Update for this year on parts updates for winter: I've now swapped out the stem(Chromag Ranger V2 I had on hand), and bars(Chromag Cutlass; same story, the home parts bin). Highly recommend carbon bars in extreme cold like we have in Saskatchewan, they don't transmit the cold(pogies are still...

Good help is hard to find kind of thing? Yeah, could be so. Well fingers crossed for them and us, frankly.

This was the most recent I've seen. https://www.facebook.com/reel/1798902154160924 I found it curious that it had nothing to do with bikes. Feels like the bike business was just a stepping stone to battery factory from the outside looking in in this case. And I guess fair enough, just wish...

And yet I see Zen ebike socials are being posted to again about the Battery factory -- which I thought was Zen Energy(a separate company and venture)? Anyway yeah...I had really high hopes buying from a scrappy upstart in Canada. Funny that I ribbed Biktrix in the past--they're still here and...

Best of luck with fixes. I had wondered why it got so quiet, I suppose the company doing the same on support and here jives with that.

I have done so. Confirmed mine is the M100, though. Not the 160Nm. And I generally only run in PAS1, maybe 2 if I really need some gusto. So it's definitely not the torque problem from the higher torque motor that you were thinking of. Not sure where that leaves me as far as any of it goes. I'd...

I am awaiting reply since his last on the 24th of June -- on the 30th I sent picture of the repairs I described above and it has been silence ever since. Emailed you the same thing now. I'd be glad to lower things so keeping it running is easier, but the service team is not responsive.

Update: Yep. My last communication was June 30 with pictures and such. Silence on this end since. I'm confident I made the right choice just to be able to keep riding. Anecdotally it's working the best it has since I got the bike. And I now have my eye on testing a wheel with Bafang's new hub...

Well...shifter -- cable broke horribly on the end with the tiny nubbin, the other side developed a kink as a result. Manual interface got grime underneath(my first time pulling it off fully, no idea when this may have happened, truly) and also the addition of a brand new snap ring stuck inside...

Well...thanks to the CVT drivetrain failing spectacularly(again, the first was not as spectacular, just shifter/cable replacement)...today I replaced Shifter(+cables), manual interface, and belt...under 3000km. This is getting to be a heckin' expensive bike to maintain. (2024 Photon Pro). Maybe...

That's good to hear...My experience with this enviolo CVT has been nothing short of a bummer. I spend WAY too much time trying to keep tension correct/the belt from skipping, and the shifter cables have snapped 2x. Once in the first 25km, and again now. I sort of wish I had taken the hint at...

Yeah, there is that, too. Riding a >30lb pedal-only bike in the meantime/right now is like I can fly! There's certainly a few reasons I'm pondering the sale.

May I ask why you're selling? Am thinking about doing the same with the Pro, TBH(Once I repair mine). Have wondered if the Rohloff was any better than the CVT: Mine's broken badly a bunch of times now. This last time quite badly on gravel(such that I'm replacing the belt and manual hub...

Same thing here(Though I haven't seen that Canada is moving there as quickly). Another manufacturer kept saying their cells are UL certified, which doesn't sound like the same thing to me, so I bought in to Zen(heck the certification is posted here in the forum IIRC--easy to check that box).

...Thanks for posting this. I finally replaced mine today. The seatpost has been slipping a bit every time I hit a bump lately. The plastic on the QR for the original seems to have failed.
