My first e-bike - and I wish I had gotten onto the bandwagon sooner! The five power assist modes are so easy to flick between when riding (via your left thumb on the display meter) and it makes riding uphill a breeze. Headwinds are no longer an issue and I'm genuinely keen to ride this to work and to explore the local trails. The battery is well protected from rocks and water and comes with two keys to lock it in the frame if need be. Battery range is excellent - I rode 52km on my first ride in mostly Eco mode (lowest setting) and arrived home with 72% charge still. The shale green colour really is magnificent and Giant have outdone themselves here. The only slight con with this bike is moving between gears 9 and 10 (at high speed) - there is a slight delay before ... MoreMy first e-bike - and I wish I had gotten onto the bandwagon sooner!

The shale green colour really is magnificent and Giant have outdone themselves here. The only slight con with this bike is moving between gears 9 and 10 (at high speed) - there is a slight delay before the smallest gear is selected. That being said - if you use this primarily on trails you'll almost never use that gear.

Had the control panel freeze up, let it sit and hasn't missed a beat again, concerning as it was only one week old. Will see how it goes. Rest of bike is excellent.
