Go for it!!
Pedler, Hello!
After a recap of your needs, I think you have made an excellent choice in the Salisbury LPX. This machine would easily meet your needs of a two mile commute involving no hills.
The Wisper 905, and likewise the Kalkhoff, would be an expensive overkill on such a short ride, you would never get the full value of those long range machines.
The Salisbury's been around for quite a while now, and apart from the odd exception where far too much has been expected from them, have given excellent and reliable service to many owners.
If servicing and repairs are a worry, then take heart in the fact that almost every Town in Britain has a Powabyke dealer. Yes, I know it's a different make, but those bike shops have learned, that apart from the electrics, everything else is the same as an ordinary bike, and will therefore be happy to work on them.
All the best
Bob
