    Can't get enough weight on front wheel

    Regarding forks, you need adjust the air pressure to set your sag to around 30% of the travel. Then check that you are using at least 90% of the travel on the hardest hits. If you are not using most of the travel of the fork, with correct sag, then you may need to remove a volume spacer and try...

    Giant SL, any news

    As I said, demand dictates the price.

    Giant SL, any news

    I'd love to see that, albeit with a much lower price than the Spesh. Have not heard anything but if Giant follows the $$ I wouldn't be surprised. I would likely buy one if it was done right but I would not spend any more than what my Trance E+ cost. At the end of the day, I guess it is demand...

    Soft paint? 2020 Trance E+1 pro paint chips

    Yes, for sure. My 2019 Trance E +2 even came new with a couple of chips.

    Remove speed restrictions for free

    I tried the mod on my 2019 Trance E +2 and found that to get over the limit of 20mph I had to maintain too high a cadence. So either needed to change front chain ring or peddle my ass off. Not worth the couple of mph difference IMO. Now if you are in Europe and limited to 15mph then...

    Not the bike you really want but from local shop?

    Believe me, the first time you have any problem that requires warranty work you will be glad that you purchased close by.

    Not the bike you really want but from local shop?

    Haha! That is essentially how I ended up with my Trance E+2. Bike shop is 5 minutes from me compared to 1 hour for Spesh dealer. Back then I really wanted the Spesh mainly because I like the looks better. I am glad that I chose the Giant now however, as it seems that the Levo has a fair...

    It has been discussed here Rockshox 35 stiction - EMTB Forums IMO, the damper is crap.

    REIGN E+ 1 PRO rear hub skipping in fast gear when pedalling hard

    With those low miles I would try another dealer or call Giant directly. I will say that it's not a Giant thing though, I have seen complaints of the same issue across all brands.

    REIGN E+ 1 PRO rear hub skipping in fast gear when pedalling hard

    This happened to my Trance E+2. Changed out the freehub the first time and the 11 and 13 teeth cogs the next time. Having the same issue again now. I am going to change out the cassette and chain this time. I think the torque of the e-bike is just tough on the whole drive train.

    2019 Trance E +2 Pro which replacement chain?

    Good advice. Thanks.

    2019 Trance E +2 Pro which replacement chain?

    I have an 2019 E +2 and am looking to replace the cassette due to the chain skipping off of the 11 and 13 tooth cogs. I am going to replace the chain as well and want to go with a Shimano chain that is recommended for that cassette. Has anyone replaced both cassette and chain, and if so which...

    I'll have to try mine and see as I have not ridden since the update.

    Trance E+ 3 Pro 2020 - Energypak not charging

    I have had a similar issue on mine and found that unplugging the charger from the bike and from the wall outlet for a few seconds, then plugging back in, takes care of it.
