E-Bikes for heavier folks.

Hello! I am on the heavier side and looking to get healthier. I am currently at 380lbs and was looking to get an E-Bike - the plan is to pedal to the local gym for a light cardio workout, and have the motor lug me back up when I am leaving the gym completely spent.

As you can imagine, due to my weight, I need a very sturdy, likely fat tire bike that can support my weight without any damage to it while simultaneously managing to somehow lug my way too big self around when needed.

I've been given a suggestion of Mokwheel Obsidian 2.0 with the step-over frame as it supports 500lbs loads (so lets me even load up on some groceries sometimes). I've also been told that this is one of the best e-bikes at that price point (around 2200+tax).

I would appreciate the verification of previous statement as well as any other suggestions you good folk have. As a note, I am willing to spend around 2200-2500, but if you believe your suggestion is truly worth the price above that bracket, then feel free to toss it in the bin.

Thank you!
