Advice on ebike for my wife

Hi, I'm new to the forum and although I've read quite a few reviews I'm still confused...

I'm a road bike rider in my fifties and typically ride 25-40 miles on a ride through the "rolling" countryside of Oxfordshire. I normally average about 16-18 mph. My wife has a road bike but NEVER uses it - she has an upper back twinge which makes a road-bike position uncomfortable, and she struggles on any sort of hill due to lack of cycling fitness, and wouldn't want to go more than 12-15 miles...so I cycle alone or occasionally with a friend :-(

I realise that I'll probably have to dial back on the average speed whatever I get her, but I'd like to find an ebike that will, as far as possible, enable her to keep up with me in comfort (probably leave me for dead on the hills) for a decent distance and in comfort.

No particular budget in mind...I'd rather get quality that she can really enjoy rather than compromise for the sake of saving money.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
