    Orbea Rise sizing

    Yep - the stem it comes with could not be any shorter!

    Orbea Rise sizing

    Just got it this week and have only pootled in town so far. But I can't imagine handling anything larger than the M. It feels very good. To be honest it is already so big that I can't fit it in my bike store or get it out my gate without a struggle! The store was going to get me a L in to try...

    Orbea Rise sizing

    Inconveniently it got nicked 2 weeks ago. Bolt cutters out of my Trimetals bike store.

    Orbea Rise sizing

    That's good to know. I appreciate the offer. To be honest, I would not know where to start with measurements! Cheers. You are to L on the chart what I am to size M (i.e. right at the end of the height range). Do you feel like you are at the limit of the bike size (e.g. seat fully extended)...

    Orbea Rise sizing

    Hey folks. I'm 5'9 174cm. Have a deposit down on an Orbea Rise size M due next week. There weren't any size charts when I was making my choice (or at least I had not seen one) and the main thing driving my size choice was that I found my 2008 Stumpy size L to be be too large. Obviously that's a...

    Charging EP8 from 12V solar

    I'm going to get myself a pure sinewave inverter and see how I go. I can charge the laptop off that too.

    Charging EP8 from 12V solar

    Nice idea. It can be pretty windy there and is just over the hill from a huge wind farm. Wind took the roof off the cabin last winter! So that would be an good choice for the seasons when the solar is rubbish. Not that I'm totally fairweather - but it tends to be quite nice when I'm there. :)

    Charging EP8 from 12V solar

    :LOL: So long as there is enough sunlight to keep my 0.2A "composting" loo fan going all year round I can at least keep things fairly civilised.

    Charging EP8 from 12V solar

    Cheers. Was hoping to find a more portable solution than a large W inverter but looks like that's what people are doing. I'd seen this for Bosch on ebay.

    Charging EP8 from 12V solar

    I just put a deposit down on an Orbea Rise with the EP8 motor. Is there a way to charge the batteries from a 12V source? Such as the car battery, even if only whilst driving? I also have a 240W solar array with 3 x 110A batteries on an off grid cabin where I expect to mostly use the bike...

    Cannondale Topstone Neo Carbon Lefty 3

    Any owners on here? So I used to mountain bike - badly. Been off for a few years because of health stuff and now considering riding again, with an e bike so as to be able to keep up with friends. Took a while to accept the price points! I was originally looking at the Sp Levo SL because it is...
