Don’t forget to regularly remove it and motor case to clean. Will keep it quiet.

Great!

It sure is...really tough to take the old road bike out.

I have the 2018 Giant Road-E Plus. Have had it a little over a year. Just noticed the little wrench is on the display. My lbs said to run the diagnostics from the Giant RoadControl App, which they said is basically the same test they run at the shop. I did and all is well..no errors or problems...

upper located next to the motor housing cover. Here's a pic. This is the one that quieted my chain noise.

Couldn't be easier. One allen bolt, off with the old, on with the new. And much quieter chain.

Probably the biggest gripe I read about while researching the Rocky Mountain emtb's is noise from the chain. I do now have a 2018 Altitude Powerplay Carbon 50. At first, I was put off by the noise from the drivetrain, but after about 30 minutes paid much less attention to it, and after five or...

I was hoping to hear better news on the Gain. I have the 2017 or 18 Giant Road-E (senior moment), and having ridden for decades, was initially self conscious by the obvious battery. I still ride my mountain bike (no e-power) and mtn uni (obviously no e-power) but just love the Giant. Sure, it...

That was quick! Dealer spoke with Orbea and here's what he learned. The Gain is a Class 2, not a Class 3, so the max assist will be 20 mph in the U.S. Which is kind of a bummer really. I now have a Giant that is Class 3 and up to 28mph. I didn't use it much to that speed when I first purchased...

I emailed a rep from Orbea who told me the U.S. version of the Gain models will be Class 3 and have a max assist up to 28mph. I took it with a grain of salt. Local (Los Angeles) dealer I spoke with has not yet gotten a single Gain in stock yet so isn't sure but is checking and I'll update when I...

Thanks for this review. I have the 2018 Giant Road-E+ and in the US get that max assist of 28mph which is helpful in strong winds, but for climbing, I don't use that because I ride for exercise. I definitely have my eye on the new 2019 Gain models, and may be selling the Giant to get one at some...

Ebikes are MUCH harder on the drivetrain than regular bikes. Depending on the lube you use, the distance you ride, and presuming you are shifting the same as you would on normal bike - meaning, in simplest terms, don't climb hills in the gears used for descents, you should lube the chain after...

Hi Joe. For the type of riding you describe, I would think a road bike would be best. Check out the Giant line. They have a nice range of city, road, and mountain e-bikes. Not sure your price range but they have wide range of options. I have the 2018 Road-E+ and it provides great power, weighs...

I saw a Youtube video from someone in the UK on tricking a Giant road-e bike to get the higher U.S. assisted speed, which is 28mph on my Giant. But that bike uses a different type of sensor and position. I'm really not familiar with that set-up in the Orbea hub, but think it might work by...

The 2018 Road-E+ has 5 levels of assist and 350% vs the 2017 300% of additional boost. Europe has restriction on motor to 15mph. In the U.S. it's 28mph. I believe the motor is the same, but if you are in Europe there is a "governor" that maxes out the assisted speed to 15mph. I have seen videos...
