I recently picked up a 2022 Giant reign e+3 with upgraded Zeb fork and sram wireless shifting. She has 625w battery and its great! The 800w and 750w batteries are backward compatible. Gotta love Giant for doing that!
To save weight these bikes should be fitted with a 400wh internal battery and a 200wh range extender should be included with the rrp and not an after-market purchase. Given the extenders weigh around 1kg and are not noticeable in a backpack then the buyer can always grab a 2nd extender after-market to bump the total wh up to 800 if they truly need it
Good one Frankie! I wouldn’t worry about upsetting the biking industry. If there are enough voices like yours, they will listen, rather than shaping the narrative. There has to be independent voices, (un endorsed) genuine critical reviews rather than extended adverts of a super rider performing beyond belief stunts. Even now the top end bike prices are in the crazy range and the entry level spec is poor value, put together by accountants rather than biking experts.
Thank you! I enjoy this sport way too much (especially the ebike platform) not to voice my concerns. I don’t want to turn new riders by bashing everything instead want to offer a 2nd look at value and options. I hope to make an impact for the Better.
Like your reviews 👍 I don’t get the gripe with 800Wh, seems same ballpark as Bosch PowerTube 750Wh. Definetely entry level enduro bike, not for the racer nor pro rider. Cheers!
If this enduro 800whr is good, those who think is too much because they use it on regular trail not enduro, people forget enduro requires uphill and quick downhill lol…
YT decoy core $3999, polygon sisku T7e $3899 are just a few there are more with great discounts now. Check out my top 10 value video some good ones in there ua-cam.com/video/D6npZt9dxGQ/v-deo.htmlsi=xAnhCpHgvglRljR4
There isn't one high end/ish EMTB that is " worth it " and No , using the comparison cost of all other similar bikes is not an excuse for the exaggerated and ludicrous prices .

That’s awesome
Great upgrades to the bike! Thanks for the info on backwards compatibility!

Hmm that is a very interesting concept! I like it! Sometimes on short rides I really don’t need all that juice.
The giant reign in blue is currently priced at 3999 dollars in the uk which is £3199 uk pounds
Nice! that is a great price for it
Good one Frankie!

Thank you! 800wh is big! This bike is built for all day riding but the components is a bit lacking if you go all day.
@@frankiesemtb Now that Bosch have introduced the 800Wh battery... Still think it doesn't make sense? Cheers!

800 is built for all day riding and yes enduro trails have lots of up and down!
What other ebike is priced at 4500.00 brand new to compare??? Ebikes are expensive bro.

I dont think maestro suspension likes coil shocks.
Interesting, you know from experience?

I just hope manufacturers will learn from this year and keep prices reasonable in the future
I picked up the e+1 at an excellent price , same price as the recommended price for the e+3 , and the spec is excellent,
I’m stoked
All emtbs should Not ever be priced more than 5k because it’s still a pedal bike
Agreed! 5k is a great price point for EMTBs
