What is Hybrid Cycling Technology?

It’s NOT an electric bicycle!  Electric bicycles use an electric motor that is throttled by the rider- think moped or motorcycle.

Giant’s Hybrid Cycling Technology (HCT) combines the rider’s pedaling input with the supplemental power of an on-board electric motor- think more along the lines of an electrically ‘assisted’ bicycle.

HYBRID = (HUMAN POWER + ELECTRIC POWER)

Key Advantages to HCT:

1/ Superior Technology- the overall design of HCT models to incorporate the battery packs is seamless and fully- integrated making any HCT product aesthetically pleasing  and fun to ride.

2/ Superior Construction- based entirely around Giant’s commitment to the highest manufacturing standards of production and quality control.

3/ Superior Support- HCT products are available exclusively through Giant Authorized HCT Retailers. These dealers are trained by Giant in both sales and servicing and are equipped with the specific tools and know-how required for maintenance of HCT bikes.

What’s in a name?

In the automotive industry, the term ‘hybrid’ has become well- publicized to represent an effective alternative power source.

Giant is the FIRST bicycle manufacturer to adopt this term through Hybrid Cycling Technology.
