    Two bikes, one with Kiox and Connect and the other with Smart System and Flow

    Manufacturers are running forward constantly to keep up with technology, often times leaving the "old" behind as orphans and that sucks. For the last 15 years (since the iPhone) I’ve recorded all my rides using different apps on regular bikes & now e-mtbs. My solution is to export everything...

    Reign E+ 2022

    I have the exact same issue, charging to less than 100%, ever blinking green light, latest firmware. Reign E+2 2022, 625wh. I also charged to 100% with battery removed from the bike but the problem came back once again charging on the bike. 🫤

    Help please

    Here’s my take, Amazon rear light fixed to my small toolbag. The toolbag is mounted upside down so it doesn’t interfere with the dropper post. 👍

    Yamaha is THE Leader by the millions!

    I think Yamaha e-bike motors were only part of Giant and Haibike back in 2019, Yamaha moro didn't exist (I think). I've only had one type of e-bikes with Syncdrive Pro motors (Yamaha) so I can't really compare but power delivery is very smooth, good at low cadence and motor is reliable. 👍 And...

    Reign E+ 2022

    Yes, my toughts exactly, Canadian S-Works Turbo Levo is now priced at $15,000 down from $18,999 ! I doubt very much that whoever can afford it is that same person who really needs it …? 🤔

    Trance X E+ Elite: 2023 vs 2024

    Yeah, seems the Reign E+ is going to wait another year before mega change... Which is ok I guess given that liter e-enduros are going through transition phase right now...

    Reign E+ 2022

    Frankly I’d rather keep my Reign E+2 (2022) one more year than see a half baked new Reign E+ come out… Giant will undoubdetly refine their geometry & e-system components to stay as a top tier brand, Yamaha will most likely increase power to compete with newer dji & Bosch. I have 4,300km on my...

    Help Needed: Giant 2021 Trance E+ Dead After Bending Pin

    I don't think this bike can be unlocked for speed without voiding warranty... May be different for Europe?

    Great news! Any help from the local Giant retail shop?

    Trance E+ 3 randomly provides no assist while climbing hills

    Yep, cadence is the key, no matter which motor you have... All class 1 e-bikes need a good cadence to produce power & torque

    Lightweight (SL) long travel EMTB

    Specialized and Giant will most likely refresh their offerings this fall... Probably worth the wait to see.

    Wanting to go to full suspension.

    I would take the Giant Reign E+(1,2,3) for a quick test... There are many manufacturer's bike options that will all be around 22-25kg with plenty of power. You will love this... Enjoy!

    Trance E+ 3 randomly provides no assist while climbing hills

    The Giant (Yamaha) motor will provide assistance even at low cadence on the flat using any assist level, but it needs a good rhythm when going uphill. Have you tried +/- 80 RPM when climbing?

    Help Needed: Giant 2021 Trance E+ Dead After Bending Pin

    Well, Giant is not a direct to consumer brand and they do support a network of retailers that should (usually) be trained on their products. The net value for the retailer, even if you didn’t buy the bike there, is most likely you will end up buying some parts from them and probably be one...

    Help Needed: Giant 2021 Trance E+ Dead After Bending Pin

    Blinking green is the correct behaviour when charging. Sorry to hear you're having trouble, is there not a local Giant dealer that could help?

    Trance X E+ Elite: 2023 vs 2024

    I think 2025 will be the year of big changes for the Reign E, not so much the Trance E... My 2 cents.

    what do I not know that I need to?

    Great bike, congratulations! Just go outside and ride it until you can't anymore, then sleep well and start again the next day! Enjoy! You will love this. 👍

    Looking to buy my first EMTB - help me find it!

    I would value a similar geometry to what you already like, local support would also be on my list. Good shopping and welcome to the dark side. 😄
