john61ct said:For us noobs, could you please state your conclusion?
Hardcore said:Any of these from the original Frey frame? Or how does it compare?
Hardcore said:True, good to know. And thanks for the quick reply. I had about 1000km on my original Frey wheelset, no bite-in at that point.
As an upgrade, I got a set of DT Swiss H 1900 (350 Euro at the time for the whole set), on which I have over 3000km at the moment and no bite-in. I can certainly recommend DT swiss products as a good upgrade.

WRT high torque (160 n.M !)
Does the Ultra get there at low rpm with the stock controller?
think heavy cargo / tandem, on long steep hills
What would a good 3-5K controller be for that besides Nucular 24, ideally true FOC type with motor-temp limiting and variable regen?
FlyingFinn said:Bontrager Hodag’s 27.5x3.8 (really 3.4” on 50mm rims). A great option for FAT1000 as a summer wheelset. I experienced unstableness of steering with a 3.0” wheelset. The tire was just too narrow for a massive hub spacing of 150mm in the front.
NoFanBoiz said:Waited two weeks for a reply to my purchase query to Frey, so I emailed them again.
Wanted to order an AM1000 to my local port but I have to assume they will only ship to major ports. I did mention my local port in my email, but they seemed to think that was my address. Language barriers I guess so I replied with details of city and state compared to the city they mentioned but again no reply. It's so hard to order it's ridiculous.
They need local dealers in various countries like Sur-Ron has.
Setup may end up with multiple motorsrobocam said:If you want to haul a heavy load, a Cyclone 3000 is much more powerful.

You're not going to regen using a mid drive. The wheel can't turn the motor. It has a freewheel in it.

NoFanBoiz said:My first email was sent to two of your email addresses - on your website you claim replies in 12 hours. I waited over 2 weeks for a reply to basic questions and only received a reply as I resent that one and got a response. I sent a second email in regard to your misunderstanding about shipping ports but have not received a response.
I guess business must be too busy to actually care enough to respond. I'm not about to send the second one again. Once bitten, twice shy as I take this lack of communication as an indicator of the level of service I could expect if there are product issues and your lack of timely responses means I will miss out on the special anyway.

Hello NoFanBoiz, please allow me to elaborate a bit more, I will divide the reply in 3 parts:
1) We introduced a new e-mail system under the frey.bike server, how do I know? I have an established frey.bike email address that I needed to get up and running again and I am pretty sure I missed a few emails too!
I am Marcel and help Ivy as a Frey brand ambassador on International Marketing.
As a disclaimer; I am not a Frey employee, everything I write is a personal opinion only!
2) As you are well aware Covid has disrupted our everyday life since early February and continues to do so till today!
Frey's supply lines have been effected and are still under a recovery process. Likewise our outward logistics system has been effected significantly too, again under the same recovery process.
So please, cut us some slack, these Covid times are not normal times, we all suffer and together we can overcome that suffering and we will come out together stronger.
3) You mentioned that you "assume they will only ship to major ports" and that you mentioned a "local port"?
Normally for the US we ship door to door, that means you will have your bike delivered at your doorstep and there is no need to pick it up in any port? If you want to further discuss by e-mail, please add me in the thread; marcel@frey.bike
If in the mean time, any of you are that are in need of face masks or any other protective equipment for you and your family, please let us know.
