I have a
Giant Lite/Twist. It's no longer made, but
can still be found as NOS. It's different than most Ebikes in that the motor is inline to the chain;
the drive is made by Panasonic.
I love my Giant, I've added an
XtraCycle kit to it, and can and do haul huge loads regularly. One of the advantages of the inline motor is the motor is able to take advantage of the bicycle hub's gears and deliver a lot of torque. It's been a tough bike that has taken a lot of hard wear.
The Suede has a hub motor. I've not ridden a Suede but have ridden other hub motor bikes. Great for sustaining speed, but not as effective of a puller.
