Just rented our first demo E-bike

We just rented (for 24 hours) an e-bike:


https://www.specialized.com/us/en/me...=239500-154384

It is a full-suspension mountain bike, but we are playing with it both on and off road. Our bike commute home from work involves about 2000 ft of climbing in 10 miles, which I find hard and my wife finds off-putting. (The first 2 or 3 miles are steep fire-roads, and the rest is a lot of on-road climbing.)

This is mainly for my wife to try out, but it is also the first time I have ever put my leg over one. It is very different from what i had expected. (I think this one is quite a bit pricier than anything we would likely buy -- it is almost as much as my custom road bike.)

Any comments or suggestions on what to try? (I know absolutely nothing about e-bikes.)
