Santa Cruz Bicycles Skitch Apex

The Fazua Ride 60 is designed for a natural, intuitive ride feel. It provides smooth, quiet power delivery that mimics the sensation of a traditional bicycle rather than feeling like a heavy, motorized push.

Yes, it is built to handle both pavement and gravel. While it features a rigid fork, the frame geometry is suspension-corrected, allowing you to swap in a gravel-specific suspension fork later if you want more comfort on rougher terrain.

The Skitch Apex is a Class 3 e-bike, meaning the pedal assist will provide power up to 28 mph. Once you exceed that speed, the motor disengages, and you rely on your own pedaling power.

You can connect your smartphone to the bike via Bluetooth. This allows you to customize motor settings, track your ride data, and monitor battery health directly through the Fazua app.

Safety is a priority for this model. The entire electrical system, including the battery and drive unit, is UL-2271 and UL-2849 certified, meeting rigorous industry standards for fire and electrical safety.

Range varies significantly based on your assist mode, terrain, rider weight, and wind conditions. While specific mileage isn't fixed, the 430 Wh battery is optimized for efficiency, making it well-suited for daily commutes and spirited weekend rides.
