Whats the world come to when £4400 starts to look reasonable! haha.

The Wild FS H15 looks like a decent spec for the money(in ebike world). Has anyone got one and what do people think to it?

I’ve got some. I think they are great, the first ebike that Orbea made which I liked. Drop me an email and I’ll give you a really honest account of my experience with them. Mostly people mail me to ask about sizing but I’m really happy to answer any questions.

I suggest you test ride one 1st. For me it was very heavy and offered way to much assist (power)

Maybe thats what you want tho

Answered! I think that compared to competition they are on the weight. The motor is powerful. I find I prefer technical climbing in the lower level, the top level for blasting up fire roads.

I tried one but found the standover really high due to the steep top tube.
Also the seat was too high at its lowest point as it wouldn't go all the way in to the frame.
This was a small/medium.

Just be careful because there are two wild fs models. The old one was short and high. Not great. Then they completely redesigned it last year and that one is totally different and I like it. The previous model I didn’t like.

This is the one/ Loam Wolf rides wild fs

I had one very briefly, but an accident put paid to that and I sold it to hainman, who posts on here a bit. he's loving it, and seems to crash it even more than me... 🙂

It was lovely to ride, very fast though maybe that was me not used to a hefty and very capable ebike..... I fondly refer to it as the widow maker...
