    Orbea Gain auxiliary battery

    Yes, the Bosch ALP system only weighs about 30% more, but you also gain ~10% capacity. If our approximation of the weight is correct :) But the mount/frame required to accommodate both the motor and the removable battery itself still needs to be sturdier/heavier for the Bosch system, I guess...

    Orbea Gain auxiliary battery

    Wow! They're ready to share some information in the coming weeks - probably about it being delayed further :eek:. Here's the eBikemotion page (I also e-mailed them, but haven't received an answer yet): https://www.ebikemotion.com/web/x35-range-extender/ The range extender for the X35 system...

    Lightweight urban e-bikes such as Ampler Curt, Orbea Gain F40 etc.

    That looks great, 13,5 kg is very light. I can't seem to find any information about the battery capacity though. I'll have to ask them. It's about €600 cheaper than the Ampler Curt. Edit: It does have the same system as the Orbea Gain (ebikemotion X35). It seems to be coupled with a 250Wh...

    Amazing that they've managed to get it down to only 10kg. It's a bit expensive though @ €6 000 - looking for something closer to ~€2 500.

    Haha, fair enough. Maybe if there weren't that many people around, hehe.

    Lightweight urban e-bikes such as Ampler Curt, Orbea Gain F40 etc.

    Yes, the issue is the weight. In comparison with the Gain F40 that's almost a 7kg/45% difference. I plan on bringing it on the train, and I have the carry it to get it on board (won't fit their tiny elevator, so have to take the stairs down/up).

    Lightweight urban e-bikes such as Ampler Curt, Orbea Gain F40 etc.

    Instead of buying a bulkier 500Wh bike, I'm looking for something light and easy to carry, and I'd rather not spend more than €2 499 / £2 200. There's not that much to chose from as far as I can find though - any suggestions I might add to the list? Aiming for 17 kg or less! Ampler Curt €2...

    Orbea Gain auxiliary battery

    Yes. I've been reading up on it, but dare not modify a battery myself to fit the CAN bus. There's a good chance I'll just fry it all :)

    Orbea Gain auxiliary battery

    We've soon passed "early 2019". Still not a single word about the aux battery. Could you ask them? I've been meaning to buy the F30 for a while now, but need the extra battery for longer trips. It's really strange that they haven't released any AUX battery yet =/

    Could the forum width be increased?

    Yes, that's an option for 100% width. It doesn't work very well though on WQHD+ since it overlaps the background - try it yourself. Also an easy fix though by editing the CSS and removing the background. The best option for anyone on a higher resolution screen is probably to manually set...

    Could the forum width be increased?

    I'm using a 34" UHD myself :) Yes, it's possible to zoom. It does however increase the size of every single element on the page, which isn't the problem. The problem I had was specifically with the width. I just edited the CSS via a chrome add-on; running 1400px now - looks great on UHD...

    Could the forum width be increased?

    Thanks for a great forum. I just registered an account and hope to be more active soon (...awaiting the 2017 line up). I noticed, while browsing through all of the great content on here, that the width of the forum makes it quite hard to read. Here's a few screenshots with the width set to...
