October 26, 20169 yr Afternoon. Too young for a motability scooter but too old to bike. I have just bought a Giant Lafree Twist and would like to learn more about it. Unfortunately, I cannot find any manuals or user guides, in fact I can't even find out which model I have, or when it was made. I have the serial number: GU1000749 Any pointers in the right direction would help. (To be honest, it scares me! But don't tell anyone.) Lindsay Gilmour
October 26, 20169 yr Hi Lindsay, Welcome to the forum. A 'photo would help identify, the bike and the controller, there are a lot of variants. My wife used to own a Giant, the one with the vertical battery inside the pannier, we never did find exactly which model it was. I think the Giants are all torque sensing. That's to say that the amount of pressure you put on the pedal is sensed and a proportionate amount of power given through the motor. You get immediate response from the motor as sonn as you press on the peddle. It can be a bit disconcerting until you get used to it. They seem to be well made solid bikes but slightly underpowered if you live in a hilly area, they are Dutch after all! Welcome to the world of the E-bike grin:D
