Hey guys, Apologies for the delayed response. Google suite (Gmail, G-drive) doesn't work in China and all our company email and documents are on Google cloud. So, I had to use VPN using spotty mobile data connection and for a week, my Canadian phone data was not working. So, it was challenging...

@CincyKid and @Gionnirocket , you could be the first in the US to ride an M6100 motor running at 52V, 750W. Let me know if you need any changes done to your bike. I will personally test the unit in about 5 days when I am at the Ananda factory. I believe we can make it very smooth and powerful...

Cold temperatures affect the battery range (so do strong headwinds) A decent rider with a fairly even contribution from the motor and the rider would offer 140kms of range in assist level 1 or 2, depending on the terrain. We have several riders crossing more than100kms on a charge.

Thanks for your note, Johnny. OEMs can update the torque and power ratings on the Ananda motor. While most of their motors operate at 48V, we worked with them to get to 52V and change certain programming. One of the most exciting motors in their lineup for 2024 is an M300. It offers 750W of...

Electrek visited the Ananda factory, and here is a video from them. I will visit the Ananda factory in 10 days and can share a more detailed report. If you have any specific requests, please drop a note here.

Thanks for sharing! Our team worked hard to get an updated, UL-certified charger after the initial programming issue, and I am glad you're enjoying the bike. Looking forward to being part of your E-bike journey.

Out of all the IGHs, Rohloff has the longest track record and stellar reputation. There have been delays, but they have always maintained an excellent reputation. The 3X3 hub looks promising but there is not enough field data.

Bosch only has UL-2849. I don't think their 2271 is not valid anymore. I remember speaking with UL, and previously, Bosch had passed UL-2271 with Intertek, and after the revamp of UL-2271, they were on the list for some time, but someone at UL mentioned that "Bosch is there only because they...

Wayne stopped by our facility this afternoon. As a previous motoryclist, Wayne is liking his transition to E-bikes from motorcycles. It looks like he will rack up at least 4000 kms this summer and lose about 40 lbs at the run rate he is currently going at.

I will check if both UART and CANbus versions can be programmed from the tool or not.

Schwalbe Marathon Plus would last a long time. We have also had great experience with Schwalbe Super Moto-X tires.

@Gionnirocket , I did have a chat with the Bafang factory personnel and learned that both 750W and 1000W have the same hardware. The motor armature is capable of handling 1500W continuously. To tune the motor to 1000W, the BESST tool is used to program the motor. From what I have learned, this...

Next time Wayne visits our facility, our team will take some images. We are looking forward to getting your bike built soon.

You should be getting it fairly soon. I would say in the next 7-8 business days it would ship out from our facility. Our team will contact you next week to process the pending balance payment and get this shipped out to you.

The battery BMS and charger must communicate to regulate the SoC and charging protocols. This has been implemented in all our Photon bikes.

Hi Wayne, You placed an order with us very early (back in November 2023), and your bike is ready for pickup at our location. Please let us know when would you like to come and pick it up. Thanks

Of course, how would we promise something if we did not receive the Photon frames after sharing constant updates? :) The Photon Pro bikes were stored in the other half of the picture, which was not visible. The bikes are getting built in the sequence of order we received. We are building at the...

Wh - in will always be > Wh - out. There are inefficiencies with every charger, and it is safe to add 5-8 % buffer to compensate for that.

100's bikes are sitting in our warehouse hallway. Our mechanics are working according to the production schedule.

The container arrived this morning after battling some snowstorm yesterday. We are busy unloading this to our warehouse and will share more pictures later today.
