m@Robertson: Thanks for your info. You now have me rethinking all of this. I was pretty happy with my hardtail and BBSHD until my wife bought me a Zen Photon Ultra for my birthday. It has a Bafang M620 motor with a torque sensor and rides great until it is time to transport it to a different...

I think it might be a couple of things. First that the motor is over about six years old and is in its third bike frame. Second is that it gets ridden a lot on easy single track bike trails, many dirt and gravel roads and I dont have any real idea how many thousands of miles are on the motor...

Smile,,,😎

Actually rode it at zero because I wanted the exercise. I was pretty heavy and wanted to maintain a 15 mph speed, apparently a big mistake. I tend not to use the throttle except to cross a busy street, to mount the bike, or to restart on a climb. My only complaint about theBBSHD is the cadence...

I have a steel Salsa Fargo with a Bayfang BBSHD and a 52v battery that has been my everyday go to bike for the past sux years. I am told that I rode it way too much on level zero and that has caused me to replace bearings at least once. I have decided to move this setup to my wife’s bike...

Where do you purchase the slick honey? I live in a very remote area and Amazon is my main source of about everything.

Thanks, that helps a lot!

Nvreloader Thanks! The ramp does does look too short. Where do you store the longer ramp?

How did you set it up for 2 bikes?

“Nvreloader” I checked with Home Depot here in Idaho and that item is no longer available. I am thinking of this one. HYPERAX Volt Lift -Patented Lift Assisted RV Rated Hitch Mounted 2 E Bike Rack Carrier with RAMP Up to 2X 80lbs eBikes with Up to 5" Fat Tires for...

One of the problems I am having is bike weight. My Zen e bike weighs almost 80 lbs. i need a new heavy duty rack with a ramp or a new bike!

Does anyone have a manual or URL to user documents on the Photon Ultra Front Fork or the Zen suspension post?

That is a great idea! I have been using a piece of PVC with straps at each ebd to keep them apart.

I have the 1 up system for my e bikes. While they are easy to load with the additional purchase of the ramp, the bikes rub together if you are transporting them on the highway. I had several run marks through the paint down to bare metal. I asked the company if there are more rigid separators...

While I like having a throttle, I typically only use the throttle to cross a busy street or to restart on an uphill if I have to stop for some reason. Otherwise it is only pedal assist. But we have some pretty steep roads here and I could use a little more help now and then. I am thinking of...

I currently have a Salsa Fargo with the Bafang 1kw motor and a 52v battery. It rides ok except that the bearings dont seem to last more than a year of hard use. Ihave thought about going to the 750 watt motor but I really need the power. I understand that CYC makes an ebike kit that can go up...

I really haven’t tried using the throttle while pedaling on the photon yet. On the Bayfang kits they changed the controller a couple of years ago so you could either pedal or throttle but not both at the same time. Consequently I don’t use it much. Heck, I haven’t even tested my max speed on...

While the roads are typically pretty straight but hilly, the bike trails and fire roads we ride on might be called beginner to intermediate for a mountain bike. I prefer to be leaning forward a bit, not super aggressive but it allows me to take on tight curves a lot easier. Did you get the...

Went to a flat mountain bar and a bontrager 185 saddle, fixed the sit up problem! Yes the throttle works from zero Km. I use the throttle when I have to restart going up hill or to quickly accelerate across a road. Haven‘t tried riding with just the throttle.

55/19. It came with 55/22 but I was having trouble keeping up with the ebike group on the flats. The changed fixed that and didnt seem to effect my climbing other than changing gear selection. I guess what I might have to consider next season is one of type 3 mountain bikes or maybe something...
