Sweet. I just got the same notification so we might be in same container...except I'm in Seattle and you're in Georgia, so tack on another 3 weeks. Kidding!

I ordered an HT1000 back in September, which is the "skinny" tire version of the Hunter. Right at 120 days I got a text that said that they were out of stock on the Shimano m8000 drivetrain that I'd spec'd and that they might not get resupply until after Chinese New Year. They offered SRAM NX...

The Exess is kinda gorgeous.

I can confirm that a 50% was what I paid to start an order.

Actually, Bafang has a reputation for being a very robust and well built motor. Regarding their Ultra controller, people who have ridden both the Bafang and higher end motors such as the Bosch or Shimano feel that the Bafang controller is less refined. I've ridden a bunch of the "euro-spec"...

At the time of ordering, they will accept a 50 percent deposit. I haven't figured this out yet, but I think they want the rest of the payment before they start building on your frame. I went with the HT1000 because I plan to use it mostly on the road and gravel trails and wanted to shave some...

That's great! It'd be interesting to know how many bikes they produce in a month. I put in an order for an HT1000 about 2 weeks ago.

Awesome!

No doubt. Problem is that there aren't any other makers that can touch the build spec and motor for the price.

I had Cecelia prep a quote for me too for a medium HT1000. She essentially said the same thing that their frame builder is pretty loaded up and that they wouldn't receive frames for build out until October, making ship sometime in November, and receipt into December. Big sigh. I figured that...

Sounds like the better way to go. Thx!

Hmmm. That is interesting. I'm curious if you guys built your order through Alibaba or through Frey's sales contact on their website. I've been trying to get to a final build spec ironed out for about 3 weeks now, trading emails every couple of days. Super slow process, especially with the...

Just found this video by Micah Toll who explains the difference in build and output between 48V & 52V batteries. Thanks Micah! It appears that you get a bump in power which translates to a bit more speed, along with a bump in range. I think I'll stick with the higher Amp-hour 48V to...

I asked Frey about programming and they discouraged/declined to send programming cable: "Because through the changed motor, there is no after-sales service. Our appearance will be set to non-zero start.". I wasn't sure if that meant that you can't access/service the motor, or if there isn't...

Thanks for the insight Stevieman. Are you riding a Frey?

Hi Folks, I'm about ready to place an order for an HT1000. I've seen a lot of posts by people who've upgraded from Frey's standard 48V 21Ah to 50V 17Ah batteries. Straight calculations would give the nod to the 48V 21 Ah battery which would yield 1008 W*hr capacity vs. 884 W*hr for the 52V...

Great. Thanks Tom. Gives greater confidence that the CC or HT is the way to go for me. Glad that you're getting it ironed out!

Wow. That's great news. What kind of distance do you ride on your dailies? My wife has a specialized that nets 50+ on rail trails that I hope to match.

Hey Tom I was curious to see if you had ironed out torque sensing on your CC. Is upsizing the chainring and downsizing max cassette sprocket size the best way to minimize clown pedaling at higher cruising speeds? Did Frey have any recommendations about your motor noise? Hope all is well for you.

Thanks Tom for the insights. I really like the aggressive look of the X1, but will probably lean towards the SUV character of the CC or HT for fast commuting & in-town tasks. Great comparison.
