My Reign should be here in the next week, they tell me the Trance is 3 weeks out here in the US. The ones in Europe are probably going to take longer because they can only go 15.5 ?.
Yes mostly but have ridden the mountains and never needed th bigger cassette gears much at all. Mostly it’s ridden in the last four gears. Have a 38 ordered, nothing to much bigger.
My Giant Trance E and Specialized Levo both this week went from shifting and pedaling perfectly to missing shifts and then slipping badly in the smaller gears on the cassette. The Trance has Shimano and the Levo Sram. Both have roughly 1000 miles. I ordered a cheap 11/46 and 11/42 all steel...
I’m in central NC. What’s the vibe like as far as ebike’s in Pisgah and similar trails in western NC? I’d love to ride some out there but not sure what’s allowed. I’ve ridden in TN and had good feedback from the locals.
Love my 2019 Trance E. I have a little over 1000 miles and it’s been awesome. I have a Levo also and it’s had no issues either but I prefer to ride the Giant over the Levo. It has more power right off the bottom, won’t hold back nearly as much at the speed limit and handles so much better. Have...
I do really like the bike but all manufacturers could spend just a few more dollars on decent bearings and such and have so much less problems. Also there’s little or no grease on anything and the dealer doesn’t do it either pre sale. They just wait to see if any body complains and then do...
No I put a stethoscope on the shock body and it’s in there somewhere. I greased every pivot and it made no difference. I’m going to get my bike shop to hopefully replace the shock soon. I did have a noise that sounded just like cable slap at the front. Could tighten and grease the head set and...
There’s a line on the sensor that you center the magnet by. Here is a picture of mine. Got slightly loose the first day I had it, tightened and no issues since

This is good information and a place to start with talking points when communicating with local officials.
I agree with Pukmeister. Get a Trance e+2. I have the exact bike and it is awesome. I also have a 2018 Specialized Levo Comp carbon and like it also but the Giant was $2000 cheaper and will turn inside of the Levo on any type of corner and will accelerate from a dead stand still faster and...
These are 3 of my rides in the last few days. The 8 minute one is one lap at 2.3 miles and about 100 feet gain but pedaling pretty hard and on power level 4. Takes 9% battery per lap. The 56 minute one is about 250 ft gain and a very tight trail with punchy climbs but nothing big. Took 51%...
Yes the first day we had it the seat itself was creaking at the rails and I put a dab of grease on them where they mounted and fixed that and it hasn’t returned. I did have to replace the zip ties that hold the rear brake cable and speed sensor. The speed sensor wire would move out when the bike...
Thanks Willy, I have the exact bike you do. I took everything apart again today and put a different type grease on everything, linkage bolts, bearings, seat post, head set, crank arms, etc. it hasn’t changed at all. Still clicking and popping. Oh well I still like the bike, hopefully I’ll...
Had my E+2 now about 2 weeks and it has started making a creak or popping when pedaling mainly off the seat. It did have a creak in the head set but I greased and re torqued and that’s all good now but in the rear shock area it pops pretty badly. I took it completely apart and applied grease to...
