700km with my giant suede vae better than my bike
I'll give you my opinion on the Giant Suede VAE after traveling 700km to its handlebars.
Let's talk about the driver:
1m78 67kg
It's been 10 years since I ride on 2 wheels in paris (6 years 50cc and 125cc bike in 4 years) I have traveled more than 35000km in this wonderful city ( or do I mean jungle) ...
I think I have a little experience of the city and urban transport in general. Short introduction
why a bike:
Thus a few months ago, I was looking for vehicle clean, convenient, environmentally friendly and assures maximum freedom ... and I came to a close interest in electric bikes.
because after 10 years of 2 wheelers, we are used to drive fast machines that allow us to get from point A to point B in a short time, while staying dry (no tranpiration) in great shape and free
The problem of two wheelers is that their behavior is stressful and it comes quickly to honk at anything that moves, more helmet hair grease lol ca ...
For my wellness, I decided to buy a VAE and my choice is quickly focused on his giant suede online, its power and reliability (engine and frame giant Sanyo).
Let's talk about the bike: GIANT Aluminum frame
AluxX ™ 6000 series
derailleur Alivio 7 speed adjustable stem
tires Kenda 26x1, 75, 60 tpi tire repair
VL Comfort saddle
SANYO Motor, 36 Volt, 250 watt,
Equipment Battery removable NiMH 8Ah / Battery Charger / Rack / Carter String
The Test:
Compared to a bike has a clear advantage vae its engine! This allows the choice of making a constant effort without sweating (eco mode) or do almost no effort (mode full: it is like pedaling a slight descent to maintain speed).
addition of the motor giant suede pair with its sensors allows a lively start with plenty of torque. I say it goes from 0 to 20kmh in 3 seconds, it even exceeds the cars start is surprising ... when you're on a bike! lol
In Coast, the motor assist us even more and climb a steep slope just 22kmh while in cycling is difficult to ascend 15kmh.
So there is a clear advantage over the bike is that it does not get tired and can exercise when you want ... pert by cons we do not benefit the bike (lightness, reliability, convenience, speed ...)
The advantages and disadvantages of APL compared to the bike
Benefits: +
freedom because no helmets, jackets and company
+ shape (when it wants to make exercise it turns eco otherwise in full to be quiet) + Zen
because more noise, more cap, happiness after all! +
economical because it costs nothing to use
+ practice (even when it rains the poncho and we left 10 sec)
+ ecological +
sociable (people cycling and even the others are nicer)
Disadvantages :
can not be
two on the bike and I see no other
Conclusion:
After 700km of use, I realize that the electric bike is the ideal vehicle for urban travel.
I'm totally filled and I do not regret my bike or my scooter (which is almost always in the garage). Indeed
on a journey of 7km in VAE I put 28min (without breaking a sweat and Zen) and I bike 20 to 25min Mettai while being stressed. More travel time in APL is almost fixed (no cap ...) so I always arrive on time at the office :-)
