Hi I tried the Dailytour E+1, very nearly bought it as it is a very good bike. Then I tried the Explore +1 Pro and the difference in power (an extra 20Nm) was night and day. My fitness levels aren’t great though, so the extra assistance on the hills was very welcome. More expensive, but worth...

Here it is. Very impressed so far!

Be great to see some pics!

Yes, it’s the Yamaha Sync Drive motor

Good to hear, thank you. I have some ridiculously steep hills all around me here in SW Cornwall so I’m hoping the extra grunt will serve me well, rather than be overkill.

Good to hear

Sounds like a plan! Yes, the days are certainly dragging.....

Thanks for your reply and interesting views. I guess the debate over which is best, hub motors or crank motors, will rage on ad nauseum. My post, though, is asking if anyone owns one of these bikes (which I ordered AFTER much deliberation and research) and was really interested in views...

Yes, I've been reading that the Pro motor is quite pokey....and that the range is quite a bit less than the Sport motor....I hadn't realised that when ordering!

I ordered one of these a couple of days ago - does anyone here own one? I tried a couple of similar Giant e-bikes with lower powered motors (60Nm and 70Nm), and was very impressed with the power of the latter; the Pro motor on the one I have ordered has 80Nm.....so I imagine there will be much...

Looking forward to hearing what you think :)

That does look good. Quite pricey? I suppose that's because it's loaded. I tried this yesterday at my local Giant dealer, it was brilliant. They do a crossbar version too. Hub gears (although not CVT), but belt drive and disc brakes. Daytime running lamps too...

AFAIK, the Giant Dailytour is only available in small and medium (just looked at the manufacturer website) so Tredz probably have it incorrectly listed. Also, are Bosch motors better in any way than the Yamaha ones that Giant uses? I don’t know much about it myself, just interested.....

What about the Giant Dailytour +1? If you get the 2019 model through Tredz it will be around your budget. I'm particularly interested in this bike and am about to call my local Giant store who have just re-opened today. The other bike to consider is the Raleigh Centros Grand Tour. Deals to be...
