Review: The Giant Twist Freedom DX Electric Bike

In today's review, Jackson Lynch takes a look at the Twist Freedom DX electric bike. These contraptions are interesting, mostly becuase they don't quite fall into the bike column (electric motor) but they don't have enough power to warrant that riders have a motorcycle license . For the most part, these vehicles tend to be a bit of a joke among serious cyclists. That was until our own Jackson (who is as hardcore of a cyclist as they come) rode Giant's Twist Freedom DX. Here's what he had to say about the vehicle:

For modern aesthetes, aspiring eco-enthusiastic commuters and folks who crave the fun of biking riding without doing much work, Giant's Twist
Freedom DX hits the mark. A true hybrid, the Twist has no throttle. It relies on both pedal power and an unobtrusive, yet sturdy 300-watt motor to set you on your way. If you don't pedal, there's no power and that's just the way Giant (one of the world's, ahem, giant bikemakers)
thinks it ought to be. And having built a 125,000-square-foot factory dedicated solely to developing and manufacturing its own pedal-assist bikes, the company's commitment to the technology cannot be denied.
