Discover Gran Canaria with Orbea – Rent the Orca or Gain M30i Now

A New Chapter on Two Wheels: Orbea Joins the Life On 2 Wheels Fleet

At Life On 2 Wheels, every decision we make is guided by a simple idea: cycling should be joyful, smooth, and empowering — whether you’re exploring new roads or returning to familiar ones. That’s why, starting September 2025, we’re proud to welcome Orbea to our carefully curated rental fleet.

You’ll now find two exceptional new bikes waiting for you in Gran Canaria:

the Orbea Orca M30i and the Orbea Gain M30i — both already available for early booking.

This marks the first time we introduce Orbea as a major brand in our rental fleet. While we’ve previously worked with select models from other premium brands — including Look and Orbea — our core lineup has long been centred around Merida. We remain fully committed to Merida’s high-performance engineering, but it felt like the right time to expand with a brand that complements it: a Spanish company with heritage, design excellence, and values that align closely with how we work and ride.

Why Orbea?

Founded in the Basque Country over 180 years ago, Orbea has always been more than a bike manufacturer. They build bikes that inspire trust — with craftsmanship rooted in tradition and a design language that feels modern, clean, and precise.

What drew us to Orbea was more than just specifications. It was their thoughtful engineering, their focus on long-term quality, and their understanding that riders come in many shapes, speeds, and stories. That’s what Life On 2 Wheels is all about, too.

Whether you’re looking for a responsive road bike to enjoy the climbs, or a discreet electric assist to help you enjoy more of the island, the new Orbea models fit perfectly into what we want to offer:

freedom, performance, comfort, and reliability.

Orbea Orca M30i – Built for the Joy of Riding

Not every cyclist wants to race. But many want a bike that feels alive — that responds intuitively, climbs without complaint, and shifts with the quiet precision of modern technology.

That’s what the Orbea Orca M30i delivers. It’s built on a carbon frame that balances comfort and stiffness beautifully. The Shimano 105 Di2 12-speed electronic shifting is incredibly smooth and low-maintenance — ideal for a week of riding where you don’t want to think about derailleur tweaks or mechanical fine-tuning.

With this bike, we’re speaking to enthusiastic amateurs — the rider who enjoys a proper machine, values ride quality, and wants to explore Gran Canaria’s famous terrain on something that feels fast, light, and reliable.

Whether you’re climbing Serenity, descending through Soria, or cruising the coast road, the Orca M30i offers a responsive, confident ride that brings out the best in every kilometre. It’s not about speed — it’s about feeling connected to the road.

Orbea Gain M30i ⚡ – A New Kind of Support

Not every cyclist comes to Gran Canaria to chase KOMs — but many come for the joy of riding beautiful roads, experiencing long climbs, and feeling the freedom of the island’s landscapes. The Orbea Gain M30i is designed for exactly that: giving you more time in the saddle, more confidence on the climbs, and more enjoyment in every ride.

This isn’t a heavy, clunky e‑bike. The Gain M30i is built around a lightweight carbon frame, powered by the Mahle X20 rear-hub motor, and paired with Shimano 105 Di2 12-speed electronic shifting. The result is a sleek, quiet, and intuitive ride — a true premium road bike, just with a bit of extra help when you want it.

Whether you’re returning to cycling after a break, managing fatigue or an injury, riding with a stronger partner or group, or simply looking to enjoy more of the island without overreaching, the Gain M30i offers freedom without compromise.

And because we know how much climbing Gran Canaria involves, we include the range extender at no additional cost. With a total power capacity of 521 Wh and 55 Nm of torque, you’ll have more than enough support to take on full-day rides and big elevation without worrying about running out of energy. It’s a level of range and capability that beats anything else in its class.
