Let's talk about the NEW Photon Pro | UL Certified 1040Wh battery | 750W 52V Midmotor | 160 Nm Torque and Throttle

Give me a Schwalbe tire with the built in barrier any day.

I took a leap of faith, and I'm trusting my Schwalbe 27.5" X 2.8" Super Moto-X tires and ½ a quart of Flat-out on my new e-bike.
No liners or inserts.

The tires are Ebike rated as well.
They've got over 3500 km on them now with no flats.
I ride through broken glass and nails when I'm close to home to test them.

I’m sure I’m not the only one. I like a right half twist throttle. The left side thumb throttle is a problem when I signal my turn, at stop sign, then accelerate. I can’t do both at the same time. I like to signal as I enter the intersection and make eye contact with other drivers. Is the throttle plug your typical yellow Julet connector?

We have Enviolo twist shifter on the right side.
Yes, the throttle plus is Yellow Julet connector.

Is it possible to swap the throttle and shifter?

Is an Enviolo twist shifter available for the left hand side?

My old e-bike was made for the European market. When they shipped it to Canada they swapped the shifter and throttle so now my shifter is upside-down on the left side and rotates backwards.
(That's a 2 not a 5. It doesn't bother me. I just got used to it.)
