My Giant Revive happens to be my favorite ebike conversion I've done, its a semi-recumbent, not a great bike without the hub motor but once I added a front hub motor and 18Ah of batteries its a lot of fun, One thing I that should be mentioned, a torque arm is really important for operator safety, and hub motors should never be installed on aluminum or suspension forks! I would highly recommend converting a Giant Revive. Mine is a first generation with funky wheels and an enclosed chain with a 7 speed internal hub. I'm looking for a newer Revive so I can create a 2 wheel drive version. The batteries are 8 Bosch 36volt lithium manganese oxide tool packs, (4 in each rear side bag) with a 22 Amp controller. The kit was purchased from ebikekit.com. The conversion is about a year old and has been modified and fine tuned, it has a range of +20 miles.
Im sorry I was not able to post a link or pictures of my Revive.
I hope this was helpful

Steve
