    Introducing the Frey CC Fat

    I'm about 175 lbs, and I was in ECO PAS 5 for pretty much the entire time. I will have to double check the UART vs CANBUS. Pretty sure it is the round connector associated with UART though.

    Introducing the Frey CC Fat

    As I said above, I upgraded to the 11 speed transmission (as opposed to the standard 9 speed). I'm not sure if the extra two gears are on the shorter side or the taller side, but I'm glad I got them. I like to be able to go up really steep inclines, so if I can get a shorter gear, then hopefully...

    Introducing the Frey CC Fat

    Took out the bike for a 45 mile ride yesterday. I pretty much kept it in Eco Mode Level 5 the whole time. Started with a full charge, and by the time I had ridden 26 miles, it was down to 9%. I had to find a plug in a park and recharge. I did not use the throttle at all, but in fairness, the...

    Introducing the Frey CC Fat

    Received my bike today--cool looking bike. It is a beast! I'm not a bike builder, but assembly seemed pretty straight forward. Took it for a test drive, and went pretty easy with it, since I did not want to stress test my novice bike assembly skills too heavily yet. But it seemed to handle my...

    Introducing the Frey CC Fat

    I got a notice yesterday saying, "Your order is in the production process, bike frames have been assembled and adjusted." So presumably, production is moving along. I was also able to upgrade the transmission from the standard SRAM X5 to SRAM NX 11S. Probably don't really need the extra gears...

    Introducing the Frey CC Fat

    From anyone that has ordered from Frey, are there any upgrades add-ons that you would recommend beyond what they ostensibly offer? I ordered the rear rack, front/rear lights, mud guards, and dropper seat post. It comes with the Shimano Alivio 9s transmission, and I tried to upgrade that to Deore...

    Introducing the Frey CC Fat

    I ended up reserving one of these. I had narrowed down my choices to a Frey AM1000 V6 or EX, or maybe even the Watt Wagons Hydra Black. Even though I'm not an experienced mountain biker, I wanted to get out on some of the great mountain biking trails near my home. But if I'm being honest, I'll...

    2022 - Top 12 Bafang Ultra M620 Ebikes

    Fair enough--and I was partly joking. It was just starting to feel like I have to take a computer programming class as a prerequisite to ride a bike! But I understand and appreciate the points made. @Neeko DeVinchi No apologies needed--appreciate the insights. What would you estimate the...

    2022 - Top 12 Bafang Ultra M620 Ebikes

    @Neeko DeVinchi Ha.. Hmm.. Perhaps you are pulling my leg, but to be clear, I did not intend to ask any questions about CANBus or UART, and only mentioned the terms in passing to highlight how little interest I have in getting into that level of tinkering (at least at this stage). Rather, I'm...

    Compare ex and am1000

    I was also interested in this comparison, and think it might be a little more complex with the release of the AM1000 V6. It seems like the added features of the V6 to consider are: 1. Larger Built-in battery 1008WH; 2. 29/27.5" wheelset It seems like you still get more battery (672WH * 2 /...

    2022 - Top 12 Bafang Ultra M620 Ebikes

    I've been interested in a Frey bike for a few years now. I'm curious with the recent update to the AM1000, how would people compare the AM1000-V6 to the EX Pro? The EX Pro is only $400 more, so they are fairly comparable in price. Why would someone consider one versus the other? I'm interested...
