How much money are you looking to spend and how hilly is it?

Do you have an opportunity to charge at work? 15 miles would not be to bad for an electric bike you could charge when there. Electric bikes are heavy thought. I don't know how well a rear mounted bike rack would do for a 60-70 pound bike.

I think anything that stays under 30 mph will have a hard time with steep hills if you are carrying a lot of weight.

I believe as far as being considered a motorcycle it based on engine size and not speed. I think it 50cc but I'm sure someone else will chime in.

Are you trying to avoid registration and insurance?
