All things being equal, parts wise, you're not going to get much lighter in Riv World than a stripped Cheviot. Roadini would do it, but you want a step-thru/mixte, so that's out. Then there's the matter of e-kitting it, which erases any practical weight-savings you accomplished..in that situation you'll be pushing the "walk" button so the motor helps you guide the bike up the stairs. If that is your ultimate goal I would forget the weight concern and get a Clem L: it's a great bike stripped or racked up, and a good base for a motor because of the strong frame and brakes. In my opinion - having built both - Cheviot isn't quite up to an ebike build.
