La nuova E‑Road Bike Pergusa è pensata per liberare la pedalata: il motore Fazua offre tre livelli di assistenza (Breeze, River, Rocket) che vanno da un supporto lieve a spinte aggressive per le salite, mentre il telaio e i componenti di qualità riducono il peso complessivo a 17,3 kg per un’esperienza fluida su asfalto e percorsi variegati.

THE DRIVE

Fazua Drivepack: three distinct assist personalities

The Pergusa’s Fazua Drivepack Evation 1.0 delivers three assist modes: Breeze (a light, constant push), River (progressive, sporty support that follows the rider’s power) and Rocket (aggressive assistance for steep sections), with peak motor output and measured support designed to extend range and make climbs manageable.

THE SPEC

Race‑grade components in a lightweight package

Pergusa pairs a compact 17.3 kg frame with Shimano 105 components, 700C Signum alloy wheels and Schwalbe Durano 700x28 tyres, hydraulic disc brakes and a 25 km/h assisted top speed—specs built to keep the bike responsive and confident on paved terrain.

THE KIT

What the price includes and optional extras

Standard rental includes a lock, repair kit, mini pump and multi‑tool; helmets, an app with itineraries, bikepacking bags, quick‑release pedals, smartphone mounts and power banks are available as paid options, and delivery/pickup can be requested at booking for an extra fee.

What the day feels like

How the two‑day ride feels

Across a short two‑day rental the Pergusa behaves like a racing bike with on‑demand electric muscle: select Breeze for a gentle push on rolling roads, River when you want a direct, power‑responsive assist, and Rocket to maintain momentum up steep stretches—all managed through the integrated Fazua Remote Touch while the battery and drivepack remain neatly integrated in the frame.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this rental suits — and who should reconsider.

1
Performance‑minded road ridersRiders seeking a lightweight e‑road experience with selectable power assistance for climbs and tempo sections will find the Pergusa a precise match.
2
Weekend renters & exploratory ridersThe two‑day format works well for short escapes from Pisa, especially for riders who want to test Fazua assistance without committing to ownership.
3
Those without a credit card or IDNot ideal: a credit card and passport/identity card are required at booking because a card will be requested for the security deposit.
4
Riders who expect high‑speed motor assistanceBe aware the system provides assistance up to 25 km/h; above that speed the motor assistance cuts out as per legal and design limits.
