    Zen Photon Pro- Preorder | 1040Wh UL Certified battery | 500W nominal/900W peak power Torque-sensing motor w/ Throttle | USD 2999 | CAD 3999

    The Photon Pro bike mentioned in this thread or this website link has excellent torque and battery range. The Photon Pure with 20Ah battery would also work quite well. If you have been happy with the torque sensor performance of Juiced, then you will be very pleased with Zen Photon.

    Those pre-ordered in January should get their bike by late March. If anyone places an order today, they will get it in the 2nd or 3rd week of April just because there is a queue ahead of them. The vessel is leaving tomorrow and should reach 3rd week of March. I will keep everyone updated on the...

    UPP BATTERIES BANNED AND DANGEROUS

    Those screw-type contacts are really bad for E-bike packs. It may pass for a pack used in stationary storage. Even then, high-voltage creates hot spots at those interfaces, leading to higher resistance. An E-bike pack experiences much higher G-force (especially in MTBs). Cell terminal to bus bar...

    Nice. What is the range on that @Gionnirocket ? Have you done long rides? (70+ miles?) from our extensive testing, 52V,20Ah pack lasts easily ~150kms ( 90 miles) with active pedaling. Even with heavy assist, 70 miles should be possible.

    I hope this image provides a more vivid visualization of the color scheme. High-Viz green accents are for visibility at night. The motor is 500W nominal but running at 52V, goes upto ~950W peak power. Physical hardware wise, there is no difference between US and Canada motors. For the US...

    Thanks for this note. We get your point. This production schedule was a limited quantity run, and perhaps, in a few months, we will offer different color options once we gauge the market interest. The E-bike market is oversaturated and we feel investing significant capital to produce different...

    We have worked hard to ensure these Photon Pure bikes come with top-level components; for example, derailleur + shifter + cassette are E-bike Specific Shimano Cues Linkglide. These are typically found on $3500+ bikes. Most bikes in USD 2000 price point are spec'ed with Altus or, at the most...

    Yes, it is more of Pure White as opposed to cream color. Local dealers and several customers indicated that they prefer white over cream color. The color shown below is on Photon Pure but the Pro version would also have the same pure white option.

    AVOID UPP BATTERY UK government slaps a ban on 'dangerous' e-bike battery which was sold on Amazon and linked to fires

    It is really unfortunate because these fires can be avoided easily with the right kind of batteries. This should be posted under the Guides and Announcements section so people are aware of them. We need to be serious about these so no more lives are lost (like how we have seen in NYC) !

    Help choosing an air fork

    Most fat tire suspensions you find in the $2.5K range are mostly coil springs with poor-quality seals and stanchions. We found them inadequate to handle winters in Canada with salt on the road. We built some bikes with RST Guide, Zoom, and other forks and found within 1 winter, they were...
