    Orbea Gain E-Road Bike

    I've had my Orbea Gain for a year and a half and I totally agree with Carlos, except I haven't had any problems with my bike. My OH loves it as much as I do, for the same reason - he doesn't have to slow down, push me or wait for me, so we both have a better ride. I'm 75 and very grateful to...

    After 2 months of riding my Orbea e-bike, I'm more in love with it than ever. I've done a few longish rides, with almost 1000 m. elevation gain and returned home with lots of battery to spare. It's a very comfortable bike to ride and great on the descents (I don't use power for descents or on...

    Orbea Gain E-Road Bike

    I agree - I work almost as hard, but go a lot faster. My OH is a strong rider and he’s thrilled that I can now go as fast as he does. I LOVE my Orbea D30!

    Really? They're working well - can't believe how smooth the ride is! I have top-of-the-line Michelins on my Specialized road bike (a lot narrower, of course) and I swear I'm getting a better ride on the Kenda tires/tyres. No problem enjoying the cycling here - we've lived in Languedoc for 20...

    Orbea Gain E-Road Bike

    Not my experience! I've had my Orbea Gain D130 (2018 model) for about a month and it's great. Loads of power (big hills where we live in s. France) and, so far, I haven't needed to go above the lowest power level. I use assistance only on hard climbs and can't imagine why anyone would need...

    Hi, I live in southern France (Languedoc) and have had my e-bike for about a month now. It's an Orbea Gain D130 and I love it. I've been a serious road cyclist since 1983. We live in what I think is about the best area in the world for cycling - it's why we chose to move here from Canada...
