To the OP: what are your main objectives? If it's cost savings, then owning a motorcycle is not going to help you with such a short commute.
If you want a motorcycle for the fun - then okay.
Converting a cheap bicycle to electric with used parts from endless-sphere.com or locally off craigslist would be the most economical. It can be done for under $500 and is not as difficult as most think. Maybe there is a safe way to get to work by bike that isn't as long - think about using sidewalks if legal and safe. Just know that you are invisible on a sidewalk.
It's hard to really offer good advice without knowing what you really want from this.
