VERSIONS AND COMPONENTS
FAZUA ENGINE
A pioneer in light assist, Fazua has developed its motors to become a key player in the market.
From the first Ride 50 with its 250Wh battery, to the slightly boosted BlackPepper version, the arrival of the Ride 60, with its 60Nm 430Wh battery pack/motor unit system, brings the
pedal assisted mountain biking in a whole new world.
Our E-Zesty frame is already compatible with an additional external battery. As easy to use as ever with its three assist modes – Breeze, River and Rocket – Fazua has also improved the ergonomics of the mode switch wheel.
Ring Control offers a number of possibilities, including the new walk assist. Last but not least, the control box that displays the battery level is now integrated into the top tube of the frame.
More ergonomic and easier to read than ever, it also features a USB C port for recharging your GPS or smartphone. Finally, let's not forget the interactivity of the Fazua Smartphone application, the only one to date that allows you to customize the engine settings according to your needs.
