Giant Reign E+. First E-Bike Ride.

[@leeslocombe3848]

Awesome work Froff, your vids just get better and better!!! Also eMTB's help those old dirt bikers with knackered knees keep riding!!

[@Froff]

Haha cheers mate, so much fun. I was wondering where the throttle was at times though 😂

[@joski9030]

I’ve been looking at them for over a year now, had a go on my mates specialized and I absolutely loved it

[@MommyChiang]

Ahh that dual slalom too much fun to watch you both are so funny together 🤣🤣🤣

[@david029014]

Just picked up a giant reign E + on the used market, so excited.

[@cutlaps]

Nice one froff. Ebikes are a lot of fun. I didn’t get into the sport for the fitness, so I have no problem with bike laps lol.

[@twinshock175]

Damn you Froff, now I having watched that, its everything I thought it would be, way to much fun! Now all I got to do is work out how selling my motorbikes could finance an ebike!

[@berniemaus1728]

Great vid as usual mate, you have articulated the reason I cannot ride an e-bike….. I know I’ll have to have one if I do.

[@kevjob1]

I have thee Reign E+2 and love it, can handle full on double blacks to blues. Soaks up big drops and jumps so smoothly. It is surprising easy to get off the ground and tracks super well due to the weight.

[@tonygee3284]

I have the E 2 also its an amazing bike just point and go.

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

Off the ground as in manuals or jumps?

[@lukasvrana6388]

I bought my first ebike this year - 2022 Giant Reign E+1 :D Love this thing.

[@chrisgenovese8188]

ive told anyone who will listen: ebikes are the greatest invention, maybe ever. so much fun!

[@Froff]

Haha so good!

[@theampedlife]

Little late to the party here, but still a relevant video, thank you. Im a Giant Trance Xe rider, looking to pick up the enduro big brother you enjoyed here. Looks like a go mate!

[@TwoWheelsAndAPonytail]

How tall are you and which frame size do you use? I am 172 and I am not sure about M or L..

[@tonyparker9370]

Feel like you haven't earned the down, decrease the assist, step back in time and feel the burn. Only difference from an armish bike is at the end of the day you would have doubled the vert and doubled your fun.

[@shred-hermtb9113]

Sick video Froff !! I just got my first ebike and love it!! Get way more riding done without cooked legs 🤙

[@Froff]

Hell yeah mate, thanks heaps.

[@weridegiantsmtb284]

That was so sick mate! Please tell me I need one! As I’m on a 2019 reign sx1 an need more bikes 🤣🤣

[@Froff]

You need one 😉 😛

[@barrono4464]

yo i love your vids so much bro! keep up the content my guy 👍

[@nickireed796]

Loved all the laughing, Froff. I got an ebike in March and I’m still laughing my head off! Such fun!

[@Froff]

How can you not laugh. So much fun!

[@Dash41198]

So, what you're saying is, I have to start saving for another bike...? Another cracking vid, mate. Those drone shots are quality!

[@Froff]

😂😂 It never ends 💸

[@Jbjmtb]

Loved that froff. As soon as I can afford one, I’m for sure gettin one. Smarter not harder 👌🏼

[@luke_offroad_crusades]

I have an emtb too man I'm only 35 but have had two knee recos, back loving riding again now! Was struggling bad on my analog.

[@JEMMTB1]

I wanna try too! I didn't think about how you'd become a better rider from it, I can see it's true!

[@Froff]

You will love it Jem!

[@mickfromrocky]

That was so sick 🤘. I want that bike. Ebikes cop a bit but I look at my position. I’m 53, had a lot of health issues and struggle on climbs and can only punch out for two hours but I farking love MTB . Now these bikes give me a chance to keep doing it for many years to come. Great vid Man

[@Froff]

Thanks mate, that’s the attitude man. As long as you’re having fun and not hurting anyone else. It’s all sick.

[@kylieandbrett7591]

Im exactly the same at 52, plus it would be my 3rd bike, what can i say to justify it ?

[@mickfromrocky]

@@kylieandbrett7591 I’m actually quite prepared to sell my ripmo to get one . I’m a one bike kind of guy lol. My only issue is it’s a lot of money for that once a week hit out but I’ll get over that 😃

[@rhysrhysrhys]

I can't afford to test ride an emtb!

[@brokenlegz]

😂I made the mistake. Don’t do it.

[@Burritosarebetterthantacos]

I should have gotten a reign vs the trance but either way its fun… plus makes a gnarly barhopper. Forget manuals, not happening on the xc version.

[@Shauny808]

Welcome to the dark side 😈 Man, those trails look amazing!

[@squidface666]

more b roll please! loved the drone shots.

[@DMMTB]

Sick Video Jaron .... ebike's are the way but I'm waiting a bit longer. Now you have to go back to the normal bike 😉

[@Froff]

Haha thanks Yoda, the behind the scenes vid would go for hours 😂

[@Yoda-em5mt]

@@Froff I keep thinking about starting a channel of my own but when i heard seth say he spends 40 hours a week to make his vids i kinda put me of , how many hours do you reckon you spend editing aside from the riding cheers mate .

[@Froff]

You should mate, I spend anywhere from 10-20 hrs per vid I recon. But I could easily spend 40 making it more polished. ✨

[@Yoda-em5mt]

@@Froff holy shit if it takes you 20 hours it would take me a week i,m a zombie at tech stuff it may just have to be raw ha ha .

[@Jat_2012]

Love your vids froff

[@Froff]

Thanks mate, appreciate it.

[@brokenlegz]

Trying to decide between this and a turbo Levo alloy comp. I’ve ridden the turbo levo but haven’t ridden the giant yet. It’s cheaper and specced with shimano instead of sram. But I guess it comes down to how it feels power wise. The Levo had a bit of run on which felt weird.

[@JasonLowderTheRanga]

Check that your "run on" is not like the "squirt feature" on Bosch motors. You can do a quick 1/4 turn, and it will run on a bit. That is so that you can avoid peddal strikes on rocks etc (because pedal strikes on a BB hooked to a motor isn't the best strategy for long life).

[@markluke1000]

Thats why i dont test drive ebike, for sure going to buy one 👌😜

[@Froff]

Haha fair point dude

[@david029014]

Its funny because he keeps giggling when first started

[@craigscott9110]

I was exactly th same when i got mine..Love it !

[@david029014]

@craigscott9110 your right because when I test rode the used I was buying I was laughing do hard I almost fell off bike

[@johnb7422]

LOL, All it takes is one little taste. Its like MTB crack :)

[@shaynesmallshayneheinous4240]

Kinda feel like if you want more than 150mm travel your not in it for the climbs so may aswell get your own personal shuttle right?

[@archie68x]

Not in my experience mate , went from a Trek Fuel ex8 140-130 that I was constantly bottoming out with max volume spacers to a Scott Ransom 920 - 170 F& R which climbs every bit as well and I rarely use the full lock out mode ! I hear all the e-bike riders trying to justify their transition to you but really their only justifying it to themselves because deep down they all know it’s BS & their just lazy Mo Fos with the cry 😢 “ But it’s in ECO mode “ lol 😝 Truthfully though if it’s gets you of the couch & in the bush it’s all gravy 😜🤟BTW I’m almost 54 and love the challenge of a technical climb almost as much as the DH especially when you toast guys 10-20 years younger 😎

[@johnb7422]

@@archie68x only justify it in the smiles when I'm havin fun Arch :)

[@nickwooden2103]

Nice! So is that a definite recommendation for the giant e reign?

[@Froff]

I have no other E bike to compare it to mate. But I thought it was awesome.

[@RidesWithJake]

Now you got a feel of the dark side 🌚Won't be long til you get one, awesome and very entertaining video as always.

[@Froff]

Thanks man. It might be a little while yet, not quite ready to sell a kidney. Yet.

[@Mezzarino]

So what ebike did you buy after this ? 😂

[@Froff]

Haha not yet mate

[@weemankai]

My wallet didn't need to see this video. Was hoping you'd say it was shit haha

Haha when I get a “real” job.

[@JohnnyThe_G]

My 1st ever MTb ride was on a ebike So unreal in comparison! But man I just don’t want to get one because I’ll never go back and lose all my fitness I think 😳

[@frankmcdonald147]

Who cares if you don’t earn the burn Captain Froff. Cheat, lie, steal, beg & borrow. ebikes are the future just like the lightbulb, and the mobile phone. Now cave in to sin. 😈

[@EndoSurf]

Unless your mate already did it, wait till you try an eebs unlocked/US region. That 24kph is too slow... 31kph seems perfect. The other thing to note on the comment "i feel like ive done nothing", not sure if you use a garmin with a HR strap, but your body still works pretty hard, I find i just dont get that over exerted puffing :D So you dont feel wrecked, and get a great workout. its win/win.

[@lancejarman1]

Top Speed is 37kph on these

[@robhaskins3068]

Try a new Trek Fuel EXe before you buy anything. It's a mtb and a Emtb and great to ride without the motor On. Flickability and pops nicely off jumps. Finally they have built a mtb for the slow learner who didn't even know that they didn't know. If you're ego is looking for a trip try one. E=Mtb²

Ride up in eco, and it's 70% of the effort, so you are close. No one rides up in eco, unless you are riding trail and want to do 100k for the day.
