Naw, it's not "tuned" from Bafang at all. The torque sensor cannot ever read below ~700mV, but the detection starts at 0mV by default. That's literally tossing the first 1/4 of the torque sensor's range in the garbage, & detecting any pedal movement as ~12 "Kg" of pedal force. Additionally...

!?! Hmmmm... The throttle? Works from dead stop on mine. There is no such setting in the Bafang Config Tool / Frey Config Tool. If you mean pedal assist from dead stop, that won't happen either unless you trick the speed sensor: The pedals must go around before pedal assist will kick in...

Possibly? Does the display connect with a round connector near the handlebars, or is it a "house shaped" / "squarish D shaped" connector? The UART controllers have been using round plugs; the CANBus controllers seem to all have squarish plugs.

Agreed. It would be great if the new CANBus signalled controllers reached the same (or greater) level of programmability as the UART controllers. People buying motors direct from Bafang have already reported getting these CANBus motors; while the Frey AM1000 we just received still has a UART...

I don't think the EX is heavier, actually? (Also, we ordered the AM1000 with a rear-rack even though it mounts to the rear triangle. Unfortunately, I am excessively tall & weigh a lot, with a lot of crank force at some times & very little at others. It's unlikely my settings would be ideal for...

Answers to COM3@9600 baud, anyway... As to UART vs CANBus, it has the "UART type" round connectors, not the "new type" D-shaped/house-shaped connectors, so... I guess, yes it appears to be using UART communication. I've seen posts stating that Bafang's new CANBus-only motor controllers use the...

A balance charger monitors each cell in a battery, charging them individually. Not all batteries are pre-wired for one, & I don't know what I might need, to balance these. (If I were going to open them up, I'd make a 53V or 60V pack!) Balance charging is best practice in the long run though, so...

The AM1000 arrived today! Box was not scarred much at all (damage\loss in shipping was one of my worries). Everything inside was wrapped & packed very well, including our second battery. No instructions whatsoever except for the Magura brakes! Need a shock pump & a balance charger, to make...

I suspect our bikes were on the same ship! (I noted that the shipping label on the way to port, listed 3 bikes not 1.) FedEx logged the package 2021-10-08 (Fri) 4:29pm, & estimated an expected delivery date of 2021-10-13 (Wed), now listed as "Potentially Early" 2021-10-11 (Mon)! Not bad for...

Well, your shipment time estimate is beginning to look better than mine again: 021-09-01 10:45 It is expected to arrive at the port on September 21, 2021 2021-09-01 10:44 Hong Kong, Departured 2021-08-27 16:32 Hong Kong, The ship will depart on August 31, 2021 and is expected to arrive at the...

This "Mind Reader" feels like now you're just trolling. Are you trying to draw me into saying Frey makes good frames? Because I don't know that, & until we see how many break out of the next thousand, I don't think anyone really does, especially if that person's research stops at "china =...

Oh ship! A cargo vessel carrying the AM1000 I ordered, is scheduled to depart tomorrow; expected to arrive at a port in California by the 12th. (Shorter travel time, or just two estimates for the same trip???) The ebike was originally scheduled to ship by Oct 16th, so I'm feeling pretty good...

Agreed with brake034 here: you seem to be posting this picture all over the place, it isn't even your pic or your bike, & you don't link to the post of the person whose bike it is, nor their later post mentioning that Frey followed up with them. Bike frames from any manufacturer have a...

The Rambo trailer has a crazy high center-of-gravity (loads sit wayyyy above the axle!) ... and it mounts to the tail end of the rear rack, which is both idiotic structurally & dangerous with regard to handling. I definitely would not recommend that for any bike. Bakcou sells two trailers...

How did you find out about the boat getting delayed? I have an AM1000 that went to shipping Wed the 18th, & am anxiously awaiting its arrival. No idea if it's even gotten out to sea yet.

Who's that by? Doesn't have the flying buttress beneath the rear of the top tube, the way their newest AM1000s do; but I believe that's only present on their L & XL frames. That rear triangle sure looks like the one Frey uses! (Without cutting it open I don't know how we'd determine which...

You're quite right! Now I have no idea whose ebikes I was looking at... & come to think of it, they were complete ebikes, not frames. I just had a look through my history & it's so full of ebike stuff I have no idea where to look except that I thought it was on Alibaba. 😡 I would like to...

Dengfu, I believe? Most of the ebikes that look very similar to Frey's, appear to use a frame that looks identical to that sold by Dengfu... but: The full-suspension frames Frey uses have an extra vertical support connecting the lower & upper sections behind the dual pivot (bikes with no H or...

Incidentally, I got an email this week that the Frey AM1000 we ordered has been assembled, tested, & sent to packing! I had never placed an order via Alibaba before, so Ivy & Cecilia's patience & help in getting this far, has been very much appreciated! Frankly I can't wait to lay hands on this...

How much effort did you put into tuning the settings on the OEM Bafang controller? I've read over & over that the default settings are essentially a one-size-fits-most config and... less than ideal. Plus each bike+rider layout is going to demand different torque response anyway... From what...
