    2019 Giant E bikes. Sizing.

    Wow that is tall, surprised the medium felt better. I did try a medium and I probably could have got on with it but I was sold when I tried the XL. I have put my seat all the way back and it feels like it should be a bit further back still, have you changed the seat? The standard one seems a...

    New Bikes!! Trance e+1 & e+3

    That was exactly my thinking for getting the two giants. The wife loved the green e+3, and I must admit the colour looks amazing in the sunlight. I did my 36km (total) commute along cycle paths today for the first time, couple of big hills, I was in maximum power the whole time, and it used...

    2019 Giant E bikes. Sizing.

    So it seems the 2019 Trance E+ range from Giant is slightly smaller than what you would expect. Eg. an XL feels like a L I am 6'5" so I had no choice but to go for an XL, but I have read a lot about people having to go for one size up compared to what they are used to. Best bet is to demo one...

    Hacking ! Why ?

    Does anyone know if the BadAssEbikes dongle that clips over the sensor at the back of the bike and can be easliy removed in a few seconds can be detected by the manufactures?

    Hacking ! Why ?

    I see road bikers doing 50kph on a regular basis and nobody blinks a legal eye at them, even when they are doing these sort of speeds in congested areas and footpaths. If people want to hack their bikes to get assistance up to around 45/50kph then I dont see any difference to the roadies doing...

    New Bikes!! Trance e+1 & e+3

    Yeah I will try edit the post tomorrow on the laptop. It came down to the Giant and the Mederida 900 for me, the integrated battery on the Giant really couldn't be ignored. I haven't try any other motors but I am really enjoying the Yamaha, you definitely notice the noise but the instant...

    Quick ride this afternoon

    Glad the shop is looking after you, still a bit of a pain in the arse im sure, hopefully it's not a reoccurring issue.

    Looks great Poppy! Out of interest what were the teething problems you experienced with the bike? I pick mine up on Saturday so interested to know what issues you have had so I can look out for them.

    Deposit down on E+ 1 & E+ 3

    Ah sorry, it's going to be a medium. Ashgrove cycles have a medium e+1 to demo if you needed to test one out, I think small will be hard to find in the wild

    Hello from Brisbane, Australia

    Cool I will do the rounds on Saturday and see what each shop says about price. If you don’t mind me asking what did you end up paying for yours? I’m 6ft5 so will definitely want the XL, by the sounds of it I might be on a waiting list if they don’t have any in stock. Where about so you ride...
