    Watt hours per mile - road ebikes

    Pretty much nailed it Sol. It's a regular road bike WITH a battery. I can speak with a certain authority. Cycling and racing since the 60's having and still owning £10,000 road bikes, the Gain is my go-to ride. Anyone who struggles, carrying an injury, handicap or is unfit will benefit greatly...

    Watt hours per mile - road ebikes

    Deacon, let me reassure you. I'm 173lbs on my Gain averaging 15/16mph I get around 100 miles to a single charge on rolling roads. In between charges the highest milage has run too 124 miles, the least distance covered 81.

    Ybfly, nice description of your predicament. For me short rides (30 miles) using Rotor rings I don't notice much benefit. After a long ride with plenty of hills however, my recovery is quicker, with less fatigue in the legs the next day. The lowest gear I use is 34x28 as long as I can keep the...

    No flooded roads for you then Rab? Also luck around here, however 30 mlies south (Doncaster) it's awash. Was going to Planet X store at Barnsley this weekend for cold weather gear. They are also flooded out. Keep up the milage.

    Is anything new with Orbea Gain 2020?

    My understanding? Same system and assist level. Ant+ battery along with basic stem computer that will show a few of the app functions. Believe the stem and bars maybe integrated at least on the costlier versions.

    Greetings for sunny Hornsea (East Yorkshire) Ferocious 20 mile headwind to Floral Hall for lunch. But boy was it worth it for the return ride? Came back at just under 30mph. Certainly blew the cobwebs away.

    In total agreement with you Sol. At least leave Level 1 at 100% otherwise, assist is negligible.

    Could so easily be a Sunday morning scene, here in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Except fox hunting is now illegal, hounds get taken out on a scent hunt trail. But the visual scene and aura to a meet remains unchanging.

    Reading owners differing views on the amount of assist offered at various levels, I'm beginning to wonder if there is inconsistencies in the manufacture of the X35 unit? I for example get great mileage often 100+ miles from one charge. However the amount of assist given on level one does not...

    Sol, I as you may know? I have 2 Gains an M20i and a D (for winter) if on both I lowered the assist to 10%? I may as well switch it off (on both of them) turning the power down to 50% in level 1 reduces the amount of help considerably. Let's face it level one just about makes up for the extra...

    It was very wet today here in the "East Riding of Yorkshire" to give it's full title. Not having any mudguards on my Gain, I decided to take out my Trek Domane (which does) This was my first non electric ride in an age. Two things stood out after my 30 mile ride? Firstly despite the low level...

    Like I mentioned before, 1000 Miles from new I'm still learning from this bike. Many ways of using the assist ie. Backwind no assist. It goes from mild help to stick it in max and jump up the hill. One thing we don't often mention though? This is a seriously comfortable bike, that can be ridden...

    At this moment in time, we have a group of local louts riding around on motor scooters, knocking off cyclists!!! If I catch any? They will be eating hospital food out of a straw for months to come.
