Or is it Dave-ja Vu 😜

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

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!!😊

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

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.

Thank you so much 😀

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.

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

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 😅

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.

Totally agree. I’m 5.8 and I’m very comfortable on a large. Thanks for taking the time to watch & comment. Jason

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

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.

🤣 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 👍

Couldn’t agree with you more

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

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.

Hi, thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. We’ve measured the bike and the Q Factor is 230mm

I can totally understand your choice. Thanks a lot for watching and taking the time to comment. Jason

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
