    I've been using my Range Externder for a couple of years now and it has been zero problems with it. I did have a disconnect once but that was only because I hadn't connected properly in the first place. The additional range it produces is outstanding and I'm not noticing the additional weight.

    I have the range extender for the M10 and it's been perfect. None of these issues. It's amazing that I can ride for so long and the weight isn't noticeable to me while riding.
  • I have had identical issues with my Rise H30 shutting off whilst using the range extender. My bike shut off 4 or 5 times over a 38 mile ride. It is definitely the range extender causing the problem as once I’d used all the power out of the extender the bike stopped shutting off. I’ll be contacting Orbea.

    My girlfriend and I are considering a pair of Orbea Rise. We rented a pair in Bentonville over the Labor Day weekend for a day. Mine seemed fine but hers was very creaky around the suspension rocker arm. How long have you had yours and have you had any other issues (other than those shown in this video) worth noting?
  • @127pcj
    Did the range extender instructions indicate not to use the washers? I have the range extender for the carbon model and it states to leave them out, for the reason you experienced (screw not long enough otherwise).

    Hello , I have a Rise H30 20mph same colour as yours and all. I was wondering if you found the problem with shutting off that you experienced. Also can you tell me how it works, does the bike use the extender before the main frame battery or does it chew on both at the same time until the range extender is dead?
  • shudnt it fit the Carbon Orbea rises as well? U got to make sure the Range Ext is connecting or it will shut off, same with my Spesh SL
  • @felixduprey
    Can the battery extender be used without the main battery? Would it work by itself if main battery removed?

    As a rule of thumb, the goal is 3 threads of engagement min with any fastener

    Anyone tried to use this on an Occam bike with a bafang motor?
  • With all those wacky problems, and then crashing over a three-inch root, I have decided not to let you ride my RISE LTD.🤣😂
  • @ibmixin
    The bike shutting off seems like either a protection feature or a loose connection
