    Full face or convertible helmet

    Without wishing to insult you, that is dumb thinking. Last week our group had finished our ride on an MTB Park, and were heading back for coffee riding on a tarsealed road. While turning right at a minor 'T' intersection, one rider touched the rear wheel on an MTB in front of him resulting in...

    Is falling off a new emtb always going to happen?

    I feel for you!!! Pedal strikes have caused the majority of my 'offs'. Mostly while under power on a steep, rocky' climb, when you can't stop pedalling. My reaction times have slowed down with age, so while my brain is telling me to alter course to avoid a rock, my body is too slow to react...

    getting started on a steep incline

    I know how you feel! I was involved in contact sport ( rugby) since I was 5 years old. Then kept fit through running and later golf. At 76 YOA I should not take risks, but when I get on my e-mtb I still think I am a teenager. My son who is a roadie and a mtb'er, laughs when I tell him not to...

    Giant Ride Control Dash 2022

    Thanks for that tip. I have just purchased the 130 online. May have to fit a cadence sensor to the pedal, but getting the HRM working is the main objective

    How much battery do you need on your next emtb?

    Just bought a 2022 Giant Trance X +1 e-MTB to replace my 2019 Giant Trance +1 Pro e-mtb. New Giant is fitted with a 750wh Battery with the option of a 250wh extender. I am excited because I can now enter the next Molesworth Muster MTB race which is roughly 80 km through rugged South Island high...

    My first eBike purchase - Giant TRANCE X E+ 1

    Poor workmanship and/or poor design is never acceptable. The shop you purchased your Giant from is Giant's agent, and therefore responsible for seeing things are put right for you. It's the 'putting right' that counts. My LBS has several Specialized owners of far more expensive MTBs than ours...

    My first eBike purchase - Giant TRANCE X E+ 1

    Hang in there mate, the LBS we bought our identical bikes off, don't want bad publicity. Firm but friendly does the trick normally. I presume you spoke to the manager?

    Giant Ride Control Dash 2022

    Had considered that, but cannot take eyes off the track to look at watch. Centre-mounted over-the-front large display needed for these 76 year old eyes. Lol

    Thanks. I'll have a look at that if I can't get any joy out of Giant stockists.

    Giant Ride Control Dash 2022

    Thanks, pity there is so much confusion over this issue, as it takes a little of the excitement away from the thrill of a new e-mtb.

    I don't know about the rest of the world, but I am having problems finding an email address for Giant Customer Service in NZ. I need help!!!!! My new 2022 Giant Trance X e +1 Pro has a top tube control (Ride Control Go) Left Handlebar grip has Ride Control Ergo 3. I wish to know which is the...

    Small discovery…

    It is recommended to charge to 60% if you aren't going to use your e-mtb for a while (storage purposes). My e--golf trundler is the same. Unless you aren't going to use your e-mtb for a while, full charge every time for peace of mind.

    The 2022 Giant Trance E+ rear stay length. It is an issue?

    Doesn't look an awful lot different from my 2019 Giant Trance +1 Pro apart from wheel size!! Still waiting for my Giant Trance X +1 (M), and my LBS told me yesterday it has been put back until Week 30 which is somewhere around the end of July!! I am gutted. Jeez Trev, I am 76 and in all...
