They’ve been on the radar for the past few years however, up until now, e-road is not something we’ve seen a lot of in Australia. That all changed when the first shipment of Orbea Gain electric assist bikes landed in the country. Orbea are distributed by BikeBox, the same people who bring us Schwalbe. Foundation Classics series supporting partners, BikeBox are the tyre & e-bike sponsors of the Mudgee Classic and here we ride one of their impressive Orbea Gains.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Electric assist road are officially here in Australia with a number of local distributors soft-launching various models over the past few months. With respect to the unique features of many of the models, they all typically look like e-bikes\u2014yes \u2026 there\u2019s an unmistakable battery unit fitted to the down tube and, in most cases, a control unit on the handlebars.<\/p>\n

\"\"

But this one is different. Bikebox, the distributors best known for Schwalbe tyres, have landed their first shipment of Orbea Gain e-road bikes\u2014a frame easily mistaken for a standard road bike.<\/p>\n

On display and available for demonstration at the Tour Down Under, Bicycling Australia enjoyed the opportunity to ride and review one of the first of these machines to arrive in the country.
\nThe test bike was a Gain M20, a full carbon frame finished in matte black and featuring a Shimano Ultegra groupset and braking via 160mm discs.<\/p>\n

First Impressions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our first impressions no doubt mirrored yours\u2014where the hell is the battery and motor?
\nLook closely at the rear wheel and you\u2019ll see this bike features an internal hub drive neatly sandwiched (and of a lower profile than) the rear disc and cassette.<\/p>\n

This is an ‘eBikemotion X35’ rear hub motor to be precise\u2014a 36V 250w offering that weighs 2.1kg and offers a maximum cruising speed of 25kph.<\/p>\n

\"\"
A traditional looking downtube with no sign of the battery … Orbea certainly have put some serious R&D into the Gain.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The other critical component, the battery, is equally hidden. Factory fitted inside the slightly oversized downtube\u2014and with a subtle charge port near the bottom bracket\u2014the whole package whispers minimalism.
\nOverall weight of the motor, battery and control system is said to be 3.5kg, with a total bike weight coming in at just over 12kg.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The motor on the Orbea Gain is located within the rear hub and weighs around 2kg.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

First Ride<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sitting on the bike, looking down and the only clue to this steed\u2019s hidden power plant is the coloured LED button integrated into the top tube. Click the button and you have the choice of three assist modes\u2014white for none, green for economy and red for boost. Need more control? Power outputs can be adjusted and monitored via the eBikemotion companion app.
\nSpeaking of the app: it also boasts a range of other features such as navigation, route planning and diagnostics and is well worth checking out.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The charging port is located just above the bottom bracket.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

LED lit, push on the pedals and you\u2019ll feel that electric assist smoothly surge into action. But don\u2019t read e-road wrong\u2014the rider still has to pedal!<\/p>\n

Soon after taking delivery of the bike we took it to the Adelaide Hills, the perfect testing ground for any new bike, particularly one with the addition a motor.
\nLeaving Adelaide and starting a climb and it\u2019s obvious that this bike will not only be a lot of fun to ride, but add a unique dimension to your cycling and deliver new experiences\u2014it really is an addictive experience and before long I decided \u201cI need one of these in the fleet\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"
During the test period many were surprised to find out the Gain is indeed electric assist.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As mentioned, you still have to pedal\u2014stop working and the motor will smoothly cut out \u2026 there\u2019s no free ride with this Orbea. With the assist switched on, what you will notice is how much faster you\u2019ll climb hills. The experience of flying up your favourite climbs considerably faster than ever before is a unique, fascinating and exhilarating experience. The good (or bad) news is you\u2019ll still be pedalling (and still suffering) through a solid workout.<\/p>\n

Handing the Gain over to a cycling mate, experienced long-distance rider Davin Harding, he rode Adelaide\u2019s legendary Mount Lofty in boost mode and came back grinning from ear to ear.
\nAlmost in hysterics when I met him at the lookout, Davin exclaimed \u201cI love it, I just went down to the bollards and back up the climb in no time. I still worked it hard but it was the most thrilling climb up Lofty ever \u2026 this bike is awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n

Battery Range<\/strong><\/p>\n

Overall range is stated by Orbea at 100km when using the bike at 25kph, and up to 1500 vertical metres of climbing. After the first 50km of testing over various terrains\u2014from the Adelaide Hills and back into central Adelaide\u2014we checked the battery status to see just under 50% remaining.<\/p>\n

E-road Debate<\/strong><\/p>\n

The mere mention of e-road initiates vigorous discussion; take a look at virtually any social media post on the topic and you\u2019ll read all manner of conflicting opinions.
\nThere is a lot of negativity but also many first-hand thoughts from those who have enjoyed the benefits offered by these bikes such as these recent comments on the Bicycling Australia Facebook page.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have just taken ownership of an e-road bike and love it. Bad knees so it helps with the hills. Couldn\u2019t recommend an ebike more for those who have injuries or restrictions.\u201d
\n\u201cI\u2019ve found most people that criticise e-bikes have never ridden one to understand how they work. I have an e-MTB and love it! You can still get a very good work out by keeping the assistance setting low. I still have regular bikes as well which I have been riding for many years. Now in my late 50s, I\u2019ve found the e-bike has opened up more places to ride and enjoy it a lot more.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know of many people in their seventies or thereabouts who have been regular cyclists for decades and found a new lease of life because of their new e-bike. They are still getting a good work out and keeping active and enjoying the camaraderie and socialising that comes with cycling. Don\u2019t knock it if you haven\u2019t tried it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"The
The Gain is also available in an ‘all-road’ model featuring a 1x drivetrain and gravel wheels & tyres.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

And using Strava with an e-road?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI used to say I\u2019d never get one but admit to now being a happy convert!
\n\u201cTo those on Strava thinking us ebike riders are cheats….I use Strava but when saving the ride as an ebike ride, it does NOT run the ride through any segments.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Future Of Bikes?<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to make bicycles as accessible, useful and efficient as possible,\u201d said Orbea at the official launch of the Gain.
\n\u201cWe\u2019re developing platforms to minimize of all the potential excuses: the hills, the bad weather, the hazards of the road, the sweat, the fatigue, not being able to ride as hard as before \u2026 What would happen if we no longer had any excuses?\u201d
\nOrbea say that thanks to the Gain\u2019s technological innovations, the cycling world is at the dawn of a new era. It\u2019s difficult to disagree.<\/p>\n

Summing Up<\/strong><\/p>\n

Quality<\/strong>
\nClearly Spanish company Orbea have invested significant time, energy and capital into the Gain project. The overall finish is spot on, design integration truly impressive, and the bikes are proving to be a hit.<\/p>\n

Performance<\/strong>
\nRide without any electric assistance and, yes, you\u2019ll notice some extra weight. But on the positive side that\u2019s got to make you a stronger rider.<\/p>\n

Value for money<\/strong>
\nAt just under $7000 (as tested and with Ultegra), the Gain M20 comes in well below similar e-road bikes. The bike is also available in entry level builds (with the same battery and motor) at a considerably lower price point.<\/p>\n

Overall<\/strong>
\nControversial, but we absolutely love it.<\/p>\n
