I've read comments about frame rigidity for all the years I've owned step-through builds. I've never noticed it on any of the 3 frames I've kitted. I'd have thought that if it were an issue it would be more obvious on a frame not engineered for eBike builds.Don't miss swinging a leg over one bit. The frame feels plenty rigid enough for road and light off-road use. And it works well with my Thule EasyFold XT hitch rack.
FWIW Electra Townie step through acoustic and electric are the same frame.
BTW that is an attractive factory eBike. I especially like the rear rack integration and the front rack looks like it belongs. Not an aftermarket hack. How have Surface shocks performed? I know it's new to you but had you read any disappointing reviews? Who makes the shock?
