    Will the SyncDrive provide power to a Giant eBikes motor while it is being charged?

    Thanks Stephan, I really didn't want to go out to the garage in this dismal weather to check. I just received a Jackery generator for car camping in the minivan. Its a nice compact mobile generator when no electricity is available. New toy and my mind wanders off.

    Will the SyncDrive provide power to a Giant eBikes motor while it is being charged?

    A curious thought. I guess i could test it out myself by strapping on a Jackery generator on the rear rack, plug in to a nearly depleted bike battery and seeing if it moves. Stop your laughing...

    2021 EXPLORE E+ 2 GTS , 20 or 28mph ?

    I see that Giant also sells a SyncDrive Core on some eBikes. As these motors evolve Giant will need a naming standard to distinguish from each other.

    2021 EXPLORE E+ 2 GTS , 20 or 28mph ?

    I don't think the 2021 Explore E+ 2 has the Syncdrive Pro motor. In fact I don't think it even has the Syncdrive Sport motor.

    Sound recommendation. Giant, are you listening?

    FASTROAD E+ EX PRO 2021

    In the 700c size the Big Apples go to 60mm, which is as wide as my stock Giant rims dare to hold. After putting over 4 hundred miles on the Big Apples I'm a real enthusiast to high performance balloon tires. It's just something that once you experience it - anything else seem wrong. (That's...

    FASTROAD E+ EX PRO 2021

    Both the Big Apple &, Big Ben come in 27.5 size to 60mm. I have 700c X 60mm Big Apples on my Explore E+. Very durable tire! Schwalbe Big Ben Plus H

    2020 Fastroad EX not "seeing" Energypak Plus

    Great but I find it rather dismal that Giant struggles with such a basic plug-in feature. I swear a high school voc-tech would had that problem dialed-in and working in no time. I'm an analog guy living in a digital world.

    FASTROAD E+ EX PRO 2021

    Very cool bike! I have seen a Euro Giant reseller list battery upgrades for 2020 Giant eBikes replacing 500wh with the newest 625wh battery. Huge replacement charge of over $700 US. The item was listed as currently N/A for many models. The price may drop but Giant branded batteries aren't...

    GIANT RideControl App 2.0

    Yes, well it was discovering what caused app to fail, then no need to change display because load finished.

    GIANT RideControl App 2.0

    I found that if the screen goes dim or off while updating the app will fail. My workaround was to tap the screen every few seconds while running the update until it finished the load.

    Another new RideControl app installed on my partner's 2019 LaFree E+1. Update when smooth and finished in a couple minutes. No test rides yet.

    Holly Cow, Four State loop, how very flipping cool. We just got back from Sedona which was excellent but the flying was horrid. Doing some self quarantine to make sure I didn't bring anything back from AZ.

    GIANT RideControl App 2.0

    Android 10 on Pixel Phone running on Google FI network. This is as generic as they make. Update went fine but updated 3-3 and the 4-4 before finished. Version 1.0.0. That's as far as I got for my 2020 Explore e+4

    The Explore PRO 0+ and 1+ is a different line of eBikes . It even has it's own frame not shared with the rest of the Explore line.

    Giant's Explore Pro 0+ was 500wh but it still had an optional add-on power pack. In 2021 Giant increased Explore Pro 1 + range by a huge increase to 625wh main and whatever add-on power pak.

    Nice to have it and not need it rather than need it but not have it.

    Dude you live 15 miles from the top of Mt. Washington. Just got back from Sedona, AZ and hiked trails throughout the area. It was amazing to be top of Soldiers Pass and hear the crunching of a string of Mt. Bike riders coming down trails that's nearly a vertical wall. You know the type. Bunch...
