    Giant e bike app- any experience with it?

    My app will connect to my 2018 Quick E but it tends to randomly disconnect and reconnect, then my bike won't turn on, provide any assistance or respond to any inputs until I take the battery out & reinstall it.

    Fender mudflap ideas

    No, it is just the stair tread, cut to the right size and bolted on to my fenders. They are stiff enough to keep me & the people behind me dry and flexible enough to bend away at curbs. No flapping that I have noticed. The work way better than I had anticipated.

    Fender mudflap ideas

    I made mud flaps out of the rubber stair treads. This website has the template that I used for the sizing. http://www.phred.org/~alex/bikes/fendermudflap.html They fit perfectly in the Quick-E fenders and I drilled two holes for bolts, but a zip tie would probably have worked just as well.

    Replacement Charger for 2018 Quick-E+?

    I'm looking for a second charger for my Quick-E to keep at work. I know that I can get one through my LBS ( ~$200, i think ) but I'm wondering if there are any other ones out there that might be worth looking into. I know there are a ton on amazon and other sites but I'm afraid that I will get...

    @drustan - I don't think that the MIK deck will work with your rack. The Giant Metro E rack will replace the stock rack and give you a MIK deck.

    A built in clock would be nice

    a clock with a thermostat would be perfect!

    2018 Giant Quick-E Rack

    For Sale - Stock Rack for Giant Quick E. I upgraded to the Giant Metro E Rack. I can imagine that this rack would fit on the other Giant E Bikes. Works great for panniers. This has some wear from my panniers and general use. Not looking to get much from it. I was thinking $15 plus shipping...

    6 volt ebike lights?

    I had the AXA blueline 30. I would say that it is a general light for being seen but not a light to see by, especially on a dark unlit trail. I replaced mine with a B&M IQ-X E.

    Best Clipless Shoes For Cycling & Walking?

    The SIDI Mega line is their wide shoe line. Pricey but should last a long long time.

    Hitch Mount Bike Rack

    I never thought about using one of the bar adapters for a step through. I've used them for hanging racks but I guess they would bridge that gap from the step through. I would use some type of filler for the gap around the jaw and the bike to prevent rubbing from movement & vibration. I think...

    Hitch Mount Bike Rack

    That is what I though when I was starting to look for racks too. The front fender doesn't come out far enough so you can clamp the arm straight on the tire. The rear one will contact the fender so you have two options: 1- use the rear tire strap only with out the arm. You don't have to use...

    Hitch Mount Bike Rack

    I have a Saris Superclamp EX 2 and I really like it. Easy to load & Unload and it work with bikes with fenders! Bonus - Saris has amazing customer service. https://www.saris.com/product/superclamp-ex-2 With the rack (no bikes) completely folded up I can still access the hatch on my Honda...

    Quick-E+

    @Gator - Do you have the 5 speed or 3 speed 2018? The 5 speed has the same stock rack at the 2019 which accepts the MIK deck. The 3 speed 2018 does not, but saying that, the little nibs that are on the inside of the 3 speed rack are threaded. So maybe the MIK deck could be bolted on depending...

    that is definitely an advantage of the MIK deck add on vs replacing the rack with the Metro-E

    The cable is for plugging things into your computer. Its nice that they include it because it is micro USB and it’s hard to find micro USB to Micro USB or Mini USB cables. For charging lights or your phone off the bikes battery. I’m not sure what the bar mount is. With a photo I’m sure someone...

    you can get a MIK compatible deck with Giants Metro E rack that is made for the earlier Quick E bikes. The one that is compatible with the 2019 is just a flat deck bolt on but the Metro E is an entire rack replacement. It’s a really great rack. It gives more height too so you can use full size...

    No confusions. Either way its a great set up. I'm thinking now its time to get a trunk bag for the days when my commute doesn't needs as much storage space! Your photo of the bag bottom solidified my decision. Time to go shopping!

    I'm 99% sure that it will lock directly onto the flat part of your rack. I had added the Metro E rack to my bike and it has the same plate that I can see in your photos. At least you will have the adapter if you want to attach your bags to non MIK racks.

    Interesting... Thank you so much for taking a photo! So that won't snap directly on to the top of your rack without the luggage adapter?
