Hi I originally had the AXA Blueline 50 installed on the original fork which had the same screw(hole) config as yours. The bracket fastens on easily - it just rests on the top of the fork with the 'down bracket' hooking over the back to be attached using a short bolt (Can't remember the 'M'...

ALSO Thought I'd mention the Yamaha motor 1. When you hit 25kph - there is no motor drag - you are pushing the bike - not the motor as well 2. Cadence - you need to practice getting your gearing and cadence right- especially on steep uphills which vary in gradient - the motor seems to run out of...

I've covered about 1500km - mainly off road - I live close to the fun stuff (500 metres) so hardly have to ride on roads. No breakdowns or serious failures in two years - I keep the chain and running gear clean and lubed - New brake pads once - and keep the brakes bled and tight. The rest is...

Great bike - I have a Giant Dirt E+1 - it's a great ride - and so much fun - and still going strong. Have made a few upgrades - but a good all round eMTB to start with - and the '2' - better spec- better colour scheme !! and good value - good choice

Hi Chris Only suggestion would be to check the output with a meter - don't have one here at the moment to see what output I'm getting - will check at weekend.

Is the connector & wire on you bike the same as in Setcion / Pic 6 in the PDF link Mine is Grey & white also - the red / black I mentioned is on the connector that I added (SM 2.5 2 PIN JST) - mine came with male plug at one end - and female socket a the other end - I just lopped off the make...

Revisiting what I did (it's been a while) - look like mine is the same - maybe could have made the instructions easier to follow for this. I just soldered an extra wire on - so two red wires soldered to the single red cable on the connector - and two blacks to the single black cable on the...

Hi Chris Can't find the tech spec for the bike - but seem to remember that the front can power 12v okay with 6v at the rear. I have an AXA Blueline on the front - rated at 6v and a Busch & Müller rear - rated for 5-15 volts. They work great and are fine for road / canal bank use - did the mod...

Looks like Giant have changed the connectors on later models. I bought a ready made up connector - combination of the Farnell Parts you mentioned - as I thought that was correct. I was following a huge thread on a German emtb site which went into great detail - but was focussed on Haibike...

That sounds dead boring to me !

No worries Robin, I'm just glad it's of use. I agree that it would be great if Giant - and other manufacturers would supply decent service manuals / information - but I suppose that the franchised sellers might not be too happy about it !

Hi Robin I've created a PDF version to download - edited slightly - all images intact https://tinyurl.com/y8s386fb Cheers Mike

What a pain in the bum I'll put together a fresh file - probably a PDF and add a link - then I'll see if I can find an alternative to photobucket and update the page - or add a fresh post to replace Cheers Mike

Seems like the thread has go a bit away from the OP's intention - but certainly lots of interesting points about the related technology, physiology etc. @IronLung If you are anywhere near the E. Lancashire / West Yorkshire border - I'll be happy to let you have a go on my e-MTB so see if it...

For some reason one of the images above - removal of Left Hand Trim has disappeared Here it is for reference.

I've never come across the Orbea brand before - but the bikes look good and the spec is close to many other entry level Bosh powered pedecs. I suspect that for the majority of riders - the standard of kit will be just fine - but any any 'average' parts can always be upgraded gradually to...

I've just finishing wiring in some lights on my Giant E+ Dirt 2016. There are quite a few threads around the internet that show how to install lights - but these are generally for the Haibike variants. The Giant install is slightly different - some fiddly trim - and different connectors - so I...

Following up on Phill's thoughts on the Giant Road E Thought I'd share similar on the Giant Dirt E After three weeks with the E+Dirt Getting used to riding again - ‘Bike Craft’ and confidence improving rapidly. Love the bike - but if I could change anything - and these are minor blips - and...

Thanks for the feedback Kiwi - and the useful link Cheers Mike
