Has anyone an opinion on this bike? I'm going to look at it on Monday, seems like the sort of bike that will fit me with the step through frame plus I will fit a yose conversion to it 18 speed alloy frame I think the wheels could be 700 but not sure. Thankyou.

Giant is a good make and yes, the wheels are 700c.

Where will you be mounting the battery? On a rear rack?

The bike has rim brakes which work OK, but they are not optimal on an eBike.

If you wanted a step through frame with disc brakes, there is the Cannondale adventure but they are quite rare

There are lots of Carrera crossfire low step bikes with disc brakes that are usually <£100 for a nearly new example. I have converted one of those with rear rack battery and it was very simple (I changed the disk calipers for cable actuated hydraulic disk calipers, which cost £25 for both brakes, took about 20 mins and improved the braking)
