I’m partial to the Brompton e-bike myself, but the author of this article rides a Rad: https://slate.com/business/2023/06/e-bike-buying-changed-my-life.html
As nice as it might be, Brompton (even acoustic-only) is not in the "hopefully not too expensive" camp. Unless maybe you can get a deal on one used? (probably not given it seems to be a cult-classic sort-of-thing)
I did legitimately think about clones for a bit before finding a cheap as-close-as-I-can-get ebike, though.
