Liv introduces two new full-suspension e-bike series - the Liv Intrigue E+ and the Embolden E+. The new bikes were built according to Liv's design philosophy, which incorporates thousands of data sources on women's anatomy, size variations, muscle energy and performance. This data helped to fine-tune the design and geometry of the new Liv e-bike models, which were of course also combined with carefully selected components. "Since Liv launched its first e-bikes last year, our customers have been asking for a dual-suspension option for more comfort and fun. We listened and are now pleased to deliver two more models for our e-bike range," says Ludi Scholz, Liv Global Category Manager.

The new Liv Cycling Intrigue E+

The Intrigue E+ 1 Pro features 140 millimetre damping based on Giant's Maestro platform and a 150 mm travel fork at the front. The Intrigue E+ is ready for the up- and downhill thanks to a playful, aggressive all-mountain trail geometry with a longer top tube and shorter stem, a slack head tube angle of 66.5° and a steeper seat tube angle of 74.5°. The motor is powered by the 500 Wh battery integrated in the down tube. The RideControl One control unit is mounted on the handlebars and can be linked to the Giant e-bike app and PedalPlus technology. These models are available in the frame sizes XS (38.0 cm)/S (40.6 cm)/M (44.5 cm)/L (48.2 cm).

The small, cheeky sister: Embolden E+ 1 - 120 mm suspension travel

The Embolden E+ was designed to be a fun, high-performance mountain bike that offers both new and experienced female riders the freedom, fun and enjoyment of being on the trails more often.

"This playful series offers effective performance from the 120 millimeter shock. The suspension system is completed with the 130 mm fork." As with the Intrigue E+, the motor is powered by the fully integrated Downtube EnergyPak with 500Wh capacity. The RideControl One control unit, which can be linked to the in-house e-bike app and PedalPlus technology, is also mounted on the handlebars."

These models are available in frame sizes XS (38.0 cm)/S (40.6 cm)/M (44.5 cm)/L (49.0 cm).

Fully integrated, fast charging

The integration of the battery into the down tube of the Intrigue E+ and Embolden E+ offers a modern look. The battery on the Liv e-bikes is now equipped with a new charging technology that has the potential to charge the 500 Wh batteries to 60 percent in less than 90 minutes and fully charge them in just three and a half hours. This is achieved by direct feedback from the battery to the charger. With this technology, new batteries charge quickly under optimal conditions and older batteries are charged less quickly to extend battery life. When fully charged, the battery can last up to 150 km before it needs to be recharged. The smaller 400 Wh battery, also charged with a Smart Charger, reaches full charge after around three hours and can last up to 120 km.

Always connected

The Liv e-mountainbikes can be connected to a smartphone app that allows the user to track tours, navigate routes and set fitness goals based on various metrics such as heart rate, time, distance or calories. It also allows personalization of motor support, so the user can set exactly how much support each mode provides. This app, developed specifically for Liv and Giant e-bikes, will be available in early September to enhance the riding experience. The app also allows other functions - such as the option to install software updates yourself or, in combination with a retrofittable second display, to display information such as messages or calls etc. from the smartphone.
