Giant launches two new e-mountainbikes with Yamaha motors
The full-suspension Fully-E+ comes with an "ALUXX SL" aluminum frame with 140 millimetres of suspension travel. Giant also relies on the tried-and-tested Maestro suspension system here. The geometry is trimmed for off-road use and optimized for 27.5-inch wheels. These are supported on Boost 148 axles. The Full-E+ comes with 2.55-inch-wide tires, but is designed for tire widths of up to three inches.
The SyncDrive mid-motor from Yamaha provides pedal assistance. This delivers a full 80 newton meters of torque. The new 4-sensor system precisely measures the force that the rider applies to the pedals so that the motor can provide a seamless power boost. The motor draws its power from the 500 watt-hour EnergyPak. The integrated lithium-ion battery is said to have the highest energy density in its class and therefore enables a 25 percent greater range than other batteries of a similar weight and size. Giant states a maximum range of 200 kilometers.
The motor is controlled via the RideControl. The ergonomic remote control is easily accessible on the handlebars and allows the rider to choose from the three riding modes "Eco", "Normal" and "Power". If you need to push, you are supported by the easily accessible pushing aid. The centrally mounted display shows the riding performance, riding modes and battery charge level. The entire system can be charged via a USB port.In contrast to the Full-E+, the Dirt-E+ hardtail comes with a cross-country-oriented frame. The SyncDrive mid-motor and the battery are also integrated into the frame shape. The Dirt-E+ is equipped with a 2x crank, which is rather atypical for today's e-mountainbikes. However, this has the advantage that beginners in particular are better served on steep climbs.
