    Is it safe to freely use the throttle WHILE PEDALING on a mid drive?

    The cycling purists also wonder why you need a mid-drive motor e-bike in the first place too…... Some people want an e-bike, and some of those want it with a throttle too. Just my observation but those mid drive motors with better thermal capacity (read more powerful mid-drives) tend to have...

    Changed my mind about my Gear Shift Sensor today - Disconnected it.

    This suggests otherwise. That is the brake sensors connect via the EB BUS cable loom. My Frey Beast cuts power when I apply the brakes (Magura MT5e brakes).

    2023 - Our Rides in Words, Photos, Maps and Videos

    Long weekend on an island near where I live. I chose to hire an acoustic bike instead of an e-bike. Plenty of hills and wind in our winter giving the legs an workout. Only service vehicles allowed on the island with the only means of transport by foot, bike or scooter.

    Another Frey Savannah Ultra - CC owner

    Going by the Greenbikekit website you can purchase the Ultra with a choice of volts (48/52), protocols (canbus/uart) and displays which suggests you can use other displays.

    Bafang DPC 18. Not sure if other displays will read the voltage of the 60v battery of the Beast correctly. I have the 500c display on my other bike and I can switch from 3 to 9 levels of assist in the display settings.

    Frey Beast Added To The Garage

    Just done over 50klms on the Beast in the last week. As per the display settings the bike is limited to ”just” 60 klm/hr so I was keen to see what I had in i my legs with the stock 40T chainring. I have managed to hit just under 59 klms/hr on both attempts per the speedo on the display - though...

    There is no option to change the number of PAS levels on the display on the Beast. It only has 5 on eco and 5 on sport. Arguably thats 10 pas levels.

    So far, lots of fun with my Frey Beast.

    Interesting as I wouldn’t have thought it mattered, but must have something to do with the side of the road you ride on which is the opposite side to the land down under.

    So far, lots of fun with my Frey Beast.

    It appears your left hand brake lever activates your front brake, not your rear brake. Did you swap this over as this is different to mine? Also your stem has 3 spacers under it, whereas mine has five. Perhaps due to a frame size difference - mine is XL.

    No it’s not TR, not that it bothers me as I run tubes in all 6 of our bikes (3 acoustic and 3 electric)

    Thanks. Do you know how many teeth the lowest gear on your cassette is?

    Thanks Keith, I’ve been following your Frey CC journey in your thread 👍. Do you find the 46T chainring sufficient or would you go bigger?

    Frey Beast Added To The Garage

    Back in April I took delivery of my first e-bike. Loved the bike and set about doing some upgrades to make it my commuter bike and regularly ride to/from work. For Mothers Day my daughter and I bought the step through version for my wife to get her out riding with us. I then wanted to...

    'Zen Skunkworks' - a new model in the development

    Initially I was responding to an earlier post about the Bulls bike, but then it morphed into something more 🤦‍♂️. Agreed, I’ll post any further info in the Frey forum.

    Minus the flower basket 😎. Also Frey will paint your bike any colour you want if you are prepared to wait …..I’m sure there will be other standard colours too.

    Frey Bike Owners Group on Facebook. I think it is powered by a Bafang M560. Pre production pics.

    'Zen Skunkworks' - a new model in the development

    I haven’t ridden a Bosch CX powered bike, but I have your version of the Photon motor in my bike in the 48 volt version minus the throttle. I have impressed by the smoothness, torque and quietness of the motor. I have managed to eak out nearly 48 klm/h on my bike. I bought my wife the step...
