Hi,
I am looking for an ebike for my daily commute, I feel like I have read pretty much every thread (twice) so thought it was probably time to say hello and ask for input.
My commute is 21 miles each way. I can recharge the battery at work if necessary. I'm happy to pay the money for the bike as long as it does the job. My train ticket costs 2500 so the bike will pay for itself as long as it is functional, reliable and hopefully a bit of fun. I'm pretty fit. I ride daily a shorter distance and go to the gym. I weigh 95kg (all muscle haha)
So the criteria
Here are the bikes that seem to tick some of the boxes:

What are the pros and cons with these? Are there others I should be considering?
I've reached to directly to some of the dealers. So would like to thank them for the info provided so far. Ideally I'd like to come visit all of you and then make a choice. I seem to be sitting a couple hours away from most of you though so if I can limit my travelling a little bit that would be cool.
Thanks in advance.

So the criteria
- At least 22 mile distance
- I want to do the ride, legally, as quickly as possible. So I'd like to be as near to 15mph on the uphill sections.
- I'd like to be able to override any limits put on for off road fun. So a bike that is easy to switch between modes would be good.
- If there are many bikes that fit looks/price will be the deciding factor.
