it would be a legal ebike so 250w pedalac
Max Torque (nm)?
It has the SyncDrive Life motor which is 60nm
That Melbourne Giant website is a bit of a joke isn’t it - hardly any details - definitely not the ones that the target market would be interested in like range etc
Amazes me how pathetic some companies still are at online sales this days - especially when you’re talking an RRP of $4k product
Agree like how do you not include range for an ebike?
As bad as Carsales listings or eBay listings.
TELL ME WHY YOU’RE SELLING
Sure, but could you believe them?
Not to mention they have one fairly useless photo.
Looks like small and medium are OOS
Pretty good price for a mid-drive electric bike, though fairly bare bones overall
I found this bike on a few websites (including branded as Momentum in the US) and they consistently said 375Ah for the battery.
We can use a calculator like this one and put in what we know to get a range estimate.
The pedal assist will cut out at 25km so I used 15mph, we know it's a 250w mid-drive with an internally geared 7 speed hub, and assuming a 36v 10.4A battery (36x10.4=374.4), for an average weight rider the range is likely to be somewhere between 18 to 34 miles = 29 to 54 km depending on how and where you ride.
Awesome bikes these. I had a Quick E+ for a couple of years which is similar to this and it was flawless. Sold it as we moved and didn’t need it anymore. But battery held up and didn’t degrade over that time and the motor was like new. Very comfortable to ride too. The only thing the bike shop did was replace the cassette after about 2000km. I think I did about double that over that time to/from work.
That's really not much km out of a cassette !
I know Ebikes chew them a bit faster but even still …

They have men’s and ladies’ versions with several sizes available and specifically state battery is 500. I know this is true for the blue women’s version as a friend has one.
I plugged 500Ah into the calculator above to see how achievable the official estimate of "20-120 km depending on riding mode and terrain" is.
To get 120km you'd need to weigh less than 50kg, be fit enough to ride at high cadence continuously, use minimal assist, ride at 8km/h, fit road tires, ride on paved roads, with no hills, and no headwind.
The bigger battery lifts the realistic range for this bike for a normal rider to 38-72km which is not bad
