I’ve got over 20000 logged miles in a saddle in my adulthood. Just bought this bike and literally I feel like a little kid again, all I want to do is ride.
Deja Vu 🤔
Or is it Dave-ja Vu 😜
Thanks Steve for sharing your thoughts and emotions … people do need to understand …
warning: do not watch this video if you are the USA.
I own the 2022 Orbea Rise H and want to upgrade to the Orbea Rise LT Carbon with the big battery. Bigger is better as far as I am concerned for the riding I do
Orbea for sure
rubbish review, too busy posing for the camera
I've been waiting for a Rise with the current LT geo, and now it's even available with 85 Nm... No more excuse, this is the one. Yeah, Bosch SX might be more reliable, but this is a proven design as well, with clattering etc on the known negatives side, but it's quite good.
An amazing story and brilliantly delivered. Thank you for sharing
Hi Steve, thank you for getting in touch and taking the time to watch our video, it is much appreciated. If you know of anyone who may benefit from watching the video, we would be very grateful if you would share it. Kind regards Steve
The Welans GF25 is actualy a YADEA ebike model ys500 which comes in two models
Too bad the bike names are not in a list I could read… also anyway I could find these in the US?
Thanks for getting in touch. I have now edited the description with the bikes listed. I have also included below. You should be able to source all of the bikes fairly easily in the US, the only bike that might be slightly tricky is the Kalkhoff. Thanks for watching.

@@ebikecentre thank you so much!!😊
Thank you, Steve, for sharing your story, which I found really moving and humbling. I am a keen cyclist but having an e-bike, bought at the e-Bike Centre, has made such a difference to my life and has widened my horizons considerably (as you know when we have talked!). Thank you to you and your team, and my best wishes for your future. I think I may know which charity to support on my next mad ride!
Hi Dorothy, it’s always nice to hear from you. I hope you are well. Thank you very much for watching the video and for getting in touch. I know Blood Cancer UK or DKMS would be incredibly grateful for any support, thank you. If you know of anyone who this video could help, we would be grateful if you could share it with them. We hope to see you in the shop soon. All the best Steve
I walked into a bike shop and was shown this bike, I liked it but was expensive. My gut feeling, I was paying for the brand name. I did 1 weeks worth of research and brought a Focus jam2 6.7 for $400 dollars more and it's incredible.
If I lived closer to your shop I would be in to see you all of the time, unfortunately Oxfordshire is a little too far especially on my e-bike. Please let me know when you are doing any sponsored events as I will gladly sponsor you. David
Hi David, thank you very much for taking the time to watch the video and for contacting us. Your kind offer of sponsorship is greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Steve.
Truly Amazing story and video I would like to wish you all and your families the very best for the future ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much 😀
It has been an honour to get to know you once again.. Best
I've been looking at the Rise and had an extended test of one back in March and loved it, Cant wait to be able to buy one, I am looking at an Alloy version but want the EP801 motor.
Too bad it's not available with a Bosch SX. I try it on a Flyer And it's so fun. 16,6kg in total.
The Bosch SX is an excellent motor. However, we have found that the mid power e-bikes with around 50-60Nm have not been as popular as manufacturers expected. I personally love mid-power mid-weight but it appears most of the market wants full-power hence the new Rise having the full 85Nm motor. Orbea are hoping to find the sweet spot between full power and “lighter” weight. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Why is this the same...very same, bike that's in a dozen other UA-cam review videos? Having the bike for a day or two, is not enough for a review. That's the issue with UA-cam marketing. It's more of a car commercial. Telling us all-the-good. Reserving any of the bad. And e-bikes, have a-lot of bad. Butif ya can afford to pay 10 grand for a bicycle, problems are just not a consideration. Right?
I’ve got to say, you’re very observant, it is the very same bike in all the early UK review videos. That’s because it was the first Rise LT in the UK, so we all had to wait our turn for it. I disagree with you regarding that only having the bike for a day or two doesn’t give you time to make a judgement about a bike. Of course having it for an extended period is better and will allow you to do a more in depth review of the bike. Unfortunately, when a bike has just been released we do not have that luxury. However….. we do now have a couple of Rise LTs for an extended test and we will be releasing an extended test video in the near future. Thanks for taking the time to watch the video and comment, we do appreciate the feedback. Jason
Is this comparable to the tenways ago x? Or is orbea def the better brand/bike :)?
It looks amazing and I want one, but let's be honest, E-Bike prices are out of control. You can buy a decent used Nissan Leaf EV Car with a 200km range for the same prices as this bike. Even Decathlon take basic £200 Shopper bikes" and charge £1200 for the E version. Swytch Bikes sell Electric conversions for £500, and presumably they are making a few hundred quid on that (You even get a free front wheel included in that price). As an engineer I just can't see where that huge extra E-Bike cost is coming from. I'm buying a Nissan Leaf all day long (actually I have one already).
Did we get a range count on the 630wh? And can a range extender fit?
I got one... not too bad at all. I have the transcend.
Thanks for the video, helped me pull the trigger on the Trek, excited!
What a shit 💩 e bike video
I have a 2023 rise. Wish I waited haha I love the fact that you can customize the paint job on the 2025 models
The custom paint jobs are a really nice touch, but ultimately the 2023 Rise is a very capable and enjoyable ride. Thanks for watching 👍
@@ebikecentre I agree, the 2024 is just a touch more aesthetically pleasing 😅
The maximum weights are total gross weight (inclduing the bike itself). So the 210KG (on road) and 160KG (off-road) max weights need the weight of the bike subtracting to get driver+payload limit. This hasnt stopped me getting an Orox, but it caught me out with my R&M Multi Charger - which led to a number of broken spokes.
I heard you can ride the SL without the battery! And it rides like an analog bike! Have you guys tried? So basically 2 bikes in 1 😊 Great review! cheers 🍻
Fiido air carbon fibre 13kg, Fiido e-gravel 18kg, Nokourban 14.2 Kg. These are cheaper, have longer range and are lighter than those on this video. Any reason why these aren't included?
Hi Paul, our apologies for the delay in getting back to you. Thank you very much for watching and taking the time to comment. Fiido are not a brand that we have had any dealings with, so I couldn’t pass judgement on them. However, looking at the specifications online, their battery sizes are smaller than all of the bikes on this list (208wh vs 250wh on the Momentum, which has the smallest battery on our list), so I would anticipate that their ranges stated are slightly unrealistic. (They are certainly not the only manufacturers to do this.) The ranges we quote are from experience with the bikes using mixed modes, surfaces and topography. From what I can see of the bikes, they’re very competitively priced BUT, this goes hand in hand with the quality of the components used. I’m not saying they are bad bikes, I can’t judge something I haven’t seen/ridden, but their components are of lower grade and than the bikes on this list. Thanks again for watching and for being the Fiido bikes to our attention.
I tried the Mondraker Dune RR Yesterday, I currently have the Rise M10 2021, The Mondraker is an absolute masterpiece of a bike, the suspension feel is hard to describe…. It’s like you’re riding on cushion of air and marshmallows 😂!! I don’t know how they’ve done it but what a bike… maybe because it’s Öhlins suspension 🤔incredible 🎉 , I haven’t tried the new Rise yet but it’ll be hard to beat The Mondraker Dune !
For everyone wanting a turbo vado sl only to find only L and XL sizes - it's a very small bike! I'm 5.5 and an L is perfect for me. Don't let the size put you off.
Totally agree. I’m 5.8 and I’m very comfortable on a large. Thanks for taking the time to watch & comment. Jason
Picked mine up last week from these fellas, great bike, love it so far, taking it camping, to the sports field with my son, carry picnic stuff…..happy!
We’re really pleased to hear you’re enjoying your new bike! We’ve certainly been enjoying ours! We look forward to catching up with you at your first free service. All the best Jason
are you kidding ? they are stolen ! big risk thşs much of money !!
Thanks for commenting. Undoubtedly, anything worth ££££’s ,whether it be a phone, wallet, watch, bike is at risk of being stolen. There are however plenty of security devices available to significantly reduce the risk.
No C in Trek 😉 Great video. I commute on a regular Vado. Nowhere at home or at work to park the bike next to a plug socket…..
🤣 thanks for the head up on the typo. Toby has just welcomed a newborn 👶 home and he’s a little bit jaded, so we’ll let him off 😂 Yes, a lack of a removable battery is a downside to most of the lightweight bikes on the market. I hope you’re enjoying your Vado. Thanks for watching and commenting. Jason
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks David. We really appreciate your support 👍
Not the target customer at all but i just frickin love that this is a thing that exists.
Couldn’t agree with you more
The SL as actually only the ep600-rs motor on the M20 not the ep801rs.. so I am still happy with my 2024 M20 ep801-rs sl bike :)
You’re correct. You’ve still got an absolute weapon of a bike. I love the original Rise. We have a demonstration Rise M20 2024 that I borrow all the time. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Jason
Price
Splendid video. So many have been waiting and needing this! An offroad cargo ebike that can carry heavy weight for long distance is what all campers and outdoors enthusiasts have been waiting for. This opens up a whole new market for ebike manufacturers. The video we all really need and want to see next is its loaded capacity of 390 in its offroad environment. This is what we have been waiting for for so long. The performance of max load offroad is what this new market should be showing and improving on. 😊
Thank you very much for the feedback and for taking the time to watch the video. As you say, it really is a great bike for campers & outdoor enthusiasts. Steve and I took it out for some trail riding with Steve riding and me as cargo, our combined weight is around 160ish kgs. Although, not its max carrying capacity it did give us some idea of capable the bike and motor were under load. Overall they both coped really well, as mentioned the bike is quite long so not the most nimble, but nothing really will be carrying that sort of load. With me in the back, the weight distribution was quite high, but still the bike performed well. I would expect it to perform better with a more traditional cargo (ie not a person) even if the cargo were heavier, as the centre of gravity would be lower.
Does Shimano's new EP801 software update impact the RS+ tune also as that has user changeable over-run now apparently
please dont show your face that much. nobody care about your wrinkles. show us the bikes.
Hi guys great video! Is the q factor of the Orox like a fat bike, or have they managed to get the chain stays long enough to have a normal sized one?
Hi, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. We’ve measured the bike and the Q Factor is 230mm
I would choose LT, because the frame is the same as the SL, as both models have the same shock, but the LT has no internal travel limiter
I can totally understand your choice. Thanks a lot for watching and taking the time to comment. Jason
£10k 😂
Yep, undoubtedly expensive. If “money’s no object” then it’s an incredible piece of kit, but for most of us it’s worth waiting for the alloy and lower spec carbon models to become available. Ultimately, the high end bling on these bikes is way more than the average rider needs. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. Jason
Tempted by both ,it's the head angle that appeals to me a bit more stable , I like shimano don't care about the over run and as for power again I like rs set up.but having the option to increase the power for big climbs ,great .
Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. They are both great options. The LT is arguably the more versatile, if you ride with owners of with enduro style bikes (like the Levo, Wild etc) and with other mid-power or non-electric riders. The addition of the (incredibly easy to use) flip chip means you can make head angle adjustments whilst out on the trails. For me, I generally ride cross country and trail so the SL is perfect for my needs. (I wouldn’t say no to an LT though!) I love the RS tuned motors. I prefer their natural feel to the Bosch/Yamaha etc motors. The RS+ version now means that you can pretty much keep up with the big hitting CX, Mag-S and PW-X3 motors, but maintain the natural feel and cadence of the old RS.
The SL for me as well with the small battery. I already have the new M-team Orbea Wild and the LT is too close to the wild
A great choice. As you say, the LT does overlap the Wild slightly, so you would have two very similar bikes. The M-Team Wild is a cracking bike! Thank for watching and taking the time to comment. Jason
@@ebikecentreI had a go on the New Wild MTeam yesterday ( I have the 2021 Rise M10) I then had a go on the Mondraker Dune RR….. my thoughts after was There’s no reason to buy the Wild , it weighs a ton , yes it’s got good travel, lots of power but in my opinion the Rise or Dune are both better , I know people will disagree but honestly I think 65 Nm or 55 Nm on the dune is enough
Is it not possible to put kickstand and rear carrier on Raleigh at all?
Yes, there are alternatives that can be fitted the clamp to the rear chain-stay. They are not the cleanest looking option but they will do the job. It’s disappointing that Raleigh didn’t fit kickstand mounting points for a cleaner look. Thanks for taking the time to watch our videos and commenting.
Hi, i have just tried the orbea wild and the orbea rise (2023). The wild for me was more stable and the bosch 85nm motor gave way more support compared to the more natural ep8 60nm motor of the rise. There was no overrun at all on the rise but somehow that wasnt the only difference. I compared head to head the climbing capabilities and a weaker biker could easily overtake me during longer climbings. (Even an other biker with 50nm yamaha motor could overtake me) The rise somehow tried to exhaust and kill me :). Beside of that i preferred the naturality of the rise. My question is how the new motor is behaving? Is it giving significantly more power? Compared to the bosch systems what do you feel? I am planning to test the 2025 rise before i order it but currently it is not available in my country. It will arrive only after october
The Wild is a significantly more powerful bike than the Rise (2020-24 RS 60Nm). Orbea tuned that motor in a way that really makes the rider work for the extra power. I personally love that about the Rise but it’s not for everyone. The new 2025 Rise has, in the RS+ mode, significantly more power than the original model. It still requires more rider effort than the Bosch CX motor but the 85Nm EP8 RS is a much closer match to the Bosch than the original. In a straight drag race the Bosch will pull away but not by as much). I completely agree, the Wild is a more stable and predictable bike than the Rise, but the Rise is more playful, agile and nimble. I would strongly recommend trying one when you get a chance. Thank you very much for watching our video and taking the time to comment. Jason
Smart Systems supports range extenders, but bike manufacturers are blocking them. For this price, it's a total sh!t show.
It does seem that there has been some sort of breakdown in communication between Bosch and some of the bike manufacturers. It’s possible Bosch produced the extenders last minute (in response to the growing demand for them) and manufacturers had already designed their bikes without planning on a range extender. Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment.
Is it UK road legal ?, using it for 2 up plus luggage riding would be a struggle for a 250 watt motor.
Hi, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on the video. Much appreciated. Yes, the bike meets all UK e-bike regulations and is UK road legal. We found that the Bosch Performance Line CX motor had more than enough power to get us up and down the hills (off road) with two adults on the back. We didn’t laden it with cargo as well, but I don’t expect that it would struggle with the additional load.
Very true. In our opinion there are far too many illegal rides around the UK but it seems the police force don’t have the man power or inclination to do anything about it. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.
