    Firmware updates and 'Service' query

    Hey, this probably applies to more than just Momentums or Yamaha motors, but wondering about where I can hear about Firmware updates for my bike... Do I have to take it to the LBS? Is this what is 'updated' through the Giant app I use when the 'updates' come through? Also, my app tells me...

    Does Bosch, Brose and Shimano plan on making their own branded eBikes

    I‘m new to the bicycle community. I’ve learned a couple of things (I think). The three biggest bicycle manufacturing companies (by revenue) are Giant, Trek and Merida. Giant not only makes the frames for themselves but also for Pinarello, Colnago and Canyon (to name a few). Trek manufactures...

    Yamaha YPJ-MT Pro

    Hello, I visited a bike show a number of months back and saw a prototype/concept bike from Yamaha which I thought looked really cool, down to 80s styling. https://global.yamaha-motor.com/jp/showroom/event/tokyo-motorshow-2019/exhibitionmodels/ypj-yz/ Unfortunately they didn't keep that...

    Yamaha PW motor bearings service

    I've recently watched the video from performancelinebearings.com I noticed he used some kind of hydraulic machine to get out some of the bearings. I was considering doing the bearings myself but I don't have such a machine + it's too expensive for using once every year or two. Those of you on...

    Is Brose less powerful or more "natural"? And should I buy it?

    Giant dirt e battery

    Hi I have a giant dirt e and when I charge to 100 percent it quickly drops to 97 within minutes of riding. Should I discharge battery or is it fault but I do seem to roughly get the range that is displayed in the different modes of assist.

    Dirt-E 2

    I'm going to make a confession right off. I'm not a habitual or regular trail rider. The main reason I got the Dirt-e was because it was the most available ebike in my locality and it had the best aftersales support. I got the 2016 spec with the 400 Wh battery. It's the International version...

    Choosing between motor systems: bosch, currie, yamaha

    Please help me decide which system makes the most sense. Bosch seems the best from his reviews but it's also the most expensive. I'll be commuting 30miles round trip with the option to recharge half way. I've got lots of hills to climb. What do you think?
