    Widespread Giant motor creaking problem - time for a recall?

    I also have a 2017. they replaced the bike first, then a motor etc. I really have to agree that greasing the bolts that are not machined correctly and cranking them down is the answer. Just suggesting that you also do that and get onto enjoying your bike. Still loving the ride......

    Bike Rack

    Congratulations on your purchase. I use a trunk mounted Thule Raceway rack without issue, however I would recommend that you take heed of all the great suggestions above, and pursue them on craigslist,ebay, offerup etc. I've seen many excellent products, used a year or less and sell for half...

    Which Lock for e-bike (Explore E+ 1 GTS)?

    I have been using an Otto lock for the past few years. Not designed for long term overnight, however the absolutely strongest, lightest, lock I've ever used: https://ottodesignworks.com/. Pass it along and pay it forward.

    Single bolt seat post concerns

    I've been dealing with this for over a year and I just carry my wrench to readjust after a good bump. My 235lbs is just too much for this design. Looks like you found a double duty solution. Enjoy your bike.

    Light power port for Giant e-bikes

    I’ll assume that the light connection is in a harness only accessible when the motor cover is removed. I’ve been using an orp light and horn. Using the micro to micro plug, I charge off the controller if necessary.

    Trip mileage accuracy

    Mine is 2018 model not connected via Bluetooth to the app. Being retired I would opt for the greater distance, as it makes me be feel better. I’d be interested to hear and I’ll try connecting to the app.

    Trip mileage accuracy

    Mine has been consistently the same. Is there a calibration in the software for tire size? Only a shop could see this I imagine. I’m more inclined to believe something mechanical than gps satellites which can be degraded.

    I got my Quick E +

    Hi there, Manuals are online at https://www.giant-bicycles.com/us/owners-manuals. As much info as was packed with the bike is probably here. Be sure to register your bike with a photo of the serial # as this comes in handy if a warranty issue arises. Giant requires this I think. As far as...

    Hurricane Irma

    Hunkered down in Florida, well protected and provisioned. Listening to the continual tornado warnings posted every ½ hour in the middle of hurricane Irma. Dawns on me that my beautiful ebike has a state of the art battery, duh??? Charge the phones and watch the news and movies. Generator comes...

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

    I find that you have to hold the power button down about 20 sec for it to power off. Developed a rubbing sound under load and replaced the motor but that didn't do it. Giant Rep is involved and will handle to my satisfaction this week. Giant has made a commitment and holds customer service in...

    Best Lock for fat tire bike.

    This is almost too good to be true. A lock that will protect your bike and is light and easy to carry. I have mine wrapped around the seat bag. Ottolock is the company and product. Be sure to watch the videos on their site and YouTube, it's an indestructible locking zip tie...

    E-bike recco for new member, 6'3" 230lb male?

    I would give a hard look at Emotion bikes. The parent company is a 100 yr bike manufacturer,hence choice of frame sizes. Fit is still critical. Good quality components with company support. Bring a little more $ to the table and look at haibike. Best of luck in your search.

    Converted my Haibike Cross to a Dura Ace Road Bike

    The Haibike conversion is really nice, especially when you have the spare parts on hand.

    Why isn't there a "Type" for Road Bikes?

    That's a nice bike but it would never fly with someone who rides a road bike. Everything is incorrect including the geometry which can't be changed. Shfters, brakes, gears,wheels, tires.gears........the list goes on and on as to the changes required..

    Why isn't there a "Type" for Road Bikes?

    I agree on all counts with Alan and look forward to more productive comments. I'm 67 and for a variety of reasons I need some assistance in order to ride. I purchased a Giant Road-E and I'm in love. Back riding with my bike club and no issues with keeping up. Court, keep up the great work.

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

    Thank you and very well done. I look forward to people's comments. I absolutely love my bike, and did return for a replacement of the front derailleur cable. Shimano has a coating on the cable that sometimes sloughs off and gums up the housing etc. Shop replaced at N/C, and without...
