    Adding a Ltd to the fleet

    I paid tax on mine and I live in NV. Congrats. I had a Giant mid drive bike without a throttle and I can't believe how much you miss it. Sold it to purchase the LMT'D.

    Nothing to do till Sep 15, so I thought I'd get your opinions

    I think the biggest issue I have seen complaints about is not getting the bike on the estimated shipping date. I have seen that on other on line bike purchases also. The problem might be with overseas shipping, custom ports and Covid 19 but what do I know. I went to a Harbor Freight a few weeks...

    Nothing to do till Sep 15, so I thought I'd get your opinions

    I purchased my first E bike in 2017. An E-glide ST. At the time it was the best bang for the buck. Hydraulic brakes, rack, fenders, lights, 500 watt motor, a throttle, a large 11.4 amp battery which was big at the time, a cheap suspension seat post and front suspension forks with a handlebar...

    Blue PAS level numbers are almost invisible.

    I attached the owners manual for the KD218 display.

    LMT'D add ons discussion

    Was wondering what add ons people were going to add to their LMT'D. Specifically I'm looking at a suspension seat post and some type of fender. I have a Topeak rear rack and bag from a previous bike I was going to use. My friend I ride with has a Topeak handlebar mounted metal basket. I never...

    R1UP waterproofed wiring/connections on 700?

    I believe that is a hard question to answer since riding through a hard prolong rain storm is different from riding through a sprinkle. My experience from riding a motorcycle through rain is eventually water will try to permeate it's way into your riding gear and puddle in the crotch area of the...

    New LMT’d - who’s in?

    I ordered my LMT'D yesterday. Used my Discover card through Paypal and hopefully will get the 5% cash back up to $75.00 on the purchase. I have an EGlide ST I purchased in March 2017 that I have put about 7000 miles on with almost no problems. I upgraded the original 11.6 Amp battery to a 17.5...

    Review: New LMT'D - new owner's perspective

    There is a review of the LMT'D on Youtube with the Cafe style handlebars. I asked the reviewer how he liked them and he responded they were very comfortable.

    Review: New LMT'D - new owner's perspective

    Here are some alternatives to taking the wheel off. I usually try to repair the leak while the tire is still on the bike if possible. https://gaadi.de/?page_id=3671&lang=en https://tannusamerica.com/products/tannus-armour And then there is good old slime!

    Review: New LMT'D - new owner's perspective

    Lumpy, do you know if the new controller a 22 amp controller also? The Ride1up web page lists the previous controller as 48V22A Lishui Sine-wave.

    Review: New LMT'D - new owner's perspective

    My Dapu 500 watt hub motor has served me well. Has been very reliable and has taken me on many long adventures. There are a few hills on River Mountains Loop trail by Lake Mead that it struggles with. That is were this 750 watt will shine. Also top end while pedaling is around 22 mph and it...

    Review: New LMT'D - new owner's perspective

    This is great news. They are listening to customers complaints and improving their product. I have been reading complaints on the forum of Rize and Juiced making me wary of taking a gamble on getting a product with problems from the get go. My friend purchased a Dost Drop and from receiving the...

    Review: New LMT'D - new owner's perspective

    Checking the stats on three 750 watt motor bikes I'm looking at the LMT'D has a 22 amp controller. The Dost Kope and the Juice Crosscurrent X use a 25 amp controller. Amps = Watts divided by volts. Since we know the volts and amps we can figure watts. LMT'D 1056 watt, Dost Kope 1200 watt and...

    Review: New LMT'D - new owner's perspective

    There is very limited customer experience with the LMT so far so every owners comments are appreciated especially Lumpy's. I sold my 2019 Giant Explore E + 3 today. Very sophisticated E-bike but I missed a throttle and the motor is designed to cut off at 20 mph without some type of aftermarket...

    Don't take it personally. I'm not bashing any individual.

    Review: New LMT'D - new owner's perspective

    Thanks Lumpy, I follow this thread to hear your view and updates about the LMT. Anything not about the LMT should be started on another thread. That's how forums work.

    Weight is not a big factor on an electric bike. Weight, wind, hills, an electric bike gobbles it up like candy.

    Problem with latest firmware update

    The E Glide ST with a 500 watt rear drive motor is my main ride. I like having a throttle to start off with from stops. The Giant Explore was a good deal from a friend who could not ride any longer. The Giant is more like riding a regular bike with a little extra oomph!

    Problem with latest firmware update

    I purchased a 2019 Giant Explore from a friend in February. Had trouble with the Ridecontrol update and took it to my local Giant dealer and did the update for free. Also gave me this pretty cool report card. Even shows the percentage of the PAS fields you use when you ride. This is my 2nd E...
