    Giant RidControl app - understanding the power tracking

    can anyone tell me what the power analysis is actually showing on the ridecontrol app? Is it acting as a powermeter showing the amount of power being input by the rider, or is it a power usage showing the amount of battery being taken out of the battery? And if its the latter, and you have...

    Bib Shorts sizing

    Right, I'm doing this 92km road sportive on my EMTB, and I reckon that I'll be about 5 hours in the saddle. I've tried the ergon ebike saddle and finally gave up on it and yesterday went back to my trusty fizk gobi, as I can ride about an hour or so longer with that before getting sore bum...

    Lighthouse Challenge - 160km of Road Riding - low rolling resistance tyre options for an EMTB?

    I'm not a road rider, and not light enough / fit enough to do this challenge without some battery assistance, but training for it will get me fitter and hopefully lighter, and they allow ebikes anyway so why not? I'll be using my hard tail EMTB (2019 Giant Fathom E+2 Pro 29er) for this...

    Giant 2022 range - any ideas when they will be launched?

    I know that some are still waiting for 2021 bikes, but was just wondering if anyone had heard anything about Giant's 2022 range and when they will be launching? I guess I'm just jealous seeing the Levo 2022 being splashed all over the pages here. ?

    Sena communicating bike helmets

    For Christmas the wife bought me two bike helmets! One for me and one for her. now I think bike helmets are a very personal thing and I wouldn’t expect her to buy me something like that, but they have a two way communication system in them that allows you to talk to each other for up to half a...

    Kickstand for the Giant Fathom

    I'd never thought of having a kickstand on a mountain bike, even an e mountain bike.... until my wife bought an ebike with a kickstand pre-fitted ? Now when we stop for a rest somewhere or to take pictures I have to find either somewhere to rest my bike or lay it on the floor, whilst she just...

    Changing the Group set on a Fathom e+ 2 pro

    Hi Guys, I've currently got a 11-36 10 speed cassette and a 36 chain ring on my fathom. It works for all kinds of riding so mostly happy with it, the only downside (for me) is the performance on the flat or downhill when my pedal power (above 25kmph) runs out all too quickly due to the cadence...

    Giant Fathom +2 Pro - battery falling out

    Well it fell out and it has been back to the LBS to be fixed, but I'm worried that it will happen again, and I'd like some advice on how to fix it myself rather than taking the trip to the LBS. Basically I was riding up a hill and the battery stopped providing power, although the lights on the...

    3rd party range extender (piggy back) batteries for Giant 2019 bikes?

    As the new giant range extender batteries only work on 2020 bikes (or at least are not compatible on my 2019 Fathom E+2 pro), does anyone know of third party suppliers who do this for a competitive price compared to Giant?

    Tips on how to make the battery last longer?

    Its the Gran Fondo festival here at the end of the month, and we've entered the ebike category for the Medio Fondo (40 miles). Its all on road, but there is a massive climb in the middle. I rode an easy scouting trip on an approximation of the course on my giant fathom e+ 2 pro at the...

    Hello from the Isle of Man

    Hi everyone, I bought a Giant Fathom E+2 Pro 29er about a year ago and its opened up the island for me, and finally, last month the missus bought one as well and joins me on the rides. Mostly ride on rough trails, green lanes, fire roads, or just roads (going to and from trails), there are a...
