This was my first time in anger on a e-mountain bike and luckily for me I got to have it on an Orbea Rise H15. I had no idea I was was going to fall so instantly in love with an Electric mountain bike. Watch the full video if you have the time, if not..I'll spoil it for you!.... I LOVED IT !
This is an honest impression of what I thought or the Orbea Rise and to be fair, think I'd love a lot of e-bikes ....as its safe to say "I think have the bug"!
The Orbea certainly feels as natural as i'd hoped it would be. Indeed it does feel just like a normal analog trail bike with none of the normal negatives that you hear people complaining about with the extra weight of a battery and motor that come hand in hand with an e-bike.
Did I notice the noisy rattle & clunk often mentioned regarding the Shimano EP600 RS motor?
was it a problem?
in short. Not at all!
Feel free to comment and ask me any questions regarding the Orbea Rise if you're thinking of buying one!
