I hope you'll continue to share experience with upgrades - especially on the fork retrofit.
I've "upgraded" by buying an Orbea Wild that's compatible with my hybrid reaction pro's 500wh battery. The logic is that once the hybrid's warranty runs out I can experiment with making it faster. If I...
Is there a catch where the original owner must register the warranty with the brand within a window of purchase?
I just bought Orbea for first time and was surprised to learn that one must register within a month or two of buying to gain lifetime warranty on frame.
I recently bought this Wild H30 for $3.7k cash with tax and tubeless conversion from LBS in the resigned presence of the MRS.
My better half seemed to be cheered by fact that my new obsession financially damaged us less than the Cube's out the door impact of $4.1k almost two years ago and that...
The cube came with tubeless ready rims which the cheapest Treks at the time did not. The stock tires were NOT tubeless ready so I asked the shop for customer rejects which work well enough for me.
I was also looking at the orbea urrun at the time but the castrated motor system and nonremovable...
Ha, I'm going to practice lip quivering in the mirror - good tip!
My selling point to the MRS was the
This is my first emtb, Cube Hardtail Reaction Pro 500 from 2022 or 2021. I swapped in an ancient thudbuster LT from 2010 and favorite seat. I'm 6.2 and 34 inseam. The bike is XXL I got...
Woah, my wife would kick me out if bought home an EXE, but a fancy saddle is quite interesting and potentially affordable!
However the MRS may get suspicious if I start enthusing about my "cheeks being cupped" or my "pelvic bones being measured"...
More seriously, is that a good seat for...
I have cube hardtail with thudbuster suspended seatpost and just bought orbea wild full suspension with dropper.
The orbea wild is definitely better even on streets. It's my first bike with dropper, so I didn't think I'd use it so much on pavement, but it's definitely useful to drop down at...
I have two bosch emtbs and the 500wh powertubes are easily swappable. The older has six months warranty left and I just bought a new one.
Can I use the "old" battery that is still under warranty with the new bike and "save" my "new" battery in order to extend the total warranty window?
At this...
Is the torque reduction in response to low battery only feature of the newer smart system? I have the plain purion.
I'd hate getting less power at end of ride - I can look at display and make decision to drop power myself.
I suppose though that this may be a battery longevity saving feature...
Perhaps I did not look hard enough, but I'm confused by Bosch's description of EMTB mode. I have gen4 cx with Purion in a 2022 Orbea Wild h30.
Does EMTB adjust only "in the moment" - i.e. does it only care how hard I am pushing on the pedals? Or is there some other considerations, like speed...
Did it work? I just bought a closeout 2022 Orbea Wild FS H30 with 500wh so am curious if others upgraded. 500 seems enough for me but may upgrade in distant future if battery degrades with use
Thanks for all the advice:
Got brand new 2022 Orbea Wild H30 for $3.4k on closeout. There was almost new 2022 Rail 7 for same price without tax on craigslist but no warranty and I wanted to make relationship with local shop. The 625 battery on the Rail would not be compatible with the existing...
Having bought the 2022 Orbea Wild H30, I can now confirm that the Powertube 500 batteries are interchangeable with the cube reaction 500 without any irritating brackets or other doodads and happily the charger is the same.
I'm now on cube/bosch hardtail with thudbuster so it seems like the short rear travel is just enough for what I'm used to plus I'd be able to use dropper.
I'm probably going to go ahead with a rail or wild which are obviously at opposite end of spectrum in most ways from caliber but I may as...
I have Cube Hybrid Reaction Pro with the powertube 500. I am about to buy a 2021 Orbea Wild that is also supposed to come with powertube 500.
Will anything stop me from switching batteries back and forth?
I almost bought a trek rail but realized I'd have to deal with the rib thing.
Any other...
I'm thinking about buying a used 2022 Rise with 360 battery. Suppose if the main battery has glitches as it ages, would adding the extender somehow fix potential problems?
Sorry but not an electrical engineer, so not sure if I'm phrasing my question correctly.
I usually do short lunch time...
I went to trek shop to see the e-caliber in person and it looks gorgeous at the closeout price. The manager cringed when I asked about reliability especially since I'm 210 lbs and obviously unathletic. Reliability aside, I would buy it for sure since want cheap light bike for short lunchtime...
