Giant has released two all-new electric road bike ranges - the Defy Advanced E+ Elite and the Liv Avail E+ Elite.

As the names indicate, both are based on two of the brand’s best-selling performance road bike models, the Defy and the Avail. By borrowing a few features and integrating them with motorized pedal support, Giant claims riders will ​​enjoy “all the thrills or traditional road riding but with the power to ride farther and faster”.
