No JE James very kindly sent me a rubber sleeve to slide over the connection. I did however apply ACF50 to the replacement ride control switch. Dario

Hi chap Just to repeat that I had the same problem which was solved when I was given a replacement display under warranty. What happened next was that the controller started playing up when exposed to the rain. Again this appears to have been solved by fitting a replacement unit under warranty...

Hi Guys First time out in heavy rain (it was only an hour though) on Sunday with updated function switch. Pleased to report no issues whatsoever. Hopefully this is the end of problems when riding in the rain. I will of course post updates as i have them. Dario

To the OP. I am sorry that i appear to have hijacked your thread. If you would rather i start a new thread just say. New parts arrived (function button, wiring loom and display). First up tried everything as was. Dropped the battery into the frame and the display DID NOT boot up. Pressed the...

Just off the phone to James at JE James cycles. James was very helpful. It appears the problem lies with the switch. Not that Giant are admitting this but they have released an updated (read more water resistant) switch. For his part James will send me the new switch. Not only this James is...

Hi woosh.I hear what you are saying but not sure i would agree if you are saying it's normal for displays to fogg up. I am a motorcyclist and i got out in all weather. My bikes have LCD displays and i have never had one fogg up (even when left damp and wet in the garage). I think we all can...

It's not the display now thats causing the problem. First display fogged up. Replacement display fitted on Sunday. Tested and was working fine. Went out for a ride and it started raining. When i got home the display would not switch off. Yes you could turn it off but it would immediately reboot...

Thanks Rob. I have the bike in kitchen at the moment. Have taken the plastic bash plate off. Was not much moisture there but have dried it up. In the next week or so i shall drop the motor down and then give the connections/plugs a good spray of ACF 50. Hopefully this will stop this happening in...

Apologies to the OP as it appears as if i am taking over their thread. An IP rating of 66 or 67 would be much better. Update on display. Just switched over to the original display and that to is now powering on independently and reboots as soon as its turned off. So this appears to be a new...

Hi Rob Thanks for the info. Please excuse my ignorance but what is it that I need to disconnect? As I see it there are two cables that connect to the display. Other than that I don't see anything else. Your help is much appreciated. Dario

IP rated? IP 67 or IP 68 Dario

Well got round to changing my display yesterday. Changed it and checked that was working okay, turning on,off and showing readouts. Went out in the rain and the new unit did not fog up. Success or so I thought. When I got home a new problem arose. The new display unit would not power down. AS...

Hi guys and thanks for the replies. Another question sorry. Is there a 1000w battery on the market available for the Giant E+1 full 2017? Does the size of the battery increase with capacity? Thanks Dario

Hi all. I did a quick search but i did not find an answer so here goes. Has anyone purchased a bigger capacity battery for their Ebike. I currently have a Giant MTB with the 500w battery and wondered if a more powerful unit was available to extend the bike's range. Now this totally left field...

My display has done the same ie fogging up in the rain. I had a new unit sent to me as my bike is still under warranty. As yet i have not gotten round to fitting the replacement display.

Not been on a bike regularly for years and live at the top of a hill. Being 55 coming on 56 and being rather too fond of the pies it would be near impossible (totally exhausting) for me to ride back up the hill where i stay. This morning i thought i would have a quick go on my Giant full...

Hi everyone. Decided that I would like to get back on a bike again. Being rather fond of the occasional fish supper and no very fit I thought ebike would be the way to go. My Giant MTB arrives this week. I have a mountain bike track on my doorstep (Cathkin Braes Glasgow) so no excuse not to get...
