About the Focus Vam² SL 8.7
Lightweight
The carbon frame on this bike puts it into the superlight category when it coms to full-suspension electric bikes. At just over 19kg, this is about the same weight as non-electric mountain bikes were in the 1990s, but of course with so much more power!
This combo of low weight and high power will supercharge your off-road riding. The agility of the bike is unreal. It's extremely responsive in the steering. Turn the steering wheel and the bike 'wants' to head in that direction; it feels like a bloodhound following a scent almost.
The Fazua 60 motor system is so compact it really is hard to tell from just looking at the bike that it has a motor at all. For those of you who want their e-bike to look as close to conventional bike as possible, this is as close as it gets.
The low weight will make putting this in the car, or on a bike rack so much easier, but you'll also benefit from the incredible agility of this bike.
There are some neat little features too, like the 'ring control' on the handlebar. Rather than having a screen on the handlebar - which might be vulnerable to damage when you're on off-road trail - this has a compact ring which controls how much assistance you get from the motor.
Summary: An extremely responsive full-suspension mountain bike for the rider that wants agility and lightness.
