    Crankset Failure and Deceptive Specifications on Giant Electric Mountain Bikes

    Thanks for sharing. Just wanted to post a quick reply that a few weeks ago, I hit my pedal on a rock (hidden in grass) at 12+ mph and it spun me and the bike around and threw me off the bike. My crank arm was bent from the impact with the rock. In my case, it seems like if I had a inferior...

    Giant Full E+1 Initial thoughts and quick review

    Been too busy enjoying the ride to post my thoughts on the Di2, new tires, etc. But it's been awesome! I just picked up a Feiyu WG 3-Wearable Gimbal for GoPro and the video is so smooth.

    Xduro FullSeven 7.0 vs. Xduro AllMtn 7.0 vs. Sduro AllMtn 6.5- which one - any advice?

    Congrats on the purchase! I agree with the comment about the Yamaha motor - it's excellent. I don't have a single complaint about it. I ended up buying the Giant Full E+1 and it's been amazing. I'm starting to post some info about it over on the Giant forum...

    Giant Full E+1 Initial thoughts and quick review

    Just wanted to post an update that I ended up buying the Full E+1. I've been on three rides now (10+ miles each) and it's been great; all on the same battery charge. My initial impressions are still true. My last ride had some large drops and the bike handled like a champ - utilizing the full...

    Powerfly 8 FS

    Good find Larry...almost gave me 2nd thoughts about my choice. The Giant Full E uses the Syncdrive Sport (not PRO) so it only has 3 levels. However, I found that the lowest setting was fine for trail riding. The highest setting was actually too powerful..but fun. I'm still trying to get a...

    Powerfly 8 FS

    Well, I decided to go with the Giant. In the end, it came down to the fact I had the chance to demo the bike on the trails and I was very happy with it. I'm sure that the Trek would've been just as good, if not better but with a $5K purchase, it's hard not to go with what's known. A small...

    Powerfly 8 FS

    I thought about starting a new post but I hope it's ok that I added it here. I was talking with another shop about the Giant Full E+1 before I ordered the Powerfly and they called me after I ordered the Trek and let me demo the Giant over the weekend and it was great. Now, I don't know which...

    Giant Full E+1 Initial thoughts and quick review

    I haven't seen much info about this bike so I thought I'd post my initial impressions after my ride today. First, I've actually ordered the Trek Powerfly FS 8 and I'm waiting to receive it within the week. Before I bought the Trek, the local giant dealer had the Full E but it was unavailable...

    Powerfly 8 FS

    Just ordered the 17.5! If the shop gives me a good deal, I'm hoping to swap to the XT Di2 electric shifting. Can't wait!

    Powerfly 8 FS

    Hey guys - thanks for posting your experiences with the Powerfly FS8. I'm leaning towards ordering one this weekend and was wondering if could share what other FS bikes you considered and why you went with the Powerfly. Also, did you pay the retail price of $5000? Also, I'm 5'6" with a...

    Xduro FullSeven 7.0 vs. Xduro AllMtn 7.0 vs. Sduro AllMtn 6.5- which one - any advice?

    Just a quick update, I had the chance to demo the Xduro AllMtn 7.0 - amazing! Did some great single track trails for 10+ miles - I was really worried about the lack of standover but it wasn't as bad as I thought. The only thing holding me back is the added sprocket seems to be noisy - it creates...

    Santa will arrive tomorrow for me: XDURO AllMtn 7.0!

    Cuajinais - I test rode the same bike on some good single track and it's awesome! I'm going to buy this or the Trek Powerfly FS8 and was wondering if your Haibike makes a grinding/rubbing noise from the top sprocket - it's not super loud but it was noticeable. Also, can you share what size...

    Xduro FullSeven 7.0 vs. Xduro AllMtn 7.0 vs. Sduro AllMtn 6.5- which one - any advice?

    After I posted, I found the comparison tool but I'm still not sure what the difference is between the Xduro FullSeven and Xduro AllMtn. Is it only parts? or is the frame or ride feel different?
