    At the moment, we do not have that automatic electronic locking feature. We do have an optional IoT that can track the bike using a GPS module and that is something you can consider.

    Zen Photon review

    Thanks for reviewing the bike and sharing your thoughts on the bike and our support. We greatly appreciate it. The throttle response has been consciously kept at the 10-15A current range to encourage people to pedal more. There is another reason for it. Since this bike has a mid-drive paired...

    Zen Photon Ultra - limited version (Bafang Ultra, Rohloff Speed hub, Gates belt drive)

    Perhaps we can make use of some suggestions from @smorgasbord and @Gionnirocket to tune the motor to be as smooth as possible.

    Zen Photon Ultra - limited version (Bafang Ultra, Rohloff Speed hub, Gates belt drive)

    These are some images of the Ultra bike soon after assembly at our factory. you will notice the suspension forks are top of the line - Titan model from RST. These frames arrive in SKD condition and then go through the final QC/QA in Canada. These frames are expected to arrive in Canada towards...

    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...

    All, Photon frames were packed and loaded onto the container today. The vessel is expected to leave this week. We expect the frames to reach here in March. We will update you as we get information the shipment arrival and how soon we could get all this built up. The shipment would be follow the...

    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...

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

    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...

    The Photon Pro assembly is a multi-step process. At our factory in Asia: The frames are inspected manually and checked for paint quality, tolerance for the motor, battery fitment, and cable pass-through Brakes and suspension are installed Decals are applied, dried and the frames are loaded on...
