    My Bafang Ultra Mountain Bike! Frey AM1000

    Here are pics of my stolen Frey. I put a silver and black twist grip throttle on it and I do have the serial number of the battery. Lesson learned, I never took a good photo of the serial number of the bike itself nor did I register it, and I cropped the serial number of the motor out of the...

    Sad news to report. My Frey AM1000 was stolen last night. I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area so if anyone from this area sees one riding around or for sale, maybe let me know. It was white with blue lettering, but I think what makes it unique are the Ching Sheng Tire BFT 27.5 x 3.0 tires. I...

    I shipped the motor to Bafang for troubleshooting. Here are some photos in case anyone can spot something wrong. The pinched speed sensor wire is bad, but wasn't causing any issue. And I see there is a nylon gear inside, but the gear doesn't look melted or anything. I wasn't able to get the...

    He mentioned FLX, not sure if that is the supplier from whom he actually ordered, but I was curious so I did contact them: Sagui Aug 15, 03:58 Hi Sean, ​ ​We have the G510.1000 motor, the motors were custom made for us and we didn't want to have the orange logo. The FLX Blade uses the Bafang...

    Tom L had some great posts a while back on wiring up the lights. Has anyone tried the Nip n Tuck light set?

    "The chain path across the cassette is highly controlled. The chain can only sit in a specific place on the cassette, correction teeth ensure this happens on every rotation or shift if the chain is out of sync." Could the skipping be from the correction they talk about?

    Thank you! So my theory about the cover identifying the model was not correct, that is good to know, thanks again for posting the photo. The bike looks really good in all black! I left my tools at work so I wasn't able to take my motor off for shipping yet. I'll keep y'all updated. Cheers, Sean

    I think you are still misunderstanding. The color of the plate is not a preference for me, it was an indicator of which model the motor is. You imply that I ordered a 1000 watt motor and was sent a 500 watt motor instead. You are mistaken. That is not what happened, so I'm not offended at...

    If you have the silver and black cover, then you probably have a G510.500 motor. Not to speak on their behalf, but the likely reason customers such as Frey obtained these motors was that Bafang is able to upgrade them to 1000 watts. Now Bafang is telling Frey (and me) that a G510.500 cannot...

    The error code was 04, which I've seen listed as either "Throttle not homing/throttle not returning to zero state" or "Battery overvoltage" This was the 2nd time that I'd used the G510.500 motor with a 52 volt battery. Joe Zhang from Bafang says the G510.500 is not intended to be used with a...

    Hi all, I have some sad news to report. My weight plus the hills of San Francisco finally proved to be too much for the Bafang motor. The display powers on, the battery is full, but neither the throttle nor the pedal assist are getting any power from the motor. I'll be shipping the motor to...

    Tasmania is only 2 hours time difference from Jinhua. Probably Frey's receiving SMTP server, but you could try a test email from another email account just to eliminate your outbound SMTP server as a variable.

    My other chargers had XT60 so I just cut the Reention cable and spliced in XT60 connectors, works great and easy to get inexpensive XT60 connectors, just another option to consider.

    If the lockring is 16 notch, 48.5mm, then the Park BBT-29 should work. The BBT-9 will not work. The Luna Bafang tool will work (I just measured it). The Shimano TL-FC36 tool... maybe? That's cool that they had one with a nice handle; with the double-sided ones or the Luna tool, you're stuck...

    Is it easy to replace the gold color lock with the new longer lock? I just noticed a few days ago that the battery comes out even without unlocking it, so I worry that it will be stolen. Also, I measured the voltage on both battery chargers, and it turns out they are both 54.6 volts output...

    Sounds awesome, that would be great to see photos and learn how you powered the light on the back. One thing I like about this light is that you can point the side lights straight ahead or down toward the ground while the center light stays pointing forward. You can also choose 1) center light...

    In case anyone wants to integrate a light into the existing wiring, here is an inexpensive way that I did it: This is the light, I bought it from Walmart for $12.74, you may need to hunt around to get the same price: This is the USB port from Amazon...

    Yeah, sorry, just got around to measuring this morning, and I got the same numbers 180mm total 25mm thread And just FYI, 7mm of the thread extends beyond the bolt and sticks out, if that matters at all.

    Interesting, this caught my eye: "Two operating modes and 5 power levels each provide an ideal driving style for every need and every terrain. The ECO mode optimizes the energy consumption and thus ensures homogeneous power delivery and long ranges. In SPORT mode, the engine develops its...

    Yesterday, May 14th, 2018 — a date which will live in infamy — the Frey FAT1000 was suddenly but not deliberately attacked by an elevator door located at the BART train station owned and operated by the Republic of California. The attack yesterday on the Frey FAT1000 has caused severe damage to...

    I'll transfer over my Mucky Nutz front mud guard and the mud guard I have in the back on my other bike and see if they fit okay. UPDATE: The Mucky Nutz worked on the bluto fork on the FAT1000, but didn't work well on the Yari fork with 3 inch tire on the AM1000 - not enough clearance IMHO. You...

    With the two DPC-18 displays that came with the Freys, they have the ability to select default mode of either Sport or Eco, but this feature replaced the ability to change the number of PAS levels, so I'm stuck with 5 levels unless I can figure out a workaround. Also, the BMS screens on the...
