Company launches new electric bike with adjustable torque in Canada that promises to revolutionize the segment. New e-bike delivers up to 250 km of autonomy and 85 nm of torque.
If you are thinking about purchasing an electric bike, the market offers a wide variety of models to meet the most diverse needs, from urban commutes to off-road adventures. Thinking about trail and challenge lovers, Giant, a world leader in the bicycle sector, has introduced the Yukon, an e-bike designed especially for adventurers. With advanced technology and robust construction, the Yukon promises superior performance on uneven terrain, making it an excellent choice for those looking to explore new paths without sacrificing power and reliability.
Meet the e-bike with adjustable torque
The new e-bike is an upgrade from previous e-bikes, with two secrets: wide tires and adjustable torque. Giant's launch is an upgrade from the Yukon, a model known for its wide tires, which are lightweight and can handle extreme conditions, and the motor (a SyncDrive Pro 2, in partnership with Yamaha ). The torque is 85 Nm, however it can be configured according to the terrain.
For example, for those who are driving in a slippery area, there is an application that reduces the torque level to make driving safer, making the new e-bike perfect for facing different situations.

According to New Atlas, this adaptation of the electric bike happens in milliseconds. The app can also be used to adjust motor specifications, as there are five pedal assistance options.
The new e-bike’s 27,5-inch alloy rims wear 4,5-inch-wide Vee Snow Avalanche tires. There’s a mid-drive motor in the bottom bracket, and the downtube is a bit beefier to accommodate a battery.
New electric bike with adjustable torque delivers 250 km of autonomy
The new electric bike from the Taiwanese multinational is removable and offers 800 Wh, with a range of 250 km per charge. It is worth mentioning that this depends on the terrain and the type of driving, and may be less in some cases. It is worth mentioning that it is possible to purchase a battery extender apart from.
The e-bike has an aluminum frame with space for a tool kit and bottle cage. The model has a 10-speed gear set and hydraulic brakes. The new torque-adjustable electric bike does not have a rear shock absorber, but it does come with a shock-absorbing fork.
Previous models of Giant's electric bike are available for purchase internationally, but the new version is currently only available in Canada. There is no word on when it will be available again. The price there is $6.499 Canadian, which is equivalent to around R$26.820.
Electric bicycle market grows in Brazil
The national market for electric and self-propelled bicycles produced and imported 200 thousand units last year, according to a report by Brazilian Bicycle Industry Association (Aliança Bike). Of the 200 units, around 50 were electric bicycles and 150 were self-propelled vehicles, small scooters, scooters and electric bicycles.
The electric bike niche alone grew 12% compared to the previous year, and the association's projection is that the sector should grow up to 21% this year. The data is generally released at the beginning of each year, however, changes in Brazilian legislation last year led the association to change the survey methodology.
Considering only e-bikes, those with pedal assistance, the market generated R$500 million. Of the total sales, 54% are for urban use, and 44% are so-called electric mountain bikes, used in the sports niche, which have an average ticket price of R$15.618, three times that of an urban bike, with an average price of R$5.871.
