Giant SyncDrive Sport, 80Nm, 250W motors

[Charliefox]

As the owner of 3 Giants, 1 electrified by me, would like to hear from anyone riding Giant's new Ebikes. In particular, how does the Giant SyncDrive Sport, 80Nm, 250W motor compare with the Bosch or Yamaha motors fitted to the like of Haibikes?

I will answer myself! Just realised from the Giant website that it is the Yamaha. Bike prices seem competitive compared to Haibike but Forks are Suntour Aion rather than Rockshox and the like.

Already well documented but in a nutshell, unless the newer bikes are different then my Yamaha motor gives all its assistance at a lower cadence and fades away at anything over 85 rpms, whereas my bosch bike is just the opposite with power increasing with cadence.
