Maxx is a German bicycle manufacturer offering a diverse range of models, including both electric and standard bicycles. In 2022, the brand introduced the ELS series of electric bikes, which are equipped with Shimano drive units to provide efficient power assistance. Continuing their innovative approach, Maxx released the ELF range for 2023, comprising four new models: the Jinxx ELF, the RaceMaxx ELF, the RoadMaxx ELF Sport, and the RoadMaxx ELF Tour.
Across the board, all the ELF models from Maxx are equipped with the Fazua Ride 60 motor, which is known for its lightweight design weighing only 4.2 kilograms. This motor is part of the Fazua system, which is owned by Porsche and has gained popularity in the market. It has a nominal power output of 250 watts and a torque rating of 60 Newton-meters. The ELF models are powered by a 430-watt-hour battery pack, providing ample power for extended rides. A notable new feature of the Fazua system is the Ring Control operating unit, which allows riders easy access to various ride modes and other features.
