Orbea F20

[TyrannosaurusTreks]

After a recent purchase of a specialized Sirrus 6 which gave nothing but problems, I returned it to shop yesterday for full refund.
i am now thinking for the same amount of money I could have a 2nd ebike😀.
Im not sure I like the look of the Ribble al-e but do like the Orbea f20 & 25, the 25 comes with 105 groupset for the extra £££.
i would like to use the bike for trips away in the Motorhome & general faffing around, I love my trek domane + but do like the upright position as well.
The cube nature hybrid one 500 also looks a nice bit of kit but at 23kg its a lump, not sure on Orbea but should be around 14-15kg.

I've been helping a friend choose an e-bike, so I've already been looking at these. Looking at the pencil notes I've made. If I've got this right, the Cube weighs 22.2 kg, the Orbea 17.1 kg. Therefore the weight difference looks to be is a bit less than you thought.

The Cube has twice the battery of the Orbea and is priced at about £100 less. The battery weight likely accounts for most of that difference. Given that these batteries are expensive, the Cube looks good value, but only if you feel you need that extra battery.

You've probably found this site, but I'll link to it in case you haven't and find it useful ...

Thanks for that monikers, I think with the weight of the cube & what its use will be for I’m straying towards the Orbea.
Not planning big rides just a bit of the e help😁.
I rang my nearest Orbea dealer today & advised me that none in stock & bikes expected in July for me to try, which isn’t a problem.
He also suggested I look at these as well,

You're welcome.

That turqoise finish on the cannondale looks gorgeous. I could hang that on the wall and look at it for ages.

As I'd been looking around for a friend I pointed this discounted one out. They're not decided not to go for it - a bit big for them, and I've realised that they are going to buy pretty much on looks alone, so I'm going to leave them to it.

Here's one I spotted though (size 58) while looking around, unusual to find one in stock and with a useful discount. I bought my bike from them a couple of weeks ago, it arrived by Parcelforce on the day they promised. I've had no problems.

Yes a good price but a 58 may be a bit small for me being 6’2”.
