What I said about the Segway Muxi Pro
A compact cargo e-bike with a front fork and auto shifting that carried me up a steep gravel hill. It costs $300 more than the Muxi.
I rode the Segway Muxi Pro for several weeks, including a steep gravel climb and a dirt trail, and its 750W hub motor pulled me up without trouble. It adds a front fork and an electronic auto-shifting 9-speed over the regular Muxi, plus fold-out pegs and a 121 lb rack for carrying a kid. The auto shifter mostly picked the right gear, but on a couple of hills it took about half a second to drop one, and there's no manual override. App setup is still required. If you only ride smooth paths, the regular Muxi does the same job for $300 less.

What I said about the Aventon Abound LR
If you need to carry kids, a passenger or a lot of cargo, the Aventon Abound LR is a great option, and I'd highly recommend it.
If you need to carry kids, a passenger or a lot of cargo, the Aventon Abound LR is a great option, and I'd highly recommend it. LR stands for long rear. Next to the Abound SR (standard rear), you get a lot more room on the back for bigger kids or even an adult. I'm about 200 lbs. I sat on the back of this bike and felt sturdy. The rear rack is rated for 143 lbs. You get a torque sensor, a 750W motor, hydraulic disc brakes, a thumb throttle that works from zero and a kickstand that keeps the bike steady while you load it. At about $2,000, I think that's pretty decent for a torque sensor bike from a brand where you know what you're getting in terms of quality.
