    Bosch, Shimano or Bafang motor on etrike?

    I am looking to buying a etrike and have been looking at the HP-Velotechnik FS-26, Azab T-Fly , Ice Adventure with full suspension and the Catrike Dumont. The neurosurgeon said I now needed a full suspension trike with a motor. The trikes that I have been looking at come with different motors...

    Ebiking and chronic pain

    I lost the ability to lift my legs more than one inch when I was walking. I ended up with a laminectomy L3 through S1. I can walk again but I do not have as much strength in my legs as I used to before my leg strength left me. I was riding 100-150 miles a week before I had trouble walking...

    I don't know the exact answer to your question, but I do know that Utah Trikes does custom work for special situations. They have been very helpful when I have called them for information. You actually talk to a real person the first time you call. You can get on their website and chat with...

    Colors change from green, orange, red to white when pushed

    Thanks, r1roman that is exactly what I needed to know. I looked at the flyer that came with my bike but it didn't show anything about changing back to white after I put the lowest assist on. Now I understand why sometimes when I am in the lowest assist the button would go orange and stay on...

    Orbea gain, is it possible to change the standard stem for a more angled stem

    'I used a Ritchey 4-way adjustable stem. It comes in three different lengths and I used the shortest one which was 90mm. It also came in 105 and 120mm I believe. The 90 mm was all I needed but any would fit. With the 90mm I didn't need to change the hydraulic brake lines. Sorry for the delay...

    Colors change from green, orange, red to white when pushed

    I'm still trying to figure out the frame buttons on my GainM30. Once I push the button on the frame the light will turn green. It does not stay green but turns to white and will stay white mostly but sometimes will go back to green. If I, then quickly double click the button it will go to...

    Orbea gain, is it possible to change the standard stem for a more angled stem

    I added a stem to my GainM30 that I could angle upward. I had to get some additional spacers so the metal didn't show through, and the cap would fit tight. I didn't even need to add any additional length to the brake lines. Blues Player

    Range Gain D50

    I have the GainM30 and if I use it in the green, lowest power assist, I can get about 50 miles out of it before it shows red indicating I best be getting close to where I want to end. I don't that helps you but it is the best I can do to answer your question. I hope someone can give you...

    Hello and glad I found you all

    Last fall I bought a new old stock 2020 Orbea Gain M30. I had been riding a Trek 1800C but because of some neurosurgery I thought it best to move up to an ebike. After looking at different bikes I decided the Orbea Gain was my best option. I have been very happy with it and only use the...
