Good thinking, I'm sure she will enjoy it. 😃

One of the nicest ebikes out there for me (i'm not that bothered about hiding it's an ebike!), comes with a great kit, would have gone with it myself but battery just not quite big enough for what i was after.

Maybe if the 2021 comes with a 625 or 700 option i could be tempted!

Waiting for the first poster to tell you that only fat mincers that can't ride for shit buy eebs.
😂

Also you can't have a new bike thread without pictures.

Needs some pics of you putting it through its paces.
We started out with one to share between four of us four years ago. Didn't last long as no one wanted to share. 😉

I got one for my lady too... And for my son to use..
It's a small, so won't fit me! But it's great the OH/kid can come out for a 'proper' MTB ride , with hills and everything!

Good value, great spec and looks nice- looks like a winner to me!
I'd love to have one as a n+1.
We need some photos!

Why on earth are Giant releasing 2021 bikes, but not putting them on their website..

weeksy - Do you want to sell it and where are you based?

I have a friend who wants to get his wife an ebike so she can ride it once and put it in the shed. Sounds like yours fits the bill.

TBA mate i have no idea. We've not really spoken about it. I've left it in the garage all summer for her to use, my lad rode it once to the pub/cafe with me, but basically it just sat there, the weather will change so there's no chance at all of it moving over winter.

I can ask her. We're in West BErks.

It's a Liv Embolden E+

Just had some new bits on mine 🙂 SRAM brakes away, XT 4 pots on, XFusion dropper off (it's in the classifieds 🙂 ) and Reverb AXS on... Just gotta go ride it now.

Pity its a 150 drop or I would have had it.
Done a few days riding this week and not thrown a leg over the new bike yet. Turbo Levo has taken everything I've thrown at it including landing upside down with me hanging from it. Just a couple of scars on the frame and a few cuts and bruises on me.

^^^ At least you didn't land under it 🙂

Have had to go down to a 125 drop on the Reverb AXS as the stack height is a good bit taller..

You'll love it mate, the weight will remind you of your old specialized & that planted feeling, but without the effort of getting it up the hills/seesaws 😉

It is 625

Was in the Giant shop today, seems the 625 option is a pretty new thing, and they had 2 of the Reign's in with that battery, might be looking to upgrade soon to one of these!
