Go ELECTRIC with our new Road EBike
Other manufacturers with this type of bike include Wilier and Orbea. Ribble too has recently launched an e-road bike. All three are based on the ebikemotion rear hub motor, with a battery in the down tube.
Focus has used a different system with the Focus Paralane2, with the Fazua motor housed in the bottom bracket shell and providing input through the cranks. It’s the same system as used by Pinarello amongst others.
The power
With any e-bike it’s worth noting that in Europe assistance is limited to below 25kph. The Paralane2 can provide up to an extra 250 watts to get you over even the hardest climbs.
