My commute has changed to be almost 15km but estimated at an hour, maybe due to elevation; I used to bike 9km in 25min with a direction dependent 10 to 25m of climbs. This one is 35 to 60. Driving has really been a drain compared to cycling, but to go from a short trail ride to at least 15km on mostly regional roads without cycling facilities, I just don't know.
I'm going to assume you've already investigated combining the train or iXpress with your bike ride?
As for trying ebikes, I know https://www.cycleelectric.ca/ is a major ebike dealer, they probably have orientation/trials, but I don't have much experience with them personally.
