I mean, it already *is* legally in Europe. e-bikes (which includes e-bikes used on trails on anything except completely private land) are limited to 25km/h and must be pedal assist. If it's faster than that, or has a throttle, then it's a motorbike (and needs tax/insurance/number plates) in...

Do you think it's actually the same frame with only the linkage changing? So no weight saving between the two bikes there (only the carbon rear on the top end Karve)

I’m surprised they’ve not stated weights for these - they must surely have built up a few frames, how difficult is it to put one on a scale? c300g less for each of the fork and shock. A lighter mainframe and the carbon rear end. The rest of the build looks the same so It’s going to be in Rob’s...

with a few rather fundamental errors. Prices are wrong on the Rise page. M10 show on the main page as £4758.07 and only when you click through to customise do you see it's actually 7999

Different people have different needs. If you live in a flat or your bike is stored in an outbuilding then removable batteries might be essential. For other people they're no benefit and add weight and points of failure. The number of times I actually used an RE when I had one was tiny. It...

A new ai driven website?

Thanks for this. I'm on a ep801 Rise carbon. Because I need XL frames I don't get to try that many other peoples bikes properly but my take on this is 'natural feeling' is a factor of - needing a highish cadence to deliver more power (which requires you to work the gears a bit) - not huge...

So, just to confirm what I need - - The EM600 display - you're saying I can connect this to my Rise 25 Carbon using the cables that come with the bike (theres currently a cable from the motor and one from the handlebar display that are joined in the stem with a connector). Those two cable...

This piece is probably relevant with regard to RE's. Looking at 'absolute watts' for clarity you can see the difference between the Avinox 700 and 800 battery performances. Now as you say, is this a real life issue? For many of us probably not - rides tend to not be flat out in situations...

This is where I am. 1) I'm pretty sure I'd never want or need that power. I'd probably limit it far lower - more control at a 85nm/400w would probably be enough but I've not ridden an amflow for any length of time 2) With a RE on you're back to not worrying about conserving battery again in...

This is interesting "Boasting 700Wh capacity, the battery has multiple advantages: three times fast charging with 40 percent higher charging rate for quick recharging; 70 percent lower internal resistance for energy saving; and industry-first 400 long cycles at 45℃, balancing endurance and...

400RE in Q3 so really it's for next years riding season. Interesting - 1100 combined will give a really big range but it's surely going to add enough weight to affect the handling. I could feel when the RE on my Mk1 Orbea Rise was in place and that was only 1.4kg (252wh). Even that's twice...

I've been wondering why they went with a 700 battery as it seems a step backward on the top end bike (almost no-one in the UK was buying it with a 600). I'm guessing it's' a 700 battery because that's as much as they could fit in with the length of those cells in the smallest size frame...

And the cable runs are neat, don’t catch on anything and don’t rub. At least if they are it’s inside where you can’t see it (but no issue on mine after 18 mths)

So Rise owner with Internal H/S routing here. I didn't like the idea. I swapped the brakes on both our Rises (and one of the droppers) when they arrived. Holding all the parts of the headset together was a fiddle. I've just done a complete rebuild of my bike to replace the front triangle...
