    SyncDrive Pro Software on the EP8, who's doing the change control?

    Thanks, I know hence the question about the Ride Control software app controlling the EP8 vs Etube software controlling it in the EP8 version (iow, offering greater levels of assist)........

    Revolt E+ Motor = EP8

    Not sure but in USA the giant website for the Revolt E+ Pro list the controller for the (USA version is ) Yama syncdrive motor as controlled by the left di2 grx shifter. Of course who really knows considering some inconsistencies I have sometimes found when reading giant's website bike specs...

    The best tuning option for Shimano E8000?

    Yes I use paid version too for a couple of years now and the wheel setting of 1300 works great for speeds up to ~24.8 mph. But mostly I used it for the 0-100% assist tuning which is really great !!! I am going to try the speedbox now because I want to use this bike on the fast group road rides...

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

    This really doesn't help but the release works fine on my E+2 I just bought. Turn the key at the same time as I click the release lever. https://www.giant-bicycles.com/us/stance-eplus-2-2021 I will say though I really am enjoying this bike here in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado USA. Where...

    The infamous Motobecane HAL E-MTB. I bought one…

    For sure. I drove from here (Denver) to Salt Lake and back 1000 miles to get my wife's https://www.liv-cycling.com/us/embolden-eplus-2-2021 (right before it went up another 200 dollars). Great shop in Kaysville Utah there called Biker's Edge. All of the good giant ebikes are like all the others...

    The infamous Motobecane HAL E-MTB. I bought one…

    That is awesome. I waited for a month and 1/2 past the april 20- may 20 (should only be off by a few days time slot.) Was told they cleared customs. A month later still crickets....finally bailed and found a Giant Stance 70nm motor with s*it parts and a grand more than the Hal E Elite. But; the...

    New Bike Day! 2021 Stance E 2 29er

    55lbs Never wash my mountain bike lol. If it is muddy I wait till it dries and with a damp cloth knock off enough mud on it and all the moving parts. Oil chain, check front and back der's and go. Worst thing you can do is wash the thing and spray gets past the ferrules down into the housing as...

    New Bike Day! 2021 Stance E 2 29er

    Very nice I loved mine I just bought, other than the fact it throws a wheel magnet error code (guessing) as soon as I got it home and goes into error but is still completely functional you just can't see your assist level on the display anymore. Since it does this several times per ride I just...

    Giant No Longer a Value Brand? A Tale of Two Similar E-bikes, Two Years & $900 apart

    +1 I jumped on it when I found one of the last medium Explore+ 2020 (because of the motor spec* and what they did to the 2021 so I went with the 2020.)(85nm/or 75 {depending on what literature you read from them} vs 60nm 2021 with price jump of 20%. around 600+(probably not as high as you said...

    Giant SyncDrive Pro 2020 "tuning"

    You might try the chainstay sensor method, very easy to try and then return if not working for you and your firmware and motor. It has worked really pretty well for me. Key is get your position just right. Before you move it for the try, be sure and measure the exact (to the mm) distance from...

    Question about experience of using Shimano Steps E6100 motor

    Hi very old post but I thought I would chime in. First great thread comparing the 6100 to the others. I will note that even though it is more of a treking motor Motobecane thought it might have enough power and put it on a dual suspension bike along side another with a 7000 motor...

    Motor torque..how concerned am I? 80 vs 50 Nm on Giant bike. Same price.

    Exactly right ! You said it best have to be reminded when to back off so you don't come home feeling sick and immune compromised. Thing is, even if you back off on your acoustic, you may not be able to get home anyway in a communicable state. 🤣 Many times here and many many naps after. Just...

    Motor torque..how concerned am I? 80 vs 50 Nm on Giant bike. Same price.

    Depends I use a 50nm, a 60, 70 and 80 ebikes for real training. Just because you want a big motor (just make sure you get a big battery :) ) and use a bit of neuroplasticity doesn't mean you are just measuring in classic neanderthal sense, I would think but everyone to his own. Just as I want...

    Giant SyncDrive Pro 2020 "tuning"

    2 weeks nother edit: Still perfect. 4/25/2021 (So this is a done deal now and with this particular motor SychDriveSport 2019 and first quarter 2021 firmware works fine and silly to drop the motor and do a volspeed for me. I am retired engineer and have no problem with doing that...for fun even.)...

    Giant SyncDrive Pro 2020 "tuning"

    What a great technical thread you guys have here it has helped me allot ! Ordered a 48 chainring for it mine and with the 80nm motor I am seeing about 32 max on the flats. I only use that for pack dynamics and to get the HELL away from cars across busy stretches quickly. Anyway, it keeps me in...

    Giant EnergyPak replacement batteries for $200

    Love to know where you can get one of these Bosch batteries that sounds like a fairy tale from another world. No offense but I just got a new Bosch power pack battery as a spare.

    Giant SyncDrive Pro 2020 "tuning"

    I had one on my Bosch and it worked great. I just needed a bit more top end on our training group rides so I had to go with Volspeed on that motor. But, big difference my particular Bosch motor had the wires easily accessed via the cover without dropping the motor and good enough room to install.

    Giant SyncDrive Pro 2020 "tuning"

    Glad I found this syncdrive motor dropping support group.....I was living in my dream world after watching this video until I took the front lower cover off of my 2020 Explore E+ 4 GTS sync drive sport. 😢 Volspeed on my Bosch was a 30 min job. It is certainly worth it to be able to ride my bike...
