Is yours coming with the ride 60 system?

No street ride 50 I think .
Cairn e adventure 1.0 Rival. Need a spare battery as I intend touring with it. Sick of getting covered in mud on my Levo Expert.

Looks ideal for touring, 14kg and 250 watts @58 nm should fly. Let us know how you find it after a few rides
Brilliant pic . Swap mud for soft snow any day.Unfortunately, the sun made the snow just a tad too soft. I should have started my ride earlier

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 'if you want a moped for the trails it will never be Fazua". I read a lot of negative feedback, much of it a result of the bike manufacturers shortcomings but on the occasions I've needed support Fazua have been exemplary. They don't hesitate to phone me (in New Zealand!) in their very early morning to dial in and remedy or check a problem such as recallibration and when I had a water issue with my drivepack (see hydrophobia) a replacement was provided without hesitation or delay. Its for a cyclist and offers support, not an alternative to pedaling. Don't hose it down, use a neoprene downtube sleeve in the wet, buy a spare battery and don't read the forums
. You'll love it.

Gonna be a good day 
So it doesn't like water like most ebikes. Im paranoid now after going through a few motors on my levo. I will probably use it more on roads and put on full touring type sks mudguards.

I got out last night, had a hell of a laugh because the conditions were so bad and the cow pat field were so wet, splashy and sinky! Found a cool tunnell under the rail line, that got gradually smaller! The halfway stop for a pint was welcomed though.
And we wonder why the motors get corrosion etc
or do we. Mucky ride that I can nearly smell the sharn from here.
Yuk, what a mess!
If I'm not mistaken, they're all-terrain bikes, no ? 
Nice roller coaster trail on the mountains in the back.
Did a quick after work ride today before the sun went down.

We got teased with +17 temps last week then it snowed and went down to -15. At least its a break from the mud.

I rode my skinny bike all the way into January and then was riding it in February with skinny studded tires..... In northern Ontario Canada... Thats just unheard of.
The fat tires have taken a shit kicking this season, lots of exposed, sharp rock that would usually be covered in snow is just ripping studs out and slicing... everything. Still fun as hell though.

Good on you Binners. No shame in getting that checked out, I had the whole GP Popsicle thing last year, as much fun as it sounds but I'll take it all day long over the alternative.Welsh Whisky tastes different but ok. Any excuse for a dram , negative PSA test. That's good enough for me haha. When you get to that certain age you know you can't be shy lads.

I went to the weird woods.
This was my top yesterday, plowing through the snow in the shady sections and then it's everywhere up higher. The creek crossing had rocks just perfect for portaging
Gold Canyon, AZ. Really fun trails with a very remote feeling. I saw only 1 other bike on a 17 mile ride on a Saturday.
This ride freaked me out more than any other ride I’ve been on. I came around a blind corner at fairly slow speed. A Diamondback Rattlesnake was laying across the trail. There was absolutely no way to avoid him. I bailed off the bike to my left, my bike fell to the right. When the bike went down, the snake was coiled up between the top tube and down tube. He was pissed off and ready to strike. I had to toss rocks in his direction to get him away from my bike. This was a very close call. I would have been in a really bad spot as I was about 8 miles from the parking lot.

You guys are lucky!
They installed a rattle on your snakes to let you know where they are
Ours don’t come with a warning
