Lucky you have an excellent lbs that sells/services Giant eBikes. Anything on the Giant website you can order from that lbs. They may even offer a better deal.

Some members will mention that the 400wh battery will not be big enough but if you seriously travel 40 miles roundtrips that's not correct. I have a Explore e+4 and I have no problems getting 55+ miles (rural Maine) but that depends a lot on terrain and which power mode you use. In Eco mode on...

Is that Talon a 2021 model John t? Please don’t tell me that’s the new 2021.

I haven't seen one OFFICIAL word concerning a new RideControl app to this date. Nothing other than rumors. Not a single Giant authorize announcement. (You can't mean that attempt to con people attributed to Giant Germany, what ever the heck that's supposed to be.) Please feel free to hold your...

If everything is the same then why did Giant change the sending unit? As I mentioned earlier it's more than just to improve waterproofing. It appears to me that the ANT+/BLE specifications changed slightly in Giant's 2020 RideControl One and in 2021 RideControl EGO sending units.. That's why...

That's a sad story about Specialized but the big takeaway is that they went thru extortionary efforts to make thing right. . A new RideControl app may not be backward compatible at all but you can pretty much guarantee it won't be as fully functional without the brand new RideControl EGO...

If there's a Giant Dealership close by I wouldn't be embarrassed to take a Giant eBike in for service. Even Walmart is doing sales online. A warrantee is by the company not by the LBS. It's the company Giant that pays for the work to be done. I guess I have higher expectations from...

I haven't seen much in reliability comparisons between SynDrive (Yamaha) motors compared to Bosch Performance Line, Brose Drive S, Shimano EP8 or TQ . It would fascinating to view real data to back up an assertion that SyncDrive is unbreakable or more reliable than others.

As the new 2021 eBikes come to market people are browsing eBike forums looking for recommendations. Here's my recommendation to others looking at Giant eBikes. If you feel functioning software is an important component in eBikes then go elsewhere, check out other brands!. Giant simply not a...

My Explore E+ 4 developed a low frequency buzz sound that's most noticeable when I pedal with mid-level torque. When it was brand new I heard nothing but within a couple hundred miles a barely perceptible buzz has been the norm. For me it's an acceptable level and it doesn't distract from the...

It's too bad that the Giant firmware can't be downgraded because I would go back to version RideControl 1.4.2 and be happy. I wouldn't be surprised to see any new Giant App fully function only with the latest versions of the RideControl EGO/EVO sending units (2021). Doesn't EGO have slightly...

I’ll wait for version 2.0

Are we next going to watch the dropping ball? I guess this underground info sounds exciting but I'm a bit skeptical.

My biggest issue with Giant revolves around the much hyped and marketed AUTO mode. I agree a primary benefit of eBikes is the pedal assist that make you believe that everything is by your own power. It's the thrill of effortless storming up a hill in AUTO. The "ride home" has a whole different...

Well I have of lot to suspect other than the BT chip but that's hardly informative.. Technology should be seamless. This isn't the 70s. People don't pay big money for an iPhone just so that they can reliably make phone calls. If I wanted an analogue bike I wouldn't have I purchased a eBike...

It's typical for apps to include a README type file that provides info on the software updates, changes and fixes. Giant's application team rarely include info concerning such details. Just another example of how inexperienced and unprofessional Giant's software development team is. I do feel...

A think a number of riders feel that they will be able to protect their heads if they dump it. No they can't. My experience is the ground works like a magnet and your head is just a big iron ball ready to smash into it. I ride both motorcycles and bikes and a universal rule of biking is: " If...

No way would giant deliver bigger brakes on back of a eBike. That's insane. I have a 2020 Explore E+ and it's 180 Front and 160 back as expected.
