$0.02 American 🙃

You're better off sticking with manufacturer recommendations. They often take into consideration things such as plastics that may be affected. On the Bafangs motors many use Mobil SCH100.. a high quality NLGI 2 synthetic grease suitable for electric motors as there is no manufacturer...

That's hysterical No where near the correct viscosity/properties to lubricate gears

Ok... That's one post in the past year. Here's a funny excerpt "They say the true test of character isn’t how you act on your best days—but how you show up on your hardest ones. We are grateful to each and every customer of Zen and our team will come back stronger in 2026 to support you. -...

Yeah it's all a bit sad. Seems that Canadian eBike sellers with Indian owners (Zen, Biktrix and WattWagon) all suffer from the same over promising and under delivering. Me personally am in a bit of a different situation in that my bike was a one_off prototype with all off the shelf easily...

ahhh got you. It's the sensor mount. I was thinking wire management...

I concur. I'd even use some spiral wrap to bundle it with the shift cable and tuck it under and behind the chainstay

Just put a matching dimple on the inside of the chain stay with a lump hammer

Supposedly the N. America support from dealers is still in operation. Have you tried contacting them or Stromer directly for assistance?

When you do a lever bleed to remove trapped air you need to remove the screw from the lever completely, install a funnel in the port and fill it half way with fluid. *Do NOT loosen the screw on the caliper.* Try to position all in as much as possible straight line and vertically. As you squeeze...

The Meanwell is a nice unit. @m@Robertson swore by them. I have a 5A bench top unit but I'm not fond of using it for charging unless I'm troubleshooting. Settings can drift and need to be checked occasionally and that defeats having things automated. My DIY unit allows me to use any dumb...

No worries... It's getting harder for me to work on things as well. Carpal Tunnel, Arthritis and Trigger Finger are humbling me more every day. I just hear too many of these stories and at the end of the day none of this is rocket science. My DTC Zen bike came with so many assembly errors I...

This is why people should know "how to" with most of what they buy. I've never opted to have anything assembled for me. Whether it a bicycle, BBQ grill to furniture... etc. But I'm old school where knowing how something works and how to use tools was considered an asset. ymmv

That's my go to for most everything, especially electrical. 80% gives you a nice headroom cushion and adds a lot of reliability. As far as tire pressure I always start in the middle of the min/max rating... and then feel it out. I typically end up very close to where I started.

And sometimes you get what you deserve.

I'm not familiar with that bike... but if you can get an accurate voltage reading on the display that's the best way to monitor. It becomes second nature after a few rides to interpret.

That's upright and comfy... But definitely not Dutch style.

I just Google and posted the first chart that popped up. But yeah... Fat tires are not on manufacturer radar much.... but the point was to show that granular means down to the mm

Well I guess that can be arbitrary... But the ones I've seen/used were down to the mm.

That only works if the controller has that granular of a tire size input. I don't think that's the situation here.
