Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

It would be nice if they could have a definite answer. Whenever I hear of "wiring harness" replacements, I think "someone is guessing", although at least they are doing something...

You and a few other members with MY21's have had similar issues - all on Pro motors I think.
@DaveMatthews - what's the word on your Stance?
@LouLouLePew hasn't had his resolved yet on his Explore, although our ride yesterday was without any incidents, and I think his Sunday ride out in Bragg Creek was OK too.

In regards to video, I wonder how wide the average handlebar is on the local trail building crews.
I sure see why you cut yours down, although the camera probably makes those gaps narrower than they really are.

I've had this ready for a while and perhaps today is the day!

My Stance is still in the shop now waiting for a wiring harness. When I called this past Tuesday I was told that Giant is swamped and that it might take a "while". Not sure what that means. I do have patience and still have my Fathom to ride, but at some point my patience will run out. He did say he'd try to escalate my issue.
PS @RandallS my motor is the Sport variant.

my motor is the Sport variant.

Darn it - I should know that...

I think we can all agree that your admonishment should be for something slightly more important!

41 miles into a 66 mile ride. Ebike or not, I'm getting tired

Took a shorter route home

The odometer is correct according to GPS when wheel size is set to 27 instead of 28"
It's hard to tell how much charge is left in the battery, it is a 48v 10ah LiFePO4 that charges to 57.6v full, drops fairly quickly to 53-54v then just sits there. I assume that when the battery capacity gets very low it will just drop off quickly. The display voltage always reads 1-1.5v below the actual voltage (also checked with a high quality digital meter).

Another great ride down to Mud Bay.



Gorgeous weather lately

Looking upriver towards Hope?

Headed up the Middle Fork valley towards the Sisters on a beautiful afternoon Saturday; hit snow and had to turn around at about 3000 feet, but a glorious ride nonetheless.

Looking upriver towards Hope?

No sir, looking West (-:

Absolutely!

Here's another Southern California regional park where we biked.

 

[FIDI_G]

Specialized Epic Comp FS with BBSHD, Lekki Bling Ring 42T, and em3ev 17ah. Great for light trail riding or nice comfy commuter.

10 mile loop out from my house. Part road and bike/walking path. Up and down hill with very little flat. No problem on the ebike

The tech at the shop where I dropped off the Trance discovered a corroded connector below the charging socket bracket which he feels is to blame for the Trance’s brief but unexpected power shut down. I believe it’s the main power wire coming directly from the motor. He cleaned the affected connector, applied dielectric grease, updated the firmware and installed the new wire harness. I’ll pick the bike up tomorrow morning and give it a thorough test ride. Big thumbs up to Don at Red’s in Lacombe, AB for sleuthing the mystery out of this specific bug.

Sometimes you have to build the trail before you ride it....

That corrosion occurred very, very, quickly. You got the bike mid February if memory serves me correctly. With all the snow riding, it must have got in there and just sat.
Is your garage heated?

I have doubts that it could have been snow. However, I did slosh through some pretty wicked wet gloop a couple of times back in March along the Heritage Trail. One memorable ride was at night when thaw conditions were well underway. If that's the case, then I have little faith in how these bikes are put together. Our garage is insulated but not heated so it still remains relatively cold in there throughout the winter season and the battery was removed each time when I returned home from a ride.
