The main issue stil is though finding replacement nylon two stage gears as another user is finding out. Bearing are easy being sealed and most are marked with the size.

Well done, afaik this is the first time anyone has posted pics of inside one here.

Harmonised Safety Standards for E-Bikes A standard specifically harmonised for E-Bikes is EN 15194:2017. Most E-Bike safety requirements can be found in this standard. Examples of these are: The battery of E-Bikes needs to comply with relevant regulations such as the EU battery directive...

EU directive is75 vdc for electrical equipment but does not include EPAC's. EPAC's have a max nominal voltage of 48v. Legality of Battery voltage. | Pedelecs - Electric Bike Community

12g spokes tend to break as they aren't very flexible, the 14g sapim strongs are very good and as said they are only 13g at the bend .

Yes, 8 or 10 magnets will work, one will have to check the the C1 setting value is correct via the lcd display.

I have to correct myself as the 2D designed bike didn't occur until after Mike left Giant's. I missed out on a pair of near unused Halfways this week gone, but the door is still ajar to rekindle the sale hopefully at a later stage. I have been looking for a few years to acquire a Burrows...

The KT controller will not work with the TS BB or chain ring sensor.

Argh man, your folding bike is only a chain ring. That is a pue radical design. Yep we really derailed the thread with a total hijacking, a little dissapointed now. To get back on track though, Halfway uses a 48t so hijacking temporarily ended.

Your TS BB is no use unless opting to use a different TS controller.

I don't know if Tony '@Woosh had one or not, he was angling towards them but then opted for the 48v Tong.

For the unique design/look it would be a Halfway or nothing, tbh I have no real use for one but it would be used. Even later in life when a step thru may be needed, having experienced the TSDz I doubt I would bother with another if electrifying. A Gospade although £400 also includes a battery...

This is one of the best reviews I found on the Halfway, and sounds like the guy used the bike well. Forum home Commuter cycling forum Commuting general Giant Halfway - anyone have one? jonathan_heath Posts: 4 March 2020 in Commuting general Does anyone have one of the wonderfully...

In the end Giants execution of the bike simply didn't live up to the brillance of the designer, though in concept and the finished bike it remains a radical design from those that have come and gone. Even today the design is radical, it still looks like no other folder on the market and that is...

That's because Giant over engineered Mikes original design and the finished bike they produced wasn't all that he hoped for. Over engineered frame ,crappier rim brakes instead of the hub brakes, awkward wheel axle /hub design instead of QR axled wheels and one expects the list goes on.

Yes , Mike was bloody minded and once he had an idea he wa slike a terrier. As he once said he isn't the best bike designer but was the only forward thinking one who broke the satid mould of bike design, hence the TCR game changer. Mike wanted lightweight and simplicity and that costs money.

Regarding the fold, the only likely issue is abuse or lack of maintenance with it. I have seen some developed liitle playin the pin area of the mechanism which could lead to play and stress. The answer I saw should such an issue occur is similar the Suntour parallelagram seatpost, the copper...

The Halfway has folding pedals as part of the design, an even rarer model is the Halfway with rear suspension. The later incarnations had 7 gears and integrated mudguards bringing them in at approx. 13.2kg.

Again just one post of an issue not a resounding failure of a bike. One suspects Giant didn't want a folder in the line up but can see that on the back of the success that Mike made for them out of the TCR road bike which revolutionised the bike industry, they likely gave in to him and...
