    Orbea Rise sizing

    Kinda small for sure… I am 6’1” and my wife has a medium Rise and I would never ride that on anything big

    Range Extender Died

    The ability to rebuild an existing battery bank “how to” video would help even… where to purchase the cells, tools required, etc.

    Range Extender Died

    As there are many of this make and model sold I would hope that a company would start producing these and the primary battery in an after market solution. I for one have two of these bikes and would be eager to purchase one of each or having the ability to repair my existing ones as needed.

    If you couldn’t ride bikes anymore…

    My wife says you could be having a long term allergy problem and that you should try the fodmap diet, look it up… and she said it could be an electrolyte imbalance… both free and fast ways to eliminate those possibilities…

    Range Extender Died

    Leave the range extender unplugged until your main battery light goes on for last 20% to not burn down the extender

    Any tall Orbea Rise riders out there?

    I am 6’ 2” but have a longer torso and have an XL and feel really good with my position in down hill steep… the only complaint I have ever had is the bottom bracket height so go with shorter cranks to reduce pedal strikes.

    Orbea Rise (carbon) replacement battery available?

    An update on this topic would be great... the range extender seems very pricey for what it is... I have to believe you could make your own extender with the proper voltage and adapter cord?? but I make this statement with very close to zero understanding of what is required for a safe, reliable...

    So, did you keep or sell your non eMTB? Any regrets?

    I sold my analog (Kona 153) bike as the geometry was just too close to the Rise (modified 150/150) and then bought a new analog that was lighter (Norco Fluid) faster tires,etc.

    Can’t decide 2023 Orbea Rise M10 vs 2023 Levo SL

    I would personally push you to the Rise without a doubt but Frankyspec is right, you should find a place that can broker you actually getting on a Rise first… call a dealer who sells them and ask them if they have sold one to anybody or if their Orbea sales rep can be at the shop with one for...

    Old guy from South Carolina. New 2023 Rise m10.

    You have a great bike! I have the 2020 version… I only charge it when I get below 30% and sometimes that can be a couple short rides… my battery is still very healthy… I leave it on the charger no more than 5 hours and it has always charged up fully before then.

    Full Face - When do you decide to wear one?

    Anytime I jump I wear a full face… I do not want anymore wholes in my chin. Oh and any down hill parks

    Motorhome owners

    My 5th wheel has a class III hitch and I put a bike rack in it for transportation and we have 2 bedrooms so the bikes go in the 2nd bedroom when we set up camp anywhere… here in the states I use T-Mobile home internet if where we camp does not have WiFi

    Full Face Helmet drill down thoughts

    Ever since I did this a few years back I have been wearing the TLD Stage.. it fits great, comes with three sets of pads to fit just right and you can purchase replacement parts for the liners… and I am turning 60 this year

    Discounted Bike and parts Thread - cheap(er) ebikes & stuff

    Like everything, it depends… I do a lot of my riding with my wife so if I were to ride hers she would not be riding with me… but I had a time when mine was down for warranty work and I rode my analog while she road her ebike in eco/trail mode.. prices are always lower at year end… the only risk...
