Giant Electric Bikes

Giant Bicycles is the world’s largest bicycle manufacturer and a household name among cycling enthusiasts, selling standard and electric bikes in over 50 countries.

When you buy a Giant electric bike, you can rest easy knowing your product was made by the world leader in bicycle manufacturing, guaranteeing years of reliable use. Upway carries a selection of certified refurbished Giant electric bikes suitable for any ride, from city commuting to trail and off-road.

Brief History of Giant Bicycles

Established in Taiwan in 1972, Giant started as an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for the Schwinn Bicycle Company. In 1987, Giant entered the market producing bikes under their own brand, rapidly becoming a world leader in bicycle manufacturing due to their quality products at a much lower price than its competitors.

The Taiwanese manufacturer’s first electric bike was released in the late 1990s, with the introduction of the first Giant electric bike, the LaFree, in 1997. This model was well-known for employing a double electric motor system, a design invented by Hosea W. Libbey and patented in 1897, which Giant modernized nearly 100 years later.

Today, Giant remains the world leader in bicycle products and a leading manufacturer of electric bikes, offering a wide range of product lines for types of riders. Some popular Giant electric bikes include the Explore E+ trekking bikes, the Talon E+, Trance X E+, Stance E+ trail bikes, the Fastroad E+ fitness bikes and the Reign E+ enduro models.

How to Choose a Giant Electric Bike

While Giant produces many high-quality products, knowing what to look for and what parts your electric bike is fitted with can help you determine which model best fits your needs. 

Engine torque

Electric motors on e-bikes develop varying amounts of maximum torque (rotational force). Lower-powered models average 50 Nm, while more powerful motors can develop 80 Nm or more. For instance, a minimum of 65-70 Nm is recommended for e-bikes for hill climbing and uphill trails.

Battery capacity

A battery with a capacity of 250 Wh is the minimum for general commuting. However, if you need to ride over longer commutes or are looking for a trail and off-road bike, look for models supplying 500 Wh or more.

Frame and wheel sizing

As with traditional bikes, electric bikes are available in many different sizes, each suited for riders of different heights. Ensure your model features a frame and wheels sized appropriately for your height. This ensures optimal posture and pedaling efficiency. For example, an M-sized bike is best suited for riders between 5’5” and 5’10” tall.

Brakes

Quality brakes ensure you can bring your electric bike to a stop quickly and safely, even from its top speed. Look for models equipped with hydraulic disk brakes, as they offer the highest braking power regardless of terrain and weather conditions.
