    My Bafang Ultra Mountain Bike! Frey AM1000

    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...

    OK, so it seems the retaining screw for the "dial" was almost falling off. That's tightened and now, with a bit of a tug, it comes out

    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

    I'm not quite at the 3 week threshold of which you speak. That happens this Friday so it's fingers crossed I guess

    My bateries are still showing on the UPS tracker as: Label Created 19/09/2020 12:28 Hungary Order Processed: Ready for UPS Despite asking Cecilia for further information on 3 seperate instances, she's failed to provide an answer. In fact, she appears to be ignoring the question whilst...

    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

    If that was "with" batteries it would still be heavy but, alas, that's without them!!

    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...

    Whilst no experience of the frame, I have liaised with the manufacturers about buying one before deciding on the Frey I spoke to a chap called Jeff @ wanglin061220@163.com and asked him a number of questions. These are his answers "Thanks for you e mail . We are the OEM alloy frame factory...

    Cecilia is adamant "Cecilia Li: 2020-09-13 11:54 You will pay when you receive the goods, and the tax is about 100 to 200 dollars. Each region is different." She also says "The delivery time for battery is about 15-20 days" Looks like I'm pretty hamstrung. Pay the $$$ and get the bike in 15 to...

    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"

    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: 42v 4A ebike battery charger, 16.8v 4A charger, 12.6v 4A charger, 54.6v 4A charger, 50.4v 4A.... the list goes on and...

    Hi Hardcore, thanks for that. I've ordered M assuming I can use a longer seat post or stem if needed. I must say however, the whole bike ordering process is irksome at best!

    I know they're heavy but I hadn't realised they were necessarily "bigger"

    @hardcore, thank you for the reply. I've asked Cecilia Li at Frey about the rear suspension bearing kit. That seems like a great idea. You are correct about the rear suspension, it comes equipped with "ROCKSHOX DELUXE RL 205*65MM" I'm a little stuck on bike size too if I'm honest. I'm 5' 10"...
