With Giant recently going public on subject 'Ebike Tampering', don't be surprised if the app and updated device firmwares are collecting analytics to verify any speed derestriction device fitted. Or secondly, comparing cadence and torque outputs against battery use which could pick up speed...

Case secured with 4 x Torx screws underside. Double tab fasteners along both sides centre need leverage to unclick. White rubber gasket occupies surrounding groove. Unclip aluminium covers, 2 clips each side ends. Unclip LED daughterboard / switch. Bottom aluminium heat sink is stuck to...

The case is plastic welded on all 4 sides, no clips to simply open. Use a hobby tool (Dremel) to split the case. Caution: Lots of fine black dust particles. Internally, the circuit board is wrapped in aluminium sleeve which acts as heatsink. When you cut and the silver appears, you are...

Well worn eTrail ! You need to move that speed sensor to the crank (as above) then nobody will get near you on the track ! (Hello 40kph). Curious about the cable, wire from top tube to rear of motor, is that some mod you would like to share ?

Finally found my perfect rear rack after a 'global' search spanning months... turns out it was right in my own backyard. NZD60 from CyclingDeal. Sturdy well made aluminium frame with lift up wings either side. Perfect for carrying wide loads and offers 3 height levels for panniers. The...

Project Ten - battery upgrade. 10.4A is small these days and the battery cavity is to blame. Battery is 10S4P configuration. 10 x 3.6V = 36V / 40 cells x 2600mAH. Aluminium extrusion is (LWH) 350mm x 60mm x 70mm. Replacing 2600mAH cells with 3500mAH cells will make 14 AH battery with...

Gone Nutty - I see red. The problematic low quality poor performance Nutt brakes are finally gone ! Replaced with Shimano compatible units from JSHOU BIKE complete with front 180mm disc for NZD51 landed. Bargain. Standard Shimano / Tektro B01s pads, lines, olives , needles and pad bolts. One...

Has Reid been reading ? The 2023 model has some improvements. Bigger 14.5ah (520w) battery - hooray ! Extra 30mm suspension travel up front, an all in one display controller and finally a water bottle mount... but it's upside down under the top tube ? Is there some reason rivet nuts cannot...

The LOUD 'motor knock' is finally sorted thanks to owner in East Gippsland who had same problem. Would you believe the kick stand (WTF) ? Turns out the spring has little tension in up position, so it bangs on the mount over every bump and the vibration transferred along the frame to the left...

The supplied 2A (1.85) charger gets frightfully hot. I measured the plastic case at a blistering 57'c. I have replaced it with a 4A aluminium case charger with fan for peace of mind. The Ananda B17 battery will happily draw around 3.9-4.1A maximum which shortens a full charge from 6 hours to...

Ananda M100 speed unlock. I voided my warranty the day I opened the box so might as well share my unlocking modification to remove the nonsense 25kph Australian limit and bring the bike up to the New Zealand 32kph limit. Relocate the speed sensor from the rear wheel to the side of the motor...

25kph is nonsense when you can peddle a treadly at 30kph and still stay under the posted road limit. Tour de Force riders can average 50-60kph. It wasn't hard to remove the 25kph limit on my cheap Chinese eBike. Move the speed sensor from the wheel to the crank position. The Ananda M100...

"The bike I love to hate" (did I get a lemon ?) - 300km update. The bike has been destined to pavement riding. The rear brake caliper and lever have been ongoing issue, the front pair not far behind. The NUTT brakes are not great quality overall in materials and assembly. Air leaks continue...

The Bike: Manufacturer: Reid Model: E-Trail 2.0 Model Year: 2021 Price Paid: AUD2500 New/Used: Brand New Score (out of 10): 4 Review: Big Motor - Small Battery. Out of the (well packed) box the E-Trail 2.0 is reasonable value for money for AUD2500 and near identical to Shogun EBX5. Ananda...

Front rack to carry.... lock/helmet/groceries/gym kit/mail/beer.

18 April, 2022. Updated Version 1.14.0.1. What's New We added Polish language, and also fixed some issues in this update. I feel sorry for Polish Giant owners... looked what they have 'gained' ? At what point does Google throw an app off the Play store... current rating is 1.6 and heading south.

Giant DASH L200 2.7" GPS Computer AUD455. Ridiculous over priced bit of kit. Maybe the M200 is the ebike version and an 'optional extra'. Maybe copying Yamaha Bicycles by supplying just a computer and that's all. https://www.yamahabicycles.com/technology/display-controller-battery/

Next time I need to restore my phone from a backup I'll ring Giant. They got it all.

Dear Giant RideControl App Developer , Another epic failure with latest version roll out, hastily replaced following day with 1.13.2.0 . Could I suggest a real world beta program for future releases using the tech savvy bike riders on this forum. It is your customers who drive real innovation...

But you missed the most RELEVANT 'upgrade'... "Last but not least, we added a calories consumption and carbon reduction in your ride overview." By co-incidence the Bikonnect-Ebike app from Microprogram was updated same day, so they might be the Giant app developers after all ?
