Orbea Rise eMTB

[Davesummerh]

I have been riding one for a year now and I think its great, light enough for me to lift over obstacles, enough range and power, except if you ride with full fat ebikes, though the range extender would solve that problem. Also I have ridden up fire roads without the power on. A great bike to get fit on.

Welcome to EBR Davesummerh. Fun to hear your thoughts on the Rise. We did end up buying an Orbea Rise for my wife. We originally (as newbies) bought her a Pedego Ridge Rider. But like you she wanted to bike for exercise with a little assistance and at over half her body weight she just wasn't thrilled with the feel of the RRider.

Everytime she rides her Orbea she comments on how much she loves the feel of it and she pushes herself more and more. Yesterday she was proud of going up our standard ride FireRoad without stopping but even more so for only using the second assist level on three of the steepest sections.

I marvel everytime I pick it up to put it in the back of our pickup.

Got the Hydro alloy variant. New to MTB and FS, so lots to learn (and enjoy)!
