I bought a Orbea Gain M30 Flat Bar Custom direct from Orbea in April 2021, for £4168, the best bike I have ever had, but this year in June the battery failed, I wrote to Orbea about this, and got a short letter back saying, its nothing to do with them, its down to Mahle, the electric part of the bike, now after 4 months and minus £640 the bike is back in use, I hope that I don’t have to do this every 3 years (Paul Bragg)

Ah no way you're on my local roads! Nice to see you're recovered.

Hello sir, new subscriber here. Your videos are inspiring to follow. I hope you'll notice this comment of mine. As I plan to get this bike in the future. I see you cycle here in cold days which Mahle x35 battery shouldn't be ridden on extreme hot or cold. MAY I KNOW the coldest temp you've been out to ride, and how many years now is this bike with you? Also, do you think I can leave it in a cold available room in my workplace for 14hrs? Thats when temperature is 3-6° (January March ) Thanks in advance for your reply.

How old are you?

Well done. Good luck with your recovery.

Nice video and wishing you good luck on your recovery😊

Great job there mate, i found this video really useful for my new yutube channel, all the best👍

Enjoyed the cycle ride on the hills; well done OMC..

Good Video, I also have a D30, I'm 76. years young and decided it was time for an e-bike.

🙏👍👍🚲

Speedy recovery Daryl, enjoyed this vid 😂

Ive had an Orbea Gain D40 for 2 years and I dont really understand the "I have to admit to turning on" and "guilty at passing a cyclist" etc. I bought the Orbea so I could continue to ride a bike round my (hilly) Peak District routes. I use the motor wherever and whenever I feel like it without a second of guilt - its why I bought it. Just ride it and use it with a clear conscious, we've nothing to prove to anybody 🙂

Making a UA-cam video is much harder than it looks!! 😂

😂😂

🚲👍🎥

Wishing you a speedy recovery

Wishing you a speedy recovery, Darell! Get back on the bike as soon as possible!

Love these 👍🏼

Chill man, take it easy on that bike, and lifting that lens. 😊

HI Darrell, I bought an e-bike last November, after struggling to keep up with the club rides, at 76, I thought it wasn't too early for me. It has saved my cycling and I now do longer rides and don't need to worry about suffering from fatigue. As it has saved me, I wanted to call it Jesus, as it is my savior, but my wife thought that was disrespectful, (neither of us follow any religion) so I ended up calling it Brian, as in the film, 'the life of Brian' . Hope all goes well with the operation, I am on the waiting list for the same. All the best, Clive

Good luck mate look forward to seeing you back on the bike Pete D

Good luck with the surgery. The recovery is pretty quick. You will be back on the bike in no time. Cheers 🌞🚴‍♀️👍

Such a beautiful part of the world you live in. All the best with the op!

Hope op goes ok. I too ride the gain and love it, almost 67

I also have a Gain, I've also laugh at the ebike knockers, these people have never been on an e-bike in their lives. I live in Spain with many mountains. My average ride is 85km with approx 2000m of climbing. These knockers don't mention that these bikes are nearly twice as heavy as a non-e-bike and switch off at 15 mph / 25km after that we are cycling a heavy bike. I ride with a retired (55) PE teacher/ex-pro rugby player and it's tough work to get near him on the flat but catch up on the hills. Good luck with your operation. (Ps. I am 64)

I've had to go e bike mostly use electric for headwinds and hills , don't care what people say it helps me get out ,78 in 2 months ,so old git on a bike 😅

Great video, good luck with the operation. All the best from West Yorkshire.

if you had only one, you'd stick with dji or gopro?

Good luck for your op. Hope it all goes well!

LOVE the outtakes!!!❤

Some of the recent mid-drive ebikes, including mine, have enough drag to make peddling without assist unenjoyable. I keep mine in ECO mode and bump the assist for hills as needed. I think some of the newest bikes, like yours, are very nimble with the motor completely off.

You should stick to the trainer or go for a stroll in the garden. One slide out on your dorky motorcycle and you're going to crack your rattly old man bones.

For me it depends on the route. If its flat and long I tend to keep assist off and pushing hard for speed assist wouldn't kick in anyway and it makes it feel harder to transition to above 25kph and knowing I have assist as a backup to help me get home makes me push harder. Now when it comes to hills. Short hills even hard I don't use assist but anything longer than 2-3 min of climb I can't keep ~18kph I will use assist usually to the max or automatic based on BPM. Still I have the same effort or even higher as it tends to make me go harder because I'm going faster. So my BPM is usually higher on climbs with assist but I'm going faster therefore effort is oddly more intense but significantly shorter. I sometimes attack hills more aggressively than I think I could knowing I have assist if I don't manage to do it. It's as much physical as psychological aid for me.

Nice to see you riding. Just wanted to share that I was using the handlebar mount for an Insta360, but no matter how tight I clamped it, it kept rotating. Eventually it started to dig into the bars. I'm now looking for other mount options. Also, have you tried using an air fryer? Don't need to use any cooking oil. I've cooked all sorts of things; chicken, steak, fish, pork. All of them with simple salt and pepper seasoning. Cook fast and easy to clean. Might be something to look into.

There is no bullet proof conventional material for bikes, unless you just potter about, if you ride them hard enough and for long enough they all break. I have owned Reynolds 753, 653, 531c, Titanium and Aluminium in the early part of my cycling. All frames broke in time doing about 300 miles per week. I am not heavy but put out quite a lot of power, being able to win open CTTC events in the past. My latter bikes are all carbon a 1992 Dunlop Hotta Perimiter TT bike ( the same frame as ridden by Jason Queally to olympic track gold and Chris Newton for team Linda Mcartney ) A quite recent Trek Speed Concept, An older Cannondale Super six evo sram red and a recent Cannondale System six dura ace. All these Carbon Framed bikes have not broken. Obviously i am a carbon fan. They are lighter, mostly aero shaped tubes and obviously faster because of it and lighter. The super six evo being 6.8 kg but of older round tube design. Round tube frames can be made lighter because a circle is the strongest shape per weight of material, perfect for slower hill climbs.

For older people or disabled otherwise lazy

E bikes are great for older people,comuting or sick people.But as a purist I will never buy one.Also the production of E bikes is not good for the environment.They have similar problems as electric cars when it comes to the environment.

I don't have an e bike, but my son does, and I agree with you that the weight of his certainly doesn't mean he's lazy

Old bikes for me, my newest is a 2014 Cannondale CAA8 but mostly ride my late 90s Shogun Samurai, newer quality wheels and brakes and it rides like a dream

I'll still stick to my road bike I actually like to work out my legs unlike most people

Raced as a 1st cat in uk I’ve now a heart condition so have a ribble ebike so I can keep heart lower on climbs

I bought an e-bike in 2017 because I wanted to make scenic indoor cycling videos. I was too slow climbing the scenic Colorado mountains where I live to make decent videos. The e-bike solved the problem. What surprised me was all the other benefits I discovered. With the e-bike I was riding more and in more places. I was no longer intimidated by tough climbs, strong wind, or fast group rides. I actually got more fit riding with the e-bike as measured by the data from my Garmin Edge and heart rate monitor. The e-bike put me in control of my workouts, not the hills or wind. On a regular bike there were times when I would take on too big of a challenge with long climbs or strong headwinds. I would become exhausted miles from home and be forced to ride slowly which makes the ride that much longer. With an e-bike I can simply increase the level of assist. I suddenly go faster, cool off with the increased breeze, and break out of the doldrums with the exhilaration that comes with speed. My UA-cam channel is Jerry's Scenic Cycling. My viewers are mainly male over 65. I have over 23,000 miles on my e-bike and I'm 80 years old.

In my daily travelings in the bike I see maybe 1 e-bike rider pedaling all the rest are coasting along with most of them on the sidewalk ignoring the bike lane. If it has a motor it’s a motor bike not a bicycle

when you can't ride a real bike anymore then it's time for an E Bike, i have no problem with E bikes, but theres a time and a place for them.

I'm not against E-bikes, but my thoughts are if you're healthy then you don't need one. I'm now seeing more e-bikes on my local mountain bike trails than normal bikes; it can be a bit of an issue when the e-bikers are overtaking you on the uphills, then completely getting in the way and slowing you down on the downhills and the technical sections.. I'm getting on a bit, and if I needed one for medical reasons I'd get one, but until then, no way.

EBikes are not all ridden by lazy people. However, if you are reasonably fit and start riding an eBike you WILL LOSE FITNESS. 😢

I am 74 and still going very well on my non-electric bike thanks but quite likely in a few years I'll be looking to add a motor to my cycling. Anything that keeps you mobile on two wheels for longer is just fine by me!

Hi, can you please tell me the make of the small frame bag you have on the top tube?
