A brief history of Giant electric bicycles

More and more of our inventory has come to consist of Giant bikes as time has progressed. This can be attributed to two major reasons: 1) Giant bikes are very popular, and 2) We are very happy with Giant as a company. the products of giant have withstood the test of time again and again and thry have been extremely reliable.

Giant electric bicycles are high quality and are designed with a great deal of care. Once purchased, the owner of a Giant electric bicycle has to do very little to maintain the bike outside of your standard bike maintenance; the batteries need to be recharged, but the other electrical components rarely require any input, if any attention is even needed at all.

The Giant Suede E was a more recent addition to Giant’s line-up of electric bikes, and as such you still see plenty of them on the road. It features both pedal assist and a throttle. The Suede E’s secondary throttle feature allows for boosts in power and some light, effortless cruising in addition to pedal assist.

The Giant Twist Freedom is the newest addition to the world of electric bikes even folding electric bikes. The Giant Twist embodies some of the best features of the Giant Lite and the Giant Seuede E, years of user feedback and market research, and other new innovative improvements and cutting edge technology. Much like the Giant Lite, the Twist works with pedal assistance. You can set it to three very effective modes of assistance while enjoying an incredibly comfortable, easy ride. And the best part yet? You have two light-weight, slim batteries to alternate between. When one gets low, simply switch over to the next by means of a switch on the handlebar, allowing for an unprecedented range. A rear rack,7-speeds, pannier bags and fenders complete the package.

Future eBikes

anyway,I used my bike everyday to get to work everyday in the summer when I lived in downtown Toronto. I did it for the exercise and the fresh air,as I enjoyed being outside,I enjoyed the sun,I really can’t refer to the exhaust filled air along the road as fresh!

The ride there which energize me was better than a large coffee.
While electric bikes aren’t new; they are not only gaining popularity now but they may just become main stream. I don’t know if an e-bike would certainly be faster than my little legs could peddle it would give me the same satisfaction personally,but I’d be lacking my daily exercise Or would I? Ebikes are actually designed to enable the cyclist to peddle when he or she wants to; with an electric bicycle the option is there to use to motor to go for example uphill with ease Not everyone can shower when they get to work if they arrive sweaty and not everyone would care either! But having the option of not arriving at work with spaghetti legs, and still enjoying your ride to work priceless!

The least expensive ebike is around $650 CDN; but they can go as high as $1500 CDN for a complete high end pre-built folding electric bike. The cheaper way is to purchase (and install) a conversion kit; and as long as you know the technical ins and outs of a bike, this shouldn’t be too difficult.

Of course,a pre-built ebike would be or should be covered by some sort of warranty is the main advantage of it; and as with any new product,there are bound to ‘bugs’ that will need working out,whether a pre-built bike or a conversion kit.

Popular Electric bikes

Electric bikes come in a wide variety of models, with different styles presenting different functions and modes of riding. Some electric bikes are throttle-based (such as our line of eZee bikes.) In these cases, engaging either a twist-grip handle or pressing a lever will cause the electric bicycle to receive power from the motor. With throttle-based electric bikes, the rider can either cruise effortlessly or pedal in conjunction with the throttle. Other electric bikes feature pedal assist,where power rushes in from the motor every time the rider presses down on one of the pedals with no throttle is present.

Pedal assisted bikes often feature a number of different modes of assistance, where the motor provides either a marginal amount of assistance or as much as triples the amount of effort being put in, depending on how it’s set. Pedal assisted bikes are excellent for those looking to have their regular riding augmented by an additional power source, to assist them in reaching certain distances, overcoming difficult hills and inclines, getting exercize without being overwhelmed, and cutting time off of one’s commute. There are many electric bikes which based on throttle and pedal assist,suach as the Giant Suede E.

Other types of electric bikes exist as well: standard bicycles that have been converted into electric bikes using a conversion kit (take the Bionx conversion kit as a prime example), and folding electric bikes. Folding electric bikes provide all of the functionality of an electric bike, combined with the compactness and portability of a folding electric bike. Our electric folding bikes are exceedingly popular, with the eZee Quando leading the pack. Whether it be an apartment in New York or on a boat in Florida,the Quando is perfect for anyone dealing with tight quarters.

AMSTERDAM, the Netherlands - The electric bicycle was the driving force for the Dutch bike market in 2008. In the other main European bike market, Germany, electric bikes are now gaining momentum while also in other markets in Europe electric bicycles are beating the financial crisis with ongoing sales growth.

According to the Dutch industry organizations RAI and BOVAG,in 2008 the number of e-Bikes has risen to about 140,000 units beyond all expectations. Total sales in Germany 2008 raise to 100,000 units. Says the German ZIV association this number is expected to grow with about 25 to 30% for 2009.

According to industry associations,sales it is said to grow to about 400,000 on the expectations for Europe’s 2009. This number again seems at the low end of the scale given the fact that in Europe’s main markets, Germany and the Netherlands, the public interest in e-Bikes even folding electric bikes is at a high level.

The e-Bike business in china remained strong last year which is the world biggest e-Bike market. Total 2008 sales stood at 21 million electric bicycles. According to officials at the China Bicycle Association (CBA),due to economic crises last year the ebike business of China is strong with only a modest 4% reduction in export of complete e-Bikes.

China’s 2008 exports stood at 580,000 complete e-Bikes which were exported to 170 different countries. The CBA figures do not include the very large numbers of CKD and SKD electric bikes that are exported to India and the EU. With them included sales may be much larger than the export number suggest.

The recently founded Light Electric Vehicle Association as well as the EU and USA says on the dynamic growth in the last year in India, many smaller markets Even in the difficult year, it is easy to see that electric bicycles are a very important vehicle category that is becoming one of the top 5 vehicle categories used by humans worldwide.”
