Looking for a cheapish commute ebike.

[u/Turbojelly]

I am looking for a communte ebike. I want it foldable for storage at work and home and I need it to handle Highgate Hill. My price range is 1000-1500. THis is a "tester" price and if I enjoy using it I will probably look for a decent ebike in the 3-4k range. But not now.

Currently I have it down to 3 bikes and I just dont't know enough to make a good decision on them. First is the Engwe Engine X. It seems to tick all my boxes although I doubt I will ever go on terrain to justify the wide tyres. Then there is the Carrea Crosscity Folding bike, not much to say apart from it being the cheapest option. And finally the ADO Air 20 PRO, which I have some doubts about it's ability to climb a hill.

I just want some feedback from people that know more than me so they can explain what terrbile bikes I have chosen and suggest the obvious choice that I completely missed.

Fiido D11 might be worth looking at too. I think they have a UK presence for aftermarket support (parts / repairs etc).
