In this video I am upgrading all components of Orbea Vibe H30 bike to make the lightest possible alloy commuter bike on the market. The starting weight was 15.5kg, but can you guess the final weight?!
I asked Oleg to modify my Orbea Vibe H30 the same way, & am very pleased indeed with the results, with an estimated 3.6kg off the final weight & an incredibly responsive and fast E-bike. He spends time discussing your requirements and the result very much feels like your own personalised bike. I’m lucky as also in London so he could do the sourcing and work himself (he is easily accessible from the N Circular or M25), but if you’re not then he’ll give you customised replacement parts advice by phone for a flat fee. Either way, very highly recommended and definitely worthwhile. Thanks Oleg!
Ganesh, very glad that you are happy with the final result and thanks for your positive feedback! Enjoy your refreshed Orbea 👍🏼
Curious if you ever considered going back to 700c with a 38mm gravel tire to get more roll over the 650c wheels? There are some nice tires with the smooth centreline and gravel edging ideal for London streets that won’t be so much of a compromise.
You're very fortunate you live close by my friend. I'm way out in Birmingham otherwise would have considered a similar option. All the best and enjoy :)
Best underground bike channel and content creator on CZcams right now! Wish you 10x more subs in the next year. Keep it up brother.
Thanks, Nine! ✊🏼
Man I cant believe youve only got 3k subs. Your channel is fantastic and destined for greatness. Keep it up!
Thanks, mate 👊🏼 Keeping it up as long as I keep enjoying what I’m doing and you, guys, keep enjoying what you watching :)
Absolutely great video, many thanks for it! I bought the Vibe recently (last month), the H30EQ, and I'm very happy with it. I took already some inspiration from you video, but don't necessarily have the skills to change everything the way you did. First thing was just to replace the tires with gravelkind (700x38c) + tubolito, and this saved me already ~1.4kg on the bike... next step will certainly be the cassette and the whole transmission. A bit more work in perspective. Anyway, thanks again for this video, it's inspiring.
Thanks, I’m glad you found it useful. The wheels and tyres is where the most weight is saved. Drivetrain will not help you save much weight, so if you are happy with how it works, I’d probably leave it. But it’s of course up to you. Good luck!
The ratio work+price/weight saving is indeed not very good for the drivetrain. Remains the fun factor...
Absolutely gorgeous bike! I was out for a walk today and two women rode by on Orbea Vibes, rented from a local shop. They stopped to chat with me, and I was smitten with the bikes, which is why I'm here on CZcams surfing Orbea Vibe videos!
I want to purchase an e-bike, and this Orbea Vibe has stomped its way to #1!
I dig that ending ride with the disappearing bike! Nicely done. Good lookin’ bike. Congrats. I stripped down my Gazelle too and dropped a few kg, added some straighter bars and grips….made a very good bike even better in my opinion.
Inspiring work. 👍 I wish I have the tech knowledge to do one like that as I am thinking of getting the same bike. Please list the new parts name (and model numbers). TQ.... Real good man.
When this guy’s ebike weighs the same as my acoustic road bike 😅
Awesome upgrade
Любимая рубрика! 🔥 Скинул солидно за такой прайс.
Ну да. Так бы с триального сбросить :)
Amazing video. Enjoy the new e-bike. The best point is that the bike is unique and only you have this configuration. The bike build with knowledge, love and passion. Well done my friend 👍Наздаровя.
Спасибо Danail!
12:51 😆😁😁😁😁 pro TikToker move hahahah
Love the bike! My fave Colourpalette
Haha I’m too old for that sh*t 😂
Excellent build and good looking bike. I want one!
Love your videos. Top quality content. Thanks for being honest about your sponsorships haha
Haha I have to comply with CZcams policies 😆
This is great thanks. I’ve ordered this bike following your bike review video and will be carrying out these upgrades too!
Great to hear 👍🏼
I wish Orbea paid me for every new customer 😄
Hey, very happy i came accross your channel. I love your videos, keep up the great work
Thanks!
Serious dream build. Thanks for the awesome content. I will build something like this bike one day 💪🏼🍻
Thanks, Landon. Glad that you liked it 👊🏼
Reqlly fun video with great editing and very useful info. I am about to puck up a Vibe this week and will utilize some of these ideas. Thanks!!
HI. Awesome upgrades, and fun video! Great job! I want to do something similar on a Vibe and can do the work myself. I am older, in my, ahem, 70s, and I like to ride a bit more upright. Is it possible to put bars like the Nitto Albatross or Soma Oxford on a Vibe? Thank you!
Great upgrades to reduce the weight. Bike looks stunning but the only thing limiting me buying an ebike is the assist speed limit
ARE YOU GOING TO DO ANY MORE VIBE VIDEOS?? I love this bike and there are hardly any reviews in English. This video I have watched twice already ha ha
Hi Paul, I’m glad you liked the video! :)
Yes, I’m planning to make some more videos about this bike. It’s just I have several bikes and trying to give equal love to all of them :)
WoW ! Such a nice job ! Love the way you upgraded the bike for an interesting budget... thx a lot for sharing !! 4 thumbs up 😉
Thanks Vince!
May not be the lightest but i would have gone for a Gates belt drive or similar, with a shimano internal 8 or 9 speed mechanism and an electric hub up front.
Effectively giving you a 2 wheel drive system, which is fun.
I do like those wheels and the very light calipers etc.
XTR - 4 pot is probably overkill on my commuter and heavier ... dam!
Thanks Andrew. Yeah, it really depends on what the target is. I wanted a light electric bike that doesn’t look like electric bike. And I’m pretty happy with the end result.
Orbea should take a look at the video, the Vibe looks like a Gain but just with flat bars, I don't know if there's a Gain so light in range.
You inspired me to buy this bike and made it lighter on different parts
You've got a sub from me! I live in Melb and looking for an ebike later down the road. Not many European brands around like Vanmoof and the like but Orbea is here! Will follow your vids and see how things go :)! Thanks for the info
That cool, thanks Klauze!
Great video buddy, bike looks super kool.
Probably the biggest weight saving from the wheels were the tyres. Did you weigh the oem vs the upgraded?
Awesome Build and beautiful bike. We both have the same favorite sponsors, "Myself".
Haha thanks. I wouldn’t mind other sponsors to join ))
@@TwistedWheels , I hope you get lots of sponsors, but please NO Bicycle Company Sponsors because you will then start pushing their products. I enjoy all your videos as they are now, because you seem like a real bicycle freak that buys his own stuff and works on his own stuff. I can't stand a lot of Bicycle CZcamsrs for the fact that they are always pushing lame products. Besides, I want you to go BIG TIME with Sponsors, such as be sponsored by Playstation, Viagra and/or Red Bull! BTW, Viagra + Red = ONE AWESOME COMBINATION!
I would love to have help with suggestion on part upgrades for my newly purchased 2023 H30 Vibe.I have upgraded the handlebar and pedal so far, but need suggestion on a complete crank set and wheels. Thanks Love your video.
You can use the same cranks that I used in the video
Oleg yes mate!! I want you to do my bike like that!!!
Send me an email :)
Got this bike and it's amazing without upgrades so far. Can't register with the app tho.
Hi from Colombia, your videos are great!!!!!!!
Thanks, Sebastian!
Great video. First time on your channel. Subscribed.
Thanks, Kris!
Very cool. Great job. Also nice to see how versital that ebike is. Whats the typical range (Km) you can drive with one charge in a city.
Thanks mate. I usually make short trips in the city. The longest I had was 45km in the city on high power and I didn’t run out of the battery
Good idea and beautiful bike.
As I'm french, it's not very easy to understant each word when you speak about the wheels.
Would you write us the brand and the model of your wheels with all the specifications: the rims, the spokes, how do you install the motor on the hub or which specialist can do it, where do you by them?
Thank you.
Front wheel: DT 240 hub, sapim laser spokes, stans crest rim
Rear wheel: ebikemotion hub that came with the bike, sapim race spokes, stans arch rim
I would to avoid clamping the top tube because is usually not as thick and it may dent. Also if the fork is carbon, i would not trust that shallow of fork plug my self.
Great work!
I’d avoid buying any aluminium frame that can be dented by the rubber clamp of the bike stand :) I’ve used this plug on all my builds for the last three years without any issues, so I personally do trust it.
@@TwistedWheels Ok then!
You mentioned your Sponsor with your Baby :) was wondering if it is possible to connect a bike trailer to the Vibe. Any thoughts on that. What special parts it would need? Keep up the good work. Fantastic channel.
Hey Daniel, thanks! I haven’t done a research yet as our baby is still too small, but I believe there shouldn’t be a problem with connecting the trailer. Actually one of the reasons I bought an e-bike is to carry our son when he grows up, so I’ll share what I choose in the future :)
Another great video! 👍
Thanks!
Bike is sick! Bravo! Well done!
Thanks!
Wish i was in England since i could then ask Oleg to tune my bike. Oleg can you advice me about the tyre (700/622) that i could use -- changing the back wheel is out of my abilities since it means moving the ebikemotion hub from the stock wheel to a new one, and on top you need a strong wheel. I can certainly change the cranck set and front gear, so could you posst the one you used.
Last thing it would be cool if you would post all the reference of the gear you used, i don't think that anyone will steal your ideas.
Oleg, great video. I didn't understand our wheel recommendation. I have an Orbea gain, if I replace thee front wheel first what do you recommend and where can I buy them in he UK please? I Could not find DT Swiss 240s, Thank you
Love and Light. Good Character
Beautiful bike! Well done!
Still don´t get why your channel hasn´t blown up more
Thanks. I think I just need to make more videos 🤷🏻♂️
Love this channel! Liked and subscribed! BTW - You and “Bikes of Tokyo” need to do a collaboration- similar styles and humor!
Thanks, Neil! Will check “Bikes of Tokyo” 👍🏼
@@TwistedWheels just checked, it’s actually “rides of Japan” 😆
@@neilk22 ah yeah, I know that channel 😃
Great building, did you consider tubeless for a bit more weight saving
Thanks. A pair of tubolito tubes weigh 115g which is the same as two tubeless valves + sealant, so it won’t help with weight saving.
@@TwistedWheels ah makes sense, really great build
We purchased this Vivi 27.5” electric bike and a Tentaquil 26” electric bike for our 13 and 14 year olds. czcams.com/users/postUgkxUiL0GnyDjP32RJdd660sP8mZk4CRLTCJ The Vivi was much easier to put together. With the Vivi, there was a video link to assist with assembly which made the process easier to follow (we did put the handlebars on upside down, but it was a quick and easy fix). With the Tentaquil, the assembly was not as simple to follow, but after we messaged the company for an assembly video, it was easier and they did respond quickly. The other major differences were that the Vivi has a grip throttle on the right handle (like a motorcycle) and the Tentaquil has a push throttle that you use your thumb to activate. The monitors were also different, so if you’re looking for something specific in terms of changing the bikes functions, pay attention to what the monitor offers. We were really impressed with the overall quality and functionality of both bikes, but if you’re looking for more power and an easier assembly, definitely go with the Vivi!
Love the Vid's just bought one myself! Had a technical question re your crank changeover - did you factor any changes to offset? (I am thinking going Shimano GRX cranks)
The chainline is correct with the new cranks.
my favourite channel😍
Spot on job 👍🚴♂️
CAn you confirm exactly which bottom bracket size you used here and whether the existing one was swapped out for weight or compatibility with the crankset? Looking at changing the crank to on XTR a friend is selling but want to be sure it fits!
I think it was BB86 but I don’t remember 100%. I swapped as I used Sram DUB cranks. Your XTR cranks might fit without needing to swap the bb
Hi great video! I have this bike and want to upgrade the cranks, can you tell me which sram dub BB i need to buy, thanks
So nice!
Fantastic work, Fantastic channel (comment from PL) :)
Thanks! :)
I love your video. I also have an orbea vibe and I have made almost all the improvements you suggest. I just need to know what cranks do you use? many thanks for everything
Thanks, Emilio. The cranks I used is Sram Red DUB with Garbaruk 40T chainring. You’ll need a 92mm DUB press fit bottom bracket to fit these cranks.
@@TwistedWheels Thank you very much, it's the only thing left for me to lose 13,100 Kg. An unconditional fan of your weight loss.
@@emilioclco1255 good luck with the project, mate
My commuter bike wieght 36 pound
Its a great workout
Firstly, I love your videos. Secondly, moving from a 10 mile to 23 mile commute. I used a gravel bike with panniers as I have a huge laptop. Thinking the only way I could entertain the new commute is with an ebike. I love your build and wanted to ask, do you think it would be ideal for 23 mile each way?
Hi Sam, firstly, thanks :)
I haven’t tested the maximum mileage, but it should work. Especially if you have a battery extender
Chip it at you'll be in in 20 mins..
yeah! 🤙
I'm planning on purchasing this bike soon. Ideas on what kind of wheels to swap out for winter riding? I live in a place with snow. I won't ride all the time obv but I am hoping for once or twice a week with decent conditions.
Hey Oleg, I'm currently eyeing the Topstone Neo SL2 as I live on top of a hill and dont want to deal with that after a long ride 😂 and I was wondering how you/your S/O like the Mahle X35+ system after a year? Have you had any problems yet?
Great video, love your work. Quick question, how hard was it to remove the bottom bracket?
Easy as long as you have the right tools
It’s worth it. 100%.
Здорова, классный байк вышел. Какой у тебя стек? (если я правильно угадал и ты (1)-говоришь по-русски, (2)-работаешь в IT)
Спасибо. 1 - да. 2 - нет
This is probably a stupid question... but, I saw a video of someone de-restricting an e-bike and the speed sensor worked on wheel revolutions, so did reducing the wheel diameter affect the top speed of the bike?
Good question. I’m yet to figure it out.
I want to
Lose the rear light on my gain d30 so I can put a more comfortable carbon seat post . Can you just disconnect? Or is their more to it
Hi there Oleg, I bought the Vibe and like it but feel like I run out of gears. What 48 tooth chainring would you recommend. Thanks.
Really nice informative video!
very intressting video. I also got an Orbea VIBE and started to lower the wieght. Can you please send me the exact part description/type of the cranks and the chainrings
Sram Red DUB AXS 170mm + matching Garbaruk Chainring
thanks
I just picked one of these up, do you know if its possible to internally route a dropper post? Or keep the rear light with a dropper?
Very cool video and very cool bike !!!!🤙How tall are you and what frame size did you choose? I'm 1.80 m and an inseam of 86 cm.I am happy about your answer and best regards
Hi
I’m 182, size M, but I was choosing a smaller size so that my wife could also ride it
Can you please add the upgrade parts list? Also why did you not just get the H10? Isn’t that higher specced?
H10 is a higher spec than H30, but still very low (by my standards) - it would make the bike 200-300g lighter comparing to H30, but not 3kg lighter 😄
Could you put a list in comments of the parts you used thank you
Very nice thanks
What’s it like when you hit the limiter ? And when you stop peddling ?
Put some cable rim brakes, its lighter and easier to maintain.
I’ll never do that, thanks :)
when you changed the wheels how did you replace the engine?
Will the SRAM red dub crank arm & garbaruk 40t chainring be compatible with my existing Shimano Deore groupset which came with the bike?
Yes. It should be
First thanks i enjoyed both of your vibe videos.
I bought my vibe 6 monthes ago and i love it, i first tried a lapierre esensium but due to broken suplly chains i could not get a regular vibe from orbea and i had to order a mid frame on the internet, it was the last one. No local shop had any and it was not available from Orbea at that time. Your review (your other video) is one of the video , among others, that made me decide.
I m interested into gaining a few kilos, but for the wheel i don't how to do. How do you move the engine from wheel A to Wheel l B ?
To change the ? crank (pedalier) you are using tools, are they expensive ?
I will start changing the handlebar since anyway i wanted to cut it since it is too wide, and then the brakes if i find this tool to drag the ew cable into the cable-tubes. I m not too sure how to install news disk and brakes, the devices must be well aligned so it is not so trivial. Then the front wheel and for the rear one i wonder since the engine must be moved on the new wheel.
Last it would be great if you could put a link toward the products : wheels models, tyres, cracnk, handle bar and this little cable to be able to put new cables easily.
Hi Oleg what do you think about boardman hyb 8.9e?
Where can I buy the charger from as I need one asap even alternative one?
I need to make me lighter . But I can’t find anywhere that sells upgrades
Interesting. But how did you install the motor on new wheel? New video?😊
I just used the hub with motor from the original wheel.
I consider to change crankset, and I have a Sram GX. Can you specify the specs on bracket, all dimensions? What bracket did you use? My crankset is 30mm
8:38 lol
One video you talk why choose Orbea over Spec - because of price, then put $1k more into Orbea upgrade? :DDD
1) I didn’t choose Orbea because of the price.
2) I’d do the same with Specialized if I had bought it.
3) If you watch other videos on my channel, you’d quickly figure out - that’s what I do even with the expensive bikes. Because there are always ways to improve the performance and save weight over the stock configuration.
Hi, very nice video, I have just bought an ampler curt with carbon belt drive, it weighs 13.5 kgs. Do you think I could save around 3 kgs also on that bike? Any suggestions? My knowledge of bike components and how to change them is close to zero.
oh I really appreciated the tyre and wheel change to something that can feel more comfortable on rougher terrains
Hi Luca, not sure about 3kg, but there are always ways to make your bike lighter. I’m offering an advisory service, if you are interested. Details are in the end of this video: czcams.com/video/ea6-8CaswSo/video.html
@@TwistedWheels Hello, thanks for your reply. I will look into it when the bike arrives and drop you an email by then.
Hi may I know the brand of the pedals? Thanks
Is the bike available in frame hub format
Пртвет! Подскажи, ты все еще используешь этот байк, или все же чаще пользуешься обычным не электро?
Этот для города и для детского кресла. Остальные велики для всего остального
Hi, as mentioned in my previous comment, I'm still working on my Orbea H30 to drop the weight. Do you have a tip for a low weight padel set.
XPEDO XMX24
thanks
Зачетно, конечно. Но все таки затратно для электробайка, 3 кг при таком ассисте никак не влияют на усилия, которые прилагаются при катании. Или я не прав? У меня и нормальные байки., и с электроасстом в гараже
Именно trek domane + испоьзую как комьюнити- байк, мотор 60 Nm ....чё там облегчать то при таком моменте крутящеи.
Но за ролик реально спасибо!😎👍
Great video mate. Got my Vibe Mid H30 two weeks ago in Australia and really enjoying it. I bought oem mudguards and pannier rack that come on EQ version and installed them myself. Not everything went as smoothly as it does in your video though 😆. Some strange squeaky sound is coming from rear wheel but it doesn't affect riding. Any thoughts? You have given me ideas on changing the tyres. Btw, how did you change the hub motor onto different wheel?
Thanks!
I’d suggest taking the bike to the store while it’s on warranty.
The motor hub is still a hub. So I just unbuilt the old wheel (removed spokes and rim) and re-built it on the new rim and spokes
Try tightening the rear axle or very hard, some bike need it very tightly torqued or they will squeak.
What crank set and pedals is that
Please could you write the name of the seat post & crank that you used.
Thanks
Kcnc scandium Ti prolite, sram Red AXS DUB
@@TwistedWheels thank you so much 🙏🏼
what is the brand of that RED hex key ratcheted driver? 2:36
Silca Torque wrench
This bike is amazing . I’m borrowing a Vado sl 5.0 . Have you rode This ? I like it riding up hill but I’m just to out of shape to push hard past the limiter I have a allez and tarmac which I haven’t done
Properly for years but do find on the flat I’m faster then with the Ebike . How do you find this bike when you get above the limiter ?
Like all e-bikes, after you hit the limit, they become a normal bike, but heavier and less efficient.
awsome thks
Great work! Can I send my bike in :)
Thanks. Yes, I did similar upgrades for several customers, so can do the same for you.
How do you get in touch Oleg for a rebuild ?
👍
how did you put the motor in a third party wheel?
you skiped this part which is most interesting and important one tbh
I didn’t take the motor out. The motor is in the hub. I built the rear wheel using the original hub with the motor ;)
