Is it also possible to ride the UP as a "normal" bike?

Yes, you can remove the battery-powered motor unit (3.3 kg) in a few simple steps for a quick after-school ride or if you want to really wear your kids out. This way, the mountain bike will be even lighter and even more agile to ride. You can replace the battery-powered motor unit with a downtube cover available as a separate accessory from Fazua. This cover weighs 490 g and doubles up as a practical place to stash tools, snacks and other important things.
