Zen Photon Pro- Preorder | 1040Wh UL Certified battery | 500W nominal/900W peak power Torque-sensing motor w/ Throttle | USD 2999 | CAD 3999

I didn't see any mention of the Photon Ultra in the Photon lineup. Is it still available? If so, does it come with a kickstand and rear light?

Of course, The Photon Ultra is available, and this bike is mostly desired by people who have done sufficient research and are willing to pay a premium for the Rohloff hub. So, the Ultra is available in limited quantities.

It does come with a kickstand and integrated front and rear lights.
 
The bikes were identified in post #114.

Photon Pro, Photon Pure, Photon Mini and Photon Dog.
Thanks, but #114 was the post that prompted my question in the first place. Given how sloppily people read and write on internet forums, no reason to trust that the names and photos were in the same order without captions or an explicit statement to that effect.

Is there a Photon with mid drive and cassette gearing?
 
Nice-looking bikes — especially the white one! Please identify the models in the single-bike photos.
Hi Jeremy,
Here are the bike Photos with Model names.
Both Photon Pro and Photon Pure models are available in White, Grey and Lime green.
Photon Mini is available in Grey and Mallard blue.

How many watts is the Photon Dog?

My only question at this point is:

Where is the ship??? :cool:

Somewhere in the Atlantic ocean finding its way to Canada port. We are meticulously tracking the shipment. According to the latest update we have, the shipment arrives Canada port on 21st March, and it will take around 48 hrs for DG clearance and approximately 3 days for it to reach Halifax. Once it arrives, we'll kick production into high gear, aiming to ship the first bike by March 30th. Fingers crossed for a smooth customs and DG clearance process! We are really hoping there is no congestion on the ports when the bikes land.
A few Pure models arrived our facility this Wednesday.

Shouldn't the descriptor you've used to label the Photon Pro also ref 750W for the US Market? Currently it reads:

PHOTON PRO: Mid Drive 500W 52V motor, Enviolo Heavy duty, UL certified 1000+Wh 20Ah 52V battery

Minor nit, but to Jeremy's earlier point of proper labeling...
 
Is there a Photon with mid drive and cassette gearing?

There is no product in our lineup with mid drive, cassette and chain. We believe that mid drive paired with belt drive gives high performance and low maintenance.

Thanks Kriti, I was just curious. :)

Thanks! The Photon Pro is a real looker with impressive specs.

The original estimate for the vessel's arrival in Canada was the third week of March. However, there are many reports that terrorist attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea and Indian Ocean have caused congestion at other ports. So, we are now expecting the vessel to arrive in the fourth week of March.

Thanks for the update. I started riding a Wahoo direct drive trainer with a cheap used bike to get in shape for the Zen arrival. 250 miles in and 25 pounds lighter. Can't wait!!!
 
Some good news!
The container vessel arrives late at night tomorrow, and we are still working with shipping agency to plan the unloading and delivery to our location.
Also, we want to make sure they don't drop off the container during the holiday, and we can't risk losing a container to some thieves, so because of the impending Good Friday and Easter holidays, clearance and unloading may take a few days.

Now, actual photos of the IoT device that is offered as an upgrade.
There is provision to install this device and run the cables internally to the main controller.
