Orbea Electric Bikes

From Two Barrels to Two Wheels — Now Electric

What started as a gun manufacturing company back in 1840 is now one of the world’s leading bicycle makers — Orbea first started manufacturing bicycles in 1930, and by 1934, they were already participating in the Tour de France.

Today the brand is home to some of the most coveted road and mountain bikes out there. Electric and motorless.

Founded in Eibar, Spain, by siblings Juan Manuel, Mateo, and Casimiro Orbea, the company remains headquartered in Spain. The company has quite a history; when it was on the verge of bankruptcy in 1969, the employees formed a co-operative and purchased the brand out of passion.

Pioneers of the Road eBike Category

In 2017, to the surprise of many cyclists, Orbea made a bold move and launched the first electric road bike that looks nothing like an ebike. The battery sits neatly in the normal-sized downtube, there are no gizmos or displays on the handlebar; just one button on the top tube. The motor is stealthily placed in the rear hub, barely noticeable from the side.

The untrained eye will never know it’s an ebike. The Gain weighs in at just 13.3 kilos, making it one of the lightest ebikes in the world!

If drop bars are not your thing, you can get your hands on a flat bar or fitness version of this bike. Browse through the lineup below.

From the Manufacturer

In 1840, the Orbea Brothers opened a small workshop in the heart of Basque Country in Eibar. With relentless work and ambition, the workshop grew to become the first factory in a city eventually dedicated to the industry.

Over time, the factory became a leader amongst its peers, pioneering many innovative products and manufacturing procedures. Since that time we've maintained the innovative spirit of the Eibar factory, constantly adapting our products for our customers. When guns were no longer the business of Orbea, we used our innate knowledge of steel tubing to build bicycles of all types, from the premium to the most basic.

The cycle of progress never ends with our team of passionate individuals and champions who constantly innovate and adapt to the changing marketplace and rider needs. The best of Orbea is always in our work, and because of it we are always seeking new ways to improve and make the best bicycles on Earth.
