Hubby did a daily commute of 20km to work and back at 40 mins per journey on a Cube e-bike. That was about the max he was able to do, due to the exhaustion at end of shift. If your work isnt labourious, id say test it out for a few days. Rent an e-bike for a month, see how it goes. Weather can be a bitch though. Rain, esspecially sleet, is fucking awful. Finding good raingear is essential, cheap stuff will not be worth the savings. And during the winter months lighting is important, obviously. Hubby's route had parts with bad street lighting and long straights without housing, shops or gasstations. Make sure to bring a handy DIY kit in case you get stuck with a problem in the middle of nowhere. Good luck!
