The Orbea Rise is designed for riders who'd like some natural-feeling assistance but don't want a 'full fat' electric mountain bike and it meets that brief perfectly. With its clean lines and svelte frame tubes, you need to look twice to check it actually is an e-bike, as its battery is hidden inside the down tube and the power button is discreetly positioned down by the bottom bracket.
In keeping with the bike's sleek appearance, its motor is intended to give subtle assistance in sync with the rider's pedalling. This means that the harder you pedal, the more power the Rise provides, maintaining the natural ride feel we all love.
