I'm 5'11", so just an inch shy. At my height I haven't maxed out the seat adjustment, and there's more than an inch left so you ought to be fine there. I weigh in a little less at about 167 lbs/76kg.
I love the bike, although I do get knee pain when riding hard or for long distances. There is a likelihood that it's not related to the bike geometry and is more related to the fact that my knees are a bit weird to begin with. I wish I could tell you conclusively it's one or the other, but I'm still trying to figure out the problem.
I asked the same question in my thread to Tern, and Josh Hon, the founder of Tern replied with this:

You should be able to ride a reasonable bike without pain in one knee. It is your knee at fault, but the tern is making the sympton "noticable". Changing the bike or your interaction with the biKe might therfore make the sympton go away. So might adrressing the ,(usually unnoticed background) knee or physical issue.
All the best
