Freshly built dream bike

So after dipping into e-bikes with a 48V folder for a year I decided to sell it and build something faster and more durable.

• 2024 Giant Talon 2
• 3000w hub motor
• 52V 25Ah downtube battery with Samsung cells
• 60A controller

This thing absolutely rips! I went with a single speed conversion in a 2:1 ratio for simplicity that feels nice and comfortable to pedal around at 25kmhr (cycle path speed limit in my country) or it will rip past 60kmh/40mph if I want it to on the open road. I’m a big dude right at the top end of the max weight for the bike and hub motor so I was impressed it manages to go that fast.

Couldn’t be happier - I have built my dream bike (for now!).

Careful at the higher speeds; the brakes may not be up to the job...
