    2023 Giant Reign E+ flashing L2 led

    They need to hook it up to the Giant dongle and read the report it generates on the PC. Until then, they are playing the guessing/ wishing game while your riding with a unreliable bike. Giant knows of this issue, the shop needs to put pressure on Giant for a solution.

    More agile than a Turbo Levo

    X2 on shortening the bars. Riser bars can help as well. I ride 765 mm bars on my pedal bike, I've cut my e-bike bars with 40 mm rise down to 750 mm, made a noticeable difference on tight tech trails.

    Choosing an EMTB

    My brother just bought a new gas gas and loves it. It was a killer deal! And two local deaIers. On e-bikes, I have noticed they seem to beat the crap out of themselves more than the regular pedal bikes, and consequently require a bit more attention. Having a dealer nearby for repair is clutch...

    More agile than a Turbo Levo

    In my experience, the levo is one of the more nimble handling full power e-bikes. What types of limitations are you experiencing on the trail with the levo?

    2023 Giant Reign E+ flashing L2 led

    I'm in Texas, our regional Giant representative hinted that it was a seldom occurring known issue. From the time the bike shop hooked my bike up to the computer and read the information they immediately acknowledge the motor was bad and one week later I picked up my bike with a new motor...

    2023 Giant Reign E+ flashing L2 led

    How old is the bike? Is it still under warranty? If the motor is bad and it's under warranty it needs to be replaced by giant. If it's due to you riding in the smallest gear uphill with maximum power it still should be replaced under warranty and they should advise you to change your habits...

    2023 Giant Reign E+ flashing L2 led

    Ok, I picked up my bike Thursday with a new motor installed. 1 week turn around from day of diagnosis is commendable imo. I've only rode it about 1/2 mile on pavement but I immediately noticed how much quieter it was vs the original motor. It is much quieter, with no additional chafing noises or...

    2023 Giant Reign E+ flashing L2 led

    Less than 30 mins into a ride this past Tuesday my bike cut out and would NOT reset after powering off. I attempted to power it off and on at least 15 times, 3-4 times it would clear until I put any pressure on the pedals and then go into r2 fault. The other times as soon as it powered on it...

    2023 Giant Reign E+ flashing L2 led

    So my bike has continued to cut out on various occasions. 3 days ago it cut out six times and then allowed me to finish a 2-hour ride. I texted the owner of the bike shop what had been happening and he conveyed this from the input from Giant... "They say we should check speed sensor and magnet...
