The bike’s frame is made from an AluxX aluminium frame with an extra-low step-through, which makes getting on and off the bike easier and provides additional stability. The braking system comprises Tektro HD-M285 disc brakes with a 160 mm diameter, as well as a coaster brake, which, in combination with the Tektro HD-M285 brake levers, ensures reliable braking power and safety.

The gear system is a Shimano Nexus C6000-8CD with 8 speeds, operated via a Shimano Nexus C6000-8 twist shifter. This allows for precise and easy gear selection. The SR Suntour NEX fork, with 50 mm of travel, helps absorb shocks and enhances riding comfort on uneven terrain.

For lighting, the bike is fitted with an Axa Blueline front light (30 lux) and a Spanninga Solo LED rear light, which ensure good visibility in the dark. The anti-slip pedals offer additional grip, whilst the GIANT crankset with a 38T chainring and an 18T sprocket ensures efficient power transfer. The drivetrain is complemented by a KMC Z1e HX chain, which is specially optimised for e-bikes.

The aluminium handlebars are 690 mm wide and feature a 30° backsweep, whilst the angle-adjustable stem is 100 mm long to allow for an ergonomic riding position. The GIANT Contact Ergo grips offer additional comfort on longer rides.

The bike features robust GIANT rims with an internal width of 19 mm and CST Xpedium One tyres in size 700x45c (622x45c) with reflective strips, which provide both stability and visibility. The hubs are Shimano HB-TX505 at the front and Shimano Nexus 8 at the rear, and the spokes are Sapim Leader and Sapim Strong, which enhance the bike’s durability.

The Selle Royal Essenza Plus saddle and the 30.9 mm diameter suspension seatpost contribute to riding comfort. A GIANT KSA18 kickstand makes it easy to park the bike, whilst the MIK luggage rack provides additional storage space.

Power is provided by a GIANT SyncDrive Core motor with 50 Nm of torque, supported by Yamaha. The GIANT EnergyPak Carrier battery has a capacity of 500 Wh and is charged using the GIANT EnergyPak FastCharger with 4A. The RideControl Dash 2-in-1 display provides all the necessary information at a glance.
