Hi Parrot,
It seems you intend to do a wrong thing.
I can only just put my tip toes on the floor.
An e-bike such as Vado has never been designed to plant your feet on the ground while seated. To get on a properly configured Vado, you need to put your foot on one of the pedals, kick off with the other foot to set your bike in motion, raise your body onto the saddle with the leg on the pedal, and then start pedalling. To get off the bike, you need to gracely put one of your feet forward (off the pedal), raise your body to leave the saddle, then brake, and then set the free foot on the ground.
You are trying to make your Vado a cruiser bike. If you do so, your knees will point up, making the pedalling totally inefficient and extremely tiresome after a short distance ridden!
Please visit this web page:
Consider Vado your high-performance transportation bike, getting you where you’re going with an unmatched combination of speed, reliability, and confide...

And have a look at the right hand side to find something similar to:
It is the Specialized Size Calculator. Once you have entered your body dimensions, the calculator will give you a good guess of the proper saddle height. The saddle height is measured from the top-centre of the saddle to the centre of the spindle at the crankset/motor.
Currently, you have a feeling your Vado is too tall. It isn't. It is just designed for another riding style than you thought!
A good video! (The technique I described is better for Step Through Frames).
