I've been running the Frey for just over 2 weeks. Whilst my first impression was "Damn it's heavy", I've got to say, I'm extremely impressed with is thus far.
It will comfortably travel at 25mph and give me approx 35 miles. Travelling any faster and the battery life plummets to mileage in the...
I'm really struggling to get the battery out of my Frey EX.
Turn the key, regardless of which way I turn the "dial" on the frame it fails to move.
Does anyone have any tips?
Cheers
My bateries are still showing on the UPS tracker as:

I'm happy to take a photograph of the bike on the scales if you like?
It's a Tanita BC-1000. Not very new but still reliable as far as weighing things. The other guy used a luggage scales
So, my EX has arrived. First impressions?
WOW IT'S HEAVY
I opted for size medium, the dropper post, front/ rear mudguards, front/ rear lights. RockShock Lyrik upgrade and the rack. This monster [without the battery] tops the scale at a monster 34.74KG or 76.b Lbs. There's no way my Mrs will be...

She also says "The delivery time for battery is about 15-20 days"

I've just asked Cecilia "Before I consent, when do I pay the taxes and what determines whether it is closer to $100 or $200?" She's adamant these will be the only taxes payable. I specifically mentioned "Dumping Tax"
My bike was due for delivery September 20th, i's a "fully loaded" ex with many upgrades.
I emailed Cecliia on Friday asking about progress.
I received this from Cecilia on Saturday
"Hi Keith,
I am writing to tell you that we found recently the railway shipping to European countries is not...
Alas, I'm East of Hamburg so just about as far away as we can get within the same country :| I've appreciated your help so far. You've been a huge help. Thank you
As I'm 177cm I think Medium should suit me just fine in that case
I've looked on both AliExpress and Alibaba for a "4a ebike charger" but the options available are staggering:
