    Widespread Giant motor creaking problem - time for a recall?

    I guess mine isn't the same problem. My noise isn't a creaking noise - it sounds like a meat grinder. You can't hear it for blocks, but you can easily hear it from about 3 bike lengths away. I guess on the upside, people know someone is approaching from behind, but I'd rather call out "on...

    Widespread Giant motor creaking problem - time for a recall?

    I'm glad I'm not the only one. I have a Giant Road E that I bought in April 2017. It was so quiet when I bought it that nobody really knew it was an ebike. It started making noise early this year. I took it in last May and the motor was replaced. The new motor is even louder than the first...

    Giant Road E+ review and questions

    I've owned the Giant Road E for almost 2 years. I absolutely love it. I actually HAVE used the smaller front ring. Sometimes I'll ride with groups that don't go at a very fast pace. So "off" is an option. It rides very nice with the power off, despite it's weight. Going up some hills, the...

    Giant dirt e battery

    Yeah the tires are both. Went from 32 to 38 and got Schwalbe Marathons. While it's a road bike, I rode it on the Lunar Kanza - in Emporia, Kansas, home of the Dirty Kanza - and I really like riding gravel and wanted a tougher tire.

    Giant dirt e battery

    I have a Road E and the manual says to totally discharge the battery once every 3 months. I have it down to 1% but the display still lights up....is this what Giant calls "totally discharged", or should I wait until the display no longer comes on? If it's the latter, is there some way to get...

    Why no drop handlebars?

    I just bought a Giant Road E. I am 60 years old and didn't take the best care of myself over the years. I took up cycling a couple of years ago and worked my way up to doing 30 miles rides at about 13 mph. It was a goal of mine to join some group rides, but they ride about 18 mph for 50...
