FAZUA Ride 60 drive
Compact, powerful, and incredibly natural – the new standard from Porsche eBike Performance
The segment of light e-bikes is sought after by cyclists desiring the agility and look of a classic bicycle. The current technological peak is the integrated FAZUA Ride 60 drive by Porsche eBike Performance GmbH, which redefines the design and functioning of modern e-bikes.
Natural riding feel comes first
The system's philosophy is based on discreet assistance that sensitively multiplies the rider's own power. Torsion and cadence sensors ensure a smooth onset of power. Once the speed of 25 km/h is exceeded or when the assistance is completely turned off, the integrated freewheel completely disconnects, the motor offers no mechanical resistance, and you ride purely on your own as on a normal bike. The goal is not to turn the bicycle into a motorcycle, but to give you a permanent feeling of being in great physical shape.
Heart and muscles: The Drive Unit
The FAZUA Ride 60 Drive Unit mid-motor weighs just 1.96 kg. Its minimalist dimensions allow for the construction of slim frame tubes, while the system offers:
Torque
For dynamic acceleration and confident climbing.
Max. power
In the short-term Boost mode, which will support you in difficult terrain.
Motor operation
Thanks to optimized gearing that does not disturb with mechanical noise.
Energy for long kilometers: The Energy 480 Battery
The Energy 480 battery with a capacity of 480 Wh weighs 2.40 kg. Thanks to the high energy density of the cells, it achieves an excellent range. The battery is integrated into the down tube and features a motion sensor, so the system automatically turns on as soon as you move the bike. The magnetic charging port in the frame supports fast charging with up to 3A. The connector guides itself into the correct position, and after disconnection, the cap magnetically closes, protecting the system from water and dirt.
Intelligent riding modes and app ecosystem
Through the FAZUA App (Bluetooth connection), the three preset modes can be completely personalized:
●
●

●
Breeze
A gentle and constant "tailwind" even at low pedaling power and cadence.

Connect with your bike: FAZUA App & Connectivity
The FAZUA mobile app takes the riding experience to a completely new level. It allows you to monitor your progress in detail, analyze data, and, above all, customize the motor's behavior down to the smallest detail to perfectly match your riding style.
What does the smart FAZUA ecosystem offer?
-
Live Dashboard and Power Split
Track your data in real time. The unique Power Split indicator visually shows you the current power ratio right while riding – i.e., how much energy you are currently putting into the pedals from your legs and how many watts the motor is adding. Of course, you also have the exact battery status or currently selected mode available. -
Customizer and Profile Store
Answer a few simple questions in the app, and the system will create a riding profile tailored exactly to you. Moreover, you can manually and very finely tune each of the three assistance modes. If you prefer to rely on the experience of others, you can download ready-made profiles fine-tuned by professional cyclists in the integrated Profile Store. -
Detailed statistics and maps
Record your routes and preserve your cycling experiences. The application allows you to view the routes you have ridden on an interactive map, analyze which support modes you use most often in which terrain, and compare your longest or fastest rides. -
Full connectivity (ANT+ and BLE)
The Ride 60 system does not rely solely on mobile phones but seamlessly communicates via modern Bluetooth Low Energy and ANT+ interfaces. This makes it easy to pair with most smart cycling computers on the market (e.g., Garmin). You can keep the most important data from the motor and battery constantly in sight right on your handlebar display.
Who is the FAZUA Ride 60 for?
Thanks to its versatility, the drive finds application in all major categories:
- Gravel and Road: For riders demanding aerodynamics and the behavior of a classic bike on the flats, but with support on the hills.
- E-MTB: Allows the construction of light trail and XC bikes under 20 kg that do not lose their playfulness on descents.
- Urban and Commuting: For fast urban commuting without effort, with an elegant design that does not attract thieves.
The integration of the drive into premium Santa Cruz e-bike models is a testament to its top quality.
Perfect symbiosis
The FAZUA Ride 60 represents a perfect symbiosis of human power and electric assistance. By combining German engineering under the auspices of Porsche, a system was created that respects cycling tradition but gives you the freedom to ride further and climb higher without unnecessary extra weight.
