Electric bikes fall into two types the smaller compact ones, and those like the Giant, we have had Giant Electric bikes in the past and been delighted with them, we now have two similar to yours, they are excellent so comfortable to ride, over the years it is no exaggeration to say Eddie has ridden 3,000 miles on his and I probably 1,5000. I am sure you will get a lot of pleasure out of yours.

Why can't you get more than 7 speeds in an electric anyway? I want one with more gears in case the battery runs out as I've found with the other electric bikes I've bought.

I've not ridden any but Giant's eBike range have been getting great reviews.

As a manufacturer in general they are great. My mountain bike is a Giant.

Hi your right but Eddies done a lot more we had Giants for 5 years then changed to Shwinn 7 years ago, which is part of the Giant Group. When parked up we use them everywhere and on much rougher ground than I think they are intended for, Eddies just been cleaning them now ready for the season. (y) We have seen places we would never have found without the bikes. Just found a photo of us and our gang of Funsters cycleing in the hills of Morrocco and all tidy ready to go again.
