Fazua Ride 60 Deep Dive - MTB | Everything You Need to Know

This video was perfect timing!! Just got my Nebo this week and watching this video is way better than trying to figure the app out on my own! Well done!

How are you liking your Nebo so far?

[@baggageincluded6744]

@@kyledavis635 love it!!!!

[@kyledavis635]

@@baggageincluded6744 I am seriously interested in it! Anything you could share i.e. what do you like best about it? Is there anything you're not crazy about? What build level did you get? How is the battery range? Were there other mid power bikes that you also considered and if so why did you choose the Nebo over them? Thanks in advance for your reply...

[@baggageincluded6744]

@@kyledavis635 I will try to answer all your questions. I did not look at other e-bikes. I am an Ambassador for Ari bikes so the choice was easy for me. I got the elite build and I absolutely love it. I am 60 years old and still wanted the ability to ride without the assistance of a motor and the Nebo is perfect. Sometimes I will do trails and only use the assistance of the motor on the steep climb. Another reason I went with the Nebo is the geometry and travel in similar to the Ari Delano Peak which I also own and absolutely love. As far as range I have never gotten it past 1/2 battery’s life so far.

@@baggageincluded6744 Thanks... appreciate your reply. Funny, in that I am 61 and so likely in a similar place as you are... ☺

Pfft, mine lasted 6 months and about 600 miles. My Transition Relay is in the shop for a motor replacement. So many in my same situation. Some people on their 3rd motor.

Yea I've had lots of problems: battery connection (but the Ari seems to have a different plug), ring controller breaks, bike loses connection in the middle of a ride (may be the battery again), torque sensor gives error codes, motor drops out. Pretty much every component of the Fazua has given me problems in just 5 months of ownership.

Nice video. Can you shutdown the motor completely via the app? Im thinking of an anti theft mode, which stops someone using it without the phone connection?

[@Wingerland]

The USB connection for the connections to my MacBook is unstable and apparently requires a USB A connection which is only available for an old laptop. Do you know when the new firmware update will arrive such that I can actually use a USB-C cable to my MacBook in a stable way.

[@OhTheNormanity]

When going through the app, you said the firmware update links though to Shimano's website. I believe you meant Fazua's. I was interested in the Nebo Peak but decided to stick with my Orbea Rise for now. Fazua needs to update their control points. That 5 led top "display" is primitive compared to those like TQ's, Specializes and now the DJI (which appears to be the leader now in control points). Fazua also needs to get their range extender out. Honestly, not sure I would trust that company now as they keep on breaking promise on delivery of that,. I still think the Nebo Peak looks awesome, but the Fazua issues give me pause. Still nice that you provided a video on the set up.

[@kyledavis635]

I hear you re the Fazua. I've ridden a couple bikes with the Fazua and it's a really good motor - very peppy (way better than the TQ!) and all the reviews I read seem to indicate that it provides very good range - which I've seen on my test rides. However, I totally agree with you regarding the extender. It surprises me that so many big bike companies who have partnered with them aren't extremely pissed that they haven't come through with an extender after having promised it for so long... Or, maybe they are pissed and we haven't heard about it because they don't want to make it public that their bikes have a notable shortcoming i.e. a motor system with no extender? I am also strongly considering the Nebo Peak...

Current firmware only supports one Bluetooth connection. Hence, if I have my Apple Watch connected to the FAZUA sensors, I cannot at the same time connect to the app on my iPhone. When is the next firmware update due which includes two Bluetooth connections?

[@jack91522]

Can you even connect your Apple Watch to the sensors? That would be awesome to have it on my watch. Battery level especially
