I've been riding for decades, but just purchased my first bell a few months ago. We have a few miles of railway that has been converted to nature trail/urban pathway for pedestrian and bicycle use. There are several miles of the nature trail portion of the path and it is 15' wide and covered...

IMHO buying a bike because you like the accessories is like buying a car because you like the floor mats. My advice is to focus first on things that can't be changed like: drivetrain, battery, frame geometry and dealer support (Local > mail order) first. Then consider things that can be...

@AMH_bike We came so close to buying a LaFree for my wife when we rode one at the first bike shop we visited when shopping for eBikes. The LaFree is a great bike, and if you like the rack, fenders, and lights that are included on the bike, then it's a great value too. While I did like most of...

My old Craftsman C3 battery powered tools were about worn out and Sears had discontinued the batteries years ago. I did a lot of on-line research on cordless tools and went into Home Depot one day to buy new tools and leaning toward buying Porter Cable tools. In the tool isle a Ryobi...

@Browneye I don't get it either. I update our computers, iPads, iPhones, Apple Watches, Apple TV devices, home theatre receiver, TVs, cameras, lenses and car navigation systems as soon as an update is available. I did the same with my computers, servers and cameras at work. When Giant first...

@TourBiker - I see that you're having problems with the same version we're using, but on an Android. We updated our Transend Momentum and Vida to v1.13.1 about a week ago on our iPhones. Maybe we were lucky, but It only took a few minutes per bike and everything works great.

@atomicgreyhound When you say backs off, does it quit abruptly or ease up over a period of time? If the power assist fades away slowly, then it could be that you are slacking off on your peddling cadence. Giant/Momentum/Liv bikes are designed to be ride like a 'regular' bike that doesn't...

I feel cold at any temp below 70, so I bundle up when I ride; gloves, warm up pants, skull cap, neck gaiter, etc. Best bit of cycling clothing I ever bought was a cycling jacket. This one has snug cuff sleeves, a flap behind the zipper to keep the wind out, zippered hand pockets, pockets on the...

@GoGranny51 Too cold on MS coast? I was born and raised on MS coast, I'm in North Mississippi now and really miss the mild winters and flat terrain on the coast. 😜 We are supposed to have highs in low 50s this weekend and I'm planning to get in a few miles while I can.

I have no association with Performance Bicycle or Light & Motion. I just really like the Light & Motion Vis E-Combo E-bike Headlight and Taillight set I installed on my Momentum Transend E+ bike and this is a great price. The sale runs until Jan. 24th, 2022...

@GoGranny51 I bought my Momentum Transend back in 2020 and we bought a Vida E+ last year. I've added a few accessories, including lights, phone mount and water bottle cage. I made a few videos reviewing the bikes and going over all the accessories I've added. You can check them out if you like...

I have pepper spray, but have never used it. If the road conditions and my momentum will allow me to outrun the dog then that's what I do. If outrunning the dog isn't an option then I stop, get off the bike and put the bike between me and the dog and reach for the pepper spray. Once the bike...

I think Giant has one wiring harness that they install in all their bikes, including Momentum and Liv sub brands. My Momentum Transend E+ didn't come with bike-powered headlight or tail light even though the Ride Control 1 handlebar mounted controller had a headlight switch. I removed the key...

Well, if your club(s) has steel shafts you could use magnets to stick a club to the top tube of your bike with the head of the club sticking out beyond the head tube or hanging over the rear tire. A couple of velcro straps would work with any shaft material.

I started researching eBikes in 2019 and I believe the Transend E+ and Vida E+ have always had the SyncDrive Life 60nm motor. Both bikes offered only the 375W battery up until 2021, when Giant switched over to the 500W battery. I 'think' some early 2021s are still in the supply pipeline with the...

Our driveway is about 200' long and uphill all the way. I put my Transend E+ in 1st gear+max assist and sprint up the hill. My wife prefers to walk her Vida E+ up the hill and she loves the walk assist. Either way, you're good to go!

Sorry to hear you are having problems with your new bike! So far, I have not had any problems upgrading the Giant (Momentum) firmware on our bikes, but a few on the forum have experienced problems. As I understand it, the device you are using to update the bike acts as a conduit, downloading...

@Noobebiker In addition to the post I made on installing the hardwired headlight and taillight on my Momentum, I made a YouTube video covering all the accessories I've added. I'm with you @retiredNH, I don't like fenders either.

Yes, you can shift as many gears as you like, just click through them one at a time. Yes, unlike a derailleur, you can shift even while at a complete stop. Depending on when your bike was manufactured, there may be a supplemental sheet explaining the shifting do's and don'ts that are unique to...

Congrats on your new bike! I got my 2020 Momentum Transend E+ almost two years ago. It has a 375w battery and I typically ride 20-25 miles and only use about 50% of the battery capacity riding at 12-15mph average speed in a very hilly area. Momentum changed the battery on the Transend from...
