Reign E+ 2022

[Trickz]

Was it a 2022 model? I pre-ordered it but after more than a year of waiting I still haven't received a confirmation

Yes it was on that bike factory site and it was a large with £300 off..strange as the xl,medium were out of stock first

My first proper ride

Giant reign 2022 e2

On the latest fw. Charging issue Seems solved Charged to 100% no issues after this ride previous outings it wouldn't go past 80% without power cycling charge

How do those usages look considering I was in tour 95% of the time also all my tunable options are on the lowest assistance settings

I am 120kg bikes likely 26kg

Any suspension tips?.

Noticed your average cadence is 48rpm. Soecialized has said that for their motors to operate efficiently its best to have a cadence of 75 rpm or more. Giant has not said anything that I have seen, but most likely the concept applies at least to some degree. Hope that helps out and congrats on your new bike.

With a high cadence, the Giant's engine makes a strong whine. I've mentioned it a few times and it's a really annoying.. Most of the group probably drives with a lower cadence when they don't notice this whining.

Another annoying thing is the pedals hitting the ground.. I would like to change to shorter cranks. Has anyone changed the crank to a shorter one and which model?

Before you spend money muke sure you have got your technique dialed ;-)

Has anyone tried some shorter cranks on their '22 or '23 yamaha px3 motor?

Looking to get some shorter crank arms for my '23 reign e+2. Anyone tried this and what did you use?

And sag set correctly, my shock was also blowing through the travel due to cavitation. Much less prone to pedal strikes since a proper service.

I can confirm that.
After my damper has received a big service at Fox he is much more active.

Well took the metapower to webuycycle this morning and drooled over the stock they have..while there got a call saying my reign is lost in the post!

The sag is adjusted correctly. It may be that my shock needs to be serviced. The shock has cavitated since new, always at the beginning of the ride. Here in Finland, fox shock maintenance can take several months..

I'm going to do oil change myself. I have a vacuum pump so that's not a problem.

I changed to Miranda 150mm Love the bike with them on, i did put a 34T chainring on over the 36T to compensate for the torque difference on cranks.

First Ride after the software update power Dropped from 17% to 4% in about 2 minutes of riding not had the bike out again hoping its a 1 off.

 

[Trickz]

Is the shock stroke 65mm on the reign 2022?no spacers? Just checking for when I get it

Well, it's no secret that the first and last 10 percent of lithium batteries are not very good.
And without sharing temperature, assist level, elevation etc. your statement is pretty useless.

It was the ride back to the car park, temperature was same as rest of the ride assist was Auto and its NOT the last 10% issue as it was 17% as per the post Im familiar with the 10% faster drain this was a sudden drop as per the graph

My Average is often around 40 because i'm not pedalling when i ride downhill and my Garmin does not take this in to account, I have quite a high pedalling cadence often around 90 but average is similar to Calum.

So dpd have lost the bikemight be a 2023 model after all!

 

[Trickz]

Guys bike turned up but there is dent on the rear triangle..the paint is intact though.

 

[trailaddict]

Bad paint job?
Anyway, I wouldn't accept or only with a very high discount

Yea shown photos and waiting for response,idk what dpd had dropped on it..the box looked ok apart from a puncture just where the dent is…I can’t blame cjperformance either as every inch of the bike was covered in foam tube,it was even double boxed with a liv box inside over the frame and back wheel..I think next time I will drive to wherever to pick up as nothing is safe with disrespectful delivery firms.

Hey guys, been gone for a while...winter here. Got some news that maybe interesting.

1. Been following the Giant ebike Fb group and recently there was a guy from AU with a 2022 Trance E+ saying he had a warranty claim refused as the motor software picked up his derestricting device(volspeed) showing in the service tool software as an event code 6A. So just giving anyone a heads up ✌ and if maybe someone had any similar experience that would be good to know for all of us.



2. Also a few minutes ago There was/is a post in the same group about a new Giant Ridecontrol app update that is supposed to add a lot of new functionality to the owners of ebikes with the Syncdrive Pro 2 motor(2022 onwards). Haven't had a chance to try that out for myself.


Cheers guys ✌

 

[jeanmarc]

Yep, app update is available in Canada. Won't be able to try for another month though, still winter here

 

[Redlemon]

Installed the update and it's working, you can now tune torque, launch power & ETC, very nice.

Can you post some pictures of new settings for torque?

thanks

Awsome that's great news. I am actually really surprised about it, didn't expect from Giant to throw something like this out at us✌

I had to reinstall the app to get these new settings to appear!!! So if you don't see, reinstall.

Hi, I received yesterday new Reign and noticed unsealed hole where speed sensor cable comes out from the motor and enters to rear triangle. Is this normal or missing the seal?

 

[big_scot_nanny]

made me go look! Yes, same on mine. Hasn't caused any problems... yet!

Yep, same here... I think (hope) it is meant to drain out from another opening at bottom, back of the crank...
