2,900mi / 4,666km and still on my first motor. I have been through 2 speed sensors and still get occasional speed sensor error codes. Motor seems to limit power and acts a bit weird occasionally. Hoping to get one more season out of it and then fire sale the bike.

I have a friend with a transition relay that does just that. That solution isn't quite optimum for me and presents enough draw backs that it stops me from sinking the large amount of money into the bike for a less then perfect operational experience. The nice thing about carrying two range...

This is the exact reason that I haven't bought a transition relay or a heckler SL to replace my orbea rise. I desperately want either of those bikes, have the cash ready and waiting... but I do a ton of very large rides on my rise with the main battery and 2 range extenders. Not having the...

I have run a fox float x with a 2mm offset bushing in the eyelet/basevalve side of the shock on my XL frame. I have tried it this way with both the cascade link and with the stock link. There is barely room for the float X to not hit my frame, maybe .5mm to 1mm at most. I predominantly run...

It will not happen on a rise without a new seat stay design... IE, this will never happen on existing 2021-2023 rises.

my buddy has a large h-series that he is bringing over for me to install a cascade link for him. I'm supposed to do that thursday... I'll try out the fit and report back.

I usually run out of range due to climbing before mileage. I can usually get about 6,000' of elevation gain out of the built in batter and the range extender, around 8,500-9,000' if I'm carrying the second range extender. That usually ends up around 20-35 miles or so. A lot of the climbs I do...

Been quite in here lately... I think my rise has reached it's final form now. Planning on keeping it for another riding season (12 months or so) then moving onto something else if something else is available. For reference, my riding weight is 185lbs. My build is pretty specific... I wanted a...

I use the orbea rs toolbox with my fenix 6 for my rise. My wife uses the shimano steps data field on her garmin forerunner 965. I don't have many issues with the orbea rs toolbox... initial setup with the rs toolbox is a bit of pill and it can get a bit weird and connect to another rise if...

A few comments based on getting my wife into mtb starting in 2020. We ended up getting her an m20 orbea rise, in size medium. -beginners, particularly women are very focused on standover being the determining factor of bike fit. Very shortly after gaining experience, this fades away as they...

Check the chain with an idiot proof chain gauge, my preference is the pedro's one. Make sure your B-tension is set properly and that your chain is cut to the proper length. There is a lot of counterfit shimano stuff on the market right now... I would not buy through ebay in the future as the...

I run gx axs on my rise. I have run slx in the past. Wear rate for both of those was the same in my experience. FWIW, my experience is that the cassettes typically wear out the 10-18t cogs well before the 20-52t cogs... so IMO, there is no reason to avoid a higher end cassette other then...

I'm still dialing in my rise with the above listed setup. Overall, it rides much nicer at speed/descending but there are some things to note with regards to overall balance. As I mentioned before, I upped the spring rate by about 40lbs, which is just under 10%. It feels as if that I still...

I'm also the same kind of idiot. I put a honda k24 engine into a 99 miata and built my own wiring harness and ECU, I also put an gm ls3 short block in the back of a 2004 911 Carrera 2s and I built a 24 hours of lemons car out of an 82 bmw 318 that had a 3.5L inline 6 from a 92 740i...

I agree with a level of annoyance in emtb right to repair and life of the product consumer control... but other then that there are some crazy things being thrown out in this thread. Batteries are one area where I too would want the ability to rebuild a battery pack... but ISO, UL, CSA and CE...
