    All battery powered devices have vampire drain. Not sure why your buddy is shocked. Hasn't he ever owned literally anything with batteries before?

    The ring controller, which I initially had no issues with, is problematic. I've got the updated version (on my Relay) but it now sticks, even when the clamping bolt is completely removed. I like to flip my bike over for maintenance but the ring controller ends up sitting directly against the...

    If you want the Fazua 60 and want a suspension that will work properly with a coil shock, you need the Relay. The Levo SL has poor geo and a small battery imo. GL.

    Silent? No. Quite quiet? Definitely.

    Seems to me all e-bike motors break, but I agree that the F60 might have below average reliability. Most of the issues seem to be on Pivots and I was told it was software related. That said, my own F60 got louder after 2-3 rides, rode 100% fine but was replaced under warranty. Truthfully I wish...

    I don't use Strava these days so don't have good numbers for you, but others have posted them. You should be able to get a about 3.5K' climbing in Rocket mode and 6'K climbing in Breeze mode. Tons of variables obviously including your weight, how power sucking is your terrain, tire choice, etc...

    I've ridden my Relay (with the Fazua 60) next to a buddy on the new Levo SL. We have similar range, when he runs his RE. I suspect my F60 could go further than he could, with the RE. Also, there goes his weight advantage since he nearly always had the RE on. I've ridden with full power e-...

    That noise level is fine imo.

    The Loam Wolf review mentioned that something about the Heckler SL frame design seemed to cause a lot of resonance/ noise to be heard from the F60 motor that isn't present in other F60 iterations. I can tell you that I don't even hear my F60 on my Relay.

    Real world weight with size and what that includes please (i.e. size, pedals, tires, bash guard, inserts, tools on board?). Congrats and thanks!

    When you have the advantage of a motor but also the clumsiness of a heavier e-bike, the mullet offers a clear handling advantage with no loss of climbing performance. I've tried both back-to-back geo adjusted and the mullet is better by a clear margin. That's the reason that nearly all of the...

    Sounds ideal so far. I'm okay with my quick remove battery on my Relay, but I'd rather have fixed.

    The record isn't great on many of the e- bike motors & the Fazua is probably below average in that ranking. I choose a Fazua equipped bike specifically because what the specs and reviews said about it, suggested to me that the Fazua has the best combo of natural power delivery, noise, weight...

    Most of the Pivot Fazua problems are related specifically Pivot software.
