    Photon Pro first ride impressions

    You like the Enviolo Heavy Duty CVT IGH so far? Are you moving the range shifting that much(or you generally keeping it at its highest level, even going up hills)? Look like, you added the Zen suspension seatpost.

    My review of the ZEM Samurai

    Generally eBike brands with same model, with the only difference the Bosch CX & Speed motor, the one with Speed motor is more expensive(not same price). To my knowledge Deacon Blues Cannondale Topstone gravel bike in the US is only sold with Bosch Speed motor. I have no interest in the...

    My review of the ZEM Samurai

    When you brought Zen Samurai with Bosch CX motor, was it the same price if you had decided to get the Bosch Speed motor(so no discount getting the CX motor)? When I test rode the Zen Samurai bike with Bosch Speed motor, I felt the top speed was 40km/hr(not 45km/hr) as was indicated by the...

    At your partner store in Halifax, EShop, it's listed for $2,999. That's where I was looking originally. After I posted first time, then I thought of checking your Zen website, where it's listed for $4,899.

    advice: best value ebike under $2K and less than 55 lbs

    To lower the eBike weight under 55 pounds before putting on a bike rack, take off the battery(if it's removeable). That could save you 5 to 10 pounds of weight.

    What's the tire upgrade(s) option? How much extra is the dual battery option? The upgrade brakes are the Hayes MT5 hydraulic brakes? With the options I want, I think I'm might be hitting $10K Canadian(I'm including taxes).

    Not in rush to buy from brand new e-bike companies. Also generally don't like to buy from version 1 of any particular e-bike model(if purchase I want to purchase version 2 & beyond with all the improvement, upgrades, fix any significant problems etc.). Even with $1,000(USD) discount on Samurai...

    Also interested in more info in the North American service & support for Zen e-bikes(you will about the only one, for direct-to-consumer e-bike brand offering service & support with across wide local support). Specifically for Canada, I'm thinking velofix is your main collaborator. I'm only...

    Same thing for Canadians trying to buy the Shakti, as it also goes to 28mph(need to sign the waiver)? In the states some states technically don't allow class 3 e-bikes(on roads, bike paths), the majority of those US customers still prefer 28mph bikes. I think the vast majority of Canadian...

    What's the Canadian prices for the Samurai(I only see the prices in USD)? Is the same Samurai bike offered to Canadians as offered to US-based residents(including the same Bosch 4Gen motor)?

    I don't think Ravi has revealed ever the motor for the Shakti model(he did indicate it was a customized version from a established motor manufacturer). Just as you, really really curious(a deciding factor on how much interest I have on it).

    Zen Samurai - Built in Canada - shipping since June 2022

    What's the Bosch motor for Zen Samurai? You list both here CX/Speed(no specifics on Zen website). I'm guessing Bosch Gen4 Performance Line Speed for US & CX for Canada. Is the CX with The Smart System? How much is the Bosch Nyon upgrade(from Kiox display)?
