    Known Issues & Problems with Zen Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    I am having some electrical problems with the Photon Pro, seems to be a controller board failure or loose connection somewhere. 1) The front light dims for a split second before returning to normal. It happens more often when it’s colder. It’s random; sometimes bumps, turns, or just going...

    Zen Photon Pro- Preorder | 1040Wh UL Certified battery | 500W nominal/900W peak power Torque-sensing motor w/ Throttle | USD 2999 | CAD 3999

    My Kricket kept showing 35 pounds or so of tension and was within the acceptable range, the best tension suggested for an ebike is around 40 pounds so I moved it up to around there so I wouldn't have slippage when I am really pushing it. What is funny about my whistle is that it keeps setting...

    Yeah, 2 or 3 days after posting on here I received the email from Drew on my questions. I would have never figured out where the tension screw was if it wasn't for these pictures... never thought it was part of the hub itself.

    Well, this is interesting. I emailed [email protected] twice with my belt drive tension question and still haven't received a response. I also asked how to adjust the seat suspension because I hadn't figured it out.

    I wonder how much that would cost to upgrade to the Automatiq and how easy would it be to switch over to it. I sent an email to Zen today asking them how to adjust the belt drive for the Photon, looking at the bike I can't find the belt tension screws that are commonly used to fine-tune the...

    I finally got my Photon after a very long wait. Somehow my tracking and shipping info got screwed up and I had to have an email chain with Zen and the shipping company to get it resolved. The delay lasted long enough that I almost thought it got stolen or something like that. The tracking never...

    Any news on the bikes stuck in customs? Pretty sure mine is part of that since I was a late February/March order.

    Nice!! Mind if I ask where and what month you are preorder-wise? I did my pre-order in late February and Ravi allowed me to pay it off early so I won't have a payment request to give me a heads-up.

    Alright, I bought mine in mid-late February so my heart sank a bit when you said 4 bikes a day in an earlier post but it sounds like I am not really that far off from getting mine too.

    Zen Photon review

    Ravi, do you have any pictures or more specs for that Photon Pro Lite? Any idea on the price or when you will be releasing it? The Lite may be more up my alley than the Pro. It's been hard to find a mid-drive, IGH, and carbon belt with throttle.

    I do have a question about the Zen Photons display/controller. Do you have a smart lock system set up with it? Something like what Bosch or Specialized use? I always figured it was a shame that most e-bikes don't take advantage of them actually having electrical systems when it comes to...

    I pulled the trigger on Carbon Grey today, I am partial to electric blue but it looks like that wasn't an option this year. I wish I had been able to buy it earlier but I only found out about the Zen e-bikes on Wednesday and the funds I needed to buy the bike were tied up for my vacation to...

    Ariel Rider M Class Questions

    Curious for an update on this, I have a 2019 M-Class and have over 350 miles with no issues. About the only issue I have had with them is the rear light doesn't work for whatever reason, I just shrugged and bought rechargeable one.

    Ariel Rider M Class Review

    They use a Promax adjustable handlebar and it can be adjusted so the reach is less than 22 inches. The 1.75" are good for road use, off-road will depend heavily on the tire type and what type of off-road you use it for. The max tire size the bike can use is a 1.95", I have Maxxis Hookworms on...
