The giant has a lower bottom bracket than my buddies road bike. as well, the q may be slightly wider and that could add to the problem when you lean over. My buddy drags the odd pedal if he tries to pedal some corners.
Sorry to hear of your motor problem
What kind of mileage have you done and how old is your bike? obviously it must be quite new as its still in warranty so thats not good!Sorry to hear of your motor problem
My Road E+1 Pro is exactly the same age as yours and I have covered 1000 miles more, I will be interested to see the outcome! It sucks not having your bike but at least it will be fixed under warranty, it would be a very expensive fix out of warranty...I hope you get it back soon!
Congrats on your new bike, I hope you have many fun rides on it
I have the 2018 European model (15.5mph cut off) with the EVO display and there is no way to change the wheel size as far as I know! I have very slight resistance past the 15.5mph cut off, is it possible you are in too big a gear and just need to drop down a cog or two and increase your cadence? Even when the Scottish weather bites me on the bum
That's not good news, makes you wonder if its something other than the motor! Or maybe they put the old motor back in...I hope you get it sorted soon!
I experimented yesterday on a long mild descent where I could coast about 32mph. In Eco mode when I pedalled it felt like a very strong resistance. Switching motor off, it definitely felt less resistance in pedaling though nowhere as resistance free and light as my regular road bike. Hard to get a direct sense of things because the difference in weight between the bikes.
I am a brand new e-biker! After more than 100K miles on regular bikes this is very different. It's going to require a learning curve to get use to for sure. Thanks for the congrats!Congrats on your new bike, I hope you have many fun rides on it
The bike is over 44 lbs and when you are no longer receiving assistance from the motor its a hefty bike compared to an acoustic bike so it might take some time to get used to the added weight! Of course you may already be an e-biker with years of experience so apologies if that is the case. I do recall a bit more resistance when my bike was new but after 5,178 miles its defintely less noticable! I used to think there was less resistance with the motor off but now I can't say I notice any difference! After almost 17 months I just can't get enough of this amazing bike, I genuinely smile everytime I sit on it
I'm sure you will soon get used to it and yes its very different! I got home from work tonight and it was a lovely evening for a ride so I repeated a ride I did last Thursday and it was a total blast, just under 37 miles and 3,300 ft of climbing which is where this bike excels
If I did this on my acoustic bike I wouldn't be fit for work tomorrow I'm sure once you get more miles under your belt you will love the e bike and you should notice the motor resistance easing a bit, I hardly notice it now!
Moved the magnet to the crank no more cut out now it's a dream to ride smooth fast 50kph on a nice flat road
