My mate had the same problem. Didn’t use his bike for a while and then it would not switch on. Turned out Purion had died. Although a month or so out of warrenty Trek and Bosch paid for new one and the labour. i think this is quite rare so if it does happen it’s pretty unlucky.
I think you’re right that there here to stay. I’ve also an H30 but as stated above, there are other factors that can be more important than wheelsize on playfulness. I recently rode a Levo SL and definitely felt it was more playful than my Rise, despite it also having 29 inch wheels. However, it...
Lots of good advice on posts above. I fractured my wrist over 30 years ago. It was badly set and had to be reset and pinned by an orthopaedic surgeon. He warned me that I would have arthritis later in life but now I can’t tell the difference between my wrists (apart from the scars). I also have...

I meant improved ride, which I guess improves both performance and comfort. It’s well known that bigger wheels makes a bike roll over small bumps better, tracking the ground better, improving grip but also not throwing the bike around so much, improving comfort. Because of these factors, I...
I have two bikes, a 2018 Kenevo and a 2022 Orbea Rise, so more or less one bike for technical downhill and bike parks, the other for cross country, with a much longer range. Despite being best at what they are designed for, the Kenevo is fine on cross country rides and the Rise manages pretty...
I would be interested for PLBs opinion on the SL motor and possibilities of making it more powerful. I’ve read that one of the reasons it is light is because quite a lot of the innards are plastic which would not cope with much more power. Also, the heat management may not cope. So, are we...
I’ve got a 2018 Kenevo and have recently bought an H30 Rise, mainly to have something with much greater range than my Kenevo, which I still enjoy riding. I’ve done a few rides with folk on full fat bikes and keeping up with them depends on what power they are using. Most use trail (full Lego)...
I’ve got a 2018 Kenevo and have recently bought an H30 Rise, mainly to have something with much greater range than my Kenevo, which I still enjoy riding. Last week whilst in the UK I hired a Levo SL. I was impressed, it felt even more like an analogue bike than the Rise (SL was a carbon model)...
In Switzerland it is 25kph or 45kph. Same motor, same power, it’s just that if your bike is registered and has a number plate, the motor allows 45kph. They are popular for commuting. You have to wear a helmet. As these EMTBs are classified as a motor vehicle, technically one shouldn’t take them...
Why cut the line? Just swop the lines over. After undoing the line keep your finger over the hole and keep it high. Undo the other one, put a finger over the hole and refit. With a bit of luck no bleed needed and if some air gets in, just do a lever bleed.
On the continent all bikes are set up with front brake on the left. I always understood this is because they drive on the right this means that when when turning left at a junction one can signal left with a left hand leaving one hand on back brake which to a beginner might feel safer as trying...
If you are using the Orbea rise toolbox app the speed you get on that page is coming from the rise and will be the same as on the computer. There is only one page you can have with the Toolbox (with one data field - you choose the fields through the app or Garmin Express) but if you have another...
I’m fairly happy with GPS accuracy. Mountains are not problem as most important thing is clear view to the satellites. Trees and dense forest can be a problem but distances correspond well with mapping. I understand about slipping wheels but I don’t think my wheels have slipped nearly 60k in...
Thanks for replies. Is there a risk of invalidating the guarantee or bricking the motor with these apps? I was interested in whether other people had noticed that the distance measurement by the STEPS computer doesn’t seem to be accurate. However, if it is overestimating distance I think this...
I have done 390k on my H30 Rise, at least according to the on board STEPS computer. However, according to my Garmin edge I’ve done 337k. Yesterday I did a ride which according to my Rise was 33.9kk but my Edge said was 31.1k. Using a mapping program the route came out at 32.2k. I understand that...
I forgot to add that pads have to be worn in too, by the same procedure. If you use the pads gently at first there is risk that they glaze over and don’t work well.
