I had a Giant Stance EMTB for about 3 years and really liked it. It was my first EMTB and first MTB as I took up MTB riding during covid. Never had any issues with the Yamaha motor. I recently this year upgraded to a new Trance X Advance. Both bikes are great. The Stance is running...
I ride in the east bay in N. Ca. I have for a long time rode with Assagai up front with a DHR2 rear on my Stance EMTB. I got a new Trance advanced EMTB start of summer and it came with with Minion DHF up front and dissector in the back. I really didn't like the bike much compared to my...
EMTB's are running $5k-$6k (US) right now for carbon fiber EMTB's with 85nm motors and 800w batteries. Why would you worry about $2k of parts (motor plus battery) in 5 years on a $5k bike? It would not make any kind of financial sense to spend that kind of money fixing up a 5 year old bike let...
All of that said, if you like your Maxxis tires, just order new ones on Amazon. Have your LBS mount them for you or just do it yourself. It is really easy to do, even tubeless. Or ask the LBS to order you Maxxis tires.
I am laughing my ass off only because 4 years ago I started out on a Giant Stance E+ and had a very similar experience to you on my first few rides (both as new to E-MTB and new to MTB'ing in general). For me it was a quick learning curve, just stick with it. You will be conquering that run in...
MTB Project - Will allow sanctioned trails to be added. You have to have a trail map with the trail on it and bike approved to get it on MTB Project.
Trailforks - Allows most any trails to be added.
In both cases, they are only as good as the trails added by users. If your local trails are...
I am still thinking about going to the ridecontrol EVO or ridecontrol Dash. Been doing a bit a research. To go from the Ergo 3/Ridecontrol Go to the Ego, Ergo 2, Dash or Evo you need the Y-connector to connect them to the Ridecontrol Go. Attached is a wiring diagram. Someone asked about how...
I have had a Stance EMBT and now a Trance X Advanced and in both cases I went from 36t to 34t. Most EMTB companies put a 34t on their bikes. I don't know why Giant puts a 36t on their bikes. There was little noticeable difference in high end speed (How often are you peddling that fast on a...
I would be concerned that they had a battery warranty issue on another bike over the past few years and swapped out the battery from this bike with another customers bike. The bike may be "New" but the battery may not. The alignment doesn't look bad, my Stance EMTB looks similar, it is just...
I had the Ridecontrol Ergo on my Stance and it worked really well. My new trance has the egro 3 and it is horrible. There is little to no tactile feedback that you actually pushed the button and half the time it does not register that you pushed the button. It is very difficult to push the...
I have had a stance emtb for 3 years and have loved every minute of it. I just bought a Trance advanced emtb and love it even more. The main things I wanted from the trance were: more travel on the shocks (120mm vs 150mm. Looks like the newer Stance has 140mm), more powerful motor (65nm vs...
I have the same issue in the spring. I use soccer shin guards (). They are cheap and work well and not overly hot or cumbersome. I just replace them when they get torn up. For some reason I can't post the amazon link. Search on amazon for "HiRui Soccer Shin Guards Shin Pads for Kids Youth Adult"
I have had a stance for 3+ years and loved it. You will like it a lot. I just recently upgraded to a Trance X Advanced and really like it too. I upgraded to get more travel on the shocks and it is a little be longer bike and carbon fiber.
You should consider upgrading the drive train (on...
Yea I remember my Stance updated often the first year I had it. Now it is 1 or maybe 2 times a year. I am assuming the new Trance's will get better over time too.
For Strava, look in settings for "Beacon". Set it up. For example I set it up for wife's phone number (They don't have to be a...
I have had a giant Stance EMTB for the past 3.5 years. I have loved it and had zero issues with it. I just bought a new Trance Advanced E+. The Stance I have has a 625 watt battery and 60Nm Yamaha motor. I have not had any issues with the motor or battery. I ride 2-4 times a week almost year...
Great bike, I have had a Giant Stance EMTB (60Nm motor, 625 watt battery) for 3+ years and just last month bought a Trance Advanced E+ with 85Nm motor and 800 watt battery. I love the color of the one you got and was tore between getting it or the carbon frame that I got. They are both great...
