A new version of Giant's Ride Control (version 1.4.4 ) App is available for Android to upgrade e-Bike firmware. I installed it with no problems but no idea what if any changes have been make . Typical Giant Corp. customer communication style.

The "Whats New" description for this version on the Google and Apple Apps Store sites states as follows:

We have a small firmware upgrade for your bike making the Smart assist mode easier to access. Simply hold your UP or DOWN button to enter smart assist mode. To exit smart assist mode simply press UP or DOWN to go back to ACTIVE mode. We also fixed some small connection bugs to make the app easier to use and it’s also Dark mode compatible!

1.4.4. Oops! We made a little mistake in the last update. Although we improved access to your Smart Assist Mode we accidentally changed how the Smart Assist worked. This update will allow you to update your bike and fix the algorithms of your Smart Assist mode. You can still find the Smart Assist mode by holding the UP or DOWN button.

Presumably this will stop the ‘power surging’ issue many of us have experienced. That’ll be nice.
