Question for Giant Trance E+2 Pro 2020 riders, out of interest what do you have your assistance modes set at if you use the RideControl app ?
I'm asking because I've had the bike a couple of months and decided to install the app on my phone yesterday and had to do 2 updates (3-2 and 3-3)
After...
Yes, I'm finding that most of the time I'm in Eco mode too
Occasionally switch off motor for things like flat towpath sections although have accidentally switched down from Eco mode when I meant to go into Eco+ for a short steep hill and dragging that weight up a hill was pretty tough but only...
Yes actually that's a good point, I think it was mentioned that the battery can be charged 1000 times and if that means 1000 cycles it's not too bad but if it's 1000 top ups, then it wouldn't be so good
Currently I'm using my bike every morning for around 10 miles and longer rides at weekends...
Yes, thanks a lot for the advice
The bike user manual doesn't really go into the same detail as your replies, it's more like how to charge it on and off the bike and the 2 modes of charging but doesn't mention best practise for charging being top-ups rather than drain and fully charge
I'm...
Ha, thanks for that
Looks like the charger for my bike has an option to charge to 60% which is for long term storage so will do that and keep the battery indoors once the ice age rolls in
That's great thanks, good clear advice there
I'm comfortable in most weather and being from Manchester, riding in the rain and cold is a normal thing but will get into the habit of regular top up charges now
Because I'd been just doing my rides to see how long the battery would last and since...
As an update to this, I fitted the Planet3 device to my Giant Trance last night and had a test ride on it today and all seems good
There might be a slight effect on very low cadence climbing but that could be down to a low battery and cold conditions so will retest after a full recharge
Apart...
Hi,
So I bought a Giant Trance E+2 Pro about a week ago and am loving it so far
Mainly staying in Eco and Eco+ mode to preserve battery and just get used to what I can do with the bike with minimal assistance for now although have tried the other modes too
Because I'm in Eco mode a lot of the...
Got a reply from Planet3 now and their kit is compatible with my bike so have ordered one and going to give that a go
It's worth the risk as it should easily allow support up to 20mph and goes beyond that too but 15mph stock support offroad and 20mph Planet3 assist on road is enough to be...
Thanks for reply, I had looked at other tuning options such as Volspeed which sounds similar
Although I'd prefer not to pull the motor apart at the moment since the bike is brand new, it wouldn't put me off the idea completely as I do work on and rebuild normal MTBs so as long as there were...
Hi,
I'm completely new to EMTB riding although have been riding mountain bikes offroad and commuting for many years, using hardtails to start with then also mainly short to mid travel full suspension bikes mostly for trail riding and XC rather than full-on DH an definitely not freeride or...
