I would recommend trying bikes at your local shop and avoiding the e-mopeds. A good pedal assist bike with a quality mid-drive motor and good torque will make it quite easy to ride and you won't need to work hard if you don't want but you can ride it more places. Throttled machines tend to be not allowed on many bike paths and places like that and for very good reasons.
