Small charming villages on Lake Lucerne?

We are beginning our last 12 days after 8 weeks of hiking and E-biking in the Swiss Alps, primarily in Zermatt, Lauterbrunnen, Wengen, Mürren, and Ascona/Vallemaggia areas. As we have done all of these in past years, also, I’d like to discover another region for e-biking right now, as my husband is having trouble with one knee doing downhill hikes. I had wanted to go to the area along the Bernina Express route to possibly do some E-biking but the temps are becoming quite cool for us Floridians in the high elevation areas so now I’m thinking possibly the Lake Lucerne area. We’ve been through Lucerne a few times but have never hiked or biked there and I’ve read there are beautiful smaller villages. Any recommendations for charming Swiss villages which also may have great e-biking routes nearby? Not the serious mountain biking over boulders but the kinds with gravel/dirt paths are OK. We’ve done pretty steep climbs with e-bikes in the places I mentioned and distances of 50-70 km.

You might have a look at Vitznau and Weggis , they seemed rather appealing places.
