    PEEK Gear for the Ultra Needed

    Maybe but it won't be on a CNC lathe, I currently live near Wing 5 of Prachuap Khiri Khan airforce base in Southern Thailand for a few months a year, the rest of the year I spend at home in the Chiang Rai province of Northern Thailand. I would need to do some shopping to do prototyping here 😆......

    PEEK Gear for the Ultra Needed

    I want to keep the material source confidential at the moment, they stock the required compound in the sizes you mentioned so delivery of rod material can be quick. I am waiting for the prices. They can also do steel cores with PEEK gear rings but this requires the steel core to be bonded to...

    What's the status of the peek sourcing now? If needed I can use my contacts to get sample peek rod material but need to know the diameter needed.

    PEEK Gear for the Ultra Needed

    Can someone please post pictures of the required gear? In the oil and gas industry PEEK is widely used as seat material so it's readily available as rod material.

    My WW Custom Design / Build Diary

    Love the design of this "cargo max", have 3 suggestions; 1) consider adding a bolt on front cargo rack allowing for a more balanced cargo load and also consider the rear rack as bolt on instead of weld on. Bolt on allows more flexibility. 2) consider designing in a center stand for easy loading...

    Frey CC not working with Inotrace Archon X1 controller upgrade

    Two other things; -Only the EX has a double battery option, the CC never had it, so no diodes. -60V requires a special controller, even the Innotrace one cannot handle 60V. Bafang supplies these to Frey on special order.

    Frey CC not working with Inotrace Archon X1 controller upgrade

    In my opinion it's the Innotrace controlled motor that is causing issues? So why not ask the supplier of that motor to solve the issue? If you take the stock engine out of a Harley and replace it with an S&S, is Harley responsible for any engine issues? No, they will claim you have voided your...

    Frey CC

    No, it will not look like a little kids bike as it looks large and sturdy. My wife has a CC which I can ride and I am 1.92m. You may need to play around with the setup a bit to find the optimal position for you.

    Frey CC

    Hi Rick, it's very unfortunate that your bike is delayed. Due to Covid cases in Shanghai the province is more or less in lockdown, I heard yesterday that thousands of trucks cannot enter Shanghai port and are stuck on the roads leading into the port. On top of that there is a huge shortage of...

    Frey's new 2021 model

    No, it's a totally different battery design that uses much wider box. It is possible to build a 52v HT battery though.

    Frey's new 2021 model

    Confirmed, it is a mullet. Standard battery is a 52V 28Ah. Option is a 60V 24.5Ah battery but it requires a modified Bafang motor.
