Welcome to the forum from another Aussie 😎

The throttle isn‘t required when you purchase with the Photon Cat 😜

I have a couple of e-bikes, one being the Frey Beast, which is the next step up from the AM1000. I like power, so neither of my e-bike (or my wife’s) are under 100nm torque. Im in my mid 50s so riding tech trails etc are also not on my radar in the interest of self preservation, so not being on...

Australian distributed Earth e-bikes.

The sound of that motor is nothing like the Ananda motor in my e-bike, which is barely audible.

I don’t have the rubbing issue with the Wolf Tooth chainring, so I suspect the offset is slightly different? Is your chainring steel like stock or Ali?

I have my sag at circa 30% with the higher spec coil but am reluctant to use a ratchet strap to compress the suspension. Have to wait until a mate comes around.

I counted 124 links on the stock chain. Interestingly, found with the coil removed, the stock chain was slightly too short when measured on the largest sprocket. I used 130 links which is slightly too long by one link by my reckoning, but obviously you can only add or remove two chain links...

Great summary of Ananda motors and why you chose to use them. My wife and I have the Ananda motors (48V version) in our Australian distributed Earth e-bikes and can’t fault them.

I have Bafang Ultra and Ananda powered e-bikes. The Ananda is a cracker of a motor. Little is known about these motors as e-bike manufacturers usually rebrand them as their own. I did buy mine from my local bike shop since if I had any problems I could count on my warranty through my LBS. They...

They seem to have poor customer service reviews when I last looked at these. Hence I bought the Frey.

No, the Beast is not limited but the other Frey e-bikes are according to the dealer I bought it off. Need to sign a disclaimer to get the limiter lifted. So I bought the Beast and didn’t have to sign anything.

I was riding my Frey Beast around yesterday without assistance. Can’t say I noticed any drag from the Ultra motor. Went for a family ride and my wife’s sister was on an acoustic bike. Riding too slow for my liking so I switched off the assistance for some exercise.

Well done. That’s some pedalling!!

Thanks for the links. My Frey Beast runs a SRAM GX 12X drivetrain, so I might update to the X01 or XX1 chain next time. I’m just worried the hollow pins in these chains might not cope with the torque compared to the solid pin GX chain?

Why do you need to change the spider? Just change the chainring.

Just did the same to my Frey Beast. Makes better use of the grunt these motors have even in the lowest assistance level.

Thanks USB is on the bottom not the back of the display. Good pickup on the brake lever clamps. I space my front and rear brake levers differently to provide a natural brake bias so happy where the rear lever is. This bike runs the MT5E brakes which I find very good for my use and combined...

The displays are in a fixed position. The Bafang display is a colourful and bright display (even set at 50% brightness) so no problem with glare. It is also light sensing, so adjusts brightness for low light and simultaneously turns on the headlight (which can also be turned on manually via...

Few pics of the Frey Beast cockpit. I put a K-Edge gravity mount in place of the stem cap for my Garmin 830, rolled the Bafang display forward on the bars and tucked the stock light up underneath for a neat integrated setup.
