    Need advice on Orbea vs Cube

    I went to the excellent e-bikeshop.co.uk I'm Farnham Surrey and saw many models of a carbon rise. Decided to go for the medium H15 in grey and blue. It is "supposed" to come in around 4 weeks. Fingers crossed.

    Ah you must be tall. The cube in my small size is only a 625 but with our weights it's probably about the same. I guess if I get the cube I can spend the extra money on upgrades!

    Do you mean that the rise feels more natural because its lighter?

    You make a good point which makes me think I should go cube. Apart from the weight which is much less important on an ebike there are no advantage to the orbea, as if you want the "less powerful more natural ride" just turn the cube down to eco or trail. But if you want the massive torque, on...

    Actually I think the h15 has deore M6100 4 pots. The h30 has 2 pots. Not sure about the carbon ones.

    Thanks. I think I've discounted the m20. It's not much lighter and when you factor in that the h has a larger battery which accounts for 900g of the difference the carbon frame itself is only worth 1kg, which is too little for the cost imo. The cube has xt 4 pots and the h15 has deore, so...

    So looking at pros and cons: Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 SL 27.5 inch wheels: - Cheapest at £4599 (I take a small so it is £200 pounds cheaper than stock with a 620wh instead of 750 and 27.5" wheels) - Good display with phone satnav connection - Good specs but slightly worse/heavier forks. No stock...

    I have already paid a deposit on a Cube which is transferable. the shop has an H15 in stock, but it is in the Orange colour i don't like. I would like the Blue and Grey one which they insist is coming in Feb - I have seen this date in multiple shops so assuming that Orbea is dropping a lot of...

    Hi, no I am not looking at Credit. It is the bike to work scheme, so I get about £1200 off and my work also gives me a monthly "fitness" allowance as well to put towards something like this. Marriage yes! My missus thinks that my max budget is £3900, so I am taking a risk even with the Cube, hehe.

    Hi. Can you explain what 70% eco means pls? Does that mean 70% of the available power overall? or 70% of the available power that eco mode has? Thanks!

    Thanks for the reply. Would you say that the rise in turbo mode is like a full fat ebike in trail mode? With similar power and hence range? I know what you mean about adding a range extender to the carbon one but then it weighs only a few hundred grams less than the alloy one but at a thousand...

    Need advice on Orbea vs Cube

    Hi all. I wonder if anyone can assist me with a purchase. I have narrowed down my search to a Cube Stereo Hybrid 140 or an Orbea Rise H15. My situation is I am a small rider 5ft5, 10 stone, who has been riding a hard tail for 25 years and want my first ebike. I generally ride single-track...
