The design of the Ørsted deliberately has a more ‘European bike’ feel. Beneath the distinctive design , state-of-the-art German technology is abound. Rigorously tested, the innovative drive line delivers one of the smoothest rides available.
Developed to be more like a traditional European bike the frame is higher and the wheels are bigger, which allows for travelling further distances , like between villages or towns. The adjustable stem and ergonomic grips add more comfort to the ride. With more than 2500 sensor points in the motor the control of the power curve is perfect and makes the acceleration smooth
The motor has more than 2500 sensor points to allow the controller a more precise control of the power curve and make the bike very smooth in its acceleration. The Torque sensor is integrated into the drive shaft of the motor for maximum control and additional performance. The motor has regenerative braking which will top up the battery under normal use, and can also be set to work actively on hills to reduce the dependance on the brakes by using the motor as a brake. It offers an impressive 100 km (62 mile) range, with a top speed of 25km/h (15.5 mph)* allowing for longer rides between villages and towns.

The Ørsted can reach speed of up to 25km/h (15.5mph), however you are able to pedal faster. The Ørsted will assist you up to 80km (49.5 miles) (the distance varies depending on the weight of the rider and riding conditions).
You can choose the level of pedal assistance provided using the control option on the display via the remote on the handlebar. There are five assistance levels ranging from ‘economy’ for maximum range to ‘high’ for a sporty and dynamic experience. In addition there is an active engine braking setting that allows regenerative braking on hills at a set speed to help stop excessive speed and recharge the battery. A walk assist function allows the bike to travel at up to 6km/h (3.7mph) while you walk the bike in non-cycle areas.
The Orsted delivers up to 40 Nm of torque which allows it to climb the hills with ease. The big difference on this bike is the sensors inside the motor. Many high end bikes might have 300 sensor points in the motor, while the Obree has over 2500 sensor points. This allows for more precision of controlling the motor in different conditions including hills. The built in torque sensor that is attached to the drive shaft will sense the hills and adjust the power curve to match the situation. Very few e-bikes on the market have this level of complexity to deliver a smooth ride regardless of the situation.
To recharge the battery simply plug the charger into any standard outlet and connect it to your portable rear rack battery (either on the bike or off the bike inside). After two hours your battery will be charged up to 80% of its capacity. To complete a full charge will take up to three hours depending on how discharged the battery is at the beginning of the charging process. For the best performance we recommend to charge your Orsted battery at least every two months and if you are using it frequently try to use as much of the capacity before charging. The display also offers recuperation modes while riding which will extend your range. The battery should be charged in temperatures greater than 10 degrees and not above 35 degrees.
Most e-bikes will show a bar system to indicate the capacity of the battery. While the Orsted has this on the display, it takes it one step further and estimates based on current consumption how many more kms there are in the battery, removing the normal guess work in the bar capacity situation. Is one bar left 1 km or 5kms, the Orsted knows.
