How about the Woosh Big Bear Plus?... https://wooshbikes.co.uk/?bigbearplus

It might be a good idea to ask on this specialist pedalec forum:

I know it's beyond your budget but the new S3 from VanMoof launched yesterday looks sturdy, good for commuting and with built in security features. It was a sort of significant birthday for me yesterday and had a bit of money given to me so I put it towards one as a treat. Not spending much on anything else at the moment!

Oh wow. Looks fab. Will check it out in detail.  And a belated 'happy birthday'!

I couldn't find any stats on the max load or rider weight.  Do you know?
