Pros: The design and price. This bike would significantly improve my commute and lower my transportation costs.

Cons: Carrying a 19kg (22lbs) e-bike upstairs to my 1st floor (2nd floor) apartment a few times a week to charge it.

19kg = 42lbs

Thats quite light for an e-bike.

There are lots of options with removable batteries, too, but if you can park/lock your bike downstairs maybe you can also just run an extension cord?

Nitpick: 19kg is 42lbs. 22lbs wouldn’t be that much of a problem to carry upstairs :-)
