Santa Cruz Skitch

The Fazua Ride60 motor is designed to decouple completely when the assist is turned off or when you exceed the top speed. This means you experience zero drag, making the bike feel just like a standard, lightweight acoustic bicycle rather than a heavy e-bike.

At 30 pounds, the Skitch is significantly lighter than most electric commuters, which typically weigh 50 pounds or more. This makes it much easier to carry up stairs, lift onto a bike rack, or maneuver through tight city spaces.

You can expect a range of up to 60 miles on a single charge. However, your actual mileage will vary based on the assist mode you choose, the terrain, your total payload, and how much effort you put into pedaling.

The electronic shifting provides crisp, precise gear changes with very little effort, which is a major advantage in urban environments. Because it eliminates cable stretch and mechanical friction, you get consistent, reliable performance every time you press the shifter.

While the Skitch is a high-performance commuter, its lightweight carbon frame and premium components make it a target for theft. We recommend using a high-quality lock and, if possible, keeping it stored indoors or in a secure bike room rather than leaving it unattended on the street for extended periods.

While it is optimized for urban transit, the Skitch is very capable on longer rides. Its natural pedaling feel, 12-speed drivetrain, and efficient motor make it an excellent choice for fitness riding or longer weekend excursions where you want a bit of extra help on climbs.
