In my opinion the tires are way too small and the front forks are not forward enough at 15 miles an hour you take a slight sharp turn and you can fall over the handlebars.
Do your own research Google about accidents on e-bikes
I'm not suggesting you don't buy any e-bike I'm suggesting you be extremely careful they can be extremely dangerous especially if you're 50 + years older.
And to all parents with children these are not toys.
Be careful be safe stay alive.

I don't think you understand with those small wheels the slightest sharp turn flip me over.
And in my opinion the forks are setback way too far back.
All I'm doing is giving you a warning just be careful
Seems like everytime I go to Costco I see a few of those bikes in the returns

The bike fits in the trunk of my Tesla model 3, good to carry around town and go somewhere while the car gets charged.
At $280, I think it's worth it. At $350, prob need to think about it.

I own another Costco "small wheeled" bike (Jupiter Discovery X5 - which has a folding frame, but then it also costs $700) for over a year now, along with a full sized ebike and 3 non-powered bikes - and have never had any issues. I even took the folding bike to Colorado and Vermont on my road trips. It was great!
As always, we need to use common sense with everything, These bikes are great for last-mile commuting, traveling in subways, stashing in the car, or just going around the neighborhood. They're not "workout" bikes nor built for speed.
And if you aren't a very skilled cyclist to begin with, adding a motor and battery wouldn't suddenly increase your skills. When you are seated tall and the wheels are only 14", it makes your center of gravity very high compared to the wheels - you need to adjust your riding to suit such as shifting your weight back when braking...etc.
If anything else, kids will probably be safer on these bikes than us because the bikes are more "proportionately sized" compared to their bodies.
Many other older threads here on SD for comments on this bike.

Btw :15 mph is way too fast for turns for a bike or skateboard or scooter.

The small wheels make potholes more dangerous, as they will drop further in and have a much harsher bounceback when you exit.
Do I need a cross bar adapter to mount and secure on the rack?

Their support and warranty is notoriously problematic. They will tell you to go through Costco or any other supplier to have your warranty claims be dealt with.
Read the user reviews on their website and take note. I've experienced it firsthand.
