Orbea Electric Bikes

Yes, Orbea is one of the most respected e-bike makers in the world. The company was founded in 1840 in Spain's Basque Country, has built bicycles since 1930, and is worker-owned as part of the Mondragón cooperative. Its bikes have won Olympic gold, its Diem city e-bike has earned iF Design and Red Dot awards, and its Muga won a 2025 Eurobike Award. Orbea is especially known for frame design, clean integration and finely tuned ride quality.

You can buy Orbea electric bikes from Scooteretti, online with free shipping anywhere in Canada or in person at our Ottawa Experience Centre at 100 Trainyards Drive, where you can test ride them. The showroom serves Ottawa, Gatineau and the National Capital Region, and bikes ship about 95% assembled everywhere else.

Yes. Through Orbea's MyO program, select Orbea e-bike models can be ordered with a paint scheme you design, including frame colours, gloss or matte finish, logo colours, graphics and custom frame text, all painted by hand in Spain. Most models also let you choose components such as suspension, wheels, tires, drivetrain, battery, saddle and cockpit. Custom bikes are built to order, so they take longer to arrive than stock bikes; our team can confirm the options and timing for the model you want.

Orbea uses four drive systems: Bosch Performance Line CX (Muga, Wild TR), Shimano EP801 and EP600 (Diem, Kemen, Urrun, Rise), Avinox M2S (Wild LT) and TQ HPR40 (Rallon RS). Orbea matches each motor to the bike's purpose and applies its own RS software tune on several models for a more natural, responsive feel.

The Orbea Wild is a full-power e-MTB, while the Orbea Rise is a lightweight e-MTB designed to ride like a regular trail bike. The 2027 Wild TR uses a Bosch Performance Line CX motor with 150 mm of travel, and the Wild LT uses an Avinox M2S with up to 150 Nm and 170 mm of travel. The Rise uses a Shimano EP801 with Orbea's RS tune, smaller 420 Wh or 630 Wh batteries, and Rise SL M-LTD versions weigh under 16 kg.

For riders who value ride quality, design and long-term ownership, yes. Orbea uses premium suspension, motors from established brands with Canadian service support, and frames backed by Orbea's lifetime frame warranty. The difference shows most on the second or third season of riding, when a well-designed frame, tuned motor and quality components still feel as good as they did on day one.

Yes, many Orbea e-bikes can be ridden year-round in Canada with the right tires and care. Models like the Muga and Kemen include fenders and integrated lights, and Orbea's sealed, integrated batteries are well protected from the elements. Expect less range in cold weather, store and charge the battery indoors at room temperature, and rinse off road salt regularly to protect the drivetrain.

Range depends on the model, battery and riding conditions. Orbea claims up to about 150 km for the Diem with its 630 Wh battery, while e-MTBs like the Wild LT offer up to 800 Wh, and the Rise can be expanded to 840 Wh with its range extender. Hills, rider weight, assist level and cold temperatures all reduce real-world range.
