WW Needs To Produce A $6k Bike

[reed scott]

To my mind anyway. I would have ponied up that much for an aluminum bike with a slight step down in components. I don't want a carbon frame and I don't need super components. But I dearly want the Ultra motor with Pushkar's controller. Kinda makes me sad because at my age and income level ( soon to be fixed ) I will never buy another expensive bike. I ordered a good one and hopefully I'll find a way to get Pushkar's set up next year but it sure would have been nice to get the whole deal at one stroke. Oh well, such is life.

WW does have an aluminum UC Pro under development. Did you not see it from the rotating banner on the home page of the website?

Thanks but not my kind of bike.

What are you looking for ?

I thought your kind of bike is a “non-carbon frame without super components but a Ultra motor with Pushkar's controller”?

I settled on a Frey AM 1000 as it is configured pretty much right for me. I especially like the beefy rear suspension and the 27.5 x 2.8 tires. I can get out of the deal if you want to build me one.

I live on a large ranch with lots of rough dirt roads. I'm not a trail rider but I'm not a street rider either. ( bikes are dangerous here on our hilly curvy paved roads ) So a commuter type bike just would not do.

For 6k, with what specs exactly please?

if you wait 30 days you can pick one up from Boston.

 

[reed scott]

Oh MAN, you're teasing me. This is the bike I ordered. Still at least a month away. It's an unbadged Frey AM 1000 from Bolton Ebikes. The link will lay out the specs for you. I might want to upgrade the brakes If I had my druthers but other than that the bike seems just right. I'm sure the way I ride even the brakes are ok.

[pushkar]

i got it. I will message you.

 

[vincent]

i am sure bolton is fine but no comparison to WW, you definitely want to go that route if you can
hope this works out for you

 

[byunbee]

That bike from Bolton is about $1000 less directly from Frey including shipping cost. The bike is also no comparison for what you can get from WW. I would take @pushkar on his offer...you’ll be much happier for it with no buyer’s remorse.

The Bolton bike is reasonable in a couple regards. First if you want a bike sooner rather than later. Also, you might get better support than Frey if you are in the vicinity of Bolton. Otherwise it's not worth the premium IMO. Just buy from Frey. Also, the AM 1000 is a fairly ugly bike with the external battery. YMMV. At least Bolton chose a decent color to mute things. I'd rater have an integrated battery with the option to carry a spare on the frame like the Frey EX decked out with dual battery for the came cost as the Bolton. But you will have to wait...

Frey EX Review. Bafang Ultra enabled E-Mountain bike that can

The FREY EX electric mountain bike is here. You might not know it by looking at it, but this electric mountain bike is packing 1,500W of power, more than any other dual suspension e-bike and has the suspension required to navigate even the most technical terrain. Here we look at it in detail.

Any additional details that you can provide on this FS with integrated battery bike? Pics, specs, etc would be greatly appreciated Thanks!

So this will be WW entry level Ebike?

Something very close to that. Yes.
