    Bought the Cycplus AS2 ultra inflator. So small yet can inflate 3 tyres and recharge in 25 minutes.

    I've owned an Orbea Rise for close to 4 years with no rattle or any other motor issues whatsoever. Just recently changed the main electrical harness so hopefully get another few years.

    Orbea Rise - Charging/Cabling Fault Finding

    I ended up ordering the Cascade Components, Orbea Rise Pre-Load kit. Quite expensive ($88 incl postage) in the UK as I needed to order it from US.

    eMTB Cleaning / Motor protection

    A waterless wash works really well on mountain bikes. I've used Muc off waterless wash for a number of years now ( Winstanley bikes are doing the 5 litre for 60% off).

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Last year I bought Bertschat heated bicycle gloves, as I get really cold hands during the winter months. I only use them when temperature falls below freezing. They are a bit bulky but no more than my ski gloves. I generally use them at low/med heat setting which is good enough for a few hours...

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    With winter now here and conditions in my local getting more muddy by the day, I decided to get Schwalbe Shredda Gravity for front and rear. All being well they should arrive and be fitted by the weekend.

    Orbea Rise - Charging/Cabling Fault Finding

    Thanks for pointing this out. I have already ordered the power supply harness to the battery from Westbrook Cycles, however after giving it another check it still has plenty of plastic on the inner guide arm . I checked it out on Westbrook Cycles website and it is out of stock. The chain stay...

    Orbea Rise - Charging/Cabling Fault Finding

    On your advice I've decided to replace the main power harness as well as the power switch harness. I ordered it today and plan to fit this at the same time as replacing the pivot bearings even although the bearings are still quite good . It makes sense to have these jobs done before the Spring .

    Orbea Rise - Charging/Cabling Fault Finding

    Thanks again. I am in two minds about replacing the main power supply harness to the battery and motor harness. I discovered yesterday that there is definitely a fault with the power switch wiring harness which I'm replacing. When I popped the switch out and held the wires behind it it would...

    Orbea Rise - Charging/Cabling Fault Finding

    My Orbea Rise wouldn't switch on today so decided to carry out continuity testing with everything appearing to be good. When I connected everything back together it switched on . I think the on/off switch is playing up as an hour or so later it wouldn't switch on but after removing it and...

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    I had to order a new set of mounting bolts for my Shimano RS motor on my Orbea Rise. When tightening the to 12nm one of the heads came clean off, unfortunately you need to buy a full mounting set

    Orbea Rise - Charging/Cabling Fault Finding

    Thanks for this, these articles are so informative. I'm considering carrying out this pivot service after the winter as I'm not getting the same issues that others have had. Local weather has been very wet lately and the trails I use are muddy with plenty of standing water. My wife and myself...
