Hmm, yes, need to think about Newton’s “action and reaction are equal and opposite”. Or I’ll follow your advice and just get some more practice. I’ll try pre-loading more and play around with the timings. Cheers guys :)
Went to Wind Hill bike park today. I have to say it was excellent, really enjoyed it. Must have got 30-40 runs in. So before I start, I have to say I’m more of a fast flowing bermy single track kind of guy as opposed to jumper, I don’t mind a little air but I’m not comfortable with big ones...
6’1 ft, ride a large. It fits me ok, if anything I would say a tiny bit small. My wife often rides it and she is 5’10 and it fits her fine. In fact, my 5’6 13 year old son can fit on it with the saddle right down and keeps trying to borrow it. But it’s definitely too big for him!
Mine did exactly the same, turned off and wouldn’t come back on. I swore at it a lot, cursed Giant. Decided I’d removed the battery completely but couldn’t find my key. Went inside for about 30 mins - 1 hour, ate lunch grumpily, found key, went back out, decided to try turning it on one last...
All very interesting stuff. Have you got a view on the difference in battery range between the 2019 and the 2021 with the bigger battery? I sometimes run low on battery when out on a 3 hour plus rides on my 2019 trance.
Overall it doesn’t sound like the new Trance X is a step up from the...
That was what I was doing previously so I was a bit disappointed when mine reported 85% health. I will go back to that routine and only discharge once every month or two.
Completely charged then completely discharged my battery today (rode around in sport, could get used to that :D). Took the battery off the bike and charged it directly via a smart plug. It took about 4 hours to fully charge, consumed 520wh of power doing so (not sure how much the charger...
Tried the new app today and it worked fine for me as well. Had a map and all the expected functionality. It is a little temperamental about connecting to the bike though, sometimes I have to restart the app.
Cheers everyone for the feedback. I will try a full discharge/charge and see how much charge it takes. I did go on a long ride the other day in very muddy conditions. Flattened the battery pretty much, was down to 2 dots. Then on the last (thankfully) hill it went to one dot, 30 seconds later...
Updated to the new app today (was using an old version which worked before but then stopped earlier this week). Anyway, I was a little surprised to see my battery health only reporting as 85%. Bike is a 2019 Trance e+ 2. It’s had 29 charge cycles according to the app. What galls me is that I’ve...
Stop it! You’re making me want one and I can’t afford it :( Unless someone wants to buy one of my kidneys?:unsure: Full working order, one owner, quite a few miles on the clock though...
I think anywhere between -20C and 25C is fine. I had a PHEV car and didn’t really have much choice about storage in low temps :D Big reduction in range on the PHEV in the cold though, even when I left the heater off so I guess the same applies to emtbs. Ideal storage I believe is about 15C...
The fitting for the crank arm is different to my other bikes (hollow tech 2) and I’m not sure how to remove it to get access to the chain ring? Any dummies guide would be great :) Also, what tools will I need? There appears to be some sort of locking ring on it?
I bought my 2019 Giant Trance e+2 for £2700 in a sale this time last year and I still thought it was extortionate at the time. Quite fancy a new bike now but the prices are just horrendous.
My brother also really wants an e-mtb but just can’t afford one :(
You could try the sale of goods act and claim it’s not fit for purpose. But that would be a claim against the shop and not giant themselves. I had to use that argument when my free hub went after 3 months. Good luck!
I’ve been searching the web and this forum but can’t find the info I’m after. I know there are only car parks there but I plan on turning up before 8am and then riding as long as my 500wh battery lasts. Does anyone know if the car park is locked overnight? If so when does it open and close...
