And yeah, I'm increasingly burning with curiosity to know, who produced the "custom" 60V@30A UART Ultra controllers for Frey, & who produces the stock UART & CANBus Ultra controllers for Bafang?!? From what I've seen so far, it really doesn't add up as in-house work, unless one branch of Bafang...

Aye, which won't fit inside the case... I wonder whether whatever 60V@30A controller Frey uses on the Beast, fits inside the case either!? (They do, & it does! Beast's is a stock board with (original design spec) 100 V capacitors, swapped in?) Well no, I'm assuming Bafang would want their most...

I want to know what Voltage range it can handle... 54 too low? 72 too high? With aftermarket controllers, Bafang's m620 motor, reputedly handles 70 Volts quite happily? With slightly more Newton-meters of torque per Watt, & less heat buildup per Watt, than at 48 Volts, 60 Volts sounds reeeeally...

Regarding the BESST tool: Where does Bafang get their controllers? (ASI?) Extreme cynicism incoming! I have seen no evidence to date that Bafang has a clue about the controllers in their motors: Their "default config" is essentially not configured (dangerously so!), & some of the controller...

Well, touchscreen & app support, are largely independent of the motor+controller itself: The display & controls use a predefined set of signals for all of the controller's supported functions. Theoretically any device capable of sending a few very basic signals, can command such a motor...

What's the MSRP? ;)

Which should be prime candidates for a controller swap... 🤔 Dangit, for the third time today I wonder exactly what controller is in the Beast, anyway?!? (Edit: Am I to suppose that's probably CAN-Bus too? Maybe I should be cultivating contact with someone at PA-Transformers or ASI?)

I mean, yeah they should at least ride something they're reviewing! I am super tired of people posting raw ride footage with no analysis though. A few shots to show they did a thing, & then a detailed discussion of how two similar ebikes handled that thing differently, would be more than I...

Very good point. Speaking of which, if any reputable reviewers around Denver haven't gotten to ride a Frey AM1000 v5 yet, feel free to contact me.

If you're still taking requests for reviews, I'd love to see one on the new Frey AM1000 v6. Especially comparing it to the AM1000 v5, the QuietKat Jeep, the Bakcou Storm, & other bikes sharing some similar elements. Basically an m620 roundup, please!

I see what you did there. Funny!

With 60V & a 1.4KWh battery, on a custom controller, I'm not sure I'd want to swap in an Archon? Anyone know anything about this controller Frey's using? Sounds like it isn't just a re-capped stock m620 controller, but actually a whole different model?

Hahaha! Yeah I can understand that. I mostly meant that the Frey AM1000 is a good enough value to be worth mentioning right alongside the similarly priced Frey CC (which has a smaller battery than the AM1000). I'd be tempted to squeeze it into a spot on this list (never mind any list ranking...

Seen a somewhat similar looking ebike design, except on a monofork & single-sided swingarm, recently. I know I'm paranoid, but those always worry me!

If he mentions how you can configure the other AM1000 to also apply throttle when starting from 0 MPH & 0 cadence, that's something a lot of m620 owners have struggled with. Ours came from Frey with throttle from 0 working fine; yet some others received bikes configured like your other AM1000...

Sweet! Thanks for the status update: Info about the long term service experience is a very important factor when choosing who to deal with! Please let us know how many miles/km you put on it next year?

You really had me until after the break, there. 😂👍

Sorry to necro this 6 month old thread, but did you ever get your AM1000 rolling again? A fellow AM1000 rider wants to know!

The Ultra \ g510 \ m620 is the largest mid-drive motor available on prebuilt ebikes: ~1000W nominal, 1440W peak, as shipped by Frey. Bafang also makes an m600 which is like the cute little bro. Both have pretty good torque sensing, IF it gets set up properly! (Neither Bafang nor most...

Tan sidewalls are thinner, due to lacking that extra layer of black rubber over their weave, & thus slightly more susceptible to puncture or tear, as well as somewhat less resistive when rolling. Black sidewalls have that extra tiny coating of rubber, for whatever durability that's worth...
