Giant Bicycle seeks to respond to every biker's dream of
high-quality and top performance designer bikes.
One of its more popular products is the electric assisted
bike. Released into the market are quite a number of bicycle
models including the Giant LaFree Sport, Giant Lite, and Giant
Suede E. One of its earlier models, the LaFree Sport, is pedal
activated and powered by lead acid batteries. Another model,
the Giant Lite, is a lightweight version of the LaFree Sport.
The latest model, Giant Suede E, comes equipped with throttle
control to provide the rider maximum cruising power.
Giant Suede E was launched as a light, comfortable, and stylish
bicycle in 2005. The electric bike was specially designed
for riders requiring utmost comfort and ease while coasting
the busy city streets or hiking uphill destinations. Giant
Suede E is best used when commuting or running errands. Moreover,
driving the bike serves an alternative form of exercise that
precludes the need for a regular workout regimen at the gym.
At a glance, the Giant Suede E sure looks like any conventional
bicycle. Looking further, one will however discover its stylish
features. The bike is available in 2 Suede designs that vary
only in terms of frame structure: the Suede E Slope-tube for
men and the Suede E Step-Through for women.
Impressive!
On top of its impressive specifications is a 7-speed derailleur
powered by a US designed, Sanyo front hub motor. The bike
sports a cruiser look that weighs approximately 56 pounds
with the 9 AH/12 lb NiMh battery that fits into place on the
frame with a key. A fully charged battery can stretch rides
to at most 30 miles at a maximum assisted speed of 17 mph.
The Suede E also comes outfitted with Giant's patented dual
control mode, the Variable Power Control System. The system
provides riders with 3 power control options as follows:
(1) Pedal Activated Power Assisted.
(2) Throttle Control
(3) Cruise Control
This power-packed system is perfect for riders who want to
ride free from the efforts of continuous pedals, much like
with the automatic transmission feature of cars. Power assisted
pedals only require light pedal strokes to activate cruising
power. For an uphill climb, all it takes is a simple turn
of the twist-grip throttle to achieve more power. If the rider
prefers a pedal-less drive, holding down the throttle for
about 3 to 5 minutes will activate the cruise mode.
Can You Bundle That?
The Suede E model currently retails at US $1075 and a purchase
comes bundled with the fenders, rear luggage rack, and suspension
seat post. Previous buyers have nothing but positive feedback
about this model. Moreover, the Giant label only reinforces
its performance and reliability. The Giant Suede E is definitely
the best electric riding option for biking enthusiasts.
