    2019 Giant Trance E MTB +1 Pro dropper seatI have a 2019 Trance E +1 Pro still under guarantee.

    I have a 2019 Trance E +1 Pro still under guarantee. Took it in to the LBS with what I consider excess play in the seat post. LBS bike shop owner agreed and said the bushes were worn and can't get the parts in NZ. To replace would be in excess of NZD$300 (USD$200). I'm no expert but would have...

    Simon Cowells eBike revealed

    I don't understand why some enjoy some other buggers misfortune, especially when it involves bodily injury. Having said that, I'm sure Simon has had to put up with many envious critics over the years of his success. Hope you have a quick recovery Simon, and you're back in the saddle soon! (Bike...

    Ebike eating chains

    I must be as thick as pig shit, but then again at 74 I wasn't exactly born into the computer age. I have created an album with the magpie video (mp4). How do I embed it into my reply? Keep it simple please. You are dealing with a technical dinosaur!

    Ebike eating chains

    Yep, you can see in the video this Magpie killing speed and striking with its chest. Obviously using its claws as well. All so quick. I have tried to upload my video but not having a lot of success. Will keep trying.

    My Specialized Levo eats chains

    Can't believe the prices. You are getting ripped off. NZD $292.88 for a new Sram original cassette and chain two months ago. Come and live in NZ.

    My Specialized Levo eats chains

    I've ridden my 2019 Giant MTB e +1 pro for 18 months/5000 km. Have just replaced my Sram cassette/chain and disc brake pads which I could have run longer. And I thought I was hard done by!!!!!!! My rides consist of anything from grade 1 to grade 3, with a bit of flat river track riding to get...

    Giant Trance E+ 2019 Battery Alignment

    Your dealer is fobbing you off. Take it back and ask him to adjust it correctly. IMO your dealer needs to lift his customer services. We pay enough for our Giant's, and deserve good customer service.

    Giant battery issue / short range

    Anyone serious MTB'er who rides without a good helmet to prevent head injuries, has a death wish. The only thing I can think of is you are not very experienced, and/or you only ride learner tracks. Even so, statistics show many e-bike crashes happen at slow speed or when you are stopping or...

    Ebike eating chains

    Last October (NZ) in nesting season, I was attacked every time I rode solo past trees bordering a vineyard. One day I reversed my helmet cam around, and was really surprised how this Magpie was able to strike the back of my helmet 6 times in rapid succession. Drew blood. Amazing ability in...

    Giant Trance E+3 2019 is 'Toast'

    I am on my 3rd RideControlOne handlebar unit, after a year on my 2019 Trance +1 pro MTB. Dealer replaced at no cost commenting Giant have had a lot of problems with these units. There is no way water got in to my RideControlOne units, so I suspect it is a manufacturing problem. Not good enough.,

    Giant trance e+ 2019 range.

    Something seriously wrong there Mickey, unless you are dragging an anchor and chain behind you. I get around 60 kilometres ( just under 40 miles) riding hilly farm country and at times using level 3 and sometimes level 4 on a really steep climb. I weight 90 Kg (198 pound) Your dealer should...
