Micah's video makes a lot of sense, and his points on overvolting a motor is analogous to another hobby of mine - home audio, and specifically driving woofers in speakers/subs - woofers have motors just like e-bikes, they just don't rotate. Woofer drivers are never specified for voltage, but...

so glad I live in Brisbane (Australia), where it's "starting" to cool off...although Feb is likely to kick in a few more hot days before the end of summer here in the southern hemisphere... ...I asked a LBS that was in the process of building a new e-bike which connectors they put dielectric...

loving my Giant Revolt e-bike. It's the first Giant and first e-bike I've owned, but my wife has a Giant mountain bike, and I've always considered Giant bicycles to be excellent "bang for buck" compared to other brands like Specialized, Canyon etc at each price point...ie for a particular spec...

that's stealth 👍 - where's the motor/battery? understood - cheers👍 Before I bought my mid drive Giant Revolt I looked first at rear hub drive bikes primarily to avoid all the motor torque going through the chain...but none of the hub drives I tried had anything like the torque/assist that mid...

My sister just bought the same bike as mine (Giant Revolt E+ pro) in a medium frame - looking forward to some rides with my sis' 👍 Mike

or when overtaking another cyclist...hitting the 25km/h wall as you pass is quite scary...

This Speedbox video shows significant work for the install on a Giant - no crank removal, undoing the chain ring apparently provides access, but still requires getting lots of stuff off to swing the motor down for the install: From my perspective, still a difficult install. @Stefan Mikes -...

that's a great heads up! - cheers 👍 , and is the clincher. Moving the speed sensor to the crank just became harder (requiring a security Torx)...and I like the way the BAB can be removed in seconds... Mike

What a great ride - loving this bike (Giant Revolt e+ Pro 2020). I’ve been consistently commuting to work by bicycle for the last 15 years or so, but over the last 5 it has become a chore, whereas I used to look forward to it. The e-bike has made it fun again! It’s been years since I just took...

Yeah I hit the 25km/hr limit constantly. I wouldn’t want to de-restrict if the limit here was the same as say California Cheers Mike

@Stefan Mikes - great thread! and you're lucky to have your brother to help/do the install - it looked like a nightmare! It makes the BadAss4 appear sooo much easier, and fortunately my e-bike has the old school spoke magnet 👍 @Kal's post changed the goal posts a bit A vast difference between...

Cloudy this morning, but chose to risk it for the commute in to work...unfortunately my shiny new machine got a little wet/dirty :( ...but having disc brakes is sooo much better than the rim brakes on my acoustic. Just amazing acceleration off the line - didn't stop in the right gear? no...

Light rain forecast all day :( Still think I’ll ride though

picked my 2020 Revolt up this afternoon - my first e-bike A great ride home - plenty of boost up the hills. Quite a stiff headwind which would have been hard work on my acoustic, but became a cooling breeze on the e-bike. No brick wall cutout at 25km/h - still some boost just over...but when...

Picked up my shiny new Giant Revolt E+ bike today :) Great ride home - a bunch of the usual Brisbane hills. Shocker headwind for a long stretch - on my acoustic it would have been awful - on the e-bike it was just a nicer breeze! I've been riding around our steep home street for 5 years (14%)...

pretty sure I've got a timer plug somewhere, will dig it out - certainly a good option they look good also cheers guys!

Glad you enjoyed what you experienced of Queensland/Australia! I reckon so...just haven't got it yet :( ...it's waiting at the shop for next pay day (mid Feb)... ...thinking 1st extra will be a power supply that can selectively charge less than 100% to look after the battery, and 2nd extra...

I would agree - e-bikes have been selling like hot cakes, so the chances of a Jan 2020 build Revolt E+ Pro being on the floor of a bike shop in Jan 2021 is pretty slim...with none available from Giant (Australia) anymore I had to search for a Brisbane shop that had an XL in stock. Deposit was...

I've subsequently learned (through responses to my introduction thread https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/new-member-from-brisbane-australia.40211/#post-378230 ), that Giant removes the bike from their menus/general site once there's no stock available at the warehouse...which...

Hi Equaliser, In another thread on this forum ( https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/anyone-with-a-2020-revolt-e-pro.31114/page-2 ) I saw a Giant drop bar road bike that I don't think ever made it to Australia. I looked at the Giant FASTROAD E+ 2 PRO, but being a flatbar, I opted for...
