The mid drive bikes are to my mind the best for a bit of commuting and very natural to pedal. Mine's a Bosch with a 625Wh battery which I reckon I could get 80 miles out of the way I use it.
I also have a front hub drive Brompton (so two wheel drive when I'm pedalling!) which is OK for shortish journeys as it has a small battery, but it has fixed levels of power that are unrelated to rider effort, which you get used to but it does not feel like a normal bike.
Have you somewhere safe to leave it at the office? E-bikes are thief magnets.
I'm just about to go for the paper on the Cube.
