Upon first visual inspection one can see straight away this model is finish to a high standard. It has deep rich paintwork with a super high gloss finish which belies its entry level pricing in this brand model range.
With the renowned quality of a Bosch Active Line motor and not the 300 but 400Wh battery this bike already has a quality offering. Yet Gepida haven't stopped there.... with excellent minor componentry, broad tyres and light weight forks.
My overall opinion of the bike is for the £1999-2099 starting price you will be hard to find a quieter, smoother riding and nicer looking e-bike then the Reptila 800.

Linda & Mike on Tour - Our E-bikes have revolutionised our biking experiences. No longer do we have to carefully plan our routes to avoid big hills. We are not afraid to tackle any terrain and have found that although our bikes have only 20” wheels they can take the rough with the smooth.
]]>We use our bikes as transport as well as for pleasure riding them into town (which saves not only petrol but also parking fees) and in my case riding to the gym (which is extra exercise).
Our bikes fit easily into the ‘garage’ of our motorhome and we have explored many areas that we could not have got to on foot. We really enjoy cycling along the many disused railway lines that have been adapted into cycle tracks. And they are not always flat! Whilst away on our trips we have cycled around a few lakes too, and, surprisingly, they are not always flat either!
Having the assistance from the motor helps a great deal especially when coming to a junction and pulling away. We have found that by putting the bike into Sport or even Turbo it gives us the help to get away quickly.
Nationwide Bikes have been extremely helpful when we have had questions or problems with our bikes. They didn’t make me feel inadequate when I couldn’t remember how to use the Walk button - a great help when faced with a hill or rough terrain too steep to cycle.
Our bikes have given us a new lease of life and we really enjoy our bike rides together.
Linda and Mike Ellingford

When presented with the opportunity write a guidebook to the Route des Grandes Alpes I knew that I wanted to research the route from the perspective of an e-bike rider... having discussed the specifics of the trip with the friendly and helpful team at Nationwide e-bikes, we decided that the most suitable bike for the trip would be a Gepida Alboin 1000... I was quickly impressed...
]]>The Gepida Alboin 1000 was the bike chosen by Giles Belbin - the Somerset based cycling journalist and author of Mountain Kings, A Year in the Saddle and Chasing the Rainbow - for researching a guidebook to the Route des Grandes Alpes, a 720km route from the shores of Lake Geneva to the Mediterranean coast that takes in many legendary Alpine passes, to be published in 2021.
Giles writes: When presented with the opportunity write a guidebook to the Route des Grandes Alpes I knew that I wanted to research the route from the perspective of an e-bike rider. With the popularity of e-bikes flourishing, and having ridden many of the climbs on the route previously, I wanted to be able to compare my experience of riding long mountain passes on a conventional bike with tackling the same climbs on an e-bike.
Having discussed the specifics of the trip with the friendly and helpful team at Nationwide e-bikes, we decided that the most suitable bike for the trip would be a Gepida Alboin 1000, equipped with a Bosch Performance motor, a 500Kwh battery and a Shimano SLX derailleur 10 speed gearset.
Setting off from the KM Zero marker outside the Hotel de Ville in Thonon les Bains for the first leg of the trip, I was quickly impressed by the speed with which I rode the first main climb on the route—the 1600m high Col de la Colombiere. It was immediately noticeable how much quicker I was able to climb the mountain compared to highly fit club cyclists riding light, high-performance road bikes. That is not to say that to ride the Albion on such terrain is easy, with the motor providing assistance based on the torque and cadence of your pedalling, I still had to turn the pedals every metre of the climb which meant it some tough going as the gradient ramped up. But with my effort complemented and multiplied by the bike it meant that I was able to complete the climbs faster than I would otherwise have been able to and with less effort, giving me more opportunity to enjoy the incredible scenery of the route and take the photographs and notes necessary for my research.
The route takes you over 18 high mountain passes, many made famous by the exploits of Tour de France riders every year. Each climb has its own identity. I went from riding under the shadow of Mont Blanc through the flower-filled Alpine pastures of the Col des Aravis, to descending the rocky and barren, moon-like terrain of the Casse Deserte on the Col d’Izoard. I cycled roads through precipitous and wooded gorges, pedalled alongside fast-flowing rivers swollen by mountain meltwater and finally, after seven days of riding, I rode the hairpin bends of the Col de Turini with the sweet smell of the Mediterranean hanging in the air, soon to arrive in Menton and on to Nice, ready to dip my aching limbs in the warm water of the med.
The route covers spectacular but tough terrain for both rider and machine. Throughout the trip the Alboin performed admirably, with not a single mechanical issue to report. Battery performance was sufficient to get me up and over every climb at around 8-10mph in Tour mode. If a day’s itinerary involved a second major climb a recharge could be advantageous although the Alboin does come equipped with the Bosch 500 kwh battery which is the largest capacity battery Bosch produce.
Riding the Route des Grandes Alpes on the Alboin was a special experience. It was not effortless - no riding in such an environment can ever truly be – but the rewards of such a stunning route are great. Now comes the hard but enjoyable work of writing the guidebook.
The bike was great fun to ride. Thanks to all at Nationwide e-Bikes.

We were very pleased to welcome members of the Cycle Somerset Group last Wednesday to Priory Bridge Road.
We chatted about the developments in eBike technology and the range of bikes we have in store.
Of special interest were the range of eBikes from Orbea. The lighter weights of these bikes were what they were looking for. Bikes to ride all day and dip into the power of the motor when climbing hills. A few members of the group took the opportunity to have a test ride on the demo bikes.
I was a very pleasant morning doing what we enjoy most - talking about eBikes!
Special thanks to Jonathan Sladden for organising the group and to Neil from Orbea for providing the demo bikes.
Demo bikes:-
Orbea Carbon Gain M20 - RRP £3999 - Blue/White
Orbea Gain F30 19 - RRP £1899 - Red
