If anyone is still curious my dealer was saying 800-1k depending on where you get the battery from. Orbea might have some left but it's Shimamo who is now supporting that battery. I am just going to ride it till it dies and change it then.

what hardware did you have to buy to install it? I've always had problems with my DPX2 and saw that the canecreek is on sale right now.

I was wondering if anyone replaced the internal battery yet on the rise and how much it cost them? I’m waiting on orbea to respond to my dealer.

Thanks that’s what I thought about this bike.

I ordered the team XTR. I hope this will be an upgrade to my rise. On paper it’s slightly lighter, better suspension, little bit more range and power than the rise. Also no ep8 clacking. The two biggest issues I have with the rise is the range and the noise. The dw link suspension and weight...

My bike shop is putting in a warranty request. Meanwhile I am debating on which old rear wheel I want to use. Spokes felt fine. I really like the Hydras I got on my Nobl TR32 recently for my exie.

I have the vault hubs on it that came with the M10. Its on the microspline driver. I will change the rear wheel just to check. I did replace the cassette for a brand new one yesterday and it did not help. My bike shop did tell me they took apart the hub to service and didn't find anything but I...

I'll go ahead and do that while I do the chain and chainring as well just to cover all my bases. Hoping one of the 3 fixes it. If not I will probably have to see about replacing the rear axle bearings.

So I did the whole upper pivot assembly and while the suspension action itself is smoother that isn't where my creaking is coming from it seems. I narrowed it down to somewhere around the rear axle. The slower I pedal the louder it is. I just changed the cassette to make sure it wasn't that. I...

Can you repost some of the pictures? They dont show up anymore. The LBS I bought my rise from took apart most of the motor mount bolts and the rear axle and I still have the creaking noise so it seems like I am going to have to take apart all the pivots and bearings to lubricate them.

Yea. I called, emailed and had my dealer ask repeatedly and they just wouldn’t do anything so I am done with them. I wanted reserve wheels for my other bikes but I’m not sure sure anymore on principle.

I didn’t order an MX version I ordered the 29er but they sent the MX. I kept asking if there was anything they could do and they told me to basically F off if I didn’t take it someone else would and they won’t do anything for me. My dealer gave me a deal so I took it and because of that I took a...

I keep buying new ones to try different things as well. The heckler has been the least impressive to me and santa cruz's customer service is partly the reason why I am not keeping it. I love my Rail and Rise, but I am curious about the Brose motor. If the Sworks Levo doesnt work out for me I am...

Its a big improvement over last year's heckler. I bought the S build on the last heckler and sold it after only a week with it. This new one is a lot better but IMO the Levo Gen 3, and Rail are better full powered e bikes. The Levo and Rail both feel more powerful and have more range, especially...

Having the EP8 RS in the 21 Rise, the EP8 in the 22 Heckler and the CX gen 4 in the 21 Rail 9.7. The CX gen 4 feels more powerful, assists more up to the limit and is more efficient. I am by far the fastest on the Rail 9.7 its just so fast at kicking in and keeping the assist vs either EP8's...
