What is SpeedFun REBEL?

SpeedFun RIBELLE is an electronic and smart speed unlocking device that does not require any external power supply.

It is designed for Giant Syncdrive Life-Sport-Pro 2017-18-19-20 engines to circumvent the speed block at 25 kmH allowing you to increase its active assistance up to speeds that can exceed 60 KmH (info) taking full advantage the potential of the Giant engine.

SpeedFun RIBELLE is not compatible with Giant 2021 ebike. For the device compatible with Giant 2021 ebike click here.

SpeedFun RIBELLE shows all real data on models with Ridecontrol EVO display. On models with side control Multi Switch shows the correct speed data if you connect your smartphone (Giant Ride control App).

SpeedFun RIBELLE is equipped with a self-learning system to memorize all the parameters of the ebike on which it is mounted. Therefore no setting is necessary. Just a short opening sequence and then you can only think about having fun!

Speedup RIBELLE can be mounted very simply by interposing it between the speed sensor and the motor and between the displays and the motor using original connectors that do not alter the electrical resistance and watertight characteristics.

The operating system for avoiding the number of revolutions of the rear wheel of the Ribelle comes into operation only when the 16 kmH is reached, progressively reducing with a particular algorithm the communication of the wheel revolutions to the engine without the cyclist noticing any difference in assistance. It does not intervene in any way at low speeds. This is an important precaution designed not to change the engine intervention parameters when restarting and on important climbs, (which are the critical and most delicate moments for an engine) thus leaving the parameters studied and optimized by the manufacturer intact, and thus avoiding power losses, failures or “hiccup” operations which instead occur with release systems from other manufacturers.

SpeedFun RIBELLE can be activated and deactivated with a key sequence (see here). Feedback is shown on the display, if any, whenever the on or off status is changed.

RIBELLE allows the setting of the wheel circumference from 20 “for a precise calculation of speed and mileage even if you have to replace the tire with one of a different section from the original. Normally this possibility is not offered by the original Giant system.

WARNING!
It is important to check the ebike version to avoid device incompatibility problems. Click here to check if your ebike is 2019 or 2020.
