What are the technical characteristics of a Granville electric bike?

All Granville electric bikes are urban bikes. You will find on most of them two frame versions: a standard version with a straight frame and an "easy entry" version, with an open frame. The latter allows for easy straddling, thanks to the absence of a top tube. This is an interesting feature if you have to get on and off your bike frequently, if you carry a child or if you wear tight clothes.

In terms of technical features, Granville electric bikes come with semi-integrated Bosch batteries (400Wh, 500Wh, or 625Wh), a Racktime rear rack, a Shimano 7-speed derailleur and a Bosch motor motor (Active Line, Active Line Plus or Performance depending on model). You'll also find tires Schwalbe tires (two wheel sizes available) and a Bosch Purion and Intivia on-board computer, so you can see at a glance your speed, battery level, distance covered and chosen riding mode.

Among the characteristics of a Granville electric bike, you will also find the presence of Granville Grand Confort handles and saddle, thought to ensure the maximum comfort to the cyclist. Finally, the geometry of the frames is particularly well thought out: it allows the user to get on the bike easily, while maintaining its maneuverability.

Which Granville electric bike to choose?

The choice of your EAB will thus be made according to your type of use (100% city or mixed) and your needs in terms of engine power and battery autonomy. These are the ones that will allow you to choose the right technical characteristics.

The visual aspect also counts a lot with Granville and will probably also determine your final preference. So if you want your ebike to stand out from the crowd, the Granville E-integrated range is the right choice. The models in this range all have a fully integrated battery and look very similar to traditional two-wheelers. Their retro design and clean lines make them very attractive urban bikes.

You won't find a Granville electric bike for women: the manufacturer designs mixed models, suitable for both men and women. However, it does offer an "easy entry" version: these are electric bikes with an open frame. They allow easy straddling thanks to the absence of a top tube. This frame geometry is often preferred by women, because it makes climbing easier, no matter what you're wearing. But it's not just a technical feature for women: men can also opt for an open frame.

Once you have chosen the right model, it is also important to choose the right size. At Granville, the frame size comes in three versions suitable for people measuring between 1.55 m and 1.90 m. To determine the most suitable size, you will also need to measure your inseam and then refer to the size chart developed by the brand.
