Momentum, a brand focused on urban transportation solutions, announced the release of the Vida E+ EX on July 14, 2026. This fully equipped E-bike builds upon the 2025 Vida E+ model, incorporating new features designed to improve comfort, safety, and utility for city riders.
“Our goal in launching the new Vida E+ EX is to make urban riding easier and more fun,” said An Le, global marketing director of Giant Group, which includes the Momentum brand. “We focused on the features that matter most for everyday cyclists: a natural-feeling ride, all-day comfort, confidence in traffic and a practical utility design that helps people ride more often and enjoy every mile.”
Performance and Technology
The Vida E+ EX is powered by the SyncDrive Move S motor, providing 500W of power and 60Nm of torque. The system utilizes speed, torque, and cadence sensor data to provide intuitive pedal assistance, allowing riders to reach speeds of up to 28 mph. New features include a Cruise Mode for maintaining speed during long stretches and an optional 0-Start throttle, which enables acceleration from a complete stop without pedaling.
The bike is equipped with an Energy 700 battery, offering an estimated range of 40 to 55 miles in pedal-assist mode and 31 to 43 miles in throttle-assist mode. The included 3A fast charger can bring the battery to a full charge in 6 hours and 10 minutes.
Comfort and Safety Features
To enhance rider comfort, the bike features an 80mm suspension fork, a plush saddle, and a travel-adjustable dropper seatpost. It utilizes an ALUXX aluminum frame with a low step-through design for easier mounting and dismounting. Safety features include UL 2849 certification, integrated front and rear lights with brake signals, and a braking system with four front and two rear pistons that automatically disengage motor support when activated.
The bike also includes the RideControl Dash Core, an LCD interface that tracks mileage and assist levels, and the RideControl app, which allows users to lock and unlock motor support via a digital E-Lock.
Utility and Availability
Designed for daily cargo needs, the Vida E+ EX features an integrated MIK-compatible rear rack with a total bike load capacity of up to 300 pounds. It can support 33 pounds on a front rack and 55 pounds on the rear rack. The model is available in four colors: Caramel Cinnamon, Abyss Black, Mountain Air, and Pale Olive. Owners have access to professional service through Giant Group’s North American dealer network.
