Annoy your wife=get a bike (Proud owner of a 2021 Orbea Wild FS H25)

[Alexfa60]

Hi folks,

after months or research, number crunching, video watching, trail dreaming...my wife finally got fed up with me and surprised me with this beauty/beast!
Being the annoying persistent husband paid off, for once !
New Bosh motor, 625w battery and 160mm travel. rolling on 29's this thing is unstoppable! and the range is fantastic. easily 50 miles alternating between TOUR and EMTB mode.
Only 35 miles so far (1 week), but plenty more to come.

The only downside is the stupid Orbea decision to have the rear axle be inserted from the derailed side, which makes it impossible to find an adaptor for the kids trailer. (why oh why did you do this Orbea?) if anybody knows of a workaround, I'm all ears.
(RobertAxleProject does not have a solution, as I have ordered one and had to return it)

I'm in Marin County, North Bay Area, if anyone is down for e-ride, hit me up.

Also, any good recommendation for a hitch trailer for these heavy e-bikes with big tires? so far seems as the 1UP and the Kuat 2.0 are the main contenders, but I'd be willing to spend less than $600 on a bike trailer if possible

Nice bike I've got the 21 H10 and I love it done over 200 miles in a month of ownership ?

I'd love to know how folk get that range out of their bikes , I do 20-22 miles 4000-5000ft up n down normally with 15-20 % battery left , I'd love to get 50 miles out of a charge ?

with 5000ft of climbing, and still reaching a 22Mi range with 15/20% left, it's a actually really good. you can definitely squeeze another 7/10 Mi before it hits zero (and also lowers the assist).

For now my trails have been pretty flat-ish, but planning future trip to more intense trails (and climbs). I'll update once I find the results.

Sweet bike ?.
Have the same motor and battery and agree, the mileage is insane.
Put 124 mi on my Rail 7 in one month, consisting of all mountain trail riding.

That's pretty decent range with that amount of climbing. Hills and speed drain the battery fast.

The most I have had is about 6000 feet over 30 miles in mostly eco mode.

If I leave it in turbo that drops to about 3000 feet and 20 miles

Never ridden in anything but Eco which is an advancement from acoustic.......want to feel it.

There are various factors affecting range ..rider weight ,trail conditions , weather conditions ..you wouldn't get anywhere near 50 miles riding in British weather conditions ( mud & slop) ..on a typical moorland / hill ride using Tour as a " default " setting ...but I guess if you are riding flat..dry terrain then maybe that's achievable .
