    Need your help: Left side motor cover question

    The cover, which is technically the cover for the wiring, has come completely detached. Before I pull the crank arm to really investigate, has the occurred with other Photon Pro users? Will I need a new cover because it was attached by the screws? Is there another method to attach this cover...

    Zen Photon Pro - Disc Brake Pad Replacement

    I'm taking this post back! LOL I finally replaced the disc pads, front and back. I replaced the oil in the back although it didn't appear to be dirty. Sanded down the rotors, too. The rear took forever to bleed. I mean, forever. Still not confident it is completely bled. The front was super...

    Do you like your Zen ebike? I mean really like it???

    I read a post on Facebook which got me to thinking about how to help support Zen. The post basically was basically stating if you are not taking and posting photos of your bike, did you buy the wrong bike... I love mine. Ride it everywhere. Long rides for fitness and pure enjoyment. Errands...

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

    I'm loving my Kinekt. No bouncing. Takes all of the road trash out. So smooth.

    This is what I went with: Wide and pretty flat with just a bit of backsweep. Mine are lime green to match the lettering on the white frame. I like them.

    This is my experience. If you hesitate for a fraction of a second you can easily shift up or down. Takes about 2-3 full twists to gain the full range. I do not find this a problem. I shift frequently, very frequently. Just like I did on a mountain bike back in my racing days. I do not have any...

    Pretty good up to about 3.5-4 hours. After that my butt starts wanting to be home. 😝

    I don't understand the question. Are you wanting the new Pro version to have the automatic shifter option or are you wanting to retrofit the shifter? Why do you not like the current shifter? I have 1300 miles on mine. I find it pretty easy to use

    Zen Photon Pro - Disc Brake Pad Replacement

    Awesome! I will keep these merits next to my Schrute bucks. 😄 I'm pleased with the performance of the front brake. No more squealing. Very good/solid grab. The rear? Not So much. Lever action is solid. I think I simply need new pads. I do enjoy the maintenance aspect of riding. Provides an...

    Zen Photon Pro - Disc Brake Pad Replacement

    Today was brake pad/disc refurbishment day. Pretty straight forward with the exception of centering the rear caliper. Probably because I don't possess a long handle Allen fit. Pads looked really corroded. They cleaned up well with some 220 and brake cleaner. I did front and rear. No...

    Zen Photon Pro - Disc Brake Pad Replacement

    Quick update. Bought a bleed kit from Amazon. Rigged a method to hang my bike from a ladder (rear) and 1 inch webbing (front) from the rafter in the garage. Did the bleed. Lots of small bubbles. I did not do anything to the brake pads. Didn't even take the wheels off the bike. Just a lever...

    Let's talk Zen Photon Pro display settings...

    I would think it would be able to go a bit faster at that type of cadence as well. I have no idea what you mean by 1.9 overdrive and/or hub adjustment. Do you mean the Enviolo itself?

    Gazelle Ultimate C380+ or Ride1Up Prodigy V2 CVT (belt)?

    I looked at both of those bikes because of the mid-drive motor and carbon drive belt. Went with the Zen Photon Pro. Some great write-ups in the Zen forum on this site about the motor, battery (UL certified) with 1040 watt hours.
