Will the size of this bike work for me?
Hi,
I have bought a bike that have 28" wheels and a frame that is 50 cm, will this be enough for me that is 175 cm long?
Here is a couple of pictures of me on the bike : imgur.com/a/U3Xwfyo
The bike will be used for commuting 12 miles a day.

Any tips about this or should I just go on how it feels to cycling on?
I have compared it with my regular 28" 58 cm bike and the height of the saddle is the same but the handles is slightly closer to the knees, probably most becouse of the curved handlebar(that can be switched).

Looks like about the right size. I recommend a good bit more forward lean. Lot of weight on your butt, hard to push much on the pedals. Flat stem, try 100 mm. Of course, electric bike, fit doesn't really matter much if you don't pedal.
