The Giant eBike battery system is said to be the safest on the market, also boasting some incredible longevity numbers such as 2300 cycles before there's any drop in charging potential. Giant say you can drive a car over it or full submerge it, and it'll be absolutely fine. So we're out today to test this theory... let's go swimming!

Of course, don't try this at home! There are a lot more components and nuances to all of our individual e-bikes which don't love to be fully submerged in water. Let us show you for demonstrative purposes so that if you do come to that river crossing, you can make a sensible decision based on your ability and the terrain. And whilst the battery is rated for 10 tonnes of pressure, we won't be making a habit of purposefully driving over it!
