Interesting comment in the piece about people having years of experience liking the lighter models. I myself am quite the opposite. I started riding in 2021, no previous experience since bmx in the 80s. My one and only bike is a FF 25kg trail bike, which I have to say has been perfect for me...
Well that sucks, bad connection maybe. I hate it when you don’t find a definitive problem and the thing starts working again. Glad you’ve resolved it though 👍.
Agreed, definitely not right. Sounds like the controller and motor are not talking to each other, but they Should be able to see that in the software when they were fitted, I don’t think it’s a case of plug and play, firmware is required I believe. Only good thing I can say is that in my...
Hmm, this is an odd one. I’ve not heard or read about this type of fault before on the forum. On my bike there isn’t a noticeable difference between 4-5 on the power modes, but a definite kick between 2,3,4. The only component you haven’t changed is the motor but that doesn’t really make sense...
Hi all, considering fitting the above, just wondering if anyone has experience with the saddle on their EMTB ? It’s pitched as a road/gravel saddle, as I do long runs just thinking it maybe a good replacement for my ergon.
1, Torque- min 80nm
2, battery- min 625
3, Travel- Trails, min 130-150
4, weight- max 25kg
Not saying this is the best order, just how I’d rate it. If your mostly trail riding, don’t get hung up on weight. My bike is 25kgs, I’ve tested 22, and 19kgs bikes and didn’t feel a noticeable difference...
Got my 800wh battery upgrade from the stock 625 on the Giant Trance. Just over 300 grams difference. Not bad considering I was running a range extender at nearly 2kg 😁
I was completely new to EMTB and any form of cycling when I started 18 months ago. After much research and thought (and my lack of knowledge) I went with Giant because of the high street backup, which I have to say has been excellent. It seems nobody really makes a bad bike these days so you’ll...
I double wrapped mine and it does look crap until it’s covered with, eerm, crap. Also I’ve got the early version but did a mod with an old inner tube to protect the lower part, works a treat. 😉. Had to get the heat gun out on mine to centralise it over the tyre once fitted 👍
