Haters can get lost, honestly. I don't feel I need to justify anything as common and popular. Talking about it helping older or unfit people is still in excuse territory. Young people almost ALL lust after eMTBs.
It gets pretty hot in Australia and staying cool is an important element of outdoor life. Also, skin cancer is rife. At 63kg I am far from fat and even on an eMTB, sun protection without overheating is a much discussed topic. Sun cream has its limits.

Wow, you didn't check the bike really after the crash, watch out!
I also found the OG tyres on my Kenevo sketchy, in wet conditions, and swapped them long before they wore out. They were ok in dry conditions.
Thanks, does your new one have an ANT logo on it? The sources I've seen say only the controllers with the logo have ANT, but mine does not, even though it is a new bike.
I don't have anything with ANT on to test it and nor does anyone I know, plus we are in a Covid lockdown here with a 5km...
My new 2021 Trance E+ 2 does not have an ANT sticker on it, as i saw older ones had to have, but does anyone know if it will work with ANT devices anyway?
I got the 2 as the blue is amazing and the bike is still nicely specced. The 1 has a few nice pieces, but the 2 offers a really solid set of kit and has the same motor, battery, frame etc. I upgraded the brakes to XT but the ones it comes with (equal to 4 pot Deore) are almost the same in...
There is a long thread on the Giant app problems here:

I won't dare try and update my Trance E+ 2 now in case it bricks the bike.
Giant don't answer my emails about...
Picked up the 2 this month, it was going for AU$7 300 in my LBS, the 1 had some nice features but not enough to justify the extra cost for me and the blue colour really impressed. I've put XT levers on but am finding the 4-piston MT520 calipers staggeringly good, easily beating 2-piston XTs...
