The Trek FX+ 2 e-bike is a jack-of-all-trades

While I don't use one myself, I'm a big fan of the level 1 e-bikes. A Cannondale e-bike similar to the above model allows my wife to ride with me one day each weekend. Without the e-bike, I'd constantly want to go faster than she can manage on her own and she'd never agree to go as far as we typically do. She gets plenty of exercise because it is only an assist. I think it is a way better option than a tandem for equalizing disparate riding abilities. Plus she sometimes uses the e-bike to ride to work.
Being in a relationship requires compromises. I'm sure she does things to accommodate your desires. Give and take. 🤷‍♂️

This seems like a good, all-around utility bike

Edit:
Meaning, the integrated lights, the chain guard, the modest but very useful power, the bike rack—all these things make this an all-purpose bike good for recreation, running errands, and commuting. Just remember, though, that the non-e-bike is 1/3 the price, 1/3 lighter, and will never need OS updates, app updates, battery replacement, or worries about hacking (remember, even cars can be hacked) or the app no longer being updated. Raise your hand if you ever had an app you love not being updated for your current phone.
