Counterpoint: The bike weighs only 50 lbs.

Battery size and range anxiety are a real concern for those who have throttled bikes and want to go fast without pedaling, but on a class 1 pedal assist ebike like this it becomes less important.
I was also a bit concerned about battery capacity when I bought the Yamaha Wabash RT recently (great bike for the $1,679 price). I was comparing it to my rear hub drive bike, but the mid drive is far more efficient. The Wabash has 500 w/h and can easily go 50-60 miles on medium levels of assist. I'm mostly using the lowest power level.
Not related to the deal but but I work in an ICU and anecdotally we see so many e-bike or e-scooter accidents (involving cars) causing permanent disability or death -- in my personal experience it's been more than serious injuries from motorcycles or bicycles. My take is that there's low barrier to entry for someone to be moving quickly and quietly through car-dominated streets and not as much of an existing culture of safety that bicycle and motorcycle communities have.


If it adds some credibility, here's some evidence pulled from the internet by an LLM with links to sources:


"E-bikes and e-scooters have shown significant increases in injury rates over the past few years, often surpassing traditional bicycles and approaching the severity of motorcycle injuries in certain cases. Compared to motorcycles and bicycles, e-scooter injuries are becoming more common, particularly in urban areas, with injuries occurring more frequently at night and involving higher rates of intoxication and non-helmet use.
For example, e-scooter injuries have been found to result in severe traumatic brain injuries more frequently than motorcycles, although motorcycles tend to have a slightly higher overall injury mortality rate. A study found that e-scooter accidents had a 9.2% mortality rate, compared to 10% for bicycles and 5.2% for motorcycles​(https://jamanetwork.com/journals/...le/2795144).
E-bike injuries, while generally less fatal than motorcycle accidents, have been increasing dramatically. From 2017 to 2022, e-bike injuries surged by over 3,000%, and they tend to result in more severe injuries requiring hospitalization than traditional bicycle crashes​ (https://www.publichealth.columbia.edu/news/e-bike-powered-scooter-injuries-spike)"

Cool bike for somebody wanting the more aggressive mountain bike look with more upright seating position vs having a urban comfort cruiser looking bike. It's Bosch powered with Shimano drive train and brakes. Also has a good stock chain. Not the most aggressive front fork but quality enough for maintaining stable steering on smoother trails. I never rode it or own an Orbea bike but appears to be a Good find. Decent components.

Just started shopping for an ebike, seems 400Wh is a fairly small battery compared to others I've seen in this price range.
