I don't feel like I'm hammering it. I ride in either Trail or Boost while riding on the trail as I live next to the mountains. Not many flat trails by me. I don't make it work too hard on hills, I always down shift to a granny gear on the climbs.
Technically the hub "worked" but it was making...
I've had the bike for approximately 4 weeks and have had nothing but problems on the little bugger.
1. The charger is terrible quality for a "smart charger". I have to unplug it from the wall every time it finishes charging, or it won't work again. And if I leave it plugged into the bike...
Tbh I feel like you're doing something wrong. I am a very large out of shape man and I feel like a superhero on my rise on boost. Have you changed the settings in the e-tube app? Stock profile 2 does not max out boost.
To add the rise has a very low weight limit compared to other ebikes. With kit the limit is like 280lbs while full fats easily handle 300lbs-350lbs. Evidence is right there lol.
There's a very common error that results in total motor failure and replacement. I think it's like E010 or something like that. Besides that, I'm no mechanic so can't give you specifics, just what I've seen on my research. There's an EMTB Motor Repair page on Facebook and the dude could tell you...
Using STunlocker voids the warranty and there's lots of EP8 failures out there. So only do it if you're willing to spend $1k on a new motor if it fails.
Running the EP8RS at anything above 60nm will overheat and degrade your battery. I've even seen running it at 60nm for extended periods will ruin the batteries in these. It's not as bad in the 540wh, but will toast a 360wh in no time
Orbea is worth around $300 Million.
Trek is worth around $1 Billion.
Orbea is tiny compared to Trek, Giant, Specialized, etc. You should expect much worse customer service from Orbea and much higher lead times. Everything coming from Spain does not help at all. My new bike took about 3 weeks...
Wow what a piece of junk. On the bright side a couple rides and crashes you'd never know it had so many issues [emoji23].
I didn't check my Rise H15 that carefully as I'm a perfectionist and anything I saw would bug me. Luckily I've already wrecked it and scratched the lower arm a little...
I'm just salty from all the gas lighting from the manufacturer, dealers, and other orbea owners. The fact they won't admit this is a problem is beyond me.
Well according to Orbea US support and the only two Orbrea dealers in my area, you're an idiot and you're wrong. It's completely normal for the charger to do this. [emoji1751]
I even posted on this forum and people jumped to defend Orbea. Why can't people just admit this is an issue???
Mine goes solid blue once it hits 100%. Now I haven't been able to verify this but it seems that when I leave it on the charger overnight it discharges to around 85%. Yesterday I unplugged the bike as soon as it went to solid blue and on my ride the first bar seemed to last forever compared to...
