I have looked at a lot of reviews of e road bikes and had settled on the Orbea Gain as the bike That suited my needs best with an auxiliary battery. All of the reviews quoted this auxiliary battery but when checking suppliers they had no knowledge of when this battery would be available. I have contacted Orbea by e mail and they do not have a release date for the battery but have said that they will update their website when they have any progress. It does make me wonder if they would be a reliable supplier but it also makes me doubt The ability of the reviewers. They all quote the auxiliary battery but none of them thought to ask about availability or price. A lot of the reviews just quote the Orbea promotianal material so casts doubt on the integrity of their reviews. I will hold off until I see positive commitment for release of battery or might go for the more expensive Fazua motor.

The bike shop is Dales Bikes

We have a local bike shop in Glasgow and they will let you hire a bike to try it out for £50 and if you buy the bike they take the £50 from the price of the bike. The only problem is that they don’t have any stock of the Orbea Gain to try. There seems to be a supply problem with Orbea at the moment. Another problem is that they quote an extended range with an auxiliary battery but this has not yet been released. All of the reviewers quote the auxiliary battery so they obviously have not asked the question about cost or availability.

All of the reviews I have read for the Orbea Gain e road bikes are posted by professional or very fit road cyclists. I am thinking of buying an Orbea Gain but am worried that it might not handle some of the very steep hills and on average 50 miles day trips in my area. I am not as fit I was due to having a long layoff with knee ligament damage resulting in increased weight to 15st. Does anybody have any information regarding how this motor performs on very steep hills.

I was looking to buy a new Orbea Gain e bike. I live in a very hilly region (Argyll) in Scotland so was looking to buy the auxiliary battery quoted in all of the Orbea marketing material. None of the retailers had any information so I e mailed Orbea. They have no release date for the battery but advised me to watch their website. I noticed on Pedelecs website that they told a customer in May that the battery would be available early 2019. I think they must be having difficulty in the development stage so will put off purchasing or look for a similar product.
