Summary
The Focus Paralane2 is praised for its endurance-focused design, offering a smooth ride that closely mimics a traditional road bike, with added comfort from wide tyres and in-built compliance. Its Fazua motor system is highlighted for providing just enough assistance on hills without overpowering the ride, maintaining a sporty character. However, some reviews note limitations like the motor's engagement and aftermarket wheel compatibility due to Road Boost axles.
Smooth-riding road-bike feel
Excellent comfort levels with wide tyres and in-built compliance
Fazua motor system provides balanced assistance
Can take up to 35mm tyres for versatility
Quality ride with a sporty character
Road Boost axles limit aftermarket wheel choice
Motor engagement can be harsh in highest mode
Fazua controller is bulky and occupies space for GPS computer
Battery is heavy and at potential risk of theft
Innovative as always, Focus were one of the first brands to not only utilise Fazua’s clever removable motor and battery system but also deliver a proper performance based e-road bike with the Paralane2.
Cycling WeeklyThe beauty of Fazua’s system is its unobtrusive nature. It’s like getting a second wind but you always feel like it’s you in control rather than the bike taking over.
BikeRadarWith the Paralane², Focus provide an aesthetically pleasing and integrated solution for the E-road sector.
