That’ll get you a lot of bike. I’ve tried Gazelle dutch style ones and Orbea MTB ones. The Gazelle is a 2 person lift but has a good amount of power in the motor, tackles hills easily. Also sealed chain and hub gear. I think the most expensive option is currently £2400 on their website. With an integrated lock on the rear wheel and rear pannier rack it’s probably the better option to commute with.
The Orbea looks much sleeker, with the battery in the down tube. It’s a hard tail Mtb so will take more off-roading than the Gazelle urban bikes. I think they were also around £2500.
Edit: Gocycles look pretty sweet too

Just checked that Helios, amazing.
Need some advice. Father is law has circa £3k to spend on an electric bike. Obviously stock is an issue at the minute but what do people recommend. Its for commuting to central london so flat circa 30km round trip per day.
I was thinking of belt drive and hub gears for ease of maintenance. Bike will most likely be locked outside during the day also.
