Foĺow John's lead, loads of blokes have shelled out on top of the range Ebikes only to ride them a couple of times then gather dust.
Get a second hand one with good spec things to look for is no tell tale wear and tear such as;
No scratches, cable rub, chips or dents.
Tire wear, wheel trueness bearing play.
Handle bar/grips wear and tear.
Chain, sprockets, gears no wear and tear + positive gear shifting.
Seat and seat post wear.
And check the battery charges/ holds its fill.
Different modes work - sprint, echo etc.
Only go for one that a couple of years old max.
Check out bike reviews in MBR they'll explain entry level, mid level and top of the range comparisons.

I got one of these second hand:
Emovement Thor
It's awesome and has the added benefit of a throttle (which you're not supposed to use on the road wink wink)
I drop me tools off on the job when starting then just bike to work now.

Instead of really struggling up hills they take a bit of stress out of it.
Also they can help keep your heart rate at a consistent level on hilly journeys instead of all or nothing.
Some of us are cracking on you know...
