Giant Revell Electric Conversion With Bafang 250w Mid Drive, 13.5 ah Battery and NRX 29er Fork. This is a really great mountain bike that we had in our workshop and because of the Rockshox fork it lended itself perfectly to conversion. We carried out the work over 2 days in order for a family member to join us on a ride out and they completed 15 trouble free miles on steep hills and rough trails. Our conversions feature a throttle as well as pedal assistance, this means you can ride this as a conventional electric bike with three levels of assistance when pedaling but you also have the unique feature of a thumb operated throttle. The throttle can be used to give you a boost when you need it, steep hill and headwinds are comfortable to tackle with pedaling and the throttle but you can also ride without any pedal input which turns the bike into a 250w electric motor cycle. This may not seem much power but it is the equivalent to what a fit rider can sustain on a long ride. When you pedal as well you have 500-700 w depending on the effort you put in but you have 25 miles range or so without pedaling at all. The range can be doubled with conservative use of the battery but typically 35-40 miles is realistic. This will double your range if you plan a long trip. This means 50 miles on throttle or up to 100 miles while pedaling. If you are thinking about using an electric bike for commuting short distances the e-bike can be quicker as I find it takes longer to cover a few miles in the car due to parking and giving way to traffic, and at 20 mph I can keep up with town traffic anyway. A recent 4 mile trip into the next town took me 12 minutes. The forks and the frame are not new and have wear and tear, there is very light cosmetic pitting on the upper chrome stanchions on the forks which is reflected in why they are this bike and at this price. The high quality 26 Ritchey Wheelset is from a Boardman and has Maxxis 26 x 2.1 tyres perfect for on and off road adventures and there is a Easton handlebar again top quality. The rest of the bike is pretty much new including the 9 speed Shimano cassette, 9 Speed Shimano Altus Shifter, chain, lockon grips, soft BIOFLEX gel seat, Mudhugger rear mudguard front brake rotor and brake pads front and rear. During conversion from V-Brake to Disc brake we removed the brake posts and fitted a used set of Shimano Front and rear Hydraulic brakes. The battery is our own exclusive 13.5 ah 18650 cell Lithium Ion pack in a soft case, this design is very compact and the standard Hailong case simply will not fit a smaller framed bikes.
