Recumbent Bike

I never liked to use stationary bikes at the gym, going nowhere on a bike doesn't seem natural. When I found this used Giant Revive DX online, I knew this was the exercise bike I had always been looking for. Giant agrees as their sales literature highlighted the computer ergonomic design it was based on. But it took awhile to get it right and it was good stuff from GrinTech that made that happen.

This perfect semi-recumbent form has allowed me to take long rides on suffer no hand paralysis or pain. — Revive - Ready for Morning Ride

with ideal locations for braking and PAS controls. — Ergon Handgrips

I have started using the Ryobi 40 volt Edge 8 amp batteries as a new reliable standard. These batteries are robust and keep up with constant use. The Edge version is a new version and a real power provider. — A Good Battery Solution

The Giant Revive is a heavy well built bike. The welding is top notch and the materials used are premium. I highly recommend the Revive as a e-bike conversion candidate. — The Revive Frame

The Nine Continent was perfect for this application with the right rim. There are torque arms installed on each side of this motor as the front brake will be completely regenerative. — 9C+2706 Motor

The right rim combined with a Shinto moped highway rated tire gives the Revive a better ride and puncture resistance with a 4 ply tire combined with puncture resistant tubes. — Stranger XXL-7000 BMX Rim

The Shinto tires fit both the fork and rear frame with careful lacing. — Will It Fit?

Having a torque arm on either side of the motor is peace of mind for the front braking which is completely regenerative. The original front wheel set used a roller brake. — Second Torque Arm

The GrinTech 24 pole PAS sensor for square taper bottom brackets was a perfect fit on the Revive. Having 24 poles gives a very smooth PAS response compared to the 12 pole variety. — 24 Pole PAS Sensor

With a 7 speed Nexus IGH handlebar gear control next to the GrinTech PAS potentiometer, I have perfect control of the cadence and effort throughout the ride. — PAS Knob/Nexus Shifter

I saved back a few of the GrinTech combination throttle with brake button for special builds. In this case my front brake is completely regenerative and initiated with the green button. The Up/Down control for the CA3 controls the regenerative brake levels. — GrinTech Old and New

The Baserunner controller works well with the battery as the locations have minimized power wiring distances. — Baserunner Controller and Battery
