It's Large. Sadly the problem with bottle cage is inherited because of SX Coil which takes more space and since they are using same frame for SX and E+ we have that pickle to solve :)
Good choice :) I ride almost 50km through deep woods every day since I got it. Previously I had to finish at 25 with my knee hurting. No issue with that beast and i always have 20% battery left.
Let us know you like it once you get it!
Ok, so the first thing you need is not usual bottle cage. Most of the bottle cages I tried to start quite high reducing already small bottle clearance.
From my experience the best you can get is:

I did and washed from mud after. All water "flows" through the bike. Instead of making it waterproof they constructed it like the gutter.
Nothing beside some bell and other stuff which is useless but required by regulations.
It's heavy because it also contains bottom part of the frame I guess...
I would say first 10 on Eco and rest was mixed with last 10 done full on the turbo (250).
I had it tuned on the first day so my 1st gear is 50% of 360 and I'm using it I would say 30% of the time.
2nd gear I set for 125% and it's my main gear :D Use if for climbing/bumpy flats/trails.
3rd one...
Based on what I was able to find Specialized is super sexy but they had to put those batteries very close together and those cells don't like to be hot as it's affecting their lifetime. Giant put extra space between them to prolong their lifespan. Not sure how big a difference that actually...
I was considering Levo too but ratio price/perks was not good enough for me. Then I read the warranty on battery on Specialized models and Giant. Take a look for yourself and decided if you want better looks on thin downtube or much better cell life.
I have it set up with the app and it works...
Go for it! Definitely worth the money. I was expecting it to ride like a Trance but I have to say in regards to downhill it's much closer in behavior to Reign and I love it!
My bike clean without pedals is 23,7 kg size L yet for some reason it's easier for me to pull the front up than on my...
Yeah...their ebikes look cool and they ride nice....to the point where your RVS suspension link breaks. It's a very common problem for those bikes not even e ones. Obviously, they replace it but I had a friend who wasn't able to ride his bike for months as his link in suspension broke 4 times...
I lived in Krakow for 27 years but I moved to Gdansk for about 2 years ago. I love the sea :)
When I moved I noticed that all trails in Gdansk on Trailforks don't have videos and pictures, so I started recording all trails that I ride and uploaded them.
If you ever visit Gdansk and not sure...
Thanks for in deep explanation @MattyB. My guess was that Giant works with Panasonic in regards to the battery design or how BMS handles charging and balancing. Warranty on Giant and Specialized batteries are drastically different (at least in PL) and estimated lifetime on Spec is about half of...
Yes, they do. They tune engine and battery. I can't tell in regards of the battery and the range but I had a chance to ride on normal Yamaha PWX on Haibike vs my Sync Drive and difference was very noticeable. Engagement on normal Yamaha was much more hectic and it tends to provide way more power...
Today I went as far as 115 rpm and it felt great. No power drops or any noticeable difference. I tried the same on eco which should support up to 110 and I felt a small power loss.
So I would say that Giant says the truth on their website. You get up to 110 on first 2 ECO modes and 120 on the...
For some reason Giant doesn't tell you "we will deliver your bike x". They will provide you with a specific week at which they aim.
So i placed my order on 35th week which is 4th week of August and got my bike on 39th which is last week of September.
So if you order new bike in Poland now your...
Just got mine E+ 2 days ago. It's an absolutely amazing machine. Tested Levos too and decided to go for Giant.
I also ordered 180 mm shaft for my Fox 36 so I'm going to make it even more aggressive than SX with the angle around 65.5
For people asking about delivery times. I ordered mine at 35...
Don't go for stance. There is a massive difference between those models. I tested Stance and E and decided to go for E 2. Engine difference is massive in every possible way including responsiveness and "feel".
