GIANT Stance E+1 ( Cat.:"B", size: L / 19" )

The basis of the e-bike is an aluminum frame made of high-quality ALUXX SL alloy and with a very well-thought-out geometry, thanks to which you will feel comfortable on the e-bike even during long rides. The Stance E+ is also suitable for more technically demanding terrain, which is where the FlexPoint rear suspension, which provides 120 mm of travel, as well as an air-suspended fork with 130 mm of travel, comes in most handy. Especially on hills, you will appreciate the powerful SyncDrive Sport Yamaha central engine, whose torque of 70 Nm together with support of up to 350% will "take" you even up very steep or long climbs.

There are five manually selected driving modes or the fully automatic Smart Assist mode, which adjusts the most suitable level of assistance for you, thanks to acceleration (accelerometer) and tilt sensors. On the RideControl control, you switch on the electric drive and select the desired power level or the fully automatic Smart Assist mode. As soon as you lean into the pedals, even slightly, you activate the PedalPlus sensors, which transmit information to the control unit, which sends a request for the appropriate amount of power to the EnergyPak battery. Subsequently, the energy is transferred to the SyncDrive motor, which starts up smoothly and starts to help you pedal. The integrated EnergyPak Smart battery located below the lower frame tube provides a capacity of 625 Wh, and a "smart" 6-amp Smart Charger is used for its very fast charging.

The RideControl One ANT+ control unit includes dominant ergonomic buttons for switching riding modes, clearly visible LEDs showing the battery status and the selected riding mode, and a button that activates the motor assistance mode when guiding the bike while walking (so-called walk assist).

Thanks to Bluetooth connectivity, you can then pair your bike with the RideControl application, which you download to your smartphone (downloadable for Android, iOS). This application will then offer you a lot of other useful functions, such as adjusting the amount of support in all driving modes or various fitness functions. ANT+ connectivity makes it possible to connect the e-bike to some devices that use this modern communication protocol (cycling computers, sports navigation and sports testers). In addition to the standard Stance E+ models intended primarily for off-road use, the Stance E+ EX model is also available, which is equipped with a rear carrier, mudguards, lighting and a stand - it is thus designed more like a "means of transport".
