I have previously used an e-bike for commuting to work. The goals were to get to work less sweaty and more quickly.
It had its ups and downs. I certainly wasn't fresh as a daisy upon arriving at work, even with the e-bike's help.
The model I chose was rather longer and heavier than a regular bike, and that was a definite inconvenience. Going up stairs, storage, etc. And that's not getting into the mechanical reliability issues I had (Chinese off-brand import).
It was an interesting experiment, but I wouldn't do it again. You'll need to carefully consider all the factors before choosing something like this.
