temperature, terrain, etc.  The chart below is the approximate riding range, based on different 
road conditions, for ONE fully-charged Giant Hybrid Cycling Technology Bicycle EnergyPak.

1.  CONDITIONS THAT AFFECT EnergyPak RANGE

   Ambient temperature:  Extreme cold and heat can deplete the EnergyPak’s charge more 

quickly.

   Number of charges:  The more charge cycles the EnergyPak has undergone, the less capacity 

it will have.

  Headwinds: Riding into a strong headwind will cause the motor to use more energy.

  Rider weight:  A heavier rider will cause the motor to use more energy than with a lighter rider.

   Acceleration from a standing stop:  Since more energy is used during initial acceleration, riding 

use more energy.

   Proper gear usage: Pedaling in the correct gear for the terrain will help save energy for both the 

rider and the EnergyPak.
