If you are riding mostly in the city a mountain bike is the wrong way to go. Get a hybrid and ditch the suspension but find a shop that will allow you to test ride bikes and make sure you are test riding your bikes and if they don't skip them and move on.

If you are looking for an e-bike look for something with Bosch, Brose, Shimano or similar high quality mid-drive with good support behind it. Realize you are probably going to be spending 3k and up for something decent that is going to last if you are going to be riding it regularly.
