A small but important point about Giant's concern for New Zealand's sovereign law. We have no speed limit applying to e-bikes in New Zealand. No limit at all. Bikes are limited in theory to 250 watts output (nominal) but there are no speed restrictions. My partners 2019 Giant e-Revolt is limited...
I have a Lapierre Ezesty and a Look E765 gravel and both have the Ride 50. Apart from a proclivity for hydrophobia I've had a great experience so far. Lower power but correspondingly lower weight. 13.6 for the Look I believe. Support cuts at 25kph in line with Euro regs but Fazua support told me...

Ah yes, the Law of gravitational inverse. Top marks Zimmerframe. Never have I seen this so clearly and concisely elucidated.
Now, can I interest anyone in some E-bike specific grips. You can't just use any old grips without loss of control, self or otherwise. Where would we be without the...
Check out NOX Epium. NOX have form with their Fazua Ride 50 powered Helium enduro bike and the Epium is a new carbon frame running the Fazua Ride 60 with the larger battery. I have two Ride 50 powered bikes, a Lapierre E-Zesty and a Look E765 and for a rider who doesn't want the motor to take...
