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

    The top stem screw on the Grail-On is very very easy to strip. I had to order a replacement screw w/bolt and top plate for $19.99 plus shipping and tax. Why can't the bike have similar screw/hex sizes for ease of maintenance?

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

    Canyon uses a strange tapered front fork size for their Grail-On bikes: One and 1/8" to one and 1/4". Most tapered forks are 1 1/8" to 1 1/2". Impossible to find a replacement fork for this bike outside of Canyon.

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

    Replacing a part on your Canyon e-Bike is challenging in this enviroment. I've been waiting for around 4 months now for a front fork on my Grail-On. Canyon was apologetic and promised to get one for me for FREE. In the meantime, I've purchased another eBike to use - lol...

    Advice on Canyon Grail: ON

    This is the problem when you hire inexperienced customer service reps. That Canyon rep should have said they would research instead of blaming you for the issue. Onto your issue, I thought we weren't supposed to use regular 'lube' for the carbon seatpost? I probably would have cleaned the...

    Advice on Canyon Grail: ON

    My problem is that I cracked my front fork and Canyon doesn't have any in stock. And, of course, they use a weird tapered 1 1/8" to 1 1/4" fork size which NO ONE uses. Nice.

    A Road-Cyclist Thoughts On E-Bikes

    We live in an awesome time where there are a lot of options. I'm grateful to have multiple bikes and use them depending on my needs. My Canyon Grail-On allows me to go up mountains and steep hills that I would never attempt. It also allows me to commute to my office and not break much of a...

    Advice on Canyon Grail: ON

    You're gonna love it. I usually use the lowest setting (ECO) and rarely do I use TOUR and SPORT. I've never used TURBO - lol. The power is almost too much and I sometimes spin the wheels. BE CAREFUL. No kidding.

    Specialized, Trek or Orbea, which one?

    vdev said: Aluminum Creo weighs 33 lbs with pedals - that come with bike Carbon one weighs 29lbs. That's not too bad. My eMotion road bike is 27 lbs and my eGravel bike is 37lbs.

    Specialized, Trek or Orbea, which one?

    I meant that it's pretty hard to ride a heavy bike without the motor assist, unless you are only on flats. The Creo is pretty heavy right? Over 40 lbs?

    Specialized, Trek or Orbea, which one?

    I have both a Class 1 and Class 3 eBike and, yes, they both cut out at 20 and 28 mph, respectively. Not sure why that's an issue as that is what they are designed to do. I usually only use the hub motor just before a hill or against a crosswind and it is very helpful.

    Specialized, Trek or Orbea, which one?

    BTW, I also recommend the Canyon Grail-On as well; it is Class 3 and a BLAST to ride. It will easily give you 60+ miles on a charge (no extended battery available or needed). It's not cheap though.

    Specialized, Trek or Orbea, which one?

    I have the Pinarello Dyodo which is very similar to the Orbea Gain M20i. Assumming your ride is mainly tarmac and isn't over 60 miles per ride, I recommend the Orbea Gain for the following reasons: 1) I don't notice ANY drag on the hub motor and my Dyodo uses the exact same eMotion hub motor...

    Canyon?

    I wanted to get the carbon wheels as well but Canyon didn't have the etap version in stock so I 'settled' for the shimano-equipped Grail-On. I'm happy to have saved $1,200 although shaving 2 lbs would have been nice.

    Bosch 4th gen motor

    No worries. ;) I just don't want people with eBikes always wanting more speed (above 28mph) and getting non-ebikers all riled up because we're flying by them on the trails...

    Bosch 4th gen motor

    That is a lot of money for that bike ($4,500usd) and it weighs around 55lbs!
