Hi--I am selling my Liv E+ 2018 because i just got the Vado SL step through. I'm 5'4" The Liv is powerful and very comfortable--i have an ebike to keep up with my (non ebike riding) husband. The only drawback to the Liv was the weight--the seat post with suspension added to the weight also. The Specialized is easier for me to carry. If the weight isn't an issue, the Liv offered cost savings.

Thanks very much for your advice. One thing we found out, the battery on the Liv also includes the trim all in one piece. On my husband's Stromer, the battery slides into a compartment inside a cover, which protects the battery and seems inherently a better design. On the turbo vado, is the battery even removable at all (a problem for Canadian winters...)?

Battery is internal and impractical to remove for daily charging.
