GIANT E-BIKE TECHNOLOGIES
At the core of every Giant E-bike is an integrated group of technologies that forms the operating system of every Giant E-bike. These user-friendly components and technologies—including motors, control units and battery packs—are made to function as part of the overarching E+ System that seamlessly combines electric power with human power to produce a smart, natural and powerful ride experience.
SMART
Giant’s RideControl units make it easy to control everything on your E-bike in a simple, intuitive way. While riding, you can view critical data such as battery life, speed, distance and GPS. The control unit can also be used to record your ride, navigate routes, pursue fitness goals and view system data. RideControl also makes it easy to switch power modes while you ride. In addition to riding functions, you can connect the display units wirelessly to the Ride Control app and configure the controller to your personal preferences.
NATURAL
yncDrive motors use up to six sensors to automatically detect pedaling cadence and force along with speed and S motor rotation. The motor delivers power based on a rider’s input and the chosen support mode. This motorized support blends seamlessly with a rider’s input, so it feels smooth and natural. Giant E-bikes also feature SmartAssist, an automatic adaptive support mode that maximizes efficiency by delivering the right amount of power you need, exactly when you need it.
POWERFUL
The Giant E+ System’s advanced motor technologies and batteries help you ride farther and faster with less effort. Providing up to 400% additional support, the Giant E+System offers different motors for every style of riding—from commuting and recreational riding to high-performance trail and road riding. Our EnergyPak battery systems give you long-lasting range, and smart charging technologies make it quick and easy to recharge.

SMOOTH CONTROL
Engineered for a smooth, controlled riding experience on a wide variety of terrain—from rough roads to dirt paths and trails—the frameset features an all-new rear suspension setup called Stable Link. With 100mm of travel, a single pivot design, combined with an idler pulley, ensures optimal suspension kinematics. The rear carrier is disconnected from the rear wheel and effectively placed above the suspension system. This vastly improves the suspension performance, especially when riding with a heavily loaded rack. The frameset features an elevated swingarm and belt tensioner that maintains consistent belt tension during compression and a unique floating rear carrier is attached to the main frame, allowing the rear wheel to move through its travel without affecting cargo on the rear rack, which can hold up to 44lbs. The Stormguard E+ also features a 100mm suspension fork up front. With the front and rear suspension systems working in unison, both tires maintain steady contact with the ground, absorbing shocks and vibrations and improving traction on rough roads or dirt.

POWERFUL SUPPORT
This new SyncDrive Pro is the most advanced motor in the Giant E-bike lineup. With a hill-crushing 85Nm of torque and a 400 percent support ratio, it delivers consistent pedaling support on all types of terrain. Whether you’re accelerating from frequent stops in the city or riding uphill while carrying extra weight on the cargo racks, you get instant engagement that feels smooth and natural. The motor, co-developed with Yamaha, is optimized for the Stormguard chassis and Stable Link suspension. Its Smart Assist technology uses six sensors to determine the precise amount of power needed for your riding style and the terrain you are riding. It also has reduced noise levels and a narrow Q-factor for optimized pedaling performance. The motor is powered by the all-new EnergyPak Smart 800 system, the first to use E-bike optimized battery cells. This guarantees optimal performance and a long lifespan. At the core of this new battery system is a new 22700 cell type, which vastly outperforms the standard 21700 and 18650 cell types found in most E-bikes. The system uses a total of 40 cells, the same as most E-bike batteries, but these larger cells have greater discharge capacity. They also run cooler, which means less stress on the system and a longer total lifecycle.

SYNCDRIVE PRO
The Stormguard E+ comes with the newest iteration of the SyncDrive Pro motor. It is co-developed with Yamaha and optimized for the Stormguard E+ chassis. It has a compact shape, and at just 5.95lbs it’s lighter than the previous generation motor. This new SyncDrive Pro motor also delivers increased torque output (85Nm) with reduced noise levels while retaining its instant engagement. The compact design also allows a narrow Q factor, which ensures a natural pedaling position with minimal strain on the knees.
BENEFITS SMART ASSIST ased on automatic calculations, the 6-sensor Smart Assist technology B
determines the precise amount of power a cyclist needs. This results in an extremely smooth and natural riding experience.
INSTANT RESPONSE The motor engages instantly when power is applied to the pedals. This helps the rider control the bike when accelerating and offers reliable performance on steep climbs and at lower speeds.
TUNABLE PERFORMANCE he rider can tune the support ratios for a more dynamic ride experience T that matches every rider’s individual needs. This is our most powerful motor technology with a massive 85Nm of torque and a 400 percent support ratio.

ENERGYPAK SMART 800
This integrated 800Wh battery system is purpose-built for the specific needs of E-bike usage. At the core of this new technology is the groundbreaking new 22700 E-bike specific cell type, which vastly outperforms the more common 21700 and 18650 cells. The numbers refer to the physical size of the lithium-ion cells. With increased density, reduced weight, and a higher volume that helps it run cooler, the new 22700 cell is ideally suited to the demands of high-performance E-bikes. The system uses a total of 40 cells, the same as most E-bike batteries, but these larger cells contain more energy, allowing you to ride longer distances on a single charge. They also run cooler, which means less stress on the system and a longer total lifecycle. Built with a sturdy aluminum casing, the EnergyPak Smart 800 is rated for safety and impact resistance according to the highest test standards in the industry. It’s also a modular system that allows previous generation systems, including the EnergyPak 500 and EnergyPak 625, to be swapped out and upgraded to this new 800Wh system. The new EnergyPak Smart 800 also marks the launch of Giant’s new CO2 neutral battery production. As part of its commitment to reducing the environmental impact of battery usage and production, Giant has taken a leadership position as the first manufacturer to use E-bike batteries from a CO2 neutral plant.
