A lot of people won't get caught dead riding a "Wal-Mart bike" for... ego(?) reasons. No matter what the quality.
Do they sell Diamondback bikes? I've never seen one in their stores and the only 2 I can find on their website look like they come from third party sellers. Walmart has some decent bikes if you know what you're looking for and/or upgrading most of the parts, but the average person looking for a reliable bike would probably be better off visiting a bike shop.

TexasElectric- With the lower speeds you're planning on riding, a decent hardtail with wide tires should do great. You'll have a lot more room inside the triangle for your battery, too.
