Bike seats are both very personal preference and have an adjustment curve where even the best fitted seat is gonna feel bad for a few rides until you get used to it. Basically you want to support your two pelvis "sit bones" with some cushioning and not have pressure on anything else. The big fat cruiser seats are kind of a trap, what you want is a narrow-ish seat that fits your two pelvis pressure points but still has enough cushioning that you can ride without getting sore. I'm lucky the stock seat my bike came with works for me but it's different for everybody, sometimes a cheap seat is what's comfy.

I live in an area with very good bike infrastructure so in a lot of ways e-bike is preferable to driving/motorbiking, especially for short distance stuff in town. I love being able to charge the batteries in my apartment and not have to worry about gas. The downside is longer trips are hard and riding on the shoulder in less urban areas is a bit stressful.
