Good Morning, Ive tried contacting Giant both my local stores as well as the larger organization. Customer service is not the best to say the least. Im looking for some advice/guidance. Im looking to change my 2x to 1x and remove front derailleur on my 2020 Explore E+2 GTS. I know I need the...

wow, Keep on keepin on. Im going to enjoy my new Envo bike which I picked up last night rather than waste time on a one way conversation. I mean you must be right so lets trash a small business. Guess that makes me a shill

Well, your experience is your own but to proclaim a company is dead based your singular example is quite frankly irresponsible. This is a small Canadian company and im sure there are other brands not represented on this forum. As for my experience. Shipping amd updates are fast and regular...

They are very much still in business. If you look on the website they have dealers you can go to like cyclepath. I was able to see one in person at cyclepath in brantford Ontario. I've put in my order Tuesday, is on route by Friday. Can't comment on support or phone calls, haven't needed...

Older thread but hi from Ontario. Looking at purchasing the Envo Stax here for a commuter.

Ive been looking at the exact same bike. Also from Canada. Its a really nice looking and on paper. Reviews on Cube in general seem really good. Im looking at a few bikes tho... This Cube Specialized Turbo Vado 4.0 (cant seem to find a 5.0) The Reise and Muller Roadster Vario Zen Samurai...

Im considering an ebike with an e-14. I was getting pretty hyped about it till reading some of these threads :).. Most issues here seem to be with R&M or is that just coincidence? Im looking at a different brand. Was there ever any official fix? I wouldnt be able to go weeks without my...

In Canada... at Least where I am in Ontario there is more lack of knowledge than anything else. Even the official giant store in Toronto told.me they'd have to send my.motor away even if I just want a service tune up and internal inspection. The only time I got some attitude was when I took an...

I wasnt really sure what context this was in but I have had small bike shops that I used to take my old road bike too say they werent really sure what to do with my Giant when I was having some controller issues. I didnt really think badly of them... they were honest about there skill level...

Thank you for the comparison. Im up in Canada... no sales here unfortunately. That would be nice :)

@JayUK did you go for the IGH? If so, whats your thoughts on it.

Hi All, Im looking to upgrade from my current Giant Explore+ 2 gts. I was very much leaning towards Specialized Vado 4 or 5 specifically (the newest models, not sure about IGH yet). And as always Ive over analyzed the info available on the web and have read so many reports of failed motors on...

Just wondering if you got the bike. I'm really curious about this one and how you like it. I had heard reports thst the first version lacked a bit of power.

you arent really converting so to speak. All you are changing is the actual brake calipers. You can use the existing levers (love the integrated bell), rotors and cable. The caliper is a sealed hydraulic unit that is activated by the brake cable. Its actually a pretty easy task. Here is a...

I could never get the brakes right and even tried two local shops. Ended up changing them to cable actuated hydraulic. The redshift is awesome. I added one to mine as well as an esilk suspension post from cane creek.
