Fazua Ride 60
Lightweight e-MTB drive system installed on the Transition Relay Alloy PNW. The Ride 60’s defining feature is its Take Out battery — the motor lives permanently at the bottom bracket while the Fazua Energy 430 battery slides out of the downtube without tools for separate charging or to reduce carry weight.
