Giant Ridecontrol One ANT+ V1.3 – Replacement Controller for 625Wh Battery & Core Motor Giant E-Bikes

The Giant Ridecontrol One ANT+ V1.3 is a replacement handlebar controller and display unit for specific Giant e-bikes equipped with a 625Wh battery and Core motor. It displays real-time speed (switchable between km/h and mph), distance, and battery status, and connects to compatible devices via ANT+. This is a direct replacement for the original Ridecontrol One unit — the controller that mounts on the handlebar and provides the rider interface for the Giant e-bike system. It is not a standalone GPS computer; it is a proprietary Giant e-bike system controller that must be compatible with your specific bike's motor and battery system.

Important — version compatibility: There are two versions of the Ridecontrol One controller with different connector types. Before purchasing, verify that this V1.3 unit is correct for your bike by either emailing your frame number to us for confirmation, or unplugging your existing controller and comparing the plug type to the product images. The alternative version (without ANT+, with USB Type-C) is also available — contact us if you are unsure which version your bike requires. This unit is compatible with Giant e-bikes using the 625Wh battery and Core motor combination — it is not compatible with other Giant motor or battery configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if this is the correct version for my bike?
There are two versions of the Ridecontrol One with different connector types. The easiest way to verify is to unplug your existing controller and compare the plug type to the product images for this listing. Alternatively, email us your bike's frame number and we can confirm compatibility before you purchase. Buying the wrong version will result in an incompatible connector.

Is this compatible with all Giant e-bikes?
No — this unit is specifically compatible with Giant e-bikes using the 625Wh battery and Core motor combination. Giant e-bikes with different motor systems (EnergyPak, SyncDrive, etc.) or different battery capacities use different controllers. Check your bike's specification or contact us with your frame number to confirm.

What does ANT+ connectivity do on this unit?
The ANT+ connection allows the Ridecontrol One to communicate with compatible ANT+ devices such as GPS computers and cycling computers that support ANT+ e-bike (LEV) profiles, enabling motor data to be displayed on a third-party head unit alongside standard cycling metrics.

Is installation straightforward?
Yes — the Ridecontrol One is a plug-and-play replacement for the original unit on compatible bikes. Unplug the existing controller from the handlebar, mount the new unit in the same position, and reconnect the cable. No specialist tools or programming are required, provided the connector type matches your bike.
