Has anyone converted the Liv (Giant) Sedona step thru model

[Stan Wilson]

I've got a 16" Rad City Commuter and I love it....except, I'm too darned short (27.5" inseam) I'm 69 and hiking my leg over the seat and rack is also getting to be a problem. The step thru models (not just the women's models) seem to be a nice option. Liv has just announced the 2018 model Sedona and it's now got disc brakes. The Sedona is sold as a Giant men's model also and about 3 years ago the "step thru" Sedona was sold as a "'step thru" Giant. They've changed it to a "Liv" women's model. Most of my riding is on concrete/pavement, but I also do some mild trail riding at the area lakes. The Sedona has a 2.25" tire with "semi-mountain bike" tires which would be better for my off road riding.

I'll opt for the Luna (Bafang) 750 Watt motor.

Any help would be appreciated

With the Sedona, I think the step thru area is going to get blocked if you put the battery there.

You'll need to move the battery to a rear rack. A topeak mtx rack + extra long mounting arms + ex mtx bag would work. I've done this with 2 bikes both equipped with BBS02 kits.
(to keep the rack quiet, I would line a strip of felt tape on the top of the rack before sliding the bag. This will keep it tight and rattle free)

I had to order an anderson power pole extention cable (12g cable 2 feet long) from Powererx
