I have always liked the saying “you don’t see bikers lined up outside the psychiatrist’s office!” When you put your helmet on and take off on your motorcycle there is an effect on your senses that is, frankly, incredible.

I find, especially when I’m riding out of town down some two lane road, that I get this calming warm feeling that everything in my world is OK. It is hard to describe this sensation, but it is wonderful. I’m sure many of you know exactly what I’m talking about. We ride for lots of reasons, but this one benefit is like a drug. I really pity those who have never ridden because they will never know these sensations.

So, especially now through these tumultuous times, your need to calm your mind is great. That means get out and ride!
Giant's 2021 Stance E+ 1 E-Mountain Bike
is an Affordable Trail-Taming Machine
Sure, electric mountain bikes are wonderful and all but usually out of most people's price range. Better yet, some of them won’t even be used to the fullest of their abilities unless you’re a hardcore rider or even a sponsored one. After all, not everyone has ten grand or more for a name brand
e-MTB.

Luckily for us, one of the world’s best known bicycle manufacturers, Giant, has understood this too. So for 2021, once quarantine regulations have been lifted, the team will be waiting to offer you an e-MTB that is accessible to the common man.

It’s called the Stance E+ 1. Aside from being boasted for its climbing and descending abilities, this bike comes in with an accessible $4,400 MSRP, just in line with the new Harley-D's that have just hit the U.S. market. But Harley-Davidson just cranked out a line of urban e-bikes, and this is no urban e-bike.

From the start, we are given an advantage over other bikes within its price range just based on the suspension components, something urban bikes rarely include. However, if we were to judge this bike based on its ability to conquer the concrete jungle, which is not to say that it cannot, we would be embarking upon something of a sacrilege in the biking world.
