    Please Help Me Find An e-Bike With The Following Requirements

    Hi, I'm in Europe and I'm looking for such an e-bike, but cannot find it: - Yamaha motor (I tried Bosch 2 years ago but found it too noisy) - Not a chain but a belt drive - 27.5 wheels or smaller - At least 700Wh battery - As light as possible The e-bike I have now (Giant Explore E+ with 800Wh)...

    Noise on Explore 2023

    I tried the brakes but the noise remains. It's a high-pitched noise consisting of 2 very close noises. The slower the speed, the better I can hear that the noise contains 2 "sub-noises". What suprises me is that there no noise when I push the bike and walk beside it...

    Quietest motor?

    My experience is this: I wanted to buy a Riese & Müller ebike with a Bosch 85Nm motor, I tested it but the motor was too loud (and high pitched) for my taste. I tested a Giant Explore 2023 with an 85Nm motor and it was much quieter, in fact more than the Bosch 65Nm motor.

    Noise on Explore 2023

    Hi, My Explore E+ is new but I hear a regular noise on each turn of the wheel, on the rear wheel I think, it's not loud at all but I can hear it in the countryside when it's quiet and the bike is in slow speed. If I stop pedalling the noise is still there. If I'm not in the bike and push it...

    What bags for a 2023 Explore?

    What bags for a 2023 Explore?

    Oh OK! Does it really stay put and does not slide downwards?

    What bags for a 2023 Explore?

    Hi, I've just bought that ebike and have 2 back panniers from my former bike I can install on the rear rack. The problem is I cannot install front panniers (no attachment) or a handlebar bag because of the position of the front light. What other bags could be installed on that ebike? The...

    800Wh battery available in Canada now...

    Giant themselves give the list of compatible bikes with the 800Wh battery. Why not offer those models with the choice for the customer?

    800Wh battery available in Canada now...

    I need long range. 500Wh is not enough for my need. 625Wh I'm not sure.

    800Wh battery available in Canada now...

    If I could buy the Explore E+ 1 with the 800Mh battery instead of the 625 one, I'd buy it immediately.

    800Wh battery available in Canada now...

    It puzzles me that Giant do not offer that new battery on their compatible e-bikes from factory... That would make selling those products easier.
