E7000 vs Fazua Ride 60

[mikemtb66]

I have an alpine trail E1, thinking of getting a Decoy SN, I generally ride in trail mode and thinking I can shed some weight. On paper it seems like the Fazua ride 60 would at least be somewhat comparable in power to the E7000, but is there more to it then the numbers?

I have the Ride 60. It’s silent and good amount of power. Slightly less than my Gen 3 Bosch Performance CX but the bike is also 14 lbs lighter. So far I like the fazua motor. Also , great app on my iPhone that I use while riding. Gives me real time data while I’m riding. Way better than Bosch or Brose motors.

I went ahead and bought the Decoy SN. My experience so far with 3 short rides is that the power is not too far off of the Shimano E7000, but it is delivered in a much different way. The Fazua seems to more or less match my output, where as with the E7000 I could ride real lazy and not contribute much in trail or boost modes. Also feels like way less drag when the motor is off and feels much more like a normal bike overall.
