First time E-bike purchase

So, as the title says - I have never purchased an e-bike. I've recently relocated to Baltimore and I will be using a bike and the bus as my main modes of transportation to work and around the city. Since my bike will essentially be my primary vehicle, I want to make sure I get a good brand. I am on the heavier side, so any bikes that can accommodate a heavier capacity rider would be great! I'm just looking for something to get me to work and around the city for errands and I'm trying not to go over a budget of $1700.

Some bikes I've been looking toward so far are:

Heybike Horizon

Velotric Discover 2 or Fold 1 Plus

Lectric XP4 750

Aventon Aventure 2
