Welcome aboard!I just ordered a new Zen photon ebike and expect it first of March . Am 66 years old and just retired. So excited to get riding
I will give my impression for sureWelcome and give us a review when you get some saddle time on it. The Zen Photon is on my short list if I start commuting to work again.
Welcome to the forum.
They do look identical except at the back wheel the photon is designed to come apart to install new beit. I bet they are manufactured at same factory. Was thinking of the level 2 , I bet they are an excellent bike. But I wanted mid drive with belt because I live in very hilly location and salt in winter would be hard on chainZen Photon looks almost exactly like my Aventon Level 2 (with better components) Would be surprised if the frames are not identical. Love my Level 2 except the brakes. Would be curious to know how much the Photon weighs?

2900 seems like a fair price considering the mid drive, suspension, gates belt and better brakes-and you get a throttle. I would buy one if I could sell my Level 2 or Sport or Gravelster or XP!!!They do look identical except at the back wheel the photon is designed to come apart to install new beit.
