Comments
Orbea's Vibe H30 looks more like a regular bicycle than an e-bike. It has a smaller hub-drive motor in the rear wheel, a slim battery inside the frame's down tube, and it lacks a screen. Minimalist controls with colour coding inform you about pedal assist level remaining battery charge (an app is available to get a bit more detail on the battery). It's not as powerful as other rear hub-drive e-bikes in this test, but it's very comfortable to ride, relatively light, and attractive. It's also expensive, and accessories such as a kickstand are not included.
