    My Bafang Ultra Mountain Bike! Frey AM1000

    In order to make my bike useable by my daughter, I acquired a smaller frame. It consists of the main frame, swing arm, and links. Nothing else so it is not prewired, I will essentially transfer everything from an existing bike over to the smaller frame. Am I in for a nightmare or is it...

    Carbon Fiber e bike with Bafang M 600 mid installed with throttle

    OK, I have a new Bafang Ultra powered bike, looks as if it was made by Kaiyi in China. Looks a lot like a Frey, etc. The frame is too big for me to use while wearing police uniform (BDU) pants. The standover height is just a little too tall. I can probably get by but if there was an easy option...

    Need to lower standover height

    The seat post had an inch and 1/2 cut off the bottom so it sits lower. When you are wearing 15 lbs of stuff on your belt in loose fitting BDU pants your crotch is much lower than when riding normally. The lowered seat helped a little and I still get leg extension. The issue is standover...

    Need to lower standover height

    I have the Perry's Power Bike M1 Pro Mountain with the Bafang Ultra. All good. It has 27.5 wheels, etc. which is fine for me in casual pants, riding pants, etc. but for patrolling in my uniform BDU pants the top bar and the front of the seat sometimes makes contact or "catches" me. The crotch...

    NEWBIE QUESTIONS

    I searched and got either no specific answers or several so I apologize for going over possibly covered ground. I just received my first eMTB this week. It's a Perry's Power Bikes M1 Pro Mountain with the Bafang Ultra motor and has a throttle. It looks like it was made by Kaiyi in China. My...

    My Bafang Ultra Mountain Bike! Frey AM1000

    I have a lightweight rack on my Cannondale Uber V seat post. Is there a reason you don't like them? Is it an engineering / stress issue or ??? I have a regular seat post on my bike. Just curious. Your idea for one that uses the tube is interesting.

    Fantic FX1 Battery Fried

    A friend has a very expensive Fantic FX1 eMTB. This bike uses a magnet to help secure the battery to the downtube and it picked up a washer. When he went to reinstall the battery, not knowing a washer was in the battery tray, he fried the battery. 1. Just a heads up to be sure your battery tray...

    Bafang Ultra Mid Drive Full Suspension bikes

    I don't know the size. I told him my height and inseam and advised him that the regs say I must be able to straddle the bike without tilting it with feet spread at shoulder's width. He said it would fit. Normally I would be a Medium frame or maybe a small with 29's, etc. I suspect I will...

    Ooops. Were YOU looking at that one? :shock: Sorry if I got a bike you were thinking about but Perry told me more are on the way.

    Bafang Ultra Mid Drive Full Suspension bikes

    I just bought one, shipping out tomorrow. FIrst, you may have read my posts in the Frey AM1000 thread. I was in the midst of ordering but someone hacked Ivy's (the rep) email and intercepted it, then sent me a fake wire transfer invoice by pretending to be Ivy. Thankfully Ivy, herself, caught...

    My Bafang Ultra Mountain Bike! Frey AM1000

    If you've been following my posts I was negotiating a purchase with Ivy and we had agreed upon a configuration and price. I get instructions to wire the money for my bike. OK, went to my bank and they conducted the transfer of over $3,000.00. I sent Ivy a copy of the bank's transaction...

    My Bafang Ultra Mountain Bike! Frey AM1000

    My AM1000 is coming with "tubeless ready" tires. I have tubeless on my regular MTB and like them but are they recommended for eMTB's? For my eMTB I am leaning more towards reliability than performance, this bike will be more for cruising dirt trails, etc. than technical riding. I just want to...

    My Bafang Ultra Mountain Bike! Frey AM1000

    I took the SRAM EX1 option off as it put me over budget at almost $500.00 more. They are charging $25.00 for the gear sensor which I am keeping. I am not 100% sure how the gear sensor helps (my first e-bike) but I can afford the upcharge. I was hoping it was free due to this posting from Frey...

    My Bafang Ultra Mountain Bike! Frey AM1000

    The upgrade to the SRAM Ex 1 groupset was more than I could afford, $458.00 US so I will have to drop that option. :( Otherwise, finishing up the ordering process tonight.

    My Bafang Ultra Mountain Bike! Frey AM1000

    I'm in mid negotiations with Ivy re. a Frey AM1000. Trying to work in some upgrades (SRAM Ex 1 groupset, gear sensor, larger battery, forks, etc.) and color choice. With luck, I'll place the final order this week. My question is how hard was it to assemble? I have never put together a bicycle...
