The Giant Explore E+ 3 is a premium electric trekking bike designed to bridge the gap between daily commuting and long-distance touring. Built on a Gen 4 ALUXX aluminum frameset, it features a stable and comfortable geometry tailored for "all-road" conditions, including paved streets, gravel paths, and light dirt trails.
This model is powered by the SyncDrive Sport 2 motor, providing 75Nm of torque for a smooth, natural-feeling assist even on steep inclines. It is equipped with a high-capacity 625Wh EnergyPak Smart battery, which is cleanly integrated into the downtube and supports the optional EnergyPak Plus range extender. Modern safety and tech features are central to this build, including a full-color RideDash EVO 2.0 display with on-board navigation, Apple Find My integration for tracking, and the Aegis safety suite featuring an e-lock and tire pressure monitoring.
