Is this only for specific models or only 2020 bikes?

Do you know if it works with all Giant ebikes, or just the mountain bikes?

It's only for specific 2020 models.

The charger connection has three contacts and the battery to bike connection has SIX!

The charger connection has three contacts

Well that confirms a proprietary battery!

What does that mean?

Does anyone know if the range extender will work with the 2020 Explorer E+ 4 GTS?

Does anyone know if the range extender will work with the 2020 Explorer E+ 4 GTS?

Not according to the specs, and also judging by the photos. It doesn't seem to have the piggy-back fittings that the add-on range extender battery needs.

What you might do (unless you're in a real hurry) is wait awhile to see if Giant will bring the Explore E+2 out in the States. Rumor is that they might not, but it is out here in Canada and that bike is better equipped and has the larger battery.
