May 22, 2024 - (Ottobrunn, GER) A fresh take on riding fun with the Fazua Ride 50 as we present a new firmware update for all systems (Evation, Trail, Street). With update bundle v.029, riders can expect exciting new features and improvements for an even more intense riding experience. Specialist retailers can also look forward to an update to the Fazua Toolbox Advanced, which offers them advanced service options. Read on for an overview of all the exciting new features.
Boost function
The one-of-a-kind Fazua Boost function is now available for the Fazua Ride 50 Evation too. It allows riders to use the maximum motor power (350 W) for four seconds from a standstill, or for twelve seconds while riding. Trail and Street riders will find that the Boost function is now even more sensitive, powerful and harmonious. Re-activation extends the duration of the Boost function by twelve seconds.
Optimized handling
The update significantly optimizes the characteristics of the Fazua Ride 50 systems. Thanks to improved torque processing and the optimized algorithms, the motor’s support is noticeably more powerful, even when pedaling at an easygoing cadence. The rider experiences immediate and smooth support, even when riding in challenging and changing conditions. The motor responds rapidly and dynamically to the rider’s pedaling, guaranteeing maximum control and riding fun.
Shortened standby time
The standby time is shortened for more efficient battery use, leaving more resources available for the powerful Boost function and optimized handling.
Improved LED brightness
Fazua has also made significant improvements in terms of user-friendliness. The sensors in variants B, bX and fX of the remote control now respond even more sensitively to changing light conditions – for improved LED brightness and even better readability.
Calibration of the torque sensor
One highlight of the Toolbox update is that it gives riders the option of calibrating their bike’s torque sensor and thereby optimizing their riding experience.
Improved fault diagnostics
By overwriting old messages in the fault memory, the Fazua Toolbox Advanced displays an unlimited number of new entries. The filter function also allows specialist retailers to read the error messages in a more targeted manner, which makes diagnostics far easier.
Motor responsiveness
The improved algorithms identify the riding situation and intelligently adapt the drive behavior. So the “Reactivity” parameter has been removed from the Fazua Toolbox Advanced for retailers, making the Customizer even more user-friendly.
“By introducing the Boost function and other improvements, we are living up to our role as pioneers of light e-bike drives with the Fazua Ride 50 system. We are also continuing to offer our customers an unparalleled riding experience,” commented Florian von Wurmb-Seibel (Chief Technology Officer at Porsche eBike Performance).
The new firmware with Boost function for even more riding fun and other improvements is now available for all Fazua Ride 50 systems and can be updated using the Fazua Toolbox.
