    Giant powering off repeteadly

    Update: My intermittent power issue has returned. I wonder if the battery management system (BMS) has a counter that monitors how many power interruptions occur and when it hits some threshold, starts shutting down or turning on the red LED.

    I just found a fix that worked for me. The problem had been getting worse with time, shutting down more frequently. Had gotten to the point of not being useable. I cut two squares of UHMW and applied them to the top of the battery (see picture). Problem stopped immediately and I have ridden...

They tell me that the way Giant works these repairs, is to send the shop a part to try (first one was to...

    Actually hitting 28mph

    I've owned two "Level I" Giant e-MTBs. Per documentation found online, they are supposed to start reducing assist at 19 MPH, tapering down to zero assist at 20 MPH. I suspect they use that same design philosophy for the Level III bikes. For no reason other than I like gadgets, I ride with...

    Known Issues & Problems with Giant Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    After reading some poorly translated Giant documentation that discussed avoiding getting water near the motor, I was quite concerned about moisture. Then I found Giant's video (link below) on how to wash your e-bike and was no longer concerned. The guy in the video soaks the bike pretty good...
