June 19, 20187 yr there are 2 dongles one for the evo display and one for the sync drive one. the bike you want has evo display so you need that dongle. dealers can and will void the hole warranty on the bike if they know you have fitted one so dont tell them anything. and if that is ur real name then change it asap as they look on this forum and ur fucked!
June 19, 20187 yr you could also use this https://www.ebiketuning.com/shop/yamaha/redped-for-yamaha-syncdrive-evo-or-charge-display.html and the guys you tube page is here if you get stuck fitting it or need help. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj2JXQ8nVoyOQ98t8ZDUldg/featured
June 20, 20187 yr it depends on gearing and how fast you can spin the cranks but with what i got can hit well over 30mph on the flat @120rpm in bursts. this also nukes the battery on any bike as you cant have speed and range. but you can over take easy
June 20, 20187 yr Author Ye that's fine for me. Two local shops stock the giant so I'll see who can do the best deal.
June 20, 20187 yr Hi James. We have been talking to Bike Base regarding your bike choice. If you are interested in the Wildcat, they will be here in 4 weeks now. We have one here in Sevenoaks that you would be very welcome to test ride. All the best, David
June 20, 20187 yr If you are interested in the Wildcat, they will be here in 4 weeks now. James quizzed me about the warranty. You know about the Olympic Bike Park at Hadleigh, on red runs. When I said we don't guarantee for off-roading, I had to explain 'why not?'. I understand that the Haibike rep also said no. What would be your position on down hilling on one of your bikes? Would you guarantee the bike?
June 20, 20187 yr Author Thanks Wisper still considering all the options. i spoke to Rutland cycling who recommended the turbo levo https://www.rutlandcycling.com/bikes/electric-bikes/specialized-turbo-levo-ht-comp-6fattie-2018-electric-mountain-bike_381835 It's a bit more but better gears and forks than the Giant which he thought was quite expensive for what you get. Also then get the Brose motor 90nm that I haven't tried yet.
June 20, 20187 yr Author Specialized Turbo Levo HT Comp 6Fattie 2018 Another day. Another bike that got recommended to me by Rutland cycling. Any opinions on the Specialized Turbo Levo HT Comp 6Fattie 2018? I'm going to test ride it on Saturday but any opinions are welcome! Keen to see how the Brose motor compares to the Yamaha pw-x in the Giant I rode the other day.
June 20, 20187 yr i have only seen a few post from ppl with brose Specialized brand bikes so hope the dealer is close if anything goes wrong. as they was not impressed with the amount of time the dealers needed to take to sort out a motor replacement or other problems as they had not got a clue in the first place.

Ye 25mins away. Going to Rutland cycling on Saturday. They have an open day to test all their bikes. And they have loads of different models. I still can't see anything topping the Giant when it comes to the motor but I'll see on Saturday.

June 21, 20187 yr Author I don't guess there's many places you could even do 200mph for 20mins anyway. You'd need 67 miles of perfectly straight road.
June 21, 20187 yr Author Tried a Cube bike today and tried the Giant again. For me at my weight nothing compares to the Giants syncdrive motor. The bosch cx on the cube felt like being powered by a hairdryer in comparison. So i went ahead and bought the Giant dirt e +2 pro. Should be in Tuesday.. Can't wait.

I'm no expert as the only ebike I've ever ridden is a Yamaha powered Haibike. But I love it.
June 22, 20187 yr Author congratulations! BTW, this is the first time that somebody compared the Bosch CX to a hair dryer! lol. Lol , only in comparison. I rode it only 20mins before so it was fresh in my mind. Maybe it's because it's pulling a lot of weight. With a 10st rider things may be different for someone else , I don't know.. With the Bosch the power isn't instant and I always had to pedal to move. With the Yamaha it was like a caged animal waiting to pounce lol. I could speed along fast just turning the crank if I liked. And I got up some really steep grass banks with ease. Also tried a full sus giant which was really nice, but too expensive for me. Managed to get a few hundred off too to ease the pain slightly.

The only reason I didn't really look at Haibikes much was the weight limits. I'm a few stone over. At least I know with this Giant that I'm a stone under the max weight limit , so they can't argue anything if I go to do a warranty claim for a busted frame. The first ebike I rode was a Yamaha powered haibike and was really impressed. Edited June 22, 20187 yr by Jamie82

I can understand the cx SOUNDING like a hairdryer however it should be six of one and half a dozen of the other power wise!
