@inthehands A Bullitt is always a good choice. Low centre of mass, good weight distribution, handles well, comes with many cargo area options. https://www.larryvsharry.com/en/
Otherwise:
- Bosch motors are most reliable
- Get an internal gear hub if possible, it takes northern winters much better than a derailleur-based setup.
- If belt drive is an option, go for it.
- Have a set of winter tyres for the cold season. Schwalbe Winter Marathon, as wide as your frame fits. (Don't compromise on winter tyres)
