This one has smaller battery (around 25 miles), but has a rack.

This one is 48v, so has a lot more power for climbing hills if you're heavy or weak:

Any replies are pointless unless you state how much you can spend and what you will use it for

Your commuting requirement is so short anything will do. If you have secure storage at work, then maybe let other likely uses determine what you buy. If you don't then cheap and cheerful so the other bikes get pinched first!
