Must confess Iv'e been drooling over a £3499 Giant Trance E+3 recently although dubious about a few items on it. The handlebars are something like 4" wider than my present ones. In my minds eye I see them catching on the tree trunks flashing by on local single tracks! Then there is the miniscule RideControl ONE as a replacement to the screens of earlier models. At least it looks tougher and is cheaper if it does get mashed. The idea is to link it with a smart phone via an Android App to get other info such as speed, distance, cadence etc. And to program the motor to get you to your destination before the battery goes flat. All very fine in theory......typical hype over reality as a visit to the App page comments proves. So buggy it crashes regularly loosing the info you wanted to save. About the only thing it is good for is to update and reprogram the motor. Has anyone here had experience of this?
Of course the problem at my age is that if you wait too long to make up your mind, it may well be too late!
