Could Giant be up for a class action?

[Regular_Michael]

I'm still not convinced that Giant secretly came out and disabled your bike. Is that what you think they did? How did they get into your garage? Did you leave the door unlocked? Do they have ninjas that can walk through walls? Or is this a matter of your bike failing after you made unauthorized modifications? I suspect the latter, as you haven't really stated all the facts that led to your unfortunate predicament. I've learned that when people leave out important details, they're usually trying to conceal the truth.

Do you hope that the courts compel manufacturers to write software that is compatible with every half-baked hack that every cowboy dreams up? I really don't think that's going to happen.

Full disclosure - My bike is running an NLS Speedie mechanical override and has had zero issues after 8 months of hard riding. I have also never updated my bikes software.

Please read the full content of this post - majority of issues occurred post software updated where Giant is locking the motor if they believe tampering has occurred. This is the key issue.

Although there have been some reported cases of ninja operatives scalping walls in my area of late.

Thanks, have a nice day.

Your bike runs perfectly, but you want to sue Giant because they broke your bike. Clearly, there are still omissions in this story.

I’m doing gods work - for other people my guy. I have no intention to go after Giant, like I said my bike runs fine. You can believe what you like, it’s a free world after all.

Another great example of why I love the internet right here.

Have a nice day.

My bike has many modifications but I’ve never felt the need to de restrict the motor, it’s fast enough, so I’m ok with the “don’t touch the motor” approach. However, are Giant saying if I change my handle bars this equates to tampering? The following passage suggests this, so clarification is required as to what constitutes “any form of tampering”.

“Because our bikes are designed and produced as they are, we cannot guarantee the correct functionality of the bike and its components after tampering has occurred. Therefore, any form of tampering automatically voids the warranty on all E-bikes and components within Giant, Liv, and Momentum brands.”

I think if you void your warranty by fitting a more comfortable saddle Giants dealers will have some issues.

Tampering means derestricting.
