    Improve Wiring for lights?

    Very poor design from Giant. I had the same problem. My solution: I removed the 4 black plastic caps and the wheel, cleaned the brass holes on both sides of the fender, applied soldering paste, soldered the wires through the holes and covered with black silicone sealant. Re-Installed the wheel...

    RideControl EVO Display Questions

    Bonjour Biker Where did you get your mud guard? I ride all winter with my Explore+1 and did not find any on line. Personally, my main display on the EVO is speed. I get my ❤️ Rate on my AW from time to time and my navigation on Ride with GPS on my iPhone since all the rides on my biking club...

    Any way to adjust EVO display for different tire size?

    That could work but usually odometers are calibrated with the tire outside circumference, not the wheel diameter.

    This is true but it’s easier with the levers if you’re careful not to pinch the tube. I don’t think plastic levers could damage the rims.

    Hi Mtl biker. I installed Schwalbe Marathon Plus recommanded by my dealer. They are almost flat proof but expensive and the minimum pressure is higher than most other makes of the same size so I find them less comfortable to ride with. I still use the big original gravel tires, with tubes, when...

    Yes, unfortunately and for all recent Giant ebikes. Not only the speed but also the distance. About 5% for me when I switch the original 700/45 for 700/32. This means the assistance in this case stops at 30.5 km/h instead of 32. But the cyclometer still shows 32. Check with a GPS and compare.

    Giant Explorer +1

    I chose this ebike especially because of the 2 crank wheels. I had 3 on my previous touring bike. I like hilly roads. This setup allows 20 speeds. Most competitors only have 5 to 10. I recently tried a few MTB trails. With the fat tires, front suspension and the smallest crank wheel, it almost...

    Giant Explorer +1

    My last road bike had 3 chain wheels that I used all the time on hilly rides. The main reason for my choosing the E+1 was the 2 chain wheels. That gives me 20 speeds with the 10 sprocket cassette. I recently went camping in the Eastern Townships of Québec with 50 pounds of stuff and I probably...

    Any way to adjust EVO display for different tire size?

    Not yet. Dealer tells me not possible because owners could cheat the 32. Km/h limit by programming a smaller tire size than they actually have installed.

    Any way to adjust EVO display for different tire size?

    Same problem on my Explore. I changed the 700/45 tires for 700/32. Now the electric assistance stops at 29 (true GPS speed) km/h instead of 32. This is too slow for me. My riding friends go over 30 km/h. I can configure tire size on any cheap odometer but not on the one installed on a 4,000$...
