    FATHOM E+ 3 experience?

    ✝ Liv Intrigue E+ Pro June 2020 - September 2020 Well in my case the store said that my problem is a 'known problem' that the factory is trying to find a solution for but... they don't have one yet. They took it back in for a couple weeks but with no solution in sight and no replacement bikes...

    FATHOM E+ 3 experience?

    Bike has been in the shop for twice now, first time for 11 days, now 15 days with no end in sight. I have asked Giant to provide a refund, super unhappy with the 'reliability' or lack there off, I guess, with this bike. I have to drag every answer out of Giant and they take 0 initiative...

    FATHOM E+ 3 experience?

    I was loving the bike for a bit there but I've been having some issues: the drop post cable malfunctioned and not too long after, while on a ride, the bike shut itself off intermittently. In the end, not turning on at all anymore! It's been in the shop for a week now with no answers yet. Bit...

    FATHOM E+ 3 experience?

    Yeah as soon as I got home I mounted the seat of my regular hardtail on it. That seat is super comfy. Not sure why on a 6500$, the can't put s decent seat on haha! Regarding the tires, are they tubeless? I thought just tubeless ready.

    FATHOM E+ 3 experience?

    So I enjoyed the Fathom for about 3 months... and I just sold it this weekend. There was nothing wrong with the bike, but I do not need it as a commuter anymore (situation changed). I was always taking the bike on trails and going to more advanced trails, and the Fathom isn't made for that. So I...

    FATHOM E+ 3 experience?

    Glad to hear you are loving it. I took it on some pretty challenging MTB trails and it still did great. What is SmartAssist? Haha, never heard of it? Maybe I should read my manual....

    FATHOM E+ 3 experience?

    I did the firmware upgrade and now it works. It still makes some noise when I am going fast down hill, but need to go to the shor for that, won't do so until this virus slows down. Did take the bike on some blue BC trails today, it surely took a beating but it really helps me improve my skills...

    FATHOM E+ 3 experience?

    Had the bike for a couple weeks, loving it. Took it on my crazy hometrail which was fun BUT the 'walk button' did not work. I had to push the bike up a steep rocky hill and it did.... nothing. Anyone else experienced this? Also, when I go downhill fast, the bikes (near the gears I think) makes...

    Hybrid? Roadbike? Hardtail?

    Congrats on the bike for your wife, that is great. I added a couple things as well but they weren't in yet and I didn't want to wait haha so I got the bare-bones bike, added pedals and grips and rack/fenders/ wheels for when I need it as a roadbike will come in the next week or so. My shop was...

    Hybrid? Roadbike? Hardtail?

    Picked her up today and immediately took her on a ride from my mountain down to the ocean. It was so,so awesome! In general, I used level 1 or 2, but for the climbs 3 and some really steep ones on the way home 4 or 5 (there are some very, very steep hills). I've been to places today that I would...

    Info overload on first ebike help. 4 months of research

    I just wen trough the process and settled on the Giant Fathom E+, because I can take it to commute, offroad, local service and the price was the best. Why are you 'against' the brand specific stores?

    Hybrid? Roadbike? Hardtail?

    Will definitely do! Can hardly wait the full week. Honestly, without this forum I would have not known about Giant (the dealer is 30 minutes away vs a couple LBS in 15 minutes). It has been incredibly helpful.

    Hybrid? Roadbike? Hardtail?

    I did ride it, but I wouldn't be able to take it on my local trail. Commuting would be 30% of use, playing on trails the other 70%, which is why I am leaning towards the HT.
