Hilleater Galiano

The refined Hilleater Galiano!

The new Galiano comes with a 52V, 16ah high current battery.(36V 17.5ah battery also available while supplies last at a discount. With 36V, the bike will reach the 32km/h legal limit, but no more, and will have about 20% less range.)

Bike Description:

Our goal with the Galiano is to offer a higher quality hub motor e-bike that is still reasonably priced.  Commuters appreciate the lower maintenance and simple dependability that come with a hub motor, but most of these bikes use lower end parts.  Assembly of key components like the wheels leave something to be desired. 

For a few hundred dollars more we offer one of the best geared hub motors available, driven by a state of the art field oriented sine wave controller, and bottom bracket torque sensor, completely outfitted for commuting, or just day to day use.

Now featuring a 52V battery, this bike has the potential for the higher speeds of an S-Pedelec when programmed for off road use.

Available in blue, red, and yellow. Green is sold out.

Key features:

• Sporty 19" one size fits most (5'5" to 6'0") aluminum diamond frame 
• 500 Watt Ezee geared hub motor. Smooth and powerful with hilleating torque.
• New! State of the art Ezee sine wave motor controller. Smooth, efficient, cool running, quiet. Designed by Ezee to match perfectly with the Ezee hub motor.

• 500C TFT color handlebar display. This small unobtrusive display has info info that you need at a glance
• 832 watt hour, 16 Amp hour 52V battery using high current Samsung 21700 40T cells. Real world range 50-80 km. (40-60 with the 36V 17.5ah battery)
• New super tough Schwalbe Pickup cargo bike tires are puncture resistant, e-bike rated tires.
• Round aluminum bash guard replaces the plastic chain guard.
• Torque sensing bottom bracket gives responsive pedal assist.
• Set up for commuting with full fenders, wired lights, heavy duty rear rack and chain guard.
• Top quality Magura MT4N-e or Tektro HD-E350 hydraulic disc brakes 180mm front and rear.
• Shimano Alivio 9 speed shifter.
• Weight 63 lb, 50 lb with battery removed.

  Top tube 532mm

We use the popular Reention removable downtube battery system, then we add premium Samsung 35 Amp battery cells. With 4 in parallel the cells are capable of delivering 140 amps, while we only draw 20 amps maximum, ensuring that the cells will stay cool, deliver great power with minimal voltage sag, and have a long life.  

The supplied charger is a quality ETL approved unit, and is fully automatic, giving a full charge in about 3-6 hours, depending on the depth of discharge.

The optional Grin Satiator charger is programmed for an 85 or 100% charge, and the option of charging at 5 amps if you are in a hurry.  The 85% charge profile will extend the life of the battery significantly if you do not need the full capacity day to day.

The motor:

We use the Ezee geared hub motor. It's a little larger than other motors typically used on a commuter e-bike, this means it will have great torque and an long life on the Galiano.

Motor features:

• Machined nylon high strength gears instead of the molded ones in most motors.
• Built to handle as much as 1100 watts continuous input power.
• The motor core has been upgraded to use 0.35mm laminations, giving higher peak efficiency and lower no load losses compared to other motors.
• Larger diameter steel axle.
• New! We now use a Higo L1019 45 amp connector on the motor instead of the more common Z910 15amp.

The Pedal Assist System

We use a bottom bracket torque sensor. It measures spindle bend from the force on the cranks and also reads the pedaling cadence at 24 pulses per revolution, twice that of most BB torque sensors. The resulting signal is combined in the operating system, and your pedal effort is amplified in the motor.

This results in a smoother, more intuitive bike biding experience.

We also provide a throttle for those times when you need a little extra boost to get moving from a standstill.

Fully set up, ready to go

  The Galiano comes ready to ride, just rotate and tighten the handlebar, attach the pedals, and install the battery. 

We use name brand accessories like:

• PC Plastics fenders
• High power LED headlight
• Spanninga LED rear light
• 2.4" Schwalbe Pickup premium puncture resistant tires.
• KMC rust resistant chain
• Upgraded Suntour XCM front fork with 100 mm travel, lock out and preload adjustment.
