Advice needed on electric bike suspension fork please

[Waveski]

I popped into my local Specialized dealer, a bit of feedback on the Vado SL:
The Vado SL has carbon forks, the cheaper model does not have any suspension, the top model has 20mm of suspension built into the headset. The other key point is that the Vado SL is lighter than the Vado not only because it does not have forks, but it has a smaller motor with half the power and a smaller battery The range is the same but the SL does not tackle hills with the enthusiasm of the Vado and will require some manual help on steeper hills. The dealer says it is brilliant on towpaths etc. The additional power pack battery fits in a bottle cage and is easily removed for charging in a Motorhome and the system can be set up to use that battery before the built in bike battery.

Small motor bikes will assist the rider with a surprising amount of power....buying a bike that suits your needs should deciding factor..
We both have YT Decoy bikes that can tackle everything thrown at them...
We also have small motor gravel bikes...they give us all we need for road, track and easy off road stuff....no suspension carbon fork...fairly light....
I checked the Vado on their web site...they too look like a good concept...
So firstly...decide by how you will ride, where you will ride and tell the dealer just that..
