    Orbea Gain vs Cube Agree

    I have a Volt hybrid with a Bosch motor which handles the steepest hills with ease but is very heavy on the long flats. My average ride is 45 miles in a hilly region in Scotland. I bought the Orbea Gain D30 and it manages this with a bit of effort put in on the steeper hills but have only...

    Orbea Gain auxiliary battery

    I ended up buying the Orbea Gain D30 and am very impressed with the performance. I have only managed four runs due to the weather but have averaged 45 miles and 2500 feet of ascent. The most battery usage has been 52% and the other three runs averaged 30% so I don’t think I will need the...

    Orbea Gain auxiliary battery

    I ended up buying the Gain D30 and have done four decent runs average length 45 miles with 2,500 feet ascent. The most battery usage was 52% so I don’t think I will need the auxiliary battery. I don’ use the battery on the flat or gentle slopes as the bike is really light for an e bike and the...

    Orbea Gain sizing

    I saw a review quoting 10.5 kg but can’t remember where I saw it. I ended up buying the medium Orbea Gain and it fitted my 5’11” perfectly. Thanks everybody for the info.

    Orbea Gain auxiliary battery

    I noticed on the e bike forum that somebody said that they had purchased the e bike motion auxiliary battery in France. I have still not seen a release announcement on either Orbea's website or e bike motion's website but the contribution seemed certain.

    Orbea Gain auxiliary battery

    The Ribble Endurance uses the same motor and battery supplier as the Orbea Gain so I don’t think that they will have a spare battery available but I would be interested if there was one available.

    Does anyone have an Orbea Gain F20 or F30?

    I tried an Orbea Gain F20 at our local dealer as they didn’t have a drop bar that I wanted to buy. I wasn’t sure if the power would meet my needs. I tried the bike on several steep hills near the shop and it gave a really good level of assistance. On the flat or gentle slopes it handled like a...

    Orbea Gain sizing

    I am going to buy an Orbea Gain D30. I am 5ft 11inches tall. The size chart shows me as requiring a 55cm medium. I thought I would need a large size. I read somewhere that Orbea tends to come in a bit bigger than other makes. There are no models available locally to try for size. Does anybody...

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

    There is no firm release date for the auxiliary battery. It was promised for early 2019 but on contacting both e bike motion and Orbea they have vaguely mentioned sometime over the summer. They must be having development problems. I have been holding off buying the Gain until I’m certain they...

    Orbea Gain auxiliary battery

    I am thinking of the Orbea d30 but am a bit worried if it will manage steeper hills. I have a Volt Pulse with a Bosch motor which is great for the really steep long hills in my area but is very heavy which makes it difficult to keep up on the flat. The Volt Pulse has 5 power levels and I can...

    Cube agree c62 hybrid e bike

    Has anybody tried out the c62 Cube e bike, not the SL model at £4500, the one priced £3500 or any other bike with the Fazua motor. £3500 would be my limit. I’m looking for info on how the Fazua motor copes with long steep hills.

    Orbea Gain auxiliary battery

    Interesting that they can quote a price for something that doesn’t even have a release date yet. It does seem very expensive.

    I am looking for a spare battery for my gain

    I e mailed Orbea and they have no firm outlook for a release date for the auxiliary battery. They told me to watch their website for information for a release later this year.

    Orbea Gain auxiliary battery

    The reviews that I was referring to were the manufacturers reviews, Orbea and Ribble and the retailers sites. Both of these reviews were not free as they would come from the manufacturers advertising budget which is built into the price of the bike. The other reviews from retailers sites and...
