Amiti E+
Origin
Liv launched the Amiti E+ in 2020 as the women's-specific commuter / leisure e-bike in its growing electric line-up. The 'Amiti' name (Italian for 'friends') signalled a friendlier, more approachable e-bike vs the racier Avail or the urban-only Vall — designed for women who wanted to ride longer distances and varied surfaces with electric assist. The 2023 redesign was the major leap: 75 Nm SyncDrive Sport 2 motor (up from 50 Nm), 625Wh EnergyPak Smart battery, 100mm Suntour XCM34 fork, 700x57c gravel tyres, integrated StVZO lighting. This pivoted the Amiti E+ from 'comfortable city e-bike' to 'gravel-capable e-trekking bike' positioning — Liv even tags it 'Adventure' in some regions. The 2024 lineup added the Amiti E+ Pro flagship with 85 Nm SyncDrive Pro 2 and 800Wh battery.
Specifications

- Weight
- kg
- Drivetrain
- 1× 9/10-speed — Shimano LinkGlide (e-bike-specific 10-speed) on E+ 1; 1×9 on E+ 2. Wide range, no front shift.
- Brakes
- Hydraulic disc, 180/180 mm rotors (180 mm rear chosen for ~26 kg loaded weight).
- Wheels
- Liv eX25 tubeless-ready aluminium, 32-spoke, 15×110 front / 12×148 Boost rear, e-bike duty-rated hubs.
The verdict
- Punchy 75 Nm SyncDrive Sport 2 motor — Yamaha partnership delivers natural, non-intrusive assist (vs Bosch CX's more aggressive surge)
- 625Wh battery with excellent real-world range — 80–150 km mixed commuting common, owners report 'more than enough for a working week'
- Comfortable upright Liv 3F geometry with 165mm shorter cranks — small ergonomic details add up over hours in the saddle
- Well-balanced handling — road.cc reviewer described as 'uneventful in the best sense, nothing annoying or uncomfortable'
- Practical commuter spec — integrated StVZO lights, MIK HD 30kg rack, full fenders, kickstand, trailer-mount ready, USB charging on display
- Gravel-capable — 700x57c Crosscut Gravel 2 tyres + 100mm fork open up cycle paths, towpaths, light gravel routes that pure e-city bikes can't comfortably handle
- Strong service network — Giant/Liv dealers in Tartu, Riga, Vilnius, plus pan-European Giant network for warranty
- Trailer-Mount Ready — explicitly supports child trailers (Burley etc.), important for mothers commuting with kids
- Heavy at 26 kg — awkward to lift onto car racks, up apartment stairs, or onto trains. Vall E+ is also 26kg, but it's 'expected' there; Amiti E+'s utility positioning makes the weight more noticeable when not riding.
- E+ 2's 9-speed Altus / Alivio drivetrain is the budget choice — will wear out faster under e-bike torque than the E+ 1's Shimano LinkGlide. Plan chain+cassette replacement at 3,000–4,000 km.
- No belt-drive option at this price point — rivals like Mako Shark and Specialized Como offer belt-drive at similar money. Chain maintenance (lube every 200–300 km, clean periodically) is a real chore on heavy commuter use.
- Suspension fork adds ~2 kg and limited off-road benefit — for pure tarmac commuting the rigid Vall E+ would be lighter and more efficient
- XS/S/M only — Liv has nothing in Amiti E+ family for riders <150cm or >178cm
- MSRP €2,599–4,499 is mid-pack for the category — not aggressively priced vs Cube Supreme Hybrid (alloy, Bosch, often €200–400 cheaper for equivalent spec)
- XS frame doesn't accept EnergyPak Plus 250 range extender — shortest riders can't add extended range
