Low step thru E-bike

[Take2]

Anyone had experience of a decent low step thru e-bike with crank motor.
Want to ensure it has decent power for gradients, so, 50Nm+. Don’t want to pay 2k+ only to find it runs out of puff on a steepish hill.
I know bosh motors have 50,60,70Nm and read that the 50’s are a little under powered. Now I realise that a lot depends on the cyclist, well, this is for my wife who finds it difficult on hills and even struggles a little when first setting off, especially if there’s a gradient to overcome.
Feel free to ask questions if it’ll help to get a clear picture on this.

Im intrigued with vanmoof Bikes but they do not do a step through

Me and my better half both have Trek Verve 2 step through electric bikes with Bosch 500w crank motors - had them for nearly 3 years now and they have let us down even on a 20% gradient in Portugal. They fit in our Dethleffs Trend garage and a full recharge takes about an hour - 25kg each which does add to the payload but we removed the bike rack to compensate

We have Scott sub ebikes which are step thro. They don't do the same model any more. But the Trek is the nearest one to it which i would go for, and get the latest generaton Bosch motor you can find, Gen 4 i think. The motor is more important than the battery size. Step through are needed as i won't be able to cock my leg over a crossbar if and when have a hip replacement.

We reduce wt on the carrier by removing battery and saddle. Makes them more secure too.

Hi Take2
I have a step thro Raleigh Motus Grand Tour E bike and when I set off I put it assist level 1 to get started and then switch back to non assist when I am going. I don't know if this would help your wife.
Best of luck.
