    ETA for 2020 Giant E-bikes

    I won't be doing a review or pictures anytime soon. Riding Thursday night, I tired to take out a tree. The tree won. My whole right side is phukked up (knee, elbow, forehead) but the real killer is my ribs. I guess my elbow got pushed into my side and either a cracked or a bruised rib. One...

    Correct. I called them when I was ordering my bike, and they said that is the right dimensions for the rear shock spring. That's what I have reserved in a 650lb from WorldWide.

    Hello from Southern California.

    Nice bike! And welcome. People and their insecurities...luckily, I haven't encountered any e-bike hate yet here in Huntsville, AL, but when I do (I'm sure it's coming) I just plan to ignore them. I rode analogue mtn bikes for the last 12 years, and just recently got my first e-bike. I'm done...

    Is your ebike bigger/smaller than your pedal ride?

    Umm, 180 front, 170 rear...it's pretty big travel!

    Is your ebike bigger/smaller than your pedal ride?

    When I ordered my 2020 Commencal Meta SX, I matched up the numbers to my size large 2016 Transition Suppressor. Their medium was the closest, so I ordered that size. Glad I did, it fits like a glove. Just need to swap out the rear shock spring to something appropriate to my weight (on order).

    One critique of this bike that I'm kinda bummed about. The steering has a lock. The bars only rotate about 45° and then hit a lock. We have some really tight switchbacks around here where on my Transition, I may have the bar at 90° while I kinda trackstand around the turn. I guess it's due to...

    Our local mountain has about 60 miles worth of trails. There isn't a single loop we do, we just sort of ride around hitting various spots. I don't know about how much elevation (alot) but the ride we did Tuesday night ended up being about 13 miles and we were out for just over 2 hours. The...

    What I'm loving about the e-bike is getting to the top of a long, gnarly climb that would usually leave me drained and exhausted with no energy to enjoy the downhill properly. Now, since the climb is so much easier and I arrive at the top fresh, and, the climb was actually enjoyable for a...

    I'm new to e-bikes, but I can tell you about my battery experience after about eight rides now. My first two rides, I pretty much kept it in boost the whole time. I learned pretty quick that that equates to about an hour and half of ride time, max, here in Huntsville which has pretty steep...

    Good to know, thanks! Not sure where the 5 turns came from. Foggy memory @ 57 years old.

    Actually, I just checked thier site. A large comes with a 400 pound spring. I beleive the general rule is, if it is still too sagged after 5 full turns of the preload, you need a heavier spring.

    Yeah, you don't adjust sag on a coil by cranking the spring down, you adjust sag by increasing or decreasing the spring (change the spring to a heavier/lighter spring) as needed. At your weight, you might find the stock spring on the large, which I believe is a 450, may be just right for you.

    What will make a real differnece in the ride, is that 650 pound spring. C'mon, WorldWide!!
