I also had issues with cable tension on a similar bike, Z1 Luna. I finally tracked it down to the fact that the cable housing length and the few bends it has to reach the derailleur creates friction that makes it hard to dial in. This especially showed up in the middle of the cassette where...

Nice Ravi. While it is easy to see that ZEN is focusing on the commuter/touring market I am a bit jealous of that motor and wish I had one in a 150mm travel aluminum frame MTB....a good competitor to the Bafang M600/500 series motors making their way on to some EU manufacturer bikes? Fully...

I doubt there were any wires directly connected to the battery as internal battery type bikes use some sort of pin adapter for the connection. More likely when the battery fell out it went in front of the rear tire. At least it didn't ruin his day! The "battery explodes" in the title was click bait.

I have your second option and have used it several times. A bit heavy and carry it in my backpack. No complaints here.

Thought I answered this yesterday but you can source 24v Lithium batteries made for tools from Kobalt and Flex and perhaps others. Using a product like this should make the retrofit easy...

Fun begins at 5:42. Bad assembly perhaps? Something wasn't locked in right.

There are a couple of old growth grove holdouts by my place. The one with all the green on it was huge at the base and then branched off into two. Unfortunately the green vine will eventually kill that tree.

Good for him, bad for eBiking.....

While not showing fenders currently my drop bar bike has the capacity for them as well as a rear rack I just don't need those accessories. However it does meet your other criteria with a 780wh battery, two H2O Kingcages and a high gear ratio due to the 2spd internal bb gear that has the...

My g road bike's cockpit. L-R: Brifter adapted to operate dropper seat post, regen button, watt output selector (up to 1000w in 250w increments), bell, throttle and rear gear brifter. CA3 mounted to custom headset spacer plate.

It really isn't any different than riding any bike with gears, e or non. All good suggestions above.

Beach bike riding tips. Get a tide book, go at a lowering tide, ride the hard brown sand and run what you brung. I have logged miles of beach on 45c tires. My Friends niece was the Valedictorian of her graduation class this year and she used ChatGBT to write her speech and it was well received...

"making these sweeping assumptions and presenting them as obvious facts," Caveat Emptor and ignore......works for me at least.

You can also lace the 150mm version into a 35mm wide rim and still use the 2.5-3.0 size tires if fat tires aren't your thing. Maybe just replace the motor that has issues on the bike you have with the former? Much cheaper than a new bike.

None, try the ignore feature? While it is all of our prerogative to have views on the world of ebikes, some are not in line with our personal views and disputing them on forums like this usually lead nowhere. To those that follow the BS spread around here Caveat Emptor. As far as "gravel bike"...

I have been using a front hub drop bar bike for 6yrs now as an all road ride. 700c wheels with 45c tires so it can't be expected to get too rowdy but I have been surprised at some of the places I have gone on them, I've built 3 now, from beach riding to 9,000' Rocky Mtn. mining roads and a lot...

While my son fished, I took a ride on the trail along the river here in Sequim, WA. Olympic National Park. A nice day was had by both.

I was in an ice storm in Portland in the early 80's and it was a mess! It does seem that the weather has mellowed here over the years. This year as an El Nino is predicted to be mild with not alot of moisture. The waxing moon here tonight was hard to capture but for the end of October I would...

As PatriciaK said the ignore feature is about the best way to exist on this forum anymore. Mine is pretty lengthy and I'm sure I'm on a few as well which bothers me not a bit. If you see a place where you think you can interject some knowledge then that is the time to do so. If others disagree...
