I hope D8ve is not older than me. I will hit 70 next year. Nobody deserves to be older than that :) I do believe however that the Giant Road or it's new generation replacements will keep me cycling until I am 80. I can imagine an e-bike for the road weighing in at 12kilo, with a range of 140...

This Giant Road bike in the avatar is hardly slower on the straight and actually faster downhill than my 8.8Kilo Boardman Carbon Road. In American spec it does 26mph and faster in Canada. If I was to mod it to match American spec or faster then I would be liable to punitive action by the...

I would like to see "on-the-spot" fines introduced whereby police officers could take out a credit card reader and debit £30 from the account of anyone who rides on the pavements. Failure to pay would result in the confiscation of the bike and the cyclist would be told they need to pay £60 cash...

"wanton and furious cycling" only applies if an injury is suffered. And by injury, the law means serious injury or death as a direct result of the cyclists actions. Your friend should have challenged the accusation. "National" speed limits only apply to "motor" vehicles. Not to non-electric...

A typical human torso and a bike combined do not have enough mass to trigger the sensor on the speed camera. I never saw it "flash" as I passed but it got me twice in my car.

I have the Road E +1 My chainset is 50/34T. The rear cassette is Ultegra 11 so I rarely need the larger chain wheel. Since Giant offer all kinds of combinations across mountain, hybrid, city and road - an option would be to go to a Giant dealer if there is one within reach, and getting the...

It was without pedals or motor. The motor on my e-road bike is governed to Euro standards so at the bottom of the hill I was free-wheeling. I have done it on every bike I have owned and been in the mid forties and once in a high gear managed 53. It is a 30 limit and there is a speed camera at...

That was my point. I bought the Giant Road bike for the 500Wh battery, 80Nm of torque and the unassisted performance. I want range and not speed. Thanks for the replies

Forget that. I have just figured it out. :)

As above

I just bought the Giant Road E+1 which is governed to 15.6 mph but 26mph in the USA and much faster in Canada. But the UK spec means it only provides assistance to 15.6mph. I recorder 44mph downhill this morning If I wanted assistance all the way up to 44mph then I could buy this...
