Everyone in Tokyo seems to have a bike so now I'm doing a lot of research into bikes vs e bikes, small tires vs large tires, foldable vs not...

Having ridden a couple of different relatives e-bikes my advice is get a bike that’s fundamentally good as a bike on its own.

Increased price tag definitely. Increased weight not necessarily. Pedal assist only is super efficient so those bikes can get away with small batteries that still will get you plenty of range and make you feel like a hero. Bikes that are throttle first are the ones that tend to be unwieldy tanks
