Note that the sensor on mine was held on with a security torx screw that requires a special tool to remove. And yes, it goes like stink, and burns the brakes, and the battery. If you get too far away and it can't pick it up, it will shut down the whole system. It will stick there and as long as it's close enough to the sensor it will work. In fact, you can simply take the magnet off the spoke and stick it on the end of the pedal axle on the inside of the crank. I tested out the sensor re-lo and crank magnet. It makes a little more whirring noise when it's cold, when you first get on it, but goes quiet as soon as it gets some run time. Before I paid a bunch of $$ for an eMTB I would want to try out all the big players, but the little yammer always gets high marks from knowledgeable testers. Yes, same yamaha drive - they're fantastic. In any case, IMO it's way nicer than the all black 2020 model. But then I rode dirtbikes for fifty years and you get used to 'kawaski green', even if you never owned one. Thanks for all the info guysįunny, I liked the green. Also if somebody did change out fork or the spring please let me know what you did and how it worked out.

Please let me know how you unlocked limiter. Hell i not even sure my bike will connect to the app as its a 2018. Did you flop the sensor and put a magnet on your crank? Did you buy a speedbox? Could you do it in giant app? 2019 has the syncdrive sport right? My bike is different as it has the charge display mudule and only 3 levels of assist. What i would like to know is how you over rode the speed sensor. Anyways I bought the bike and gonna pick it up in a day or so. I can live with the big green Giant decal on battery and paint on top tube (maybe i can get blk giant sticker for battery). I looked and saw that the green stickers would come off of forks and rims and i could put some black reflective tape over the green paint on chain stays. They said they would put them on my rims for another $100 bucks. Had mechanic take a rear tire off of one of thier specialized mtb and a 29x2.3 barely fit, looked real nice. When i went back in the store he said ok ill thake $1500. Nice and quite and about same performance. I was curious about the yamaha motor and wanted to try it out so i took it for a ride anyways(i have a trek with the bosch performance cx and wanted to compare). Still wasnt sold(hated those skinny tires and green accents). We talked for a while and he said he would take $1900 for it. The owner of this store said 'i would really like to get rid of that bike'. I was eyeballing the giant because i was at another store that had the same bike and said they would sell it for 2K but it was at thier other store. No more giants but some really nice Specialized. They had a 2018 +3 sitting on the floor with a $2400 price tag on it.
