The E‑Road Bike Pergusa is built around the Fazua Drivepack Evation system and a race‑minded Shimano 105 specification, delivering a lightweight (17.3 kg) e‑road machine with three distinct assistance modes that change how you attack climbs and rolling terrain. Over four days in and around Pisa you can explore at your own pace with a compact integrated battery, an assist ceiling of 25 km/h and support calibrated to the rider’s input.

THE MOTOR

Fazua Drivepack Evation: three ways to add power

The Pergusa uses the Fazua Drivepack Evation 1.0 with an integrated 250 W battery (peak 400 W) and three assistance levels: Breeze for a light 100 W‑style push, River for a progressive, sporty follow of your power, and Rocket for aggressive help on steep sections. Support is quantified in the system’s specs (Breeze, River, Rocket) and the motor delivers a maximum assist torque listed in the technical data.

THE COMPONENTS

Race‑grade Shimano 105 and lightweight build

The bike pairs Shimano 105 R7000 components (including R7020 disc brakes, 11‑speed cassette and 2x crankset) with SIGNUM Racing Alloy 700C wheels and Schwalbe Durano 700x28 tyres, yielding a complete, road‑oriented package that weighs 17.3 kg.

INCLUDED & OPTIONAL

What’s in the rental and available extras

The rental price includes a lock, repair kit, mini pump and multi‑tool. Optional paid extras cover a helmet, route app, bikepacking bags, quick‑release pedals, smartphone mount and power bank. Delivery and collection can be requested at booking for a quote.

What the day feels like

How the four days feel on the Pergusa

Riding the Pergusa is defined by a lightweight frame and an assistance system that adapts to how hard you push. Breeze gives a steady nudge for long tours, River mirrors your power for a sportive, connected feel, and Rocket supplies the extra torque you need on steeper pitches — the bike’s assist cuts out at the legal limit of 25 km/h. Over four days you’ll alternate pure pedalling with moments of motor support, using the integrated Fazua Remote Touch display to manage battery and modes while relying on a full Shimano 105 groupset for consistent braking and shifting.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who gets the most from four days on the Pergusa — and who should plan differently.

1
Experienced road cyclistsRiders used to road geometry and Shimano 105‑level shifting will appreciate the Pergusa’s race‑oriented parts and the way the Fazua system augments rather than replaces pedalling; note the standard rental requirements for deposit and ID.
2
Sportive e‑bike explorersIf you like pushing a strong assist on climbs, the Rocket mode and high support torque suit riders who want aggressive help; rental formalities include a credit card hold and presentation of passport/ID.
3
Casual riders wanting assisted touringBreeze mode provides a gentle assist for longer, less intense days; be prepared to provide a credit card and ID at pickup and consider renting a helmet if you don’t bring one.
4
Travelers without a credit card or IDThis rental requires a credit card for a security deposit and a passport or national ID at handover, so travelers who cannot meet those requirements will need to arrange alternatives before booking.
