Has Giant manufactured their own crank drive system?

has Giant sneakily manufactured their own system?

 

They only ever did that once, a crank drive in 1999, and it was a horrible near 40 kilo tank of a bike. The Americans seemed to like it, probably because it made them look slimmer:

Doesn't look like a Bosch at all...... but it does look suspiciously like a Yam motor.

Maybe Yamaha make it and just let Giant brand it under license.

Yamaha make the motor Giant uses their own battery, controller and electrics.

Yes, je James seems to have keen prices, I looked at a specialized roll elite on their site for about £400, other sites were £500
