Syncdrive Motor; Miscellaneous - Giant E-bike 2016 User Manual

6.3 SYNCDRIVE MOTOR

If I simply rotate my pedals, I hardly get any assistance. How come?
• Giant's SyncDrive central motor has a torque sensor. The motor assists accordingly the applied
force. More basic systems can use rotation sensor only.
I can feel sideways play on my cranks. Is this normal?
• That is ok. Giant SyncDrive Central motor by Yamaha has been designed with a sideways play in the
bottom bracket axle with a maximum of 1millimeter. This has been done for better durability under all
conditions.
How come competition motors make a different sound?
• Giant uses different internal structure than some competitors. As a consequence, we have a slightly
higher frequency and better torque value.

6.4 MISCELLANEOUS

What is the QR code on my bike for?
• The QR code can be used to register your bicycle on an anti-theft website.
What is the best way to clean my bike?
• The E-parts are best cleaned with a dry cloth. The rest of the bike should be treated as any other
bike.
Can I mount wired lighting system on my bike?
• Yes, wiring and buttons are prepared for this. Be sure to use correct type of lighting (6V for example).
My partner rides the same bike as I do. My range is much bigger. How come?
• Range is depending on a lot of influences (tire pressure, engaged own power, gear). One of them
may cause this difference.
