This lightweight, 250W hub based system is used on the Orbea Gain and other light road ebikes from Bianchi, Pinarello, Wilier, and Ribble. Does it have a torque sensor? Anyone know when the external bottle battery is coming out? Anyone having problems with the system?

You might need a new seatpost. The bike comes with a slack (72.6 degree) seat tube angle. My saddle is shoved all the way forward on the rails and I'm still short of my "fitted" position by 3-4mm. It seems OK so I'm going to live with it. I too put on my preferred saddle. Odd that the aluminum...

I added up the weights of the components. Ultegra saves 0.3 lbs over 105. People on another forum that have or ridden both, including bike mechanics that work on them, say functionally they are equivalent, including the disc brakes. I decided to save the $800 and put that towards the bottle...

My Gain has 32 spokes for the rear hub. It would be nice if the hub had a thru axle instead of axle nuts and that connector isn't that easy to mate and demate. There's a plastic cover on the bottom on the chainstay that makes it harder to get at that connector. Lack of a thru axle isn't a...

Interesting comparison of the ebikemotion and Fazua systems (Link Removed - No Longer Exists)

I bought a Gain M30 a couple of weeks ago. It has a 250 W motor and 20 mph max speed. I'm in the US. I'm not sure why you would want more power on a Class 1 ebike with a small (250 wh) battery. It has more than enough power for me. I've rarely used the high power mode and if I used it a lot...

The Gain is Class 1, not 2. It's pedal assisted and doesn't have a throttle like a Class 2 has.

The Orbea has the same motor power output, 250 watt. They are both Class 1 bikes. The Cannondale is aluminum and a lot heavier (37 lbs. vs. 25), but the battery is twice as large. Have you looked at the Trek Domane+? It has a 350 watt motor and a carbon frame and is pretty light (38 lbs.) for a...

Very true. But bicycles depreciate greatly so that 5 year old bike might be fully functional but won't be worth much. Automobiles too. I'm hoping my ebike can go 5 years without experiencing a problem that can't be fixed. Orbea is an established bike company. I can't see it going out of...

Wilier, Ribble, and Bianchi use this system too.

I bought an M30 a few days ago and have a couple of rides on it. I rode 38 miles today and averaged 2 mph faster over the same ride I did last week on my road bike. Most of the ride was in the eco mode. Some of the hills were in the mid power mode, and the system was in no assist mode for a few...

I'm interested in the Gain M20. I haven't seen one yet. I think it would be perfect for what I'm looking for. I want a light bike and intend for the assist to make long climbs easier. Those that have these bikes, what's it like to ride it up a mountain climb? I think the OP has a definite bias...
