    It's probably a buggy app.

    Orbea Gain E-Road Bike

    Can't you ground ship your bike via UPS from Arizona? I know people that have done tours in the US ship their bikes that way rather than check them as luggage on the plane, which was more expensive. I think ground shipping of Li-ion batteries by ground is Okay. Not sure if the rules have changed...

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

    I've had to adjust (tighten) the headset twice now. Also, the expansion plug needed tightening as well. Anyone else had their headset loosen?

    Orbea Gain E-Road Bike

    I tried but it didn't work very well for me.

    Orbea Gain E-Road Bike

    No, the assistance is already at 100% (the default value). If you need a faster cadence, lower gears will do it. I think the Shimano 105 derailleur can handle up to a 34 tooth cog.

    Fazua in the USA

    Fazua is battery plus motor and controller. Expect to pay $$$ for that.

    Orbea Gain E-Road Bike

    My multitool (a Topeak model) had the proper size Allen wrenches for the front and rear wheels. Tires (Mavic UST) can be removed by hand, but I'd carry tire levers just in case.

    Orbea Gain E-Road Bike

    That's what I do but Garmin no longer makes that type of sensor (GSC 10). I had to take one off my other bike.

    Orbea Gain E-Road Bike

    I think it's better to get up to speed before the hill. That way, you're not bogging down the motor at low rpm. Seemed better for me when I attacked a 15% grade yesterday. Chainstay clearance is tight. I had to readjust my cleats because I was hitting my heels on the the chainstays. I can't...

    How to remove the limit of the eBikemotion X35 system?

    It's available in the iPhone or Android app store, but it requires a password to use it. I don't think it will allow you to change the 20 or 15.5 mph speed cap though.

    Orbea Gain E-Road Bike

    I rode up a mountain yesterday. 12 mile climb, 3800', average 5% grade but higher in places and 15% near the top. I was almost all in the L1 setting, L3 at the top and L0 for the first couple of miles near the bottom where the grade is slight, and for the 12 mile descent. I had 42% battery life...

    It's motor rpm. Looks like mine

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    In level 3, I see 100% power in the app, subject to fluctuation. I think I've given up on auto assist. Can't get it to work reliably.

    Orbea Gain Rear Axle

    I would not assume that a round axle would fit in the dropouts. The motor axle has two flats on it. Someday I'll take off my wheel to check the fit. I had my wheel out once, and it seemed it slotted in, but I could be wrong. Articles I've read on the Fazua bikes is they are awaiting US...

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    I think the speed you see on the app is pure GPS, not from a sensor in the motor. As such, it's a bit prone to error/fluctuation. I found I rarely use the high power setting. Getting the battery to last is more important to me. I have a Garmin 810 with a cadence/speed sensor and the cutoff...

    Orbea Gain Rear Axle

    The bike is really not designed to be used that way. If that's what you really want, get one with the Fazua motor (Focus Paralane2, for example). The Fazua powered bikes are not yet sold in the US, awaiting government approval.

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    I tried my new Topeak HR chest strap today. After some trouble getting it to detect my heart rate, it worked well with the ebikemotion app and my Garmin. I tried getting the auto assist to work with limited results. I think it's related to the max heart rate you input. I don't think it should be...

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    It is an iPhone app. Power jumps all over the place (see the plot). I'd be curious to know how your's behaves. I just got a HR monitor chest strap but haven't tried it yet; hopefully tomorrow. Do you have significant motor rpm when you are pedaling in Level 0 and below the speed cut off?

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    It only reports and records motor power, not rider power.
