Giant Suede E electric bike

Postby GCinDC » Wed Feb 22, 2012 10:39 am

I've gotta get rid of this thing. It worked when I bought it (tho battery dying) and now the battery is dead. I was going to replace the cells, but am tossing in the towel.

I could sell whole as is, or part out.

Specs (borrowed from nycehweels :mrgreen: )

A plastic part that holds the battery box in place is broken. The original owner used a small bungee to hold the battery in place.

Any interest?

This is the one with small front hub motor and not the Panasonic BB drive, correct?

"hub motor in front wheel." Duh, got it!

Not a bad frame though. If I were closer I might grab it, convert to rear hub, sus fork, etc. Kind of a poor man's TF...

Hundred bucks?
You'd be stupid to not buy this if you want a little starter eBike.

Throw a ping battery on the rear rack and call it a day.

Pro-tips for noobs: Avoid BMS Battery like the plague | Charge RC Lipos to 4.15v, stop discharging at 3.5-3.6v | Use torque plates/arms! | Rear mounted hubs are always best
