Lighter!
I certainly don’t need more power. Pretty rare I ever use the full force of the yammy motor.
More range would be nice, but to have the bike lose a few kegs would be ideal.
My wife complains about this the most, and fair enough. She weighs a little under 50 kilos and her LIV is...
Yes, this is what I was talking about in the original comment. A motor and ‘gearbox’ all in one. With no derailleur, just a rear sprocket attatched to a front, driving sprocket that spins at different speeds in relation to the cranks, according to the ‘gear’ it is in.
Could be set to a desired...
Apart from the obvious (lighter, stronger/smaller motor, increased range, etc). What do you hope to see from new ebikes in the future.
One thing I am expecting before too long is an electronic shift. Not like the Shimano Di2 but more like the Bosch system where one turn of the crank is 2.5...
I love my E+1 Pro. The battery just seems to last and last. Never run it flat despite trying. I pretty rarely use anything but the bottom two settings though.
Overall no issue with the display, although it can be a little tricky to see which lights are on at a glance in full sunlight.
So I’ve bent my rear rotor. I’ve ‘fixed’ it so it’s rideable but still a long way from perfect. It’s probably easily repairable by any mechanic with a proper trueing stand.
Trouble is, my wife and I are leaving for a trip to Victoria to ride the trails around Forrest, pretty much straight...
Won’t fit with a bottle in there.
Used some grip tape and put it on the top tube. Not ideal for standover but far less likely to kill me, so that’s a bonus.
I had a top tube bag, but it's too small/doesn't stay in place with that much weight. However, I don't usually keep too much in it, so at this stage it looks like I'll be ditching the bag and putting the lock there.
Haha, so it look like the people have spoken!
"I'm just surprised anyone would trust leaving their (I assume from the fork) £5k Ebike locked anywhere in public"
"Don't ride it to the cafe/shops. Unless you like in a crime free utopia."
Adelaide is a pretty nice place. There are shitty areas of...
They're pretty good factory. Lots of people don't like the seat but it's no worse than what was on my Cube prior he Giant so I haven't bothered swapping yet.
You'll probably want to get a side access bottle cage though.
So I recently bought a new lock for my bike (Bordo 6000 alarm). It’s good but I hate carrying a backpack and have run out of space on my bike.
So can I attach it to my fork?
Before you reply, know that I probably will never have it on the bike on trails but only when riding around town or to...
I doubt we’ll see it. The money for the R&D just simply isn’t there. There the cash is being spent is on making batteries higher capacity and lower weight. Essentially batteries will just keep improving until the point where regen is a non-issue.
Wife and I did a ~30km ride on the weekend. LOTS of climbing. Still came home with around 40% charge. Talk to Giant. Something wrong there.
If you get a chance. Use the app to record your next ride before taking it in.
