    Orbea Gain E-Road Bike

    Good questions Mike. My understanding is yes you can charge both which be convenient. Is it really heavy? My fear is it is Would've thought if you needed something other than your bottle cage screws it should've shipped with them. I'm picking mine up a week this Thursday at the bike shop...

    Known Issues & Problems with Orbea Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Ha, thinking I could extend the range, I played with mine like that a bit too Mike. Then it dawned on me. The reason I bought the damn bike was to have the assist when I needed it. I have bought the battery extender so I can do some longer rides and not worry about range. I haven't actually...

    Known Issues & Problems with Orbea Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Hi Cycling Dad, I wonder if the perceived drag you are experiencing is because you have set your level 1 assist at 40%. I try to ride without any assistance as much as possible on the flats. If I have been using A1 and drop back to no assist I rarely notice any difference. However, if I use A2...

    Orbea Gain E-Road Bike

    Checking with local Orbea dealer can sometimes be problematic as they do not have a large footprint. Good luck and enjoy your bike. They are a lot of fun.

    Known Issues & Problems with Orbea Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Ebikemotion is another kettle of fish. I have tried communicating with them as well and been ignored. Ha! Your level of upgrading is beyond my capabilities. Like putting gas in my car and knowing where the ignition is, I know where to plug my charger in and what button to push to turn it on...

    Known Issues & Problems with Orbea Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    That's interesting. As many of us have experienced Orbea doesn't have a huge dealer footprint. I had to travel from Phoenix to Tuscan to purchase my Gain from the closest dealer. It was actually someone from Orbea USA that put in in contact with the dealer. That individual was willing to stay in...

    Orbea Gain E-Road Bike

    Mike, I expect it will be battery specific however changing out a bottle cage is 5 min job.

    Orbea Gain E-Road Bike

    Mike, I have one on order and was told it will be shipped early this month. I haven't followed up recently as I won't be in AZ until late October. Orbea Little Rock told me back in July they were in a container that had been shipped to them.

    EBike Shaming

    Me too. My Bianchi E Aria really stands out and most people don't realize it's an ebike at first. Had one guy ask me about the big rear hub. Is that an old fashioned power meter he asked? I just replied I guess you could call it that. Frankly, when most people find out how old I am they are...

    Known Issues & Problems with Orbea Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Reading about this issue with ebike batteries. Is anyone aware of an ebikemotion bike/battery catching on fire. I googled but couldn't find anything. I store my bike in the house so got to thinking is it an issue? Don't think it is. It appears a number of the issues have with modifications...

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    Interesting. Not sure how many they will sell at $13.5k. Note they dont give a weight but say lightest in the category. Must mean mid drives. Dont think a mid drive will be lighter than bike motion.
