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

    Even though I ordered the upgraded tire, I am assuming that they don’t come slimed. From a long ride perspective I am a slime fan. I know you can find presta to schrader adapters but sliming and maintaining prestas can be a pain.

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

    What type of tube (or tubeless?) is included with the bike? I am assuming that it might be a presta valve type. Is it possible to get schrader tubes?

    Not that I am a conspiracy theorist, but I do know that the government can get access to your account on the cloud. 😎

    How much will the loT add to the cost of the bike? which bike is best for someone around 175cm tall?

    Do all of the Photon Ultras come with the front basket? My wife had a RAD bike for a while but it was too big for her. One thing that was nice about the bike is that you could buy a water bottle holder that used the same screw pattern as the basket. The water bottles were on each side just...

    I usually ride with my wife who‘s cadence typically is about 75. This is just about perfect for R11 which puts me just under 16 mph. I will post actual speeds after I have the bike and have it out on the road. Oh, is anyone monitoring their heart rate while riding? I used to run and ride my...

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

    I had totally forgotten about gear inches and focused on a comparison of cadences required to attain 16mph. That is the speed we typically try to maintain on trips longer than 20 miles (over relatively flat or gently rolling hills). I was very pleased to find that the Ultra was very comparable...

    The data for each gear is on the Rohloff website. I only used 11-14.

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

    Ravi, Using your numbers, I wanted to get an idea of the cadence needed to go about 16mph in various gears. Thanks, the gearing is very similar to the bikes we have been riding. I did not factor in any pedal assist from the motors and am very happy with my findings. Oh, is a 20 tooth cog...

    E Bike Heart Rate Monitor

    Your typical ebike console has almost all the information that a bike computer provides, however one item I really like is an easy to read and monitor heart rate display. I typically used to ride my bike to maintain a particular heart rate level based upon what my goals for that day are and...

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

    Thanks Ravi! This answers my questions on the Rohloff hub! Do you have any information on the gearing of the belt drive? I am not sure what the equivalent to sprockets are on a belt..cogs? What is at the motor vs at the hub?

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

    Yes I have. I missed a call from them last night. I posted this here as I know that they often read and reply to this forum. I also read on the Rohloff website that there are various versions of the hub, some of which can take about 120 Nm and others that can take up to 220 something. If the...

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

    First, thanks for the great reference on how to tune the m620! I ask because the new Ultras offer either a Road or Off Road version and other than 750w vs 1000w, and the accompanying change in torque, there is little data on what else changes. I did order the Ultra in the Road version, but...
