Welcome to Starting the Fun - Ebiking

Yesterday, I ordered a RadMission from Rad Power Bikes. I have ridden several ebikes in the past few weeks in preparation for buying one. We were in Siesta Key and my wife and I rode Rad Rovers from the nice guys at Endless Summer, We did the Siesta Sunset Tour and would certainly recommend it to anyone who's going to be near Sarasota, FL. I then went to visit with the nice folks at ElectroBike in Atlanta. Lastly, I looked at Edison Electric Bike Co which is less than three miles from our house. So, here are the bikes that I've tried and where I rode them, along with a quick impression. 

• RadRover Step-Thru Electric Fat Bike Version 1 at Endless Summer. I thought it was powerful (and they said that it had been detuned). It was far too heavy for me and because of the weight (71 pounds) it didn't really feel like a bicycle anymore.
• Magnum Navigator at Electrobike.  I thought it was too powerful and heavy.   It weighs less than the Rad Rover Step-Thru,  but it still weighed 60 pounds.  I really hoped I could find something lighter and simpler
• Electric Bike Company Model Y at Electrobike.  This is starting to feel like something I can get behind.  I didn't love the front basket, which contains the battery.   I like several other models in their lineup, but this is the only one I got to try.  This bike weighed 58 pounds, but it felt like a bicycle.
• The BLACK from Edison Electric Bike Co.,   I love the idea of supporting a small local business, but I'm also terrified of them closing down without me being able to have the bike serviced.  My wife is leaning towards getting her ebike from there.   This bike is less than 50 pounds and really felt like a bike.  I was able to ride it with no pedal assist/no throttle.

In the end, it felt like I was paying for complexity and hardware that I don't need.  I think I will be completely happy with a single-speed ebike with no suspension for about half the price of most of these. It's worth pointing out that I haven't ridden the RadMission yet, but I have watched a bunch of reviews on Youtube and read all that I could.
