Yes you a probably right, the motor is sealed and surrounded by a plastic case. Much of what you see is not motor but covering case. There is minimal airflow through this area. As you've surmised when you stop the temperature will initially rise as that minimal airflow stops and the motor...
Hi Slowbloke.
Sorry to hear about your tale of woe.... It certainly sounds like an overheat warning, did you feel the motor? Was it physically hot? You are probably going to have to involve the Giant Dealer. There are a number of threads dealing with overheating in hot climates (not usually...
Since the motor was replaced over a year ago the bike & motor have operated faultlessly. I've probably covered another 2000km and I'm now out of warranty and contemplating the next step. The 2023 Stance is to my mind a downgrade over my model for more money so I've decided to put that money...
The original Monarch is 184mm x 44mm (Eye to Eye length x Stroke length) this is 7.25” x 1.75” in imperial measurements, so yes. Bushes will transfer fine.
I installed a Rainier Gen 3 Dropper Post & Loam Lever from PNW Components based in Seattle WA in March 2002, it's operated faultlessly for over a year and I'm very impressed with the quality. Their service was great and it came with a lifetime warranty, they shipped internationally and the kit...
I believe it is based on the new PWseries S2 (PW-S2) drive unit with a maximum torque of 75Nm that Yamaha say is 7% higher than the PWseries ST (PW-ST) used in the Stance 2021 & 2022. It weights 2.85kg against the 3.4kg of the PW-ST. As my 2 year warranty comes to an end mid-year I was...
The 2023 Stance E+2 is listed in NZ at NZ$6999, it comes with the 625Wh battery and comes with a pretty cheap and nasty SR Suntour Raidon R shock, previously this was the lower end but quality RockShox Monarch R. The front fork remains the same from previous years models with a SR Suntour XCR...
I had hoped that this thread was closed with the replacement of the battery connector back in September but unfortunately it was not to be... In mid October after 250 trouble-free kilometres the "sudden off" reoccurred. The bike went back to Giant and the motor has now been replaced.
I got...
You would think so, but basically the % remaining is just a derivative of the battery voltage. As you say, nowadays I treat 20% as the "red light warning" and 10% as the "end of the road". Typically, if I'm lucky and depending on terrain I can only hope to get another km or two at 10%. On a...
This is the typical characteristic of a Lithium-Ion battery. Discharge is not linear below 20%. Discharge will increase from 20% to 10% and then rapidly drop off from 10%. Both my 500Wh & 800Wh do exactly the same thing. A discharge graph of a Lithium-Ion battery cell looks like this:
When the wheel size in the sensor setup on your Garmin is set to "Automatic" your bike's wheel size is automatically calculated over time by using the GPS positioning and wheel rotations. Unfortunately it will take some time to work this and until it does the speed & distance will not be...
