I've noted before that a lot of E-bike freshmen owners experience "range anxiety" . I did. With experience that anxiety dissipates but it's understandable because you could misjudge and peddling a heavy bike home isn't fun. I don't run out of gas in my my car nor do I push the battery use when...

First thing i did after purchasing my Explore E+ was replace the Giant stock tires. I had two flats the first three times I took my new bike out. Been running Schwalbes for the last six months with no problems.

Even if a compatible motor was available totally free, I still wouldn't do it, unless your last name is Wright . (like in Wright Bros.)

Thank you for the confirmation. FlatSix911.

I have a 2020 Explore E+ 4 and the back wheel has magnet on spokes with the pickup unit on the back wheel strut. Doesn't that indicate the "standard" setup and not a integrated speed sensors?

Explore offered a Pro model this year but unfortunately it doesn't ship to US, Just the Explore E+2 and E+4. New 2021 Models??? Info, Pics and details please!

Wow Stefan, great job documenting and pointing out the simple complexity! Absolutely convinced me that I DO NOT want to mess with installing any type of speed box. I'll probably go with the magnet option before attempting eBike heart surgery. Congratulation and you owe your bother a case of his...

I believe it’s Yamaha hardware, Giant software. The firmware probably has some overlap but it’s mostly mapped and tuned by Giant. That’s common perception, I think.

My experience is if you stay away for the two highest assists modes on the Yamaha Sport motor I get 70+ miles on smooth surface. That further than I need travel on all but very rare occurrence. For a Pro motor that's excellent results Buckdubay.

One huge difference between the Quick E+ and the FastRoad E+ EX is the FastRoad has the Yamaha Pro motor and the Quick has the Sport.

I know that a number of experienced riders find saving weight an oppression. I guess that why the high profit eBikes manufacturers are going with lighter and modest batteries on their premier units.

The newest version appears to be the best one for me but I may see a slight change in battery level with version 1.4.5 . Up till now I was confident I could get 65+ miles on one charge in normal local terrain but that's not Mtn. eBiking. Mostly paved road, maintained dirt/woods trails and...

Well shut the front door! Giant is going to up's it's game and replace RideControl. Hopefully sometime soon but 1.4.5 seems to be working fine for now.

Good luck Stefan. Respect the "this is what I want and this is how I'm going to do" vision.

I did the Update to version 1.4.5 on my Explore E+ 4 2020 and after 10 mins I'm feeling a much, much improved Auto mode. (Mainly because ver. 1.4.2 broke it) Also my quick seat of the pants-o-meter feels better response in all five modes with 3rd and 4th power levels feeling noticeably...

From the Google App store on version 1.4.5 integrated e-bike app RideControl e-bike app The world of connectivity opens up for your Giant E-bike with the launch of our RideControl E-bike App. This new app makes it possible to connect your phone with your E-bike. It differentiates itself from...

Hope it's a translation glitch. It's a good sign that Giant continues to improve the RideControl app and address firmware fixes but not confident the right group of people are working on software resolutions. They have a worldwide market and must be working on numerous issues with reduced staff...

Well before I had any time to check out Giant's RideControl Version 1.4.4 app there's a newer version (1.4.5 ) released. Don't know much but looks like an improved navigation screen. That would be welcome if usable! I'll check it out tomorrow. A summary of the app is on the Play Store where...

That is ultimate coolness. Congrats!

A new version of Giant's Ride Control (version 1.4.4 ) App is available for Android to upgrade e-Bike firmware. I installed it with no problems but no idea what if any changes have been make . Typical Giant Corp. customer communication style.
