You can avoid Shimano's W013 error code by keeping your feet off the pedals when switching on the motor. The pedals should not move when you turn on the motor.

I found it online. The listed weight of the sworks is 27 pounds. The comp is listed at 30 pounds. However I wrote 31-32 because I will ride the xl size. I know, they are light. The cannondale and giant, I weighted them myself.

My local giant bike store has it. It really looks nice when you see the bike in person. I think Giant decided to install a smaller battery to save on weight from 47 pounds of the 2019 model to 39 pounds of the 2020 model. Most people do not need to go over 62-65 miles which is the eco mode 2020...

Super cool picture of the kid bike! I used to be a Specialized Bike guy but now I am really starting to like Giant bikes. They are nicely priced too. Regarding the bikespeed-rs. I did 33 miles yesterday. The controller works perfectly well. I had no issues with the screen. That said, I...

Today I received the bikespeed-rs and just completed the installation. It took me 3 and half hours and I was surprised by how difficult the whole installation process was. I had 3 main problems during installation: 1. I have the 48T crankset and this ring size covers one screw. I tried...

Yes I agree. I'm thinking to get the 10-42 cassette only after installing the bikespeed. Currently, I ride my bike using the normal speed setting. I am sure I will start using the power mode after installing the bikespeed-rs.

In the US, Giant sells only very few ebikes. I looked at their European website and they have 5 times the models we have in the US.

I know about the 42T crankset listed on their website. Luckily, I got 48T. I find that 48T plus 11 cog is not enough in power mode ... speaking of cadence.

Another weird aspect is the cadence. Today, I tried and I was able to reach 110. I know some yamaha motors on the toughroad can't go above 80 or 90. Personally, when I ride naturally I never go above 80 or 90. But I'm guessing for training, some riders might like to go above that.

Small correction my current cassette is 11-42. I might end up getting a 10-42. It doesn't look like they make 10-32.

Hi, Good idea, I'll try tubeless. Do you live in the USA? Mine is a 2018 USA model with 48T. I wish my bike had 5 speed settings. I sent a message to Seabass about the bikespeed. I hope to hear from him soon. Down the road, I'm planning to replace the cassette. I have 11-40 and I think...

Hi all, Got the ToughRoad as an upgrade from my 2015 Specialized Turbo. I love the 1x system, the sram apex 1 works better than expected. The tires are nice too, they work well enough on snow, mud and ice. I find the ride to be a little harsh compared to my Specialized Turbo. I inflate my...
