    battery pack manufacturer of Frey AM 1000

    I did indeed spend about 6 months comparing before seeking purchase approval, & as you may have noticed from my comments in those threads, I didn't find any others that satisfied (most notably by way of comparison, I wanted brakes I trust & good suspension). The Quietkat Jeep on that list has...

    battery pack manufacturer of Frey AM 1000

    I mean, I agree completely that the details of the battery are critical & should be disclosed. But Frey's prices are way below any other brands I've found... They're certainly not charging "Western" prices. If you're seeing any bikes with the same components priced within $1000 of Frey's $4K...

    battery pack manufacturer of Frey AM 1000

    YUP! This is exactly why I do not want the AM1000 v6: I detest lifting a large battery into its slot, & don't trust battery slots which insert from below. Every device I've ever had where the battery inserted into the bottom, has had battery retention or connection issues. From cameras to tools...

    battery pack manufacturer of Frey AM 1000

    I would much sooner buy a pack with a quality BMS from the likes of Zen or em3ev though, than deal with Bosch schenanigans & higher $-per-Wh than even premium battery builders charge. Agreed that the lack of transparency from Frey about their batteries is rather offensive & frankly unwise...

    2022 - Top 12 Bafang Ultra M620 Ebikes

    That Frefat ebike (Firefat? Odd kerning...) has a distinctly different frame than the E56 & E55. Rear shock layout just for starters. Looks great in orange though! Is that your new ride? It looks nice enough that I immediately went searching for details, but I didn't find anything...

    battery pack manufacturer of Frey AM 1000

    I would worry more about getting the most Wh that I could afford, than about the case becoming obsoleted. As tomjasz points out, the Reention Dorado case type is merely the enclosure & latch mechanism. Regardless of brand, they all have just two lengths & one latch type. No worry of the pack...

    The following teardowns refer to older packs, which have ostensibly been revised (not that I saw any clear statements about what changed): https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1391728#p1391728 https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1526140#p1526140...

    Looking to reducing the standard Bafang display size to a smaller footprint

    Neeko likes it. I was hoping to hear @Allroads opinion, too

    I don't know which Stevieman used, but I know Frey sells them.

    Based on the rotation rate shown in their videos & animations, last gear is way more than 1.25 wheel rotation per 1 sprocket rotation. In their default background image, it looks to be in a gear that's around 2:1 output:input...

    Bafang Ultra "Smooth" tune by Mike at Frey

    Start-from-zero also applies to pedal assist, not just throttle... but yeah, the speedo data is used for a lot more than just preventing accidental starts at 0. In the Torque tab (on adjustable, UART controllers) the speedo data is used to determine which of the pedal assist's...

    Well, bikes are also how I get around, so it's either go ride or go hungry! ;D

    Frey Beast 60V 1800W eMTB

    I have an inflatable dinosaur costume, which would be under serious consideration for conversion into an oxygen-enriched air-conditioned riding suit, if it had better sightlines. As it stands right now, those motorcycles which blast AC into the rider's air pocket behind their fairing, feel...

    The new AM1000 V6

    Are you able to tune the controller? & if so, what values are your settings at?

    Bafang Ultra "Smooth" tune by Mike at Frey

    Changing the number of magnets used for the speedo would not notably affect startup at all, once start from zero MPH is enabled... ? Even on bikes with start from zero inhibited, it could only help slightly (half circumference instead of full wheel)? My main reason for wanting a second...

    Reention Dorado 48V 25Ah 29Ah&36V 30Ah (505L) Replacement Battery for eBikes Surface 604,NCM,Rize,Magnum,Aventon

    Designed to resemble a gas tank... Shown on a top-tube; it would look really weird on a downtube... Personally, I'd gladly forgo motorcycle styling, to get the heaviest thing on the whole bike placed a little lower... To me, top-tube mounted battery packs mean the bike's designer chose...

    Frey Beast 60V 1800W eMTB

    That's a shame: The difference between the pedal assist feel (edit) on the AM1000 v5, first out of the box, & then after calibration, was basically like the difference between driving with an on/off switch for a throttle, & having an actual throttle. Any pedal force at all, read as ~12 Kg...

    Frey Beast 60V 1800W eMTB

    Presuming that your controller is set to derive it's limits from the Display unit, your Display's "Max Speed" setting, adjusts what speed at which motor assistance drops out. By default, that may be set lower than the legal limits where you ride. (If the Max Speed setting is unavailable, setting...

    Frey Beast 60V 1800W eMTB

    Have you tried adjusting the Slow Start, & which PAS mode the throttle uses? (Also, use 'Current' not 'Speed', as the Throttle mode: 'Speed' mode attempts to blast up to a selected speed then slacks off upon approach; 'Current' mode works like an actual throttle.) On the UART-programmable...

    So, it's the "another small 3-pin" connector. (Not clear from that page, but it's a mini-XLR...) Yup. XLR connectors do have a flat top. The 48V@21Ah Reention Dorado battery case on the Frey AM1000 v5 we got, uses this charging connector too. GreenBikeKit seems to have what you're looking...
