    I'm starting to regret getting my Orbea Rise...

    Rise H15 - the seat is a marmite thing; I find it fine @68kg but YMMV. Currently at 1500 miles and fine - I'm more nervous about the frame cracking around those drain holes than the motor, but at least it has a lifetime warranty.

    Advice for new eMTB owners that you wish someone had given you

    (Orbea chargers drop the battery to 80% if you leave them connected.) Have three chains and rotate them until the cassette is worn, then replace chains and cassette, then repeat.

    Might have brushed against a couple but as compensation a group of us cleared about half an acre of brambles over winter to let these flourish . .

    How many km/ before changing a chain and drive train?

    Orbea Rise on 2,800km still on OE cassette and rotating 3 chains. I clean and lube it every ride.

    That's the crux of it - billion dollar industry which spends millions bribing politicians to convince everyone they're safer with a gun which leads to this . .

    Stolen! Orbea Wild 2023 -

    Unless the thieves carry a bigger gun plus they have the element of surprise so no, that doesn't work . . if they want it they'll get it regardless hence the OP - if they're carry angle grinders and wifi jammers then adding a gun isn't going to be an issue for them.
