India loves anything that saves time, fuel and gym fees. A fresh electric cycle from global bike leader Giant now answers all three needs. The new e-bike rolls in with up to 100 kilometres of claimed range, mobile app tools and a price bracket that starts near ₹45,000. Early buyers in Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru can already book test rides through select dealers and the official Giant India site.
Strong Frame
Giant has used a light yet tough aluminium chassis. The tapered tubes cut extra grams but keep the bike stiff when you stand on the pedals. Internal cable routing hides wiring, so the bike looks clean and stays safe from rain splashes. A flat handlebar gives city riders a relaxed posture while an adjustable stem lets taller users lift reach without changing parts.
Motor Choices
Two motor tunes are on offer. Entry trim uses a 250 watt brush-less hub good for daily errands and 25 km h top speed. Mid and top trims step up to 500 watts, handy for flyovers and weekend hills. The power unit runs silent and has sealed bearings, so it thrives in dusty lanes and monsoon roads. Torque sensors inside the bottom bracket add smooth assist that matches your pedal force instead of jerky on-off boosts.
Battery Facts
A removable lithium-ion pack slots neatly behind the seat tube. Capacity options range from 10 Ah to 15 Ah. Giant quotes 60 km in Eco mode with the smaller pack and a class-leading 100 km with the bigger one. A full charge takes about four to six hours on a 220-volt socket. The pack carries an IP65 dust and splash shield, so you can ride through light showers without wrapping the battery in plastic. You can also carry a spare cell in a backpack for longer tours.
Riding Modes
Three preset modes help manage juice. Eco gives gentle push for flat commutes and gym runs. Normal balances assist and pace; perfect for office traffic. Sport lifts output to full power for flyovers or brisk weekend loops. Hold the mode button for two seconds and the bike enters Walk Assist, nudging the wheels at 6 km h so you can push the cycle up ramps without effort. A small regen brake inside the rear hub feeds a trickle of power back to the pack on long descents.
Smart Console
Front and centre sits a bright colour LED display. It shows speed, assist level, battery bars, trip time and even calorie burn. Connect your phone over Bluetooth and the matching Giant RideControl app opens maps, live range estimates and service logs. The dash takes turn-by-turn prompts too, so you do not need a separate phone mount. A USB-A slot on the dash tops up your phone at red lights.
Comfort Kit
Suspension fork with 60 mm travel smooths broken tar and high speed rumble strips. Wide 700 × 45 c tyres add extra air volume, cutting puncture risk and boosting grip on wet concrete. Both wheels get hydraulic disc brakes for crisp bite, even after long downhill sessions. Front and rear LED lights power straight from the main battery and auto switch on when ambient light dips. Full-size alloy mudguards and a rear rack come stock on the commuter trim, turning the bike into a ready grocery hauler.
Price Ladder
Giant lists three main variants. Base Eco Pack costs ₹45,000 and uses the 250 watt motor with 60 km range. Mid Drive Sport climbs to ₹68,000 and brings the 500 watt motor plus 80 km battery. Top Range Pro stretches to ₹1.2 lakh with the 500 watt unit, 100 km battery, hydraulic fork lock-out and a colour TFT screen. All versions include a two-year comprehensive warranty and an eight-year coverage on the battery housing.
Rivals Check
Most Indian brands such as EMotorad and Stryder offer 50–80 km figures at similar money but skip big brand global support. Premium European imports cross ₹1.5 lakh with similar range. Giant thus lands in a sweet spot, blending an international badge with locally competitive cost. For buyers who want fitness gains, eco savings and daily reliability, the new Giant electric cycle looks ready to set a fresh benchmark.
Final Word
Traffic jams, rising petrol bills and hotter summers keep pushing urban Indians toward green rides. Giant’s new e-bike bundles long range, smart phone links and a price plan that starts well below many imported alternatives. Add sturdy parts and a future dealer spread, and the launch feels like more than hype. If you have been waiting for a credible electric cycle that fits office runs and weekend fitness goals alike, this newcomer is worth a close look before the first shipment sells out.
