Last summer I took a 2018 $3,000 Raleigh Kodiak IE and made a full suspension commuter ebike. 10 mile each way commute mostly on and off sidewalks. It’s a blast! Bosch CX motor, added Schwalbe Super Moto-X puncture resistant tires, mud guards, cygolite head and tail lights, ToPeak seat post beam rack (not shown a Sea To Summit Big River Dry Bag held down with cargo net).

A good looking commuter rig... can you detail some of your modifications?

I just noticed your kickstand... how does the Seatstay/Chainstay mount work with your rear suspension? What model?
 
Bontrager rear mount adjustable
It works, but due to weight of ebike I don’t use it that often. I mainly keep the bike in the DeltaCycle adjustable stand.
