I think I'd go with an ebike and not a scooter.

Get a bit of exercise while you commute if you want. Just get something with an override if you're feeling lazy.

I built mine from a Trek 820 I already had plus a Bafang BBS02 and a 36v lifepo4 pack with top balancing BMS and charger I got from Ping.

Install was very easy, the battery pack build was the most difficult part. If I had to do it over again, I would just buy a pre-made pack since the prices have fallen so much.
