E-bike suggestion.

Which e bike is best for long distance commuting?

[Mozziediver]

Bit hard to say, without more info.
How far is long distance? 50km? 100km?
Price range? $3k? $6k? $10k?
Will you use full power all the time or pedal say 50%?
Hilly? Flat?

Any compliant e-bike will do. Preferably one without suspension.
Tyres at least 32mm wide, with full mudguards and racks, or at least with mounting bosses for them.

How fast do you want to spend? Cheap non-name batteries and controllers won't last and have an increased fire risk but name brands do cost more.

Give us some more info on where, how far, how often you ride. Throw in some idea of budget and what level of comfort and reliability you want. Then we may be able to provide more informed options.

You’ve just asked the equivalent of “what’s the best breakfast?”.

This bike has range as per my need. The build quality and design also looks very good. But I am confused whether I should purchase it or not.

Each way or return?
If return, and price is no object, have a look at the Dutch brands. Properly put together with all the fruit: lights, frame locks, guards etc etc

The bike you linked to is 500w so illegal to ride in public in any state of Australia

How about something like this? https://www.velocycles.com.au/kalkhoff ... 2021.html
Pro:

• Recognised manufacturer. Reputable Bosch Quality mid mounted motor + battery higher capacity. I prefer Mid mounted as weight and power is centered.

• In Melbourne, easy to get serviced (important as ebikes put a bit of stress on components and need regular checkups).
  • Good range. Note that the 150km stated will be for low boost, so mix of low and mid boost on your commute might be closer to 100-120km. There are usually another couple of higher levels of boost, but you shouldn't need them except maybe for short bursts.
  • Well equipped; lock, rack, hydraulic disks, plenty of gears (12).
  • Legal
  Cons;
  • Not cheap
  • This is for a small size, you may need to shop around for your size. But dealers may be able to suggest similar models with better availability. Stocks are still a problem for dealers.
