My wife and I both have 2019 Giant Lafrees'. I'm the same size as you and the large fits me perfectly. Excellent choice for us. Relatively light (53lbs), 2.35" x26 tires and excellent bicycle feel. I rode mine 47km yesterday over mixed terrain including hills. The app tells me I have 59% battery left! It was in the auto sensor mode the whole time giving me up to 300% power. No need to be anxious about range. I did get rid of the puffy foam saddle and install a Brooks B67 but my wife likes the original saddle on hers. The Momentum (Giant) Lafree has a Yamaha drive with a torque based six sensor control. No throttle is required as it knows when you need to go. It is a Class 1 rated bike which can be used almost everywhere. It is limited to 20mph like all of its class. We have a shop that sells Giant nearby and have great support. The step thru frame is solid enough to feel stiff under my 230lbs.
