I have an annoying issue with the Photon Pro. There is a ticking noise coming from the motor when power is applied, ie. when I pedal with assist or when I use the throttle. It sounds like maybe a gear is damage or some dirt got in. Is this a common issue? How can I fix this?

How much did they say for a set of complete plug and play set of wheels?

I have the 27.5x2.25, they worked great. It's best on ice, thin snow, and packed snow. As long as the studs can make contact with a hard surface, the tires will grip. I feel super confident on my winter commute.

Well.. the Ice Spiker was awesome on ice... but snow was difficult lol. I think you need 4" or more for snow.

I'd love to see a Zen Fat bike with belt drive for the Canadian winter.

The fit was super tight.. I had a hell of a time removing and mounting the tyres.

It was super tough to put these on. I think I ll build a new set of wheels for the summer. I bought the 2.25 because 2.6 were not available.

You know what? I'm gonna go ahead and try it anyways.

This is my groceries carrying machine!

Does the Photon have enough clearance for 27.7x2.6 studded? I cannot find any studded tires at 27.5x2.4. So far just 2.25 and 2.6. i ride in Winnipeg and it's definitely icy here.

I went for a short 10km ride, that's as much throttle only as I can tolerate. 10km will cost you about 13~14% on throttle only.

The suspension seatpost came standard with the Photon Pro. I think CVT works well for ebikes. I usually shift to a lighter "gear" when coming to a stop. Then shift to a level where I can maintain a certain cadence. Not many hills here, so I shift based on the wind.

Sorry, I had every intention to test throttle only, but only 1 mile into the ride... I forgot and started pedaling. I'll try again tomorrow.

Sure, I'll try today after work.

I was able to reach 45kph on assist lv 1 and 2 with effort; higher levels was much easier.
