All New 2023 Orbea Wild

[VWsurfbum]

So I just purchased the PowerMore 250 external battery (live in US, had to buy from shop in Italy due to availability) along with the Orbea mounting hardware for my 2023 Wild.

Everything is due to arrive this week. Checked my Flow App and it shows the PowerMore Battery as a compatible component.

Hopefully I don't have any issues with battery being a Euro model and my bike is set up as a US.

Has anyone followed the same path or had any success with adding PowerMore 250 to a 2023 Wikd

I have a range extender, its big and heavy but works well. (well the 2 times I've actually used it) If I've burnt through my 750 battery, I'm usually knackered by then anyway lol.

It is plug and play, but I had the hardware installed at the shop, (I don't think its any different??) the mounting system is cool though and comes with a bottle cage too.

From what I've read and a video review I watched , it pulls from both at the same time. Looks like if your main battery runs completely dry, you can connect PowerMore and even ride in boost.


The cable Orbea states to use in 300mm in length. From what I can tell, might be a little longer than you need. Think 200mm would be fine.

Once I receive my range extender and connect it, will post a follow up message on compatibility and how it performs.

The Bosch PowerMore 250 arrived today from Italy and the Orbea mounting bracket from England arrived as well. Connected PowerMore to my Wild and it seems to work as hoped. The PowerMore was not recognized via Bluetooth as a connected component. You need to open Flow App and look for 2 battery icons to see if it's connected.

It came about 40% charged and I'm using same charging cable that plugs into Wild to charge the PowerMore and it works perfectly!

Going on an epic climbing ride this weekend that drained my Wild battery dry last time I rode. See no reason why I won't be able to get in many more miles.

I was thinking about getting the AXS Derailleur with the power cord that plugs into the motor so you don't need to keep up with charging a seperate battery, The manual says to use a 800mm cord, but I only see it offered in 780mm and 955mm, I would prefer less slack hanging around if 780mm would be long enough, but I suppose it's better to have more than needed than not enough?

Anyone else running this system in general on the wild?

Thanks!
is there a model number to search for with the piggyback vertical? Most I find are sideways. Also any special mounting hardware needed?
