    The new AM1000 V6

    I got my Frey AM 1000 V6 today. Wooohooo!!! It is one sweet ride. The bike is heavy to lift into a vehicle, but when riding it does not feel heavy. I only rode it a few times today. I rode it up some wicked hills in my neighborhood, think San Francisco like hills. It has tons of power and...

    The new AM1000 V6

    My Frey AM1000 V6 made it across the Pacific to California and cleared customs. I cannot wait to receive it, but UPS tracking just says “label received” and the China tracking system says it arrived in LA port, cleared customs, container unloaded and picked up. When it arrives, I’m going to...

    Looking for a fast ebike primarily for commuting and possibly some trail riding

    So here is a newby question... Could I buy a Trek ebike and then upgrade from the Bosch motor to the more powerful Bafang motor? I know it would void the warranty, but the warranty isn't important to me as I would just pay for any needed repairs.

    So yes, you found info on the various Frey EX models. But you found that info on a third party website. And it isn’t found on Frey’s proprietary website. As I said before, that is not inspiring my confidence in Frey’s attention to detail.

    Looking for a fast ebike primarily for commuting and possibly some trail riding

    Back to my original question, is the Bosch motor going to be too wimpy and underpowered to keep the speed up? The Bafang power and speed sound quite enticing, but all I have to go on for the Frey bikes is their website and it is not well constructed. Frey doesn’t even clearly explain the...

    So with Frey bike, it looks very attractive, but I’m not sure about sizing. I’m 5’8” with a 30 inch inseam. I generally ride on a medium frame. Would the Frey CC one size universal frame fit me well? How do I approach answering this question of fit? And what about the Frey EX rather than...

    What is the process for the group buy? How much would I save with the group buy?

    Looking for a fast ebike primarily for commuting and possibly some trail riding

    Wow! I just looked at the Luna Apollo mountain ebike and it is very fast. One question though. Is it legal? The web site says it goes over 36 mph.

    Looking for a fast ebike primarily for commuting and possibly some trail riding

    My latest thoughts are to see if my LBS can get me a Trek police model. It’s a hard tail but it would likely work well for my high speed commuting needs. I don’t need to carry much of anything with me to work other than a small backpack, and the ride will only be about 10 minutes. And as...

    Thanks Stephan, a demo ride sounds like a great idea.

    That police eBike would be a good option. However, I heard you can only get one if you are in the police force.

    Looking for a fast ebike primarily for commuting and possibly some trail riding

    I was looking at the Frey EX, since it is fast and it is an eMountain bike. But the bike is very heavy, somewhere in the range of 70 pounds. How would that feel going up some stairs or lifting it into my vehicle for transport? My carbon fat bike may look fat, but it weighs only a little over...

    Looking for a fast ebike primarily for commuting and possibly some trail riding

    Thanks Marci jo. The Trek Allant 9.9 would be good for at least one reason because I could buy it from my local bike shop. I think it is a class 2 with a top speed of 28 mph. I feel a little disappointed though because it is not a mountain bike but rather a commuter bike. I guess what I am...

    Looking for a fast ebike primarily for commuting and possibly some trail riding

    I am an avid mountain biker. I typically start my day just about every day with a one hour ride at dawn on the single track with my friends. My main current rides are a carbon full suspension 29er and a Borealis carbon fat bike. I have never before had an ebike and I don't know much about...
