The size has been fine for me but it's at the low end of my preferred reach range. No issues with knee contact either.
A point made by Fabien Barel re: eMTB sizing is that the extra, low slung weight makes them more stable and one of the goals of long bikes is to provide increased stability, so he feels it's possible to size down. This would be less true for the EXe because it's only a few pounds heavier than your average enduro bike but there still feels like the motor and battery placements give the bike a more planted feel than an heirloom bike.
