Electric Bikes -N- Scooters Blog

Posts Tagged ‘elestric scooters’

It’s rare when I can get my wife enthused about an electric bike.  Yesterday, when I showed her the picture of the Giant Twist Freedom Electric Bike she said the usual, “eh”.  However, when I told her that it has a dual lithium  battery system that enabled this electric bike to have a range of around 75 miles, she said, “I want one!”  I really didn’t expect that type of reaction, much less the fact that when I mentioned that the bike was retailing for right around $2200 she still said she wanted one.

Not only is the distance and the price impressive, but the Twist Freedom has a whole set of features that will set it apart from the heard of ebikes coming out over the next several years.  I should be noted right from the start though, that this isn’t an electric scooter, because the 350 watt motor won’t kick in unless you are pedaling.  Having said that I should also tell you that even though that might look like a strike against an electric bicycle of this stature, the Twist Freedom has as smooth a ride as any electric scooter or unassisted electric cycle.  The reason for this is because it has seven gears and three different modes that allow you to ride without having to barely pedal or pump at all.

From the people I have interviewed that have actually taken a ride on this ebike, the freedom twist is a very, very comfortable ride due to its plush seats with seat post suspension underneath.  The Freedom Twist also has comfortable hand grips and handlebars that make the ride sweet without sweat.

When you add up all of these factors, the Giant Freedom Twist Electric bike is an excellent choice for commuters that want to beat the gas prices that are probably going to be going again soon.
