Fazua Ride 60. Yay or Nay? Reliability Improved?

If the Heckler SL used the TQ HPR50 motor, I’d have bought one 16 months ago to pair with my Fuel Ex-e. As it is, I just can’t bring myself to gamble on the Fazua. The Slash+ is now looking like the safer option. Too bad because the HSL ticks every box except for the motor system.

I have the same feelings about the Transition Relay. I refuse to buy a motor system with so many issues, especially here in New Zealand where support and freight times are long.

The Slash+ is a true, mountain bikers e-bike. Great executution.

That said, the TQ motors are not very efficient for their rated power usage. It's not a big deal however as Trek provided a 580w battery.

True it‘s s kind of gamble.
In Germany you have the Fazua motor swaped within a week, in NZ I also would be hesitent.
When it‘s working it‘s a really great motor, have 2700km on mine without issues (2nd motor) but the first one was broken out of the box. Personally I had the feeling when the old ones (production before 2024) were replaced there were much less issues, at least in the fb groups.
