    Orbea Gain E-Road Bike

    If it were me, I would get it replaced. You paid a lot of money for the battery and its condition could worsen or it could fail altogether.

    Orbea Gain E-Road Bike

    Hmmm... I would have to disagree that L1 just makes up for the added weight of the bike. It gives me a significant boost and I do my rides mostly in L1.

    Orbea Gain E-Road Bike

    I think I'd charge everything up and try again. If the app shows 99%, isn't the range extender depleted? When I looked at the app once, it showed 109% charge, for example. The range extender works by charging the main battery, so the range extender can be depleted and the main battery would be...

    Orbea Gain E-Road Bike

    I used my battery 4 times since I got it. One glitch was it didn't display the power remaining correctly on one or two rides. It stayed white until the battery was depleted.

    Orbea Gain E-Road Bike

    I think the bottle cage screws are aluminum, as they're non magnetic and very light. I think I'll use some stainless screws for strength, since the battery is relatively heavy... The instructions seem to indicate that I should have gotten screws with the battery.

    Orbea Gain E-Road Bike

    It feels like a couple of full water bottles (about 4 lbs.) Let us know if there's a firmware update when you take the bike in for service.

    Orbea Gain E-Road Bike

    Just got mine today. Can I charge both it and the bike battery at the same time by keeping the aux battery plugged into the bike and the charger to the aux battery? Also, it did not come with mounting screws and washers. I just used the ones that came with the bike. Is that OK and should I have...

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

    I set my L1 power to 50% as an experiment to extend the range of the battery. It did, but I didn't feel like it provided much assist at all, so set it back up to 100%. I wonder if there's a difference in drag between having the power off and L0?

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

    Yes, mine does that too. It's not much drag though, or the wheel would stop rotating within a couple of revolutions. What tires are you running? What tire pressure? Are you using tire inserts or Slime tubes? Is your front disc brake rubbing? Lowering the power levels as much as you did is...

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

    Are you going over the 20 mph cutoff speed on the flats? If so, it's not reasonable to expect the Gain, which weighs 10 lbs more than your other bike, to be as fast. There also may be a small amount of drag in the hub, however I don't know if there is or how much. Cutting back the power levels...

    That's incorrect. My M30 has a thru axle fork.

    What is the range of the Domane + (under power all the whole time)?

    Orbea Gain M30 Motor sensor problem ?

    I'm not seeing this issue at all, but you can use the phone app to adjust the power percentage for each level. You have to have the system turned on and the app paired to the system. It's under Motor Maps in the app. Changes must be saved to be effective. The system does not have a torque...

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    Maybe, but that bike is a lot heavier, probably doesn't handle as well because of that, and the motor has a lot of drag if you have to pedal it unpowered. I guess it depends on how much power you really need. On my Orbea Gain, range, not power, is the issue for me, and the Creo is similar to it.

    Correct.

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    How do you know the power is cut by 2? Did Wilier provide the power curves? My Orbea goes to 20 mph before power is cut, and I feel there is still decent assist provided in L1 just before it cuts out.

    Fazua in the USA

    Just ordered one from Mike's Bikes. Cost me $600 and they expect delivery in a couple of weeks.

    Orbea Gain E-Road Bike

    I just ordered one from Mike's Bikes. Cost me $600 with a discount. They said it will be in in a couple of weeks. Wonder if I could put a water bottle in the holder if the battery isn't mounted? If not, how easy will it be to swap to a water bottle cage? I will probably only need the aux battery...

    Anyone know if the auxiliary battery is available in the US yet?
