3 years agoThanks again Dave! I had a blast learning about your Giant Stance E+ 2 and just hanging out, the ride after was really fun and we should go again sometime :D

3 years agoHi, may I speak to someone who knows about the above product? Giant Stance E and Giant Explore E+ GTS. And anything that can do a good range of 120km/charge, speed 45km, service and spare parts obtainable.
Thanks

3 years agoHi Nigel! I don’t sell any electric bikes, just provide reviews, videos, a directory of ebike dealers where you could find a local Giant dealership, and an electric bike forum where you can get feedback from other visitors. There’s one other useful resource here, and that’s the Class 3 ebikes category where you can see other high speed 28mph / 45kmh electric bikes. I hope this helps!

3 years agoHi Court, saw and read your review and bought the bike on a good deal here in Germany partly based on it, so thank you and Dave ;)!
I do have one question. I live near a nice woody, hilly area which is unusual for Hamburg. There are some trails with some small humps, bumps and jumps. As I am a beginner and I don’t think I will ever trust in my ability to do some crazy downhill riding and jumping, would you say the suspension on this bike should have no issues with some blue trails?
Many thanks and keep up the good work. Best regards from Germany,

3 years agoHi Pawel, it sounds like you’re in a really nice spot there! Glad you were able to find a bike that works, especially if you got a good deal on it. These Giant products seemed to be well made to me, and the Stance E+ 2 is definitely trail capable. The 120mm suspension is rated for cross country, and my understanding is that means it will perform well at higher speeds, on gravel, medium bumps, and small to medium rocks and stumps. This is not a fake mountain bike… one that appears to be capable but uses cheap parts. In my opinion, it uses great parts and would be more than adequate for your blue trails, depending on your weight and how well you keep it cleaned and tuned up. My understanding is that most ebikes are tested with a 170lb ride when gathering range data, and they are usually rated up to 250lbs. I hope this gives you some insights! Another tip is to keep the tire pressure between the recommended PSI rating, which I list on almost all of the reviews here. Sounds like you’re going to have a blast!! Good luck, and take your time learning the jumps ;)

3 years agoHi Court, many thanks for the thorough response. It’s very helpful and one I was hoping for ;) I’m at 195lb so a little over the test weight. Will try to follow your advice on keeping the bike clean and tuned up. Thanks again and best regards, Pawel

2 years agoOutstanding review, Court – thank you! Your review helped me make my decision to buy the 2022 Stance e+2, size large. I’ve taken it out for one run so far – on single track that includes some steep, long climbs and some flowy slow declines with technical sections. I love it.
I also have a 2021 Roam GTS so I was already familiar with Giant’s Ride Controller set up, which I have found easy to use and intuitive once you learn it.
The removable battery set up on the Stance is similar to the Roam, except it’s a bottom dropout instead of Roam’s side swing out along with the gasket and key latch on the Stance that you referenced. I like the Roam’s better because it’s a bit easier to pull out the batter than on the Stance. But still easy enough, which was an important criteria for me since I keep my bikes in my garage and don’t want the batteries getting roasted in 100+ degree summer heat for months at a time.
Regarding the battery charger, my Stance came with a 4 amp smart charger, not the 6 amp that was advertised (I posted up about this here over in the Giant forum). Ultimately I’m not bothered about the smaller sized charger – not like I’m stopping after 40-50 miles of mountain riding and having to wait for a quick charge so I can keep going. And I appreciate the smart feature, which the Roam’s charger does not have (and I don’t think I can use the smart one on the Roam – different plug interface).
So after one ride I’m loving my Stance and I’m pretty sure I made the right choice – it’s a high quality package for a very reasonable price (I got mine on sale). Oh – and the new tangerine orange metal flake paint job is gorgeous.
Love these reviews – ride on!

2 years agoHey Tman9999, your comment made my day! I’m so happy these reviews helped guide you to a great bike. It sounds like you have a great attitude and are making the best of the charger. I hope I wasn’t mixed up… sometimes staff at these shops will give me the wrong thing or not know. Since I don’t have as much time with the bike as a true owner, and am usually most focused on the bike itself, it’s possible I was mistaken. In any case, the slower charger might be gentler with the battery cells and help them to hold up longer! That’s one positive. Thanks again for sharing your experience with me and others here with your comment :)

2 years agoNo, you weren’t mixed up at all, Court. Giant’s website for this model says 6A charger. I agree, it’s probably better on battery life to use the less powerful 4A charger.
