Giant Twist Esprit for sale

[Benjahmin]

This bike for sale c/w panniers.
8Ah battery and charger, total of 406km on the clock.
18 inch frame with suspension seat post and front forks.
This is a torque sense drive, no throttle.
Vee brakes and 7 speed Shimano hub gears with nexus twist change.
It's a nice clean bike in full working order and would make a nice commute machine.
It's a comfortable relaxed ride with a wide range of adjustment in the seat post and handlebars.
We had 25miles from it ,last year on Anglesey, with about 1/3rd battery left.
I am in Carmarthenshire and would be willing to deliver to Swansea/Cardiff/ West Wales area for petrol costs.
Also could take it up towards Birmingham for the same consideration.

I'm looking for £650.

Frame size might help too

Never been sure how they are measured. What's usual and I'll put it on.
Thanks

Centre of cranks to top of seat tube is usual.

OK I've edited the original post.
Thanks

I've now put the bike on Gumtree, hoping the nice weather will tempt a buyer. I've never been able to fathom E-bay and, frankly, some of the stories on this forum have made me think there's too much rip off potential.
Is the price right? I worked it thinking this bike is around £1500 new.

Back in 2011 the Sunday Times did a test report on this model after riding it for three days and reported the price as £1695, but remarked Giant had "less integrated" models (whatever that means) from £995.

Your £650 seems reasonable if the former is the model.

Thanks Flecc. I've never managed to find the exact model in searches, the one that most often comes up is the one with two batteries, which has the suffix 'Twin'. It's a bit like trying to find out exactly which starter motor is on your particular Ford Transit. So many model variations.

This bike now sold to a lady who wants it for local shopping. Ideal. Got £600 for it, so we're both happy.
