I was asked about the Shimano Nexus rear hub on the Momentum bikes and I thought it would be a good idea to share my thoughts on the hub here for others. I love the Transend, it way just the blend of cruiser/commuter/gravel bike I was looking for. I think I've got about 400 miles on it now and...

I'm riding a 2020 Momentum Transend E+ which is made by Giant with a Yamaha Giant SyncDrive Life motor rated at 60Nm. Instead of a 9-speed derailleur it has a Shimano Nexus C3000, 7-speed rear hub trading gear range for simplicity and since it's a class-3, it's geared much higher than either the...

@abpdx, funny you should ask. I've had my Transend E+ for almost 3-months. I've been using the giant Ride Control on all buy one of my rides (forgot to launch app) and I've ridden it about 350 miles so far. It's kinda hilly where I live, I typically encounter about one mile of elevation gain for...

I have very wide feet and upgraded the stock pedals on my Momentum to these 25Nine pedals. The difference is amazing and one of my favorite upgrades so far. I've also found that I prefer to ride wearing tennis court shoes which have a stiffer sole and increased ankle support versus running...

Welcome to the EBR from Oxford, MS! I'm fairly new to the EBR and electric bikes, but I'm very familiar with the Miss Gulf Coast having grown up there. Boy do I miss the beaches, incredible seafood and flat terrain. ;) Hope you and your wife enjoy many happy journeys on your eBikes!

I remove my battery after every ride, 90+ degrees and 90+ humidity in my garage is not a battery friendly environment. I used to fly a drone commercially and always kept all the batteries in a Li-Po fireproof bag, but I have not been able to find a fireproof bag large enough for my eBike...

I was concerned about the 375wh capacity when shopping for my eBike, but every bike has compromises and I really liked everything else about the Giant/Momentum bikes so I got one. I've put about 350 miles on my Momentum Transend E+ over the past couple of months, almost all on pavement and in...

We drove about an hour to the nearest Trek/Specialized and Giant bike shops with bikes in stock. Rode one Trek, one Specialized, one Giant and one Townie. Giant was my favorite, but what I rode was a $4,500 mountain bike, so I ordered a Momentum (division of Giant) Transend E+ based on how I...

@elliot friedman did you wrap the whole bike? I had some 4" wide 3M film left over from protecting the door sills on my truck so I applied 3M film to the paint matched cover on my integrated battery (it gets handled so much from removing, storing, charging and reinstalling), the head tube (to...

@Ccount I ordered the headlight only, not the headlight/taillight combo. I have an 'AA' battery powered taillight with a built in reflector that I really like and I turn it on every time I ride. I wanted to keep the headlight on a separate circuit so I could turn it on as needed from the...

I got this light for my Momentum (Giant) Ebike. My bike already has light switch built into the controller and comes pre-wired for a headlight, but my model didn't came with a headlight. It was a simple task to wire the headlight into the bike, the headlight is very compact, solid aluminum and...

I had a few rides waiting to be uploaded from the past week. All of them uploaded just fine. Can't wait for version 2.0!

Easy fix. you can also use a shoestring or a zip tie.

At $2,600 the Momentum (Giant) Transend E+ is over your budget, but I ordered mine on-line and it was assembled and ready to pick up at Giant bike dealer in one week. A month later a friend who liked mine ordered one and was able to pick hers up in 4 days, her husband ordered one after riding...

I became a Slime fan a few years ago. I have a two wheel lawn cart that I pull behind my riding mower, the cart has 10" wheel barrow tubeless tires. Every dang time I want to use the cart I would find one or both tires flat and the bead separated from the rim. I'd have to flip the cart upside...

I've been using Meguires Synthetic X-Press spray wax on my cars for a few years now. Spray on, wipe off and the paint feels slick and water beads for about 6-months. I use it on the entire exterior of the cars (paint, chrome, plastic, vinyl, etc.) except for the windshield and the tires. I used...

FYI - 2020 Giant LaFree are still available new for $2,000. The catch is you can only order blue in medium size, all other sizes and colors are out of stock. https://www.giant-bicycles.com/us/lafree-eplus-2

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but I've seen lots of store bought and DIY bike racks installed in Ridgelines in the Ridgeline Owner's Club (ROC). I'm leaning toward the DIY route of installing an aluminum bar between the two tie downs at the front of the bed and mounting two fork mounts on...

Hey @easyrider007! Good to see a fellow Ridgeline owner here, I'm on my second Ridgeline (2012 RTL bought new and traded in for a 2018 RTL-E). I have a BakFlip MX4 tonneau cover and I picked up my Momentum Transend E+ bike at the dealer in my truck and drove it an hour home with no problems...

Bought my first eBike almost 2 months ago, and I've put over 250 trouble-free miles on it so far. I was concerned about remote product support, so I limited my search to bikes I could buy and have serviced by a brick and mortar store within one hour's drive from my home. This limited my search...
