Ready to stop lurking 👀

First post on here (hey yall!) just looking for some guidance.
I’m a commuting music producer/ artist/ studio engineer, trekking about 8miles to and from the studio (& more locations as I continue my career)
My biggest qualifiers are speed and space, so I’ve had my eye on the Euybike K6 Pro Max ($1549 after $50 coupon https://euybike.com/products/k6-pro-max-dual-motor-ebike?variant=47162577387572 ). As I get closer to being ready to purchase the bike , all these other options are popping up all of a sudden, making me enter a sort of limbo in making a decision. So here I am wondering if there are any bikes I’m missing out on (I’ve already ixnayed Anioki and happy run due to poor reviews about communication /customer reviews about bike maintenance)
Yes I’m a noob, so feel free to point me in all the right directions :)

When something breaks, who will fix it?
ApolloWav@reddit (OP)
Are bike shops strict about outside purchases?
AMC2Zero@reddit
Very, many places won't fix ebikes they don't sell because of liability.
Elk801@reddit
Not so much outside purchases as they are with e-bikes in general. They have all the complexities of regular bikes, but either double or triple the weight with every single random brand having their own angle of proprietary crap going on.
Most bike repair shops will flat out reject most if not all e-bikes.
Buy from a local and established vendor of bikes in your area.

More so with e-bikes than any other regular bicycle.

Just my 2 cents if you're going to pay 1500 or more for a bike just get one from a local bike shop
That way if something goes wrong they'll have the parts and fix it for you.. It will also be higher quality

That’s a good point ! I’ve been to some & heard they don’t sell the bikes we REALLY want. (25-40 mph)
AMC2Zero@reddit
They'll never sell anything that isn't strictly class 1-3, have to go online for that.
Impossible-Money7801@reddit
We really don’t.

i'm feeling the exact same way. i specifically fell in love with the k6f pro 2.0 gold/camo version because of the idea of going 40mph to be able to keep up with traffic, and those frames just look magnificent. but now i'm leaning towards the buvall k10 since its alot cheaper, awd and has the same motor power as the k6. its basically the analogue to the k6 pro max. if euy gave a big discount for buying two k6f max bikes i would jump on it though.
