After a few messages to the Orbea on-line shop, I'm assured my M20 19 will be available for me to collect next week (just 1week late) - we'll see..... My advice to anyone else nagging them is to send them all messages through the on-line portal. Replies to their emails don't always get a response!
Have you had the bike yet Chris, if so what do you think of it? I am seriously thinking of getting an E-road bike next spring. I like the Orbea models but would prefer to have the option of dropping out the battery and motor if I was doing a fairly flat surface ride.
Cube have three road bikes with the Fazua motor which can easily be removed from the bike. I already have a Cube E-mountain bike and really rate them.
The top of the range is too expensive for me, but the other two I am hoping to test ride and see what I think. Wisper are also bringing out some new road bikes at the start of next year with that same motor and they really look terrific. One of my local LBS deals with Wisper and I hope will get some in so I can have a test ride, before making a decision.
I am also probably going to test ride the Orbea, the delay between placing ones order and getting the bike is a bit off putting though. I wouldn't want to place my order next spring and not get the bike until the Autumn.
