TWIST GETS WIRED AGAIN!

“Attention aspiring eco commuters and those who crave the fun of cycling without the work: Modern electric bikes are here and they’re breaking away from the peleton in a serious bid to win your lazy affections.”

USA magazine Wired – a publication that reports on how technology affects culture, the economy, and politics recently rated four “electric” bikes, and Giant came out on top again!

Jackson Lynch at Wired reviewed the Twist Freedom DX for the November 2008 online version of the magazine. Now, in the March 09 print issue, Jackson stacks up the Giant Hybrid Cycling Technology bicycle against three other machines, and he puts the Twist on top, giving it a 9 out of perfect-10 rating.

“…unlike jerky old-school electrics, this rig is smoooooth, with three power modes and seven gears for sweat-free riding over most terrain.”

He finished by giving the Twist the “Wired/Tired” treatment;

“WIRED: Stylish. Hits US-mandated max of 20 mph. Comfy ride courtesy of cushy grips plus fork and seat-post suspension. Internal rear-hub gearing impervious to mud and sloppy weather. TIRED: Haven’t found anything so we’ll keep riding and let you know.”
