So is the upper cup ZS44 or ZS49? I am on the 2023 Reign e+3 with the 1.8 tapered.. shouldn't the outer diameter of the cup be the same for all models though? I guess its a ZS44 then but could not disassemble as of yet. After 2.5 years of pure punishment the bike desperately needs an overhaul...
After owning the Reign E+3 for a little over 2.5 years, putting a bunch of miles and a lot of upgrades on it, I was thinking about servicing the bearings. Neither can I find any information whichs bearings I need nor do they sell any packages containing stuff for a full rebuild. I'd be ok with...

For me it definitely was. As the bike is heavy already I do not really care about some more added weight. Right now the bike is sitting at around 27kg with gravity tires, coil, heavy duty wheelset and so on in XL. It was around 25.5 before. Don't mind the weight, I am 225lbs myself.
I bought...
In a couple of months I'll have 2 years on the E+3 model. Although I only have 1600km (1000 miles) on it, here a little summary again. The low mileage is purely because I mostly ride bio bikes in the summer.
Until now no signs of frame or paint cracking. It has survived some nasty crashes in...
Hi guys,
after tormenting the poor little Reign E+ on the trails in and around Finale Ligure in Italy including a nasty crash and the need to buy new cranks, derailleur and hanger (one was bent and I switched to 160mm), I really wanted to service the whole bike, grease everything up and torque...
Surface was wet, muddy and feeling pretty tough on 50% power. I "only" have the 625Wh battery though, run a beefy hellkat up front and a heavy supergravity Schwalbe in the back plus some extra weight from coilshock / xl frame. My weight of around 220 does not help either. It feels ok range wise...
You mean those 2 25 Trox with the pin in the middle? No I haven't. Did just order a tool for those. But regarding pictures on the lock I posted above the black part does not nearly come out as far as in the picture.. maybe half as far.
I installed the newest update for the bike and after the last update I finally got a good range again. The update I had on there before drained the battery really fast. I mostly use the 2 lowest support settings. The lowest is turned down to 50%, the second 125%. Before the newest update I...
I have only checked on top where the lock is. As you said. When the locking mechanism is not spot on, I can move the battery quite a bit left to right. On the lower end at the connector it seems fine. The mechanism on top itself is bolted on tight. I think it is just the lock itself. If you...
Small run down of my issues with the bike (Reign E+3) after around 1500km. Not riding it all that often in good weather, I am more on the bio bike.
- Battery rattling in the down tube. The lock seems to be loose. Sometimes it works, sometimes it rattles. Stuffed some moto foam besides the...
I switched the HighRoller to a BigBetty SuperGravity with Soft rubber compound, which was still too much "party in the back" for my liking. Now on a Kenda Hellcat in 2.6 with the heaviest casing (gravity), which has a nice supersoft rubber compound. While the grip is superb now in the back at...
Another thing I found to be somewhat bad designed is the ditch on the lower damper bolt.. water, dirt and mud will just fall in there and cant go anywhere.. Besides the noises it really does ride fantastic. I have a Forbidden Dreadnought as a bio bike and both bikes feel totally different which...
Been riding the bike for a while now after the issue with the control unit at the start. Flawlessly at least concerning the motor.
Negatives:
- The batterycover tends to make funny noises between the plastic and the frame.
- The front wheel hubs bearing adjustment nuts keep getting loose (ok...
Got the first ride in yesterday. About 16kilometers and 620meters vertical.. Most of those were pushing my son up the hills on dynamic or max support mode.
Drained battery about 40% which is good I think. Would add up to around 40km and 1500 vertical.
Motor seems punchy but seems to like...
And another information concerning the problems with software/hardware. It seems I have actually fixed the issue for now.
While working I was thinking abolut trying out the other input for the handlebar remote on the cable of the ControlGO unit. Did not work. Then for whatever reason I switched...
Another headsup concerning the Ridecontrol Go Unit. Was able to swap the Ridecontrol Ergo 1 SG unit from a friends bike over to mine. The unit is a standalone while the Ridecontrol Go unit seems to only function with the handlebar remote as a team.
After switching it works flawlessly. Can switch...
It is not as easy as that. Well basically it is, sure. The bike is leased by my work, but I "bought" it from a shop , that is quite a bit away. They have some strange rules with bike leasing and where you bring the bike to. I can of course bring it to the dealer I bought it from, which is a 5...
