I ride enduro/DH in the Lake Tahoe region and race tve Ca enduro series. I love my Yamaha PW3. Racing I use full boost and go as hard as possible, no problems. I ride rough and rugged singletrack using the 5 power modes and often come back with more battery than my buddies. Over 1000mi no...
Hi everyone, I just did my first ride on my new suspension and have an update. First I have a 2022 E Reign +2 with an 800 W battery that Giant replaced after I had an issue with the original 625 W. I paid an extra $280 dollars to upgrade to yve 800. I upgraded the Zeb 170 with 2022 ultimate...
Well after a lot of research I've decided to order an MRP Hazzard with a progressive spring. I'll be going over specs with the service manager tomorrow who said the have sold many of these to Giant E bike owners (the Trance as well) He also said if I want a more active feel to add more rebound...
Are you running a progressive spring? if so what brand? Rock Shox super deluxe ultimate air does not do an aftermarket tuned shock for e bikes so I'm back looking at the coil shock again. My rider weight is 180lbs, I dont purposely do big jumps I ride hard enduro style do you believe the coil...
If you can go with something other than the Bosch my money is on the Giant E Reign 3 I just helped a friend find a bike under $6000 Total Cost and taking into consideration that price range does not bring the best suspension (which can be upgraded after riding it a yr or two) the Reign 3 was an...
I agree short punchy strep climbs turbo for sure but anything technical EMBT or level 4 on my Yamaha motor. I live in Lake Tahoe and we have lots of longish chunky technical climbs of varying steepness and climbing in 4 with 5 in reserve let’s me climb without worrying about shifting so no...
what size bike do you have? I have a med and I'm torn between 155 or 150. If I keep it in high 155 will be fine but if I want to try it in low 150 makes sense but is 150 in high too short. I ride in the mountains of lake tahoe mostly enduro type riding. thoughts?
! see it as 2 options as long as the "bike" is to your liking, components etc.
1) keep the bike and upgrade the battery, this will get you another 2 yrs at least and by then the newer bikes will be far better and it will be time to start upgrading your components. then its time to buy a new bike...
Great bike, it climbs like a champ and de ends surprisingly well. I ride enduro I the mountains of Lake Tahoe and later in tbe year I do adventure ride’s definitely get the 800W battery the small amount of extra weight is not noticeable. Get the best suspension package you can it will make the...
I’m interested. I’m going with a coil this yr and 155 cranks on a medium frame with 2.6 tires front and back. I ran low setting and because of the terrain I run (Lake Tahoe mountains) I did not get a feel for yve low settings.
Rob I saw your mods for the Trek Rail project and our suspensions are very similar. I’ve already upgraded the forks to R S Ultimate and an 800w battery and bars to Deity 35/38 rise. Next up rear shock, I want to go coil but I’m concerned about replacing an air for coil. Did they design the bike...
My new +2 Reign was cutting out as I rode. It came back on only to cut off again. I took it in to my LBS and the ran a scan and found nothing but realized there was a problem. They called the Giant rep and he said without question they would replace the battery. They agreed to let me upgrade to...
Rob, I have a 2022 Giant E Reign the suspension is almost the same as a rail. I ride a lot of enduro DH tracks in Lake Tahoe and some trail riding as well. I’m not a big jump guy but the trails are overall pretty rough here. I want to upgrade rear shock to a new Rock Shox ultimate coil (as you...
I'm on my 2nd E Reign and have been very impressed with LBS service and the overall performance of the bike. I rode both bikes without upgrading anything important saving me $$. I had a problem with my new Reign, just after getting it, the motor kept shutting off randomly. It came back on but...
Great choice for your first E bike. I love mine and once you get your habits down it opens up a whole new way to enjoy the sport. I ride with mostly acoustic bikers my advice is keep it in the first 2 power modes and don’t drop them like a bad habit. They do have advantages over us when you can...
I’m a Sports therapist and w bike owner for 2 yrs. At 63 and in good shape it’s a better way to get and stay in shape. Because you can ride 4-5 days a week consistently with a 30+ mile day once a week you get in really good shape faster because of volume. The intensity is the biggest variable...
