I can't speak to the newer models (and have heard bad things about the company's customer service lately), but a Rad Power Bike from a few years ago would probably be decent for most uses.
Probably good to specify some additional things so people can help: What country do you live in? How far is your commute? Do you need options for cargo (baskets, a rack for panniers, etc.)? Any preference for stepover frames vs standard? Does bike weight matter (lighter ones tend to be more expensive)? Storage options (apartment or house/garage)?
I'm in the USA, probably not more than 10-20 miles for my commutes. A basket would be great. No real preference on frame type or weight beyond manageable. I'll be storing it in a garage.
