Mak, occasionally, my Rise gets a squeaking noise while pedaling. It only occurs if the motor has been exposed to a lot of powdery dirt. The noise appears to be originating at where the spindle enters into the engine case. My thought is there's some sort of seal to keep water and dirt out of the...

I'm honestly not trying to be argumentative. Not all of San Diego County area is fully open to eBikes, unless you subscribe to the "I'll ride my eBike where I please, you never see a ranger, San Diego." I love Noble Canyon and the Big Laguna area in Palomar. I got jammed up and lectured to by a...

I agree the upper pivot axle design could be improved with better sealing. I agree, 800km doesn't seem like much. Are you subjecting the bike to a lot of water? A bearing press makes re-installation of new pivot bearings a much easier process. I highly recommend buying a bearing press, like...

Ruibtt, My M20 came with Raceface Arc 30 rims with Shimano Deore HB-MT410-B (Boost) hubs. I'm assuming your bike has the same hubs. Your rear wheel should not be loosening up. There are several things that can cause the rear axle to loosen. When a rear hub bearing starts going bad, it can cause...

Regarding Bureau of Land Management, Here's my story and I'm sticking too it..... Some of you may know I had a bad crash in October 2019. The accident literally destroyed my ankle and foot. I couldn't walk for 18 months. Fortunately, I was the recipient of some kick ass computer technology...

Mak, Did you use the Loctite 638? If you didn't, the upper linkage arm(s) will loosen up and creak after only a few rides. The lower pivot axle will also creak in a similar fashion if it runs dry of lubrication. If you ever remove the motor, you will find that the lower axle and bearings are...

Neilo, how's it going? I was wondering how you made out with that axle. Jene, I'm sorry, I misread your question and thought it was the linkage arms which you could not get off. I've answered your question regarding what I recommended to Neilo below. The tolerance between the splined upper...

Jene, Follow BiGJZ74's advice. If the rear shock extender yoke hasn't been removed, you must first remove it before you can separate the linkage arms from the splined axle. You want to rock the linkage arm free by hitting it with a soft rubber mallet. Hit the linkage arm at the end and then...

Exactly what I was going to recommend.

Interesting, it looks like it has a Shimano motor and larger downtube for larger battery capacity.

Wayne, Everybody on this forum knows there are many variables such as rider weight, tires, terrain, etc, that affect eBike range. We know this....it doesn't need to be said, brother. Belaboring a point makes you sound difficult. If a person is on this forum, then that person knows, rides and...

Rich, I’m selling my Rise to my brother. I’ll still be working on the bike and posting tech articles on the Orbea forum. My next article will be servicing Fox forks and various fork modifications. I’m sure I’ll be posting articles on the Pivot when I begin modifying the bike. Speaking of which...

Here's the dealio.....As mountain bikers in the USA, we did it to ourselves. We shot ourselves in the foot. When eBikes first came to the United States, there were a serious amount of haters. Many felt that riding an eBike was cheating. If you rode an eBike you were cutting to the front of the...

Rob, thank you for the review. Much appreciated and helpful. Don't you just hate manufacturer embargos on bikes? As a side note, I've placed an order for the new Pivot Shuttle SL. It will replace my Orbea Rise which is starting to rack up a lot of miles. The SL's are being released mid...

I mentioned XTR to my wife....She just laughed.....She's the shot caller in the family. If mama's not happy, nobody is happy....

It typically takes about two to three weeks to get Rise parts from Orbea in Spain. Maybe source the Bosch magnet locally so you don't have to wait?

Same here....Sage Green, SLX/XT build.

Tubby, Here is the part link to Orbea's UK website for the magnet adapter mentioned in the above posts. https://www.orbea.com/gb-en/gear/spare-parts/cat/magnet-disc-6-bolt-orbea

Originally, both the Occam and the Rise Blue Papers listed the pinch bolt torque setting as 15Nm. The Rise Blue Paper was later amended to reflect a 10nm torque setting. There have been several amendments to the Rise Blue Paper since the bike was first introduced. The torque change was brought...
