Yeah I ride a lot of uphill very narrow tight technical trails, and I also make a point to ride my analog bike once or twice a week for a proper workout. I found on those tight technical trails that overrun is not my friend.
It might make you a better e-bike rider, but I don't see it making you...
The main instance which I repeatedly run into where I need assist above 20 mph are jump lines where I'm coming into the face of the jump and I need just a little bit more to clear the gap. I step on the pedals and instead of immediate assist it feels like I'm dragging an anchor into the face of...
I hope they sort out your issue, that doesn'tsound right at all.
I have a '23 reign e+ that I enjoy very much. I will add that from my observations the 5 leds for the battery indicate as such...
5 leds = at least 80%
4 leds = at least 60%
3 leds = at least 40%
2 leds = at least 20
1 led = under...
They need to hook it up to the Giant dongle and read the report it generates on the PC.
Until then, they are playing the guessing/ wishing game while your riding with a unreliable bike.
Giant knows of this issue, the shop needs to put pressure on Giant for a solution.
X2 on shortening the bars.
Riser bars can help as well.
I ride 765 mm bars on my pedal bike, I've cut my e-bike bars with 40 mm rise down to 750 mm, made a noticeable difference on tight tech trails.
My brother just bought a new gas gas and loves it. It was a killer deal!
And two local deaIers.
On e-bikes, I have noticed they seem to beat the crap out of themselves more than the regular pedal bikes, and consequently require a bit more attention. Having a dealer nearby for repair is clutch...
In my experience, the levo is one of the more nimble handling full power e-bikes.
What types of limitations are you experiencing on the trail with the levo?
I have a '23 Yamaha motor that needed replacing at 11 months/ 400 mi. Also 2 buddies with Brose motors, one with a '23 motor that was replaced at 6mo, the other with a '22 motor replaced at 23 months.
2 other buddies ride shimano motors with no issues.
Also, Yamaha and the new bosch motors...
I'm in Texas, our regional Giant representative hinted that it was a seldom occurring known issue. From the time the bike shop hooked my bike up to the computer and read the information they immediately acknowledge the motor was bad and one week later I picked up my bike with a new motor...
How old is the bike? Is it still under warranty?
If the motor is bad and it's under warranty it needs to be replaced by giant.
If it's due to you riding in the smallest gear uphill with maximum power it still should be replaced under warranty and they should advise you to change your habits...
Ok, I picked up my bike Thursday with a new motor installed. 1 week turn around from day of diagnosis is commendable imo. I've only rode it about 1/2 mile on pavement but I immediately noticed how much quieter it was vs the original motor. It is much quieter, with no additional chafing noises or...
Less than 30 mins into a ride this past Tuesday my bike cut out and would NOT reset after powering off. I attempted to power it off and on at least 15 times, 3-4 times it would clear until I put any pressure on the pedals and then go into r2 fault.
The other times as soon as it powered on it...
So my bike has continued to cut out on various occasions. 3 days ago it cut out six times and then allowed me to finish a 2-hour ride.
I texted the owner of the bike shop what had been happening and he conveyed this from the input from Giant...
"They say we should check speed sensor and magnet...
I am also experiencing a similar issue with my 2023 giant rain e+.
It has done it on numerous different rides, where the power assist shuts off. The led display on top of the top tube consist of two rows of five LEDs. On the row to the right, all five LEDs flash and blink White. The row of LEDs...
Sant Cruz, Transition and other brands have good value pricing right now for 130mm-150mm travel ebikes.
Get one of those and ride it as often as you can, it may be one of the best decisions of your life.
I have several friends with the Shimano EP8 motor, one of them on his 3rd year of ownership. He is a hard charger on rough janky trail, he doesn't maintain crap on his bike and the motor has been totally rock solid. Zero issues I have seen, they all love their bikes. I also have two friends with...
