    Giant 2020 ebikes?

    I went in to my local bike shop today to see if they have any news on the Giant 2020 releases. They told me a couple of interesting things. 1) one of the sales team is off to Lancaster in the UK on Tuesday 6 August, to see and demo the new range so he will be able to tell us all about them...

    Giant 2020 ebikes?

    the 700 is the same size as a 29er wheel, although then you have the tyre on top of that and it tends to be lower for a 700 than a 29er, which is more mountain specific. Its that extra volume in the mountain bike tyre that makes the 27.5 (or 650) to be the same as diameter (approx) as a 700...

    Giant 2020 ebikes?

    pretty sure if you look around you will find shops in Canada with the 2019 stock still available in your size https://www.cyclemotive.com/product/giant-explore-e-1-gts-345914-1.htm so if you are not happy with the 2020 spec when it is released you should still be able to shop around.

    Testing Giant Explore E3+...

    well done on riding 60km round trip commute a day, and at 67, chapeau! I sometimes use my mountain bike (a non ebike, an Orange Clockwork 29er) to commute to work (only about 2 miles) then take the scenic route home up over the hills and back along the cliffs (approx 10 miles), but I have added...

    I am based on the Isle of Man so Google thinks I'm international and returns everything from US, to UK to Australia, I have to be very specific to search locally.

    Hello from the Isle of Man

    Hi all, I'm a mid 50's bloke from Liverpool, been here on the Isle of Man for the past 20 years, and I try to keep reasonably fit. I stopped doing half marathons a couple of years ago after damaging both my achilles from over training (and from weighing over 100kg), and my knees are not that...

    Giant 2020 ebikes?

    good to hear, not sure whether to wait for the new bikes to come out (in the UK) or just buy a discounted 2019 bike. I'm after a Fathom E+ 2 29er and they seem to be selling out fast. If there is a new motor or battery pack then it might be worth waiting another couple of weeks, but if its...
