Sounds like she knows what she wants and won't care what my opinion of it is.

FWIW, I'll put out there that if this thing is really only for such a short hop, you will benefit from the smallest mass engine you can get, perhaps cast iron block would be best, so that it warms up quicker.

Well, if it's REALLY for such a short hop, it should be electric. Yes I totally love my electric bicycle for around town hops; I haven't bought much gasoline all spring, summer, and fall this year and you know what? I really don't miss going to the gas station and giving them my money.
