Giant 2017 E Bikes
- Thread starter Geome
- Start date
I have a 2016 Giant road e+1 which has a km only display but really it's not much of a problem and there was a HUGE saving on this bike over the 2017 model which I was informed has a changeable display. (But don't take my word check with your retailer)
You could always fit a cycle computer or a Garmin and still be many hundreds of pounds better off.
Hargreaves Cycles
2016 Road e+1 £2300
2017 Road e+1 £3200
My view...
It's not too much of an issue but I would pay the extra and get the UK display . I think you get other improvements besides the mph thing.
After brexit we won't be allowed to use it if it's still in kph.
Probably have to scrap it....[emoji102] [emoji102]

For an extra £900 I would want a lot more than the display in MPH.
Yes but dont forget that you would be buying a discounted 2016 bike. You have to pay a premium f you want the latest kit.
Do you really believe that the new model is £900 better than yours ?
So; MPH on the display, colour changing paint, two batteries, cocktail cabinet.
No I dont, and I think you are missing my point.. I bought mine when they were first offered for sale in the UK it was £2750. So you are now comparing a discounted year old 2016 model to the latest one which is £450 more than I paid, but considerably more than the discounted price of the year old bike.. Its the same with any bike is it not?
Sorry I forgot to add..
If I were buying it I would pay extra for the new bike rather than last years at a discount.. whatever bike it was.

I can't leave a horrible post like that up
I only posted to see if Gubbins would bite.

Not bitter at all.. re- reading my posts I dont know where you got that from...
1/ There is no part exchange value as most bike shops dont do it..
2/ If it was a problem I would just sell it on ebay cheap and buy another.
3/ I think the 2017 bike is exactly the same but with a different display module
which I thought was Bluetooth enabled but not sure about that and wont know until someone buys one and tells us.
4/ I have never been worried or upset about loosing a few quid on deals thats just life!!
In fact I traded my car in at Christmas for 10K less than I paid for it 3 years ago, and the new one lost 5K as I drove it out of the showroom (well, truthfully they wouldn't let me actually drive it out) so ..
But back to the case in hand..
The question wasn't was I feeling bitter and twisted because my display is in KMS, and would I trade up the the new model, it was would I buy the latest one for £900 more than last years, and Yes I would!
Each to their own. 
If both models were virtually the same spec, but one was a year older. I'd probably go for the older one myself. Mainly because I plan to ride it hard and it would be equally as battered in a month or so, at any price.

That's what fishing is all about.. tbh i was a bit worried you were having a meltdown...[emoji56]
I have to add this tho.
It's a cracking bike.. the best I have ever owned and I would recommend it to anyone however much the cost or what model..
