I would have thought that the Badass Box would definitely be the way to go. And they do ship within Australia, so reasonably quickly. You can always test out what effect it will have by swapping your speed sensor to the outside of the chain stay with cable ties and attaching your magnet to the...

I keep a little sandwich bag and some electrical tape in my bag. If the rain gets heavy (or is forecast to) I can just cover up the control panel with that and keep it dry. This morning was just showers though really - not too bad.

Are you certain that you need a VOLSpeed? Is your rear wheel magnet for the speed sensor spoke mounted or brake rotor mounted? It was a bit hard to tell from your photo. I have a 2020 model but still "lucky" enough to have the spoke mounted magnet which means that it works with the Badass Box.

Yes, the flat sides of the axle do become wedged in the dropouts. A 10mm open ended wrench will easily allow you to rotate the axle and free it for removal.

I agree with the Bob Dylan reference but the EH500's are single sided so they really do offer the best of both worlds and are totally usable with or without cleats:

Wow! I have never seen that "explanation" and I am not sure if it is anything more than a gimmick. I would love to hear from anyone that has these pedals and has actually been for a proper bike fit with them. I was always told (for almost 50 years) that you put the widest part of your foot on...

Not really sure what you mean by right and left. Assuming you have drop bars and combined brifters (brake lever/gear shifters) on your Road E+, then the right hand levers will change the rear derailleur and the left hand ones will change the front. Each set of shifters will have two levers - a...

I did see one for sale on Gumtree on the Gold Coast about a month ago but it was the derailleur version, not the carbon belt drive one. I did fancy the idea of one but the fact that they are only in Sydney put me off and I saw one or two people online complaining that they had had problems with...

I'm not even sure that Giant USA are doing the Road E+ Pro any more either. The Giant options seem to be either a Fastroad E+ Pro or a Fastroad E+ EX Pro. It might be worth looking at putting drop bars on the EX but if you are re-visiting Yamaha motors you could also look at the Yamaha Wabash...

I couldn't agree more - if I can average over 25km/h on a 38km commute on my road bike then what would be the attraction in spending three or four times as much on a heavier bike so that I could ride at the same speed for less benefit? It's just too easy to pick an arbitrary speed limit figure...

It's not really a cut off as such, it's just the amount of power that is available from that motor/controller combination. I think some people have experimented with changing the motor and/or controller but I am not sure how successful they were.

I a Totally understand. I did prefer the Revolt, I just couldnt justify the extra cost for me, and I got a good deal on the Fastroad. I still have a Giant TCR (acoustic) for when the mood takes me and I am just back from a quick ride on my full suspension MTB but I would find the TCR a chore...

Welcome Mike! I'm in Brisbane too and just upgraded from an NCM Moscow to a Giant Fastroad (same motor and similar spec to yours but flatbar) and I love it. Fabulous ride and really makes my 38km commute a pleasure.

Only just bought it but love my Giant Fastroad

I have Marathon E-Plus for commuting on my NCM Moscow E-MTB and I am looking at putting Marathon Racers on my Fastroad E+ 2 Pro. I would love to hear anyone else's experience. I appreciate that the puncture protection will not be as good but the weight and the speed will be more appropriate...

See FullyCharged's post above, on Apr 6, for close up photo of connector and link to installation instructions.

My Moscow will get up here: Only 200m long but 20% according to the signs

Yes

I have the same on my Moscow. They definitely help with climbing as well.

I think that @Silvercat is having problems with the front though, not the rear
