R&M bike specs are not clear on their site but it looks like the R&M Charger3 rack is MIK compatible. It has the MIK mounts built into the rack. See pics. My Giant Explore rack is like that too so no additional adapter needed. I don’t think the adapters are too expensive though. Just a pain to...

Hi. At the moment all you have is a basic rack. You still need the MIK adapter for your rack to attach MIK compatible bags to.

This is one of the main reasons I do not cycle to any of the local stores or malls in our area. Either there is no bicycle parking, or if there is, it is hidden from the main entrance, or in a spot where thieves can happily take their time to cut locks and take your bike or parts of it. For...

I also have two Explore E+1 Pro bikes and have had no issues so far charging the batteries off the bikes. I I find it easier to remove the batteries so have not tried charging on the bikes. The fact that both your bikes have a charging problem makes me think the charger is bad and not...

Google found one on this site and in stock.

Agree totally. However, putting in that it was an e-bike is irrelevant to what happened. Any bike going downhill is capable of going fast.

I have the iOS version and have also found it a lot more stable and consistent. Distance is accurate and each ride has been logged and saved, and then automatically loaded to Strava. There are still a few minor issues but it seems to be improving with each update. I find that when the bike...

Welcome to the world of ebiking. I think you chose well and will really enjoy your Amiti. I’m sure your local Giant bike store would be more than happy to have your business. Safe travels. 🚴

I’m using the free version of Strava. It imports to strava which in turn exports to the iPhone health app.

Looks like you’re still on the old version. Software version for our bikes after update is 20210225000.

@Goldbug I have the same bike and the ridecontrol data exports automatically to Strava with the iOS app.

Updated our two 2021 Explore e+ 1 Pro’s today without any issues using iPhone over wifi. It did three updates to different modules on each bike as follows: 1 - Updated Smart Gateway. Very quick update. Less than 3 minutes. 2 - Updated Ridecontrol Ergo. A bit longer. About 10 minutes. 3 -...

@pjf93 . I don’t have a VOLspeed yet, but from post #4 and #7 and as per the picture below the setting circled in red is what the speed limit of the bike is from factory. In our case for Canada it must be set at 32km/h. This seems to be where many of the problems originate.

How about these from Giant? Sweet Pete’s shows possible stock of both the 2020 Fastroad and 2021 Explore. Flash cash and I’m sure you could negotiate a few hundred off the msrp. My LBS knocked $300 off an Explore Pro.

That should work. I like that it is “plastic safe” although I would still be wary of getting it on the exterior paint finish. Just in case. 😊
