I’m new to the world of electric cycle and looking for some advice. What are the key features I should consider when choosing an electric cycle for daily commuting?

Motor placement: Mid-drive motors offer the best power and handling, while hub motors are simpler and less expensive. Consider hilly terrain if you need more power.
Range: Aim for a range that covers your typical commute or desired distance per charge. Popular ranges are 40-80km.
Removable Battery: Easier for charging and theft prevention.
Motor Power: Look for wattage in the 250-500 range for legal and practical considerations. Higher wattage gives more power but drains the battery faster.
Charging Time: Faster charging is convenient, but premium batteries might take longer.
