Thanks Dave. Absolutely shattered, churning out a vid each day takes such a long time to produce!! But well worth it was a good trip ?

 

[smokey_jo]

Well done. Hope you'll get to test some of this stuff soon!

Took one for the team there Rob Excellent vids as usual. The Fazuz motor sounds great What did you think about the noise levels?

Well done Rob! Thanks for all the updates and info. Glad the trip went well for you.
Love the Fazua idea for sure!!
Got a question for you.
How waterproof do you think the Fazua unit is? I am talking 'Wales' waterproof not 'California' waterproof. In the video I saw the battery and drive unit just clips in to the frame. Is there any rubber sealing at the contact points or were there drain holes for the water to flow through or were there rubber sealing and drain holes?

Amazing quality vids Rob, even more so considering you were sleeping in a tent in a gravel carpark! Hat off sir.

That Fazua guy has his spiel down doesn't he! Don't know how you have managed to knock out 3 vids in 3 days and still be standing!

Here's what Fazua say:

Our system is absolutely waterproof!!!! Just pay attention that you never drive the Bike without the drivepack (a cover to replace it will be available within the next 2-3 month) and that you always put the USB Cap on the interface!!!!! The components are open for water to come in - but also to come out again !! The rest is safe..

Nice reporting Rob!
While that Fauza system looks very promising, i just don't trust that "3 teeth" plastic transmission on the long run.

 

[Rob Rides EMTB]

Thanks for all the feedback on the vids. Was pretty exhausting but well worth it! I slept in the airport on the last night... this was really all done on a shoestring but I bloody love it that way!!

Had 54K views on the videos so far in 5 days which is a record for me!

The Fazua total weight by the way for the entire package iincluding controllers etc ) is 4.7KG. So that eZesty weight at 17.5KG means the actual Zesty weight is around 12.8KG, pretty good for a 160mm All Mountain FS bike!

Hey Donnie, I asked about that, they seem very confident in it

Yes, they are. We have to check back on this in future
