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.

I absolutely agree with you about the bike thing and I may have to start leaning that way (especially with the distance I have to go). The trouble is that there are not very safe places to park it where I work, unfortunately. If you don't mind me asking what is the price range for building your own? That seems like a great option if I can figure out a safe place to secure it.
