Is the PW3 and PWX two different motors? I just brought a 2023 reign I'm guessing its a PWX Motor, has lots of tuning adjustment. My last bike was a 2022 trance which had more basic tuning but could still adjust power in each level. Maybe they using a older control system on the Haibike

Not going to win any beauty contest, bet it rides great though. I'd buy it

A bonus with the giants, Trance or Reign all 2023 models on have a 800wh battery which is pretty decent at there price point. Note: e+3 Trance has 750wh

Cheers I mostly store with seat up.

I'm fortunate to get same discount on both 23 + 24 models, 24 is $1000 more at rrp. I'm on a super tight budget ,with cost of living and the likes effecting us. If both models cost the same probley would still go the 23. Been waiting over 8 months for the reign. I had a e+1 22 Trance , the...

https://www.giant-bicycles.com/nz/reign-eplus-1-2024 Hopefully you can see the link ok. All the 2024 have 11spd drive trains. Also my XL came with a 200mm Dropper 👍 think that's new from giant. Only just seen your post.

Finally got the 2023 e+2, did have the option of the 2024 but felt the 23 had better spec plus was cheaper

2023 Reign e+2 IN XL finally arrived after 8+ months waiting. Reused 160mm cranks from previous bike, 32mm raceface stem. Come with 200mm Dropper which was a nice bonus. Still to fit 220 hs2 rotor and carbon bars

My next bike hopefully well be a Reign e+2 if they ever get here. Mainly because its a decent price point for spec here in NZ. Wont be changing much as funds are pretty tight.

Actually doesn't make a huge, my previous bike had a speed box, I used it to commute to work(16km each way) yes if you rode everywhere in turbo you well monster the battery, quote often would have a slite tail wind you could cruise along a 35-38kph in eco or tour mode and not use much battery...

You can take up to 160wh as carry on , so some small range extenders are OK. A friend brought the trek exe range extender for this very purpose.

I run the HS2 220 , found them to be OK, one didn't bed that well ,used 2nd hand pads. Not many option for center-lock in 220mm. System weight just over 140kg(rider + bike) On a previous e-bike I tried a 223 (2mm) galfer with new finned metal pads, was a nightmare, didn't want to bed ...

Good price for sure, only have size S available. Waiting for the Reign e+2 , few more months away yate !

Wow that is a huge bump from last years model! AXS and battery being the main difference  So those 2 items add over $2000nzd from last years model 🤔

hoping they bring the e+1 to NZ, i'd pretty much buy that tomorrow if it was about $10500nzd i dont care about the colour, I'd put my xt brakes on, the rest would be fine.
