Our Orbea Diem Review at The Ark Cycles
We’re really excited to present the brand new Orbea Diem 20 e-hybrid bike! This review highlights our thoughts on why at The Ark Cycles we personally love this new ‘spaceship’ looking model and think it’s an ideal choice for many leisure cyclists looking for modern way to enjoy everyday cycling.
Our Thoughts On The Orbea Diem Design and Build
The Orbea Diem 20’s amazing unique design is probably our favourite thing about this unusual bike. Its design truly stands out as one of the most creative and modern bikes on the market, featuring a geometry that promotes a comfortable and upright seating position, perfect for relaxed rides around urban areas or gravel paths. The diamond-shaped rear seat and chain stay area, in conjunction with the fully carbon front fork, effectively dampens harsh vibrations from rough surfaces and Gloucestershire (admittedly sometimes bumpy) gravel paths, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride on variety of surfaces.
Motor and Battery Performance
The Orbea Diem 20 is powered by a Shimano EP motor matched with a Orbea 630Wh battery makes the steepest streets and heaviest loads a breeze. The power delivery feels really nice on this bike, not overpowering when you’re peddling along, but still really assisting you to get from A to B with complete ease, allowing those longer distance adventures to feel far more achievable!
Riding Experience
The Orbea Diem 20 excels in delivering a superior riding experience. Its balanced frame geometry and efficient motor ensure smooth, easy-to-control handling. Leaving you feeling really confident on this bike, and from our experience at The Ark Cycles helping hundreds of cyclists around Gloucestershire, we know that a confident rider is a happy rider. This bike’s fantastic handling makes it perfect for commuting to work and relaxed journeys around the Cotswolds. So far we absolutely love the riding experience of this bike and you really don’t notice the slight extra weight from the motor when you’re riding this E-Hybrid even on slower and narrower paths where nimble steering and balance are required.
Features and Technology
Equipped with advanced technology, the Diem 20 includes an intuitive display for real-time speed, battery, and distance information. Smartphone app integration allows for ride customisation and tracking. Amazingly futuristic built-in lights which you can see stylishly integrated within the frame and handlebar of this bike. Not to mention the high-quality fast rolling 29” wheels and powerful Shimano hydraulic disk brakes all adding to this bikes safety focused feel.
Our Final Thoughts
This fanatic-looking electric hybrid bike is really a standout in the market. Although not the lightest E-Hybrid bike around the Orbea Diem 20 makes up for this with thoughtful geometry and great controlled handling. This a true top-tier option for those seeking a high-quality, versatile electric bike. Combining style, performance, and advanced features, it’s perfect for daily commutes and leisurely weekend rides.
