Not worth waiting for a whole year Unless you have another ride...End of the year!? Jesus.
The E+ 3 in size S was in stock on Giant's website last month and I was ready to order one and have it shipped to my LBS in 7 days, but I held off cuz my LBS told me I wouldn't get the extended warranty if I didn't buy specifically through them. But now I've been waiting and waiting with no update. I'm kinda wishing I would have just bought it from the Giant website instead. I coulda been rippin' on my Reign E+ 3 by now!!!
But my local shop Wheelworld does have a pretty impressive warranty for ebikes: 2 yrs on the computer, 5 yrs on the battery, and 10 yrs on the motor. May be worth waiting for...
