    GIANT RideControl App 2.0

    Anybody get a message that states that there is an unknown system and can't update? My LBS where I bought it went out of business. THanks

    GIANT RideControl App 2.0

    Hello, I have a 2019 QUick-e I tried the new app and the error it gives me is an "unknown MCU." I have not modified it but I did try to update the firmware with the old app. Anyone else have this trouble?

    Giant e bike app- any experience with it?

    When the app first came out, I did the firmware updates with the app. Giant took out that functionality as it was bricking 2018 models if I recall. I suppose I got lucky. Take the bike to the store where you got it and they should be able to do a firmware update for you.

    Quick-E+

    I like the 28MPH limit - this bike goes pretty fast! I personally like the Schwalbe tires, but I do take it on trails. However, It does well on roads as well. Enjoy!

    From what I heard from my LBS guy is that the 2019 QuickE+ has components that are more suited to being an eBike than the 2018. I like mine and it does hills very well.

    I only got the wrench icon while using the RideControl app when it lost connection with the app.

    I am happy with this Macally aluminum holder. All metal. In addition, I got these rubber ones as an extra measure to prevent any mishaps due to bumps etc although I don't think I would need it in most cases. https://www.amazon.com/Macally-Aluminum-Handlebar-Smartphone-BIKEMOUNT/dp/B072R3RMJK...

    Giant e bike app- any experience with it?

    My first impression is that my 2019 Quick E+ is more responsive and peppier up hills. It seems to use less torque and goes a little faster - especially up the hills. Also, it seems like getting up to speed is easier as well. It's pretty easy to get to 28mph. I was out of town for a week and did...

    Giant e bike app- any experience with it?

    I updated and tested to make sure it worked but I did not do a long bike ride. I went out of town for over a week and hope to do a longer ride tomorrow. I did not change any settings though. With 5 levels of assist, it seems like they did a good job with setting initial levels. I'll report if...

    I guess I got very lucky with my 2019 Quick E+ updating so well.... I'm looking forward to some of the newer features that roll out - hopefully slowly.

    Giant e bike app- any experience with it?

    There is a serious lack of documentation..... As the website says, 2019 bikes can connect.

    Does anyone have an idea of what heart rate monitor might work with this?
