So I turn 68 next month, and I am getting into really good physical shape. I owe it to riding my electric Giant Reign twice a week for 20 miles at a time and my standard Giant Roam once a week for 20 miles. Since I ride on the road I’ve turned both of these mountain bikes into road bikes. I did that simply for comfort. Comfort matters to me a whole lot more since I have gotten older, and on a bicycle you just can’t beat having suspension! I also put higher handlebars and a comfortable seat on both bikes.
Generally I take the same routes at basically the same MPH, and I also monitor my heartrate with a Fitbit. On setting one my Reign gives me virtually the same work out as my standard Roam. Of course when I hit a headwind or big hill I have four more power settings on my Reign, so I pick which bike I ride based on the route and the weather that day.
Bicycling is such a wonderful way to have fun and get some exercise at the same time. Come into Southern California Giant and demo one of our electric bicycles, or rent one, and you will find that having a choice of a little more leg power, when you want or need it, is absolutely awesome.
