Weight
The most accurate way to determine any bike's weight is to have your local dealer weigh it for you. Many brands strive to list the lowest possible weight, but in reality weight can vary based on size, finish, hardware and accessories. All our bikes are designed for best-in-class weight and ride quality.

    to go quicker

    It can go a lot quicker without unlocking.
    The motor won't assist you though over 25km/hr

    some of them just need a USB stick plugged in, or a wire/pin-out changed. depends on the controller.

        Twist the wheel rotation sensor away from the magnet on the rear spokes. Add a magnet to the left crank and line it up with the repositioned sensor. Then the bike thinks each pedal rotation is one wheel rotation and you have a much higher speed limit.

    There appears to be one AU shop doing it but it costs $350.

    It's done wirelessly and is reversible.

    Yes, switching from a manual bike to one powered by electricity from burning coal will certainly help the environment (and your waistline). 😕

          @jv: my ebike has replaced my car for 60% of my annual kms.

          most of my trips are under 5km, on the ebike those trips take 8min. Uber or car takes 25min due to traffic/no right turns/one way streets and the uber cost is $15-30 depending on time/weather.

          the bike cost me $1k so its already paid for itself. granted it was a DIY bike from spare parts an e-bike enthusiast had, but even at twice the price it would be saving me money.

          charging the battery frequently I haven't even noticed it on my electric bill.

          bear in mind my car is a sports car so operational costs skew up.

          • Im now spending heaps less on fuel. down from a 55L tank a week to a 55L tank once a month. thats 90RON too, btw.
          • my insurance is now significantly cheaper because I nominated my usage kms to bring the price down. from $1200 to $700.
            spending less on car maintenance so my nice tyres and brakes arent getting wasted in stop go and get used on the track or in the hills.

          and even though mine is a DIY build that has a throttle (a no-no), I still use the pedals all the time. feels weird not to. But i only ever break a sweat on blistering days.

          I ride it everywhere- pub, mates house, shops, wherever I need to go that doesnt need to carry more than a backpack.

          on the topic of emissions i dont really have an exact answer - but you better believe charging up that battery in my bike produces less CO2 than running my car the same distance. the guy that built it for me says it costs 50c to charge from dead to full.

          heaps better for me, the environment and the neighborhood around me.

              @jv: " The energy required is very low at around 11.2 Wh of electricity per mile traveled.

              If you only consider the time spent on the road with your eBike, the power consumption results in an average CO2 emissions value of 3.2-8 g/mile, depending on the power mix. In comparison, according to the Federal Environment Agency, a car emits about 240 g CO2 per passenger mile (pkm), while public transportation emits between 80 and 176 g CO2 per passenger mile."

                @Laserface: My car transports 5 people though.

                You'll need 5 e-bikes to compare.

                  @jv: 3.8 * 5 then, you absolute pelican of a poster.

                  which at a glance is still significantly less than a car.

  No specs given for the battery or motor. Good one, Giant!

    Imagine it could last only 10km then the real excercise starts.

    True, that’s amazing.

    Nothing about the electrics on an e-bike. Worst website ever

      its a reasonable setup, entry level but decent. i got about 100km for a day on a similar bike with the same drive system and battery in NZ when renting. I own a bosch smart system with 750W battery now and im still on my first charge, estimate 200km before will need to recharge it (I mainly ride in eco mode and only switch up for steeper hills)

  Anyone can compare this one with the previous Mercedes E-bike?

    The merc bike is more of a city / flat bar road bike while the giant is closer to a hybrid bike with more gears, wider tyres, and front suspension. The Giant is also heavier and has a much larger battery (400Wh vs 250 Wh).

    There is a version of the Merc with a larger 600Wh battery, but it's pricier and heavier. https://nplusbikes.com.au/pages/2022-silver-arrows-ebike-50-…
