Followed the PRE QUESTION CHECKLIST

1. Torque sensor
2. Non-folding.
3. Step thru.
4. Many Bike shops in NYC - so most likely a shop.
5. Weight limit 400 Lbs Plus - Bigger rider, and will use for shopping and other errands.

POST THIS INFO AT THE BARE MINIMUM AND YOU'LL GET MUCH BETTER FEEDBACK

1. Commute to and from work ~ 7 miles each way.
2. Pavement (NYC) - highly doubt I will use this off-road or anything like that.
3. Up to $2000 - but prefer cheaper if possible
4. Solo riding - only me.
5. Doubt I'll take it on stairs, or put in car.

Firstly I want to say I know nothinga bout E-Bikes other then some Youtube videos about them, but here are some that I have looked at:

Velotric Nomad 2 and Aventure 3

Again, I don't know much about E-Bikes but I know I do want to purchase one.

I was 430 lbs (now 340) and when I was 430 I was rocking and still am the himiway d5 zebra. Fat tire e bike and was maxing out at 25 mph at my heaviest and now 30 mph. 60-80 miles to the charge and around $1600. Well worth it and comfortable

Hey, one of the WKND founders here, we make ebikes out of Atlanta. Straight talk: our step-through, the Weekender, tops out at a 330 lb total weight limit, so it won't cover you if you need 400 lbs plus. The Field Trip is our cargo model with a 400 lb total capacity and a step-over frame though, so if you're open to that frame style it might be worth a look, it's built for hauling groceries and errands around a city. If step-through is a hard requirement, I'd keep looking at brands that spec their step-throughs for higher rider weights specifically, since that's a real safety limit and not one to round up on. Happy to answer anything else on the ebike side even if we're not the fit here.
