Are you looking to get back into cycling but feel like your fitness isn’t quite there yet? An E-bike can be the perfect solution to bridge the gap and help you return to your previous levels of fitness, while still enjoying the two-wheeled activity.

The thought of getting back into the sport can be daunting, but with an electric bike, you can still enjoy riding and work your way back to full speed. You’ll be able to ride much further than you could do on a regular bike, making it much more enjoyable and increasing your motivation to get out and ride.

Say Goodbye to Being Dropped

We’ve all been there – halfway up a climb, completely exhausted and watching your riding mates zoom off in the distance. With an electric bike, you don’t have to worry about being dropped. The power assistance in the UK is limited to 250w and a maximum speed of 25km/h, so when you reach a long climb and your speed starts to dip below 25km/h, the power assistance will kick in and provide help to keep you on the tail of your quicker riding buddies.

You can adjust the assistance levels on the fly via the dashboard, so if you feel like the legs are burning, you can make a few changes which will give your legs a much-needed rest. The Panasonic battery on some of our e-bikes has a range of 150km, so you can enjoy assisted pedalling for even the longest rides.

You’ll Still Get Fitter

One of the biggest myths about electric bikes is that the Yamaha motor will do all the work for you and won’t get any fitter – as we’ve mentioned, the power assistance is limited in the UK, which means you’re still required to put in effort whilst riding. The motor is there to support, rather than take over, your riding efforts, so there are still plenty of fitness gains to be made with an electric bike.

All Giant e-bikes come with various levels of support, which you can choose directly from the RideControl unit located on the handlebars. You can start with the highest level of support and as you feel yourself getting fitter, you can reduce the support level down to ‘basic’ or ‘eco’ mode which will rely more on the power from your legs, rather than the motor.
