Good advice! Thanks for the link action too. I tend only to glance at it anyway for speed and PAS level. My use case was the better cockpit config(and pogies, though the extreme cold has since passed).

Sure did yeah, it came up in another thread...I think the one for the latest version of the Photon. Reach out to them about it. I haven't put it to the test in full sunlight yet, and I doubt we'll have much today.

Finally got the upgraded display and had a chance to re-arrange the cockpit to my liking and get it installed. I don't use throttle...ever really(and can still reach in a pinch if I need to), but it's handy for maintenance I suppose. I found the lack of good placement for a bell was really...

I sort of wonder what's going on there, TBH. There was a lot of blame on logistics and other such last year...but like, having to follow up in the extreme/inaction on their end has been the norm since I got the bike. I'm growing rather concerned.

I went wider because as far as ebiking in winter in Saskatoon, fat studded has worked well for me in our most common conditions(though those were 3-4.8" fat tire ebikes at lower pressures). SO I figured I'd roll the dice on 2.6".. I still think this was the right move, though right now at...

So. I have found out. I agree, getting that last 20% of the bead on and seated was incredibly hard -- but did you also try doing it with tannus armor?(I did) what a brutal experience(talc helps in the tire a lot, didn't do it in the first tire and I have regrets..because I may be redoing it...

In this city/Saskatoon, we've had huge temp swings, and we're pretty awful for snow clearing on roadways. Everything is sheer ice and snirt right now with a new layer of really cold snow. A week of extreme cold warnings. Can confirm, this is probably best handled by low pressure fat tires. But...

I take it the skinny tires are a bit challenging, are they? Still waiting on my 2.6", but there's hope yet...the mail is running. Have ridden on fat tire ebikes in winter. It's good fun, and would be better not having to try and oil the chain at -30. We're in for yet another frigid blizzard...

...I'm positive the cost is a little rich for me right now -- but if the swap is that gnarly to do twice a year -- Maybe I pay a shop to or get plug and play wheelset as you said.

Tis actually my plan this coming summer. Ride until battery 1 runs out, then ride home on #2. Uncertain where I'll put the battery yet, though. Part of me wondered about backpack--though I ride free of one these days and love it. Battery trailer complete with solar charger also has some...

As far as getting summer/wheels made -- I had the same thoughts. Means we'd need another enviolo heavy duty, though, right? I wonder what the cost of said wheels might be. I got tannus armor and tube for mine also. Looks like mail is starting back up shortly so tires will be coming my way, finally.

Ooooh! That's most excellent! Let's do it!

I find myself slightly jealous of the center mount display(works better for winter with pogies) and those turn signals seem neat, though by law I would still have use hand signals in Sask.

Exactly what I did! Wish I had opted for that premium shipping now, though. Canada Post still has mine in a warehouse/depot in Winnipeg, LOL.

I'm eventually going to find out. Found a comment somewhere that mentioned up to 2.8 was possible, but required removing fenders. 2.6 apparently didn't? Or at least I hope.
