All motors give trouble here (in boggy Lancashire)
Shimano, Bosch, Brose, Yamaha. Etc etc.
I've yet to see a broken Poilini though, but given the I've only seen two of them and I own one of those two, I hope not to see any. :-D
Very few.
Not been jetwashed either.
Not sure yet if the connector O-ring has allowed it in, if has got in via the wire grommets, if it's capillaried in through the wire itself from an outside connector or if it's got into the motor through a bearing or the vent and just corroded the power...
Keeping the water out of all the joints would be difficult with many joints, but I'm in full agreement that energy flexibility is a good thing.
The new Bosch setup, and others like it with a fixed heavy 700+ battery, doesn't appeal to me one bit.
You wouldn't complain if it just had a 630 battery with no flexibility though?
It's arrived at this design because it originally was a 500 that has had a separate 130 added quite recently, because some people want the bigger capacity. To add the extra meant making it less easy to remove, that's...
Agreed, all bikes seem to have issues, but none of the others seem to be nearly as bad as Giant. I wouldn't allow a product out of the door with so many problems, that's what prototypes are for.
Re the app, you shouldn't have to update the bike before you can see any information, that's plain...
MT7 here. They've been faultless apart from very short pad life on genuine pads, but switching to Nukeproof sintered pads fixed that. They're also better in every way, besides lasting longer.
The only other thing was that the floating disk on the rear suddenly got noisy, which in itself wasn't...
Giant should never have decided to try to develop their own firmware and software because they just aren't capable of delivering.
I've had my bike for nearly two years now and gave up hoping for a solution ages ago. My solution has been to buy a different bike, and I'll never buy a Giant...
It would be interesting to see some sort of 'hook to flat' landing in slow-mo, to see if the hydraulic bump stop reduces the rear wheel hop after landing that you always tend to see with elastic bump stops overpowering the rebound circuit from bottom out, as the energy gets released.
Good to meet you on Thursday Rob.
Can't wait to get my shiny new Mula back from the wrapper's shop next week.
With regards to the weight, I'd be very concerned about a 20kg bike with a 625 battery, full fat motor, coil shock, alloy wheels, alloy cranks and alloy bars.
The frame would have to...
I popped (!) down to try this bike on Saturday and was really impressed with it.
Unfortunately the ride was short and of limited scope, but what little I did do it felt really good, the motor and suspension in particular. Although the 'testing' of the latter was no more than pumps and road...
I brought my kids up on a farm.
We had at least 8 quads at any given time. My eldest son kept his clean after every ride.
I had to fit more new bearings into that one quad than all the rest combined.
I only wash mine very thoroughly before stripping it for a rebuild, that's the only time...
It's a nice bike, I hired one and it was a fun thing. Super smooth and quiet but the power delivery was a little 'soft' for the kind of riding I sometimes like to do, which requires immediate torque.
That said, I believe that can now be adjusted in the app.
The battery only weighs a bit over a...
