No, I didn't. The bikespeed-rs can be fully disabled which I *think* I did. But I definitely turned it off. I have had it in the Bike Shop a couple of times now without removing it. I've attached the Test Report. The ODO is out - mine is actually 2126kms. And this time it doesn't show % use...

It's Android. The clock was on the app for a while - I guessed a firmware update was required to get it to show up on the bike.

Took my Quick-E into Giant Hampton for a new Chain and also got the firmware upgraded. Now I have extra stuff on the Display like a Power Meter (below the main speed readout, showing 3 bars). I had to lean on the pedals a little to get that to show up while I took the pic. Also, notifications...

You have to kind of put the cables up the tube where the battery sits on top of. Just make sure the connections are good as you don't want to have to disassemble again ! Good Luck!

Bonjour J'ai un Giant Quick-E + et j'utilise le 'bikespeed-RS', ce qui est excellent. Vous pouvez envoyer un message à ces personnes à l'adresse https://www.bikespeed.de/Kontakt_en.html et ils vous répondront rapidement si cela fonctionne avec votre vélo ou non. Étant donné que votre vélo est...

Can't remember but got them from Anaconda Alan

I put extra thick tubes in mine. See earlier post. No flats since and I hardly have to top up pressure. Good alternative to tubeless. Also went with Schrader valves so I can top up in garage forecourts.

I'm using Maxima Chain Wax

Just a heads up, I'm on around 1800kms now and I noticed some play in the rear wheel bearing. It grinds a little on rotation but my LBS says it's ok and adjusted the play. I watched what the mechanic did and basically the lock nut is loosened and the bearing adjusted to be hand tight, then the...

I have a 48T and I've managed with the original chain just fine. However, I will upgrade it when it needs changing.

Thanks for the heads up but no I didn't know that. Must be too old school ? Oh well nothing was irreversibility damaged. Cheers

Haven't posted up here for a while. My bike has always creaked - due to rider excess weight or so I thought !!! Took the bike cross country few weeks ago and got multiple punctures from 'bindii eye prickles'. So I've installed extra thick inner tubes and swapped to schrader valves. I had to...

I had the same issue. I tightened up the Derailleur hanger as tight as I reckoned it would take and that solved it for me ;)

I'm curious - what speed does NZ allow?

I have hung my Quick-E from a similar rack. I have chopped the front mudguard down to make a shorty mudguard. This was due to my son's big feet whacking the back of it so I had to take action.This means the mudguard is not damaged. In order to lift it, it's best to remove the battery even...

In case anybody is monitoring this thread in Oz, Ivanhoe Cycles (they own Giant Hampton) have reduced the Quick-E 2019 to $3399 AUD ($600 off) as we are coming into Autumn/Winter now. https://ivanhoecycles.com.au/bicycle-bikes/Electric-Bikes/Giant-Quick-E+-(2019)/10245

A small interesting fact is that the MIK deck can be bolted on one way round or the other which means it actually lines up a little differently further forward or back

Since we're talking luggage and racks, thought I'd post a few pics of the Ortliebs I got with the Mik rack. It's Autumn now in Australia and I'm glad of the reflective material. I bought two but am just showing you one as it's easier to take a shot round the back.

@pullenj Thanks for putting that up. Need to go shopping :)

I would say Thumbs up. Unfortunately, I work away a lot and only had one more day's riding since the glitch. But it worked fine the next day, and I personally prefer the fact that the guys's care much more about our experience. In fact, the BikeSpeed people went into local Giant stores the next...
