Some interesting perspectives here on light weights. Are we saying that if a bike (any bike) comes in at around 18kg with FF motor it’s not at light weight because of the motor power ? Not provoking here just interested in your thoughts on it.🤔
I’m hoping to see a shorter chain stay and wheel base on the mullet set up to make a much more lively option with the light weight compared to the 22 trance. I would take one of these to run along side my 21 trance. The icing on the cake would be if it could take the 800 battery for the odd long run
Hi, the 800 cover will fit onto the 625 but there will be a gap because of the battery profile. Have a look at the pics in the first post showing the difference in the batteries. I don’t think this will affect the security of the battery but the cover may rattle because if the gap 🤔
I had the RE in my 21 trance. Used it once before selling it. I sold my 625 and the RE to pay for the 800. RE cons are you loose the water bottle mount and it weighs nearly 2kg. The 800 weights 300g more than a 625, and keep your bottle mount. If you sell you 5 and 625 the 800 will cost you less...
Ok, so there is a firmware update required on the bike when fitting the RE if it’s compatible. Your LBS should be able to look into your bikes software to see if this is possible to do. If so then your ok but you will have to create a mounting system for it. TBH I would look at a rack to carry...
Tbh, neither of those bikes look right for you without a fair amount of tweaking. Straight away you can see sag is not set for you. I’d give some thought to getting a bike fit done before you part with your hard earned. I had one after 12 months of buying my first ebike. Ok it was £120, but I’d...
Standard response from Giant uk, although there warranty is excellent, refunded me a 6k bike last year with a “unfamiliar issue “. As you say, not a biggie, just not as it should be. Annoying when it’s left overnight and say 86% in the morning 😩
Not an uncommon issue. Sometimes new batteries don’t go to 100% on the bike, but will off. After around 10 charges will go to 100%. Sometimes incorrect app data/charger issues give false data. Had the same issue on my 21 trance when it was new, settled down after a while, now have the same...
Hi Andy, welcome to the forum.
First thing you should know if you don’t already is make sure you get a good deal, recent discounts have made the 21/22 bikes attractive before the 23 line up hits in full with the price increases. As far as the bike goes you should have no worries, it’s a stonker...
Hi, I use the 800 on my 21 trance. Results considering the cold in the Uk at the moment have been excellent. My normal loop I do a few times a week is 40k with 680 mtrs of climbing. On the 625 in the winter I’d be left with 2 bars, on the 800 I can do the loop twice and still have 1 bar left. In...
Sounds like you need to get down the gym mate 😂
Sorry, but seriously 35k with 1300m on a 750 is crap unless your eddie hall. I’ve got a trance and used to get 100km with 1300 on a 625 in the summer. This does drop dramatically in the winter to around 60km on the same route, but you’re on a 750...
Hi, if you search for a dropper post fitting thread you should find what you need, there’s been a few discussions on this, sorry can’t help with the limiter
