    Photon Pro first ride impressions

    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.

    Photon Pro first ride impressions

    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.

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

    147.9km with 5% left. Probably safe to say that it can go 150km per full charge. Probably not good for the battery to do this though. Assist level 1 most of the way.

    The only thing I did in the settings was increase the speed limit from 32kph to 45kph.

    Long range mode engaged! Testing the cargo capacity today. In the front is a cooler full of ice and Gatorade. In the back, some clothes and granola bars for energy. We covered 80km with about a third of the way in the middle of a severe thunder storm. Battery remaining at the end of the trip was...

    Ok, got the charger. Let's see if this bike can do 140km on a full charge.

    Yup, I'll leave the basket on. I have a cooler and a basket that fit perfectly.

    Photon Pro first ride impressions

    Photon Pro: First ride Hey guys, here's my first impression of the Photon Pro for those who are interested. I've been a roadie for the last 15 years, and I will still ride my road race bike on the weekends. General commuting is my intended use for the Photon Pro: ride to work, groceries...

    Finally here. I didn't like that it was transported on its side instead of standing up.

    I can do a first impression if I can get in a ride tomorrow. Then I'll be using the Photon as my daily driver, work, groceries, etc. I'll probably do a full review after a few months.

    Ok, so looks like it's gonna be here from 8 to 12 tomorrow. Hope it doesn't take too long to put together.

    Not here yet. UPS is horrible... According to the tracking... it's still in Halifax. It was picked up on Apr 25, estimated arrival is today, but no updates from UPS. I'm pretty annoyed about it.

    Mine was shipped last week, Thursday. I emailed Deepak and got a tracking number. My bike is expected to arrive Monday.
