> They tend to be rather heavy

That's my problem - I need an e-bike because my knee is shattered but there's nowhere to store one safely outside and we live on the 3rd floor. Even my previous 10kg normal bike (with working knees!) was a faff getting up the stairs. A 20-25kg e-bike is an absolute no-no.

Not sure if it's an option for you, but some people in my complex put little sheds in their parking spots that can fit a bike

Alas, parking spots are a) only assigned when you have a car (gotta love UK bureaucracy!) and b) hugely wait-listed around here. There are garages and little locker things but, again, hugely wait-listed. Some estates around here have installed those green corrugated metal bike mini-sheds but, annoyingly, the people in charge around here seem to hate the idea.
