    eMTB Options For 2024

    Those are a little odd, but if you like 'em run 'em. The Minions are a very good all around tire, maybe about 40% less cost, I'm not sure. YMMV Here's a Loam Wolf write up on the Assegai in case you didn't find it: https://theloamwolf.com/2020/03/09/review-maxxis-assegai-tires/ And the...

    eMTB Options For 2024

    Evidently the supply chain issues and rush during the pandemic has been resolved and there are lots of bikes for sale - they're even back to discounting them again. I found a link to 'bike exchange' from another industry blog, seems it's a sale listing service for bike dealers - new and used...

    eMTB Options For 2024

    Canyon is back shipping bikes again... https://www.canyon.com/en-us/ A few nice looking models there. A quick glance showed their ebike range to be carbon fiber...didn't see an alloy option. Big battery option though...900W pack for 60 mile range. With Fox36, $5200!

    Known Issues & Problems with Giant Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    No, for the yamaha sync-drive electric motor. A motorcycle shop has never seen one of those, nor likely even knows they exist. LOL I just did a quick search on ebay for 'giant ebike motor' and there are lots for sale - you just gotta find one compatible. They're in the four to six hundred...

    Known Issues & Problems with Giant Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    I would search out a yamaha tech and have it repaired. Likely just a wire or something. Seven grand for a motor is ridiculous. Or search out a used motor on ebay or something.

    Yeah, the Stance E+ Pro - got the 85nm pro motor and a 800w pack. Wow! Price is getting up there too though. A couple of models on sale - E+ 1 for $4200?

    eMTB Options For 2024

    I guess I'm on the mailing list for ORBEA. I was actually entertaining the thought of selling my OCCAM because I never ride it. When I go out for a putt I ride the Trance-E, the fancy CF one sits. I bet it has fifty miles on it if that. Used ones on Pro's Closet still sell for about 78% of new...

    I'm on the Fence about Selling my Giant La Free E+1 (any opinions ?)

    I've sold two Giant and one home-built ebikes on CL. Showed up with cash and were thrilled. Sell it if you want something else. Discount it about 30-40% from new.

    GIANT RideControl App 2.0

    Yep, two current eMTB's, a 2019 Trance and a 2020 Stance. Both updated about a month ago - no issues. I have setup about six Giant ebike connect apps over the years and never had a problem with any of them or any updates. You do have to be logged into the app with a valid account, and connected...

    Two seconds difference? Another big factor is rider weight - drop ten pounds and see how your times do. ;)

    I wouldn't answer your inquiries either. You're one of those that no matter what, you're going to complain.

    GIANT RideControl App 2.0

    I understand - but if the bike is new take it back to your dealer. Giant is not Garmin. Period. Wishing or hoping just won't make it so. There are bazillions of customers using the app - it works fine. I personally have setup five different bikes on it without issue. I don't mind having a...
