My problem with 5K on an electric bike is the 50 mile commute one way to work in inclement weather.

I think the 50 mile one-way commute may be more of the problem here. I can't imagine traveling that far for work daily.

Fair enough - doesn’t sound like you were ever the target audience for a commuter bike to begin with.

The three most cycle heavy cities in Europe all get more rainfall than London.

(Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Malmö)

Something else is the problem. Maybe infrastructure or terrain.
