I didn’t know that - cheers

👍 - even though my Revolt is the first Giant I've ever owned, Giant have always been IMHO great "bang for buck" bicycles... ...prior to my deeper investigation of what Giant had to offer, ie just based on what I could find on the Giant AU website, I'd become resigned to the fact that the...

Micah's video makes a lot of sense, and his points on overvolting a motor is analogous to another hobby of mine - home audio, and specifically driving woofers in speakers/subs - woofers have motors just like e-bikes, they just don't rotate. Woofer drivers are never specified for voltage, but...

so glad I live in Brisbane (Australia), where it's "starting" to cool off...although Feb is likely to kick in a few more hot days before the end of summer here in the southern hemisphere... ...I asked a LBS that was in the process of building a new e-bike which connectors they put dielectric...

loving my Giant Revolt e-bike. It's the first Giant and first e-bike I've owned, but my wife has a Giant mountain bike, and I've always considered Giant bicycles to be excellent "bang for buck" compared to other brands like Specialized, Canyon etc at each price point...ie for a particular spec...

that's stealth 👍 - where's the motor/battery? understood - cheers👍 Before I bought my mid drive Giant Revolt I looked first at rear hub drive bikes primarily to avoid all the motor torque going through the chain...but none of the hub drives I tried had anything like the torque/assist that mid...

My sister just bought the same bike as mine (Giant Revolt E+ pro) in a medium frame - looking forward to some rides with my sis' 👍 Mike

or when overtaking another cyclist...hitting the 25km/h wall as you pass is quite scary...

This Speedbox video shows significant work for the install on a Giant - no crank removal, undoing the chain ring apparently provides access, but still requires getting lots of stuff off to swing the motor down for the install: From my perspective, still a difficult install. @Stefan Mikes -...

that's a great heads up! - cheers 👍 , and is the clincher. Moving the speed sensor to the crank just became harder (requiring a security Torx)...and I like the way the BAB can be removed in seconds... Mike

What a great ride - loving this bike (Giant Revolt e+ Pro 2020). I’ve been consistently commuting to work by bicycle for the last 15 years or so, but over the last 5 it has become a chore, whereas I used to look forward to it. The e-bike has made it fun again! It’s been years since I just took...

Yeah I hit the 25km/hr limit constantly. I wouldn’t want to de-restrict if the limit here was the same as say California Cheers Mike

@Stefan Mikes - great thread! and you're lucky to have your brother to help/do the install - it looked like a nightmare! It makes the BadAss4 appear sooo much easier, and fortunately my e-bike has the old school spoke magnet 👍 @Kal's post changed the goal posts a bit A vast difference between...

Cloudy this morning, but chose to risk it for the commute in to work...unfortunately my shiny new machine got a little wet/dirty :( ...but having disc brakes is sooo much better than the rim brakes on my acoustic. Just amazing acceleration off the line - didn't stop in the right gear? no...

Light rain forecast all day :( Still think I’ll ride though

picked my 2020 Revolt up this afternoon - my first e-bike A great ride home - plenty of boost up the hills. Quite a stiff headwind which would have been hard work on my acoustic, but became a cooling breeze on the e-bike. No brick wall cutout at 25km/h - still some boost just over...but when...

Picked up my shiny new Giant Revolt E+ bike today :) Great ride home - a bunch of the usual Brisbane hills. Shocker headwind for a long stretch - on my acoustic it would have been awful - on the e-bike it was just a nicer breeze! I've been riding around our steep home street for 5 years (14%)...

pretty sure I've got a timer plug somewhere, will dig it out - certainly a good option they look good also cheers guys!

Glad you enjoyed what you experienced of Queensland/Australia! I reckon so...just haven't got it yet :( ...it's waiting at the shop for next pay day (mid Feb)... ...thinking 1st extra will be a power supply that can selectively charge less than 100% to look after the battery, and 2nd extra...

I would agree - e-bikes have been selling like hot cakes, so the chances of a Jan 2020 build Revolt E+ Pro being on the floor of a bike shop in Jan 2021 is pretty slim...with none available from Giant (Australia) anymore I had to search for a Brisbane shop that had an XL in stock. Deposit was...
