I still have some questions but well explained, thanks.I didn't plan to use it 100% of the time, but days when I go mostly to jump, or when I go out alone and I don't want to go slow and boring. hehee For the calculation that you mention, would it matter what mode I go in or would it not matter? I read that on the climbs if the planet3 gave some problem, that's why it has 2 magnets instead of one and reduces x1.5 instead of x3Because the systems look for abnormalities. By monitoring speed, cadence, rider input and motor output it doesn't take long to compute that constant peak power outputs whilst 'only' doing 15.5mph doesn't make sense.
You are right in a way, you could be using peak power whilst climbing a hill at 15mph but at some point you gotta come down again (using very little power and usually a high speed) so the two sorta cancel each other out and therefore the bike is happy. It takes time for the bike to average out the data, which is why error codes usually take time to flag up.
The only time you may be using peak power and 15.5mph constantly is if you are say towing something. IIRC this exact scenario came up on this forum where a rider (with a restricted bike) was given a bit of an interrogation by the LBS when he took it for a service as they suspected he had been using a dongle.
I weigh 90kg and I usually trace a friend who rides a muscular bike, both on the road and in the bike park. I have never had any errors if a significant battery consumption. heheeI still have some questions but well explained, thanks.I didn't plan to use it 100% of the time, but days when I go mostly to jump, or when I go out alone and I don't want to go slow and boring. hehee For the calculation that you mention, would it matter what mode I go in or would it not matter?

Nice ! Does the Giant Ride control show your actual speed ? ThanksStill no records were broken. But... this thing flies . 380 meters in the air just during hour and a half ride outside my home. Cool stuff.

Tuning works .

Hmmm that is nice but… wouldn’t that enable Giant to see that you have derestricted your ride when you get service ?
Totally agree, just enjoy the ride that’s what it’s there for. Servicing meh…..I did the same with Bosch. The Bosch gen 4 chips do "compensating" in the end. So the average speed and usage visible during service is "normal". I serviced the Bosch gen 4 bike and never did I have any problems. I don't know what kind of shenanigans VOLSpeed does to trick the Giant Yamaha motor though. So going to the Giant service maybe will be the part of the "long term" review .
But... As far as I know the speed that is registered by the motor is nowhere close to what WE see. The information that goes to Giant Ride control app or Garmin or whatever doesn't come from the motor. There is a Bluetooth unit outside the motor ('ve seen it with mi own eys). So my guestimation is that the motor sees "good" speed and the "real" speed is what's sent further. But I will be more than happy to listen to someone who really knows how it all works has to say.
I will take the risk because I honestly don't care that much. This rare smile on my face is much more important to me . And I hope that community will profit too . BTW. The maker of VOLSpeed told me that they tested the system for more than 1200km now. Works. They are quite popular here in Germany so I decided to add a bit of trust to my calculation if I want to install this thing or not.
This rare smile on my face is much more important to me .
Is that rare smile based on the default speed or did you put it up to max? Thinking of taking the plunge with this, same reasons, lots of flat forest trails here where the limiter is spoiling the fun for me.
So after setting up my Reign e+1 exactly how I like it and starting to really build my confidence, I managed to hit a tree and break my shoulder.
I can vouch for the build quality of the bike though, a hell of an impact and the only (bike) damage was a slightly cracked front fender and the bars out of alignment.
A few months out of the saddle now, which I am gutted about, but will be back stronger than before in time for the summer.
In the meantime please continue to post your trail pics so I can see what I am missing.
That looks utterly beautiful! I also love how the top tube and rear stay are pretty much a perfect line. What size?My pal picked up his reign +3 today love the colour i get my +2 hopefully at the weekend

Very cool and clever design.
I do not have a 3D printer and don’t know anybody owning one.
Would you consider printing me one and ship it to me? Of course I’m gonna pay for it!
Did my first ride yesterday and had a blast, this is a game changer. Now I just need to set up the suspension.

Is anyone having issues with there Code RSC’s?? On their Reign E+0??
Both the front and rear callipers a on my bike aren’t equal. Both pistons on the same side of each calliper are pushing out about half way and the other side hardly any movement at all…
Anyone bought a rubber plug for the hole in the top tube for getting the battery out? Plus my bike is full axs and would like to bring up the hole near the rear shock that cables would normally go through. Any ideas?
I also saw on the Canadian site it went up $300 about a couple weeks ago.Heads up for those of you who have decided to buy the bike and are postponing it:
Yesterday I paid a deposit for the +2, one of the last bikes available where I live (Greece). Price here is 5,700 euros and my LBS said they were told by the manufacturer that next batch of bikes will be +300 euros costlier !!
Other LBS say the same thing about other brands too, starting next week or the week after that, all bikes will get more expensive, with new official pricelists coming in from factories all over.
Yup. I bought a 2021 Stance in Jan 2021. Two weeks later it was $200 more. Now it's $300 more again, so $500 more in 1 year.I also saw on the Canadian site it went up $300 about a couple weeks ago.
