New rise 540 instead of 360

[Flotfyrdk]

I bought a new rise m10 with a 360 battery but got the 540. Should i get the battery swapped? Or keep it? How much is the difference In handling? Thats my concern.

Google says that 360 battery weighs ~1.9kg, 540 battery weighs ~2.7kg

Keep it, you'll hardly notice the difference. Lucky thing! ;-)

I know the difference In Weight, just a bit curious if Any had tried both and noticed the handling? Because i Got a range extender too in the deal.

How long are you planning to ride in km's ?

 

[Flotfyrdk]

My rides are usual 20-30 km

What "difference in handling" would concern you?

 

[Flotfyrdk]

Feeling sluggish, Harder to lift front end.

I am coming from a full fat and Want to have the more nimble experience

Only you know your riding conditions so only you can decide whether an extra 0.8kg of weight on the front will matter or not.

The new M10/20 is extremly poppy....even with the large battery.

I ride 32 kms with the old M10 (2021) and RangeExtender - and I now go the same distance with M20 (2023) and the large battery (with the same motor presets)

I recommend that you keep the large battery (it's not that large anyway).

maybe its a chance for some longer rides with the range extender

I will take it to the trails soon, thank you.

Hi - exact same thing has just happened to me. I’ve not taken it out for a ride yet. I’m interested to hear how you got on and if you kept the 540?

Return it. Nothing worse than getting more than what you paid for!
edit:

I know…seems crazy to be thinking about returning it but as a lighter rider (72kg) I’ve been really wanting a super light bike having previously had a 23.5kg bike. The M10 in size M weighs 20.3kg with pedals on and I was expecting more like 19kg if I went tubeless.

Update - I contacted Orbea directly with the bike serial number and they confirmed that it was assembled with a 360 battery and suggested the Shimano etube app may have a bug. I replied asking what the weight should be and they said that they don’t publish the weights! I took the bike out today on the road and covered 11 miles using mixed modes, 1600 feet elevation and still had 80% of battery left (no range extender) so I’m happy with that although I’m still a bit disappointed with the weight.

I Kept it, 19.97 kg without pedals m10 2023 size L

Can do about 35 km In boost

+100 kg
