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...
My '23 reign e+ did it 3 times today in about a 15-20 min period, then rode another 2.5 hrs without issue. Mine did something though that may be different.
The first time it shut the support off, the L2 was flashing red along with all of right side leds flashing white until the bike was powered...
I would love a 45 lb full power enduro ebike!
My '23 reign e+ weighs in at 59 lbs ret to ride with a filled small water bottle.
I have a ton of fun on it, but I do refer to it quite often as the Lumbering Beast.
The issue with the yamaha motors on Giant bikes is they have a ratcheting engagement system that has 52 points of engagement.
This means that even if you have instant engagement silent hubs (I have Onyx hubs on my '23 Reign e+) the best you can obtain is 52 points of engagement and the ratchet...
I've found Alex to be extremely responsive and helpful with any questions.
Now that being said I know first hand that that wonderful little device he makes will not work in certain applications.
Does anyone have any experience on the newer tires by Continental?
The Xynotol, the Argotal or the Kryptotal?
They sure look like the type of tire I prefer.
Yep, the shop that built the bike had the cable housing kinked up pretty bad inside the seat tube each time they slide it in. In fact the outer (black) portion of the cable housing was completely skinned off in sections, I dont think they were aware that the battery needs to be removed when...
