I think I need to get schooled on how those ebikes work. Like do you still pedal it? Or does the battery make the bike do it all for you

You need to pedal all the time, other than going downhill. The e-part is just assist and with the gear changes, makes it enjoyable going up hills. It also helps you to go faster on the flats as it is easier to pedal. On our bikes, there are 5 levels of assist and the more assist one uses, the more battery power gets used. The salesman told us that 75-100 km would not be out of scope for the battery but that depends on outside temperature and the incline. It is a learning curve but it hasn't been too steep/complicated so far. The big thing was the flat tires but that is all good now.

I would recommend a medium priced one; not the cheapest nor the bestest! You can always upgrade if you fall in love and use it a lot. The medium priced one will hold its value for resale.
Look for full suspension and in the mountain bike format and not the street bike format.
I am very happy that I bought mine from a bike shop and not CT or Costco. The technicians and their knowledge is great to have access to.
Good luck.
