Read the story about my Giant Full-E 0 “Maybe its you”, your weight I was told by the Giant Bicycles South Africa Agent Michael, Gert and Andrew of (Dragon Sport) in a meeting of arrogance and no compromise blaming the consumer for faults to their bike that I don’t believe has been tested fully and to tell me that I might be to fat for the bike, surely its my fault that in the last 1500km 3months that I have broken the following:- • Chain Ring • Bolts lost on the crank • New Motor (Apparently Seized due to mud) • Bike returned without Chain • 4 LCD Screens Replaced Due to Water • 4 Cassettes (Shimano-MTB SA Each lasting about 300Km) • Fox 34 Factory Fork Cracked • Rear Hub Bearings • Headset Bearings This has all to do with my weight and is entirely my fault, I wash my bike after every ride and I look after my bike but never have I had issues like this before and yes Dragons Blames me. My Giant EBike (Giant Durbanville) also has a 32km/h limit sticker but only goes 25km/h they refuse to correct this I was simply told it’s a mistake. If no one has gathered this is my Giant Ebike (Giant Cape Town) that is designed to “TAKE YOUR TRAIL RIDING TO NEW HEIGHTS. THE FULL-E+ Pro GIVES YOU THE POWER TO CLIMB HIGHER AND RIDE ALL DAY” let me tell you a little about riding all day my bike has 5 ride settings but I use ECO and POWER the most, my bike tells me that on ECO I should get 144km I get 42km, on POWER I should get 68km I get 20km “it must be your weight!!!” I weight 106kg the limit of the bike is 150kg I was also told in the meeting this morning that I should maybe ride another brand, I think every person that is considering buying a Giant should try another brand. There has been a shining light through this whole process Giant Cape Town has been stars (Lee, Tom and all the boys) you guys are great. (Giant Cape Town) I have been up and down with this bike about 15 times to Cape town and back, taken time trying to resolve my issues on the back of an independent store (Giant Cape Town) with no assistance from the arrogant Distributor (Dragon Sport) So if you are overweight fat, lazy, or just want to use your bike everyday avoid Dragons and go and buy a Trek Bicycle, Specialized Bicycles or any brand that these guys are not involved in YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!

I think everyone missed my HAHA in the last sentence and misread it, there was no malice intended it was merely we should all just get along and enjoy the pleasure of being outdoors and riding a bike, as usual most people read it wrong and sparks fly again, next time you see an e-bike on the trail say hi it might be me.

So to all the purest out there i say get off your multi-speed bikes and ride a single speed in its purest cycling form before you complain and be Hippocrates, you are cheating as much as me on my e-bike, yes i did my once a week Saturday or Sunday ride killed me couldn't keep up with my mates and didn't like cycling, e-biking has changed that for me i cycle every day at least 30km on trails i would never even think of doing and enjoying life, getting fit and exploring out beautiful city. to the hatters out there consider the facts that you might be a dying breed and that e-bikes are out selling conventional bikes 2 to 1 the tables might turn in the future and you might feel like the outcast. as long as im having fun getting fit and can ride with my mates i will continue doing my e-bike thing, i weigh a 115kg and look forward to the purest making comment as they cycle past me remember im faster with my pedal assist and you should have a few good reasons why i shouldn't be on the trail at that point.... haha boys you are all to serious life is way to complicated to add a e-bike vs pedal power to the mix just chill greet each other and share what beauty we were given to explore.
