Best Bike to ride before a good listening session

1969 Triumph 650 Tiger, fully restored

I have been cycling for a long time, but now I want to switch to e-bike. All the same, a knee injury makes itself felt. I also love to ride a bike in beautiful places and listen to music. Now I am reading about e-bike models that are suitable for people with a lot of weight. Share information about this.

I have a friend in his mid-70s who is still quite a strong road rider.  He also has an e-mountain bike that he rides both around here (MI) and at his place in Colorado.  He really enjoys it.  Not sure on the brand but it is probably a good one - I would suggest checking out what is available at your LBS.  Having good tech support may be more critical for an e-bike than for purely mechanical bikes.
Interesting to see this thread come up again.  I wouldn't change what I wrote 10 years ago....

Any bike I am riding at the time is the best. There is no bad ride.

Interesting thread, and glad it was resurrected.

Cycling has been my passion and my livelihood for a long long time. I’ll share a joke:

Q.What’s the difference between a large
pizza and a bike shop owner?

A. A large pizza can feed a family.

The bike(s) you currently own are the best ride before a listening session. I happen to be partial to Scott Mtn bikes and Giant for road and gravel.

Live in NYC ridding a bike you could get killed.
