Orbea Rise and the E Tube app

[blea]

Has anyone used this app? or the monitors you can buy? I love my Orbea Rise M-Team but I really want something that shows me how much battery I have used. I don't want to wait until the little light indicator tells me I am down to 20%.

Yup. Or the Shimano Ride app. Both will give you a visual indicator of battery level.

Even better, use a Garima watch or cycle computer.

Hey, I purchased a Garmin Vivoactive 3 music on ebay for $99 and downloaded a STEPS ebike app from their IQ store. It connects via bluetooth and gives you battery charge percent and assist mode, works great. Regarding the RS Toolbox, I downloaded it but only got it to connect to bike one time, and then it did not display the battery charge level.

Check out ST Ride, it's better than all the other options if you're not in the Garmin ecosystem.

And they recently added Apple Watch support!

I like to see they are continuing to add more options. Hopefully, they will add Samsung Galaxy watches.

the garmin watch needs to be compatible with the orbea rs toolbox. i have the garmin instinct and it's not compatible. i dont want to buy a new garmin watch. i already have one.

Shimano, (orbea) really needs to step up their game on the app<>ebike calibration options, and overall user experience. You would figure for a company of that size, and the fact they have a decent amount of intergration options, that their app would "WOW" the user who just bought a 5k-15k bike. My 93 toyota camry had more features and functionality than the esteps app.

Specialized definitely is the leader in this market, but one down side is not all models get the all the features, even though its the same tcu/motor/display). Bosch is in a close second and will probably take the lead soon if specialized doesn't bring some new features and integration options to the table. The biggest thing they all FAIL at though is anti-theft enhancements, which is just baffling to me considering how much an average ebike costs and the ease they can be stolen.
