    As always, you come through barbarossa. So many valuable contributors on this forum. I think you lead the pack. Thanks :)

    Thx. I debated it. But I'm not $900+void-my-2-yr-warranty unsatisfied. In fact I'm actually ok with it as-is. Yet I'm sure some long-time riders have found what they feel are better settings, and I'd like to try em :) If I ever grow unsatisfied with those (after the warranty is up), I might...

    Ok, so which of you long-time owners wants to share your favorite programming settings? @barbarossa ? @Hardcore ? Anyone else?

    Ivy good to see you back on this thread :) And thank you for clarifying. Bummer to hear the flat case won't work for the smaller battery even though the cells would fit, but I understand the BMS won't (which is what barbarossa was curious about). One more thing that might lead to less...

    Thanks Barbarossa as always for your detailed findings regarding this bike. I bought one in the group buy in early January, and so I'm still waiting for it (production has been delayed by production slowdowns due to covid-19). It doesn't seem like Ivy or Grace monitor this thread as closely as...

    Yeah it seemed to me that this latest CA can act as a primary display (with temperature power roll-off & a lot of other customizability), if I went to the work of re-routing cabling. If I understand correctly, it seems the CA would be installed inline with the throttle cable, and the brake...

    If my understanding is correct, I think Grace is saying all the batteries stick out on the left, even the lighter, $130-saving 17.4ah, because all the batteries use the same case. Do you have the 17.4 battery, and if so you're saying it doesn't protrude? If so I would definitely go with the...

    Next Question TL;DR: Which display to get? Eggrider, Cycle Analyst, or Bafang C240, 500c, or SW102? I don't like the large vertical display that ships with the AM1000 (which seems likely to be damaged if I endo the bike...which I freely admit has happened more than once before), so I'm...

    I read this whole thread, and remember someone else also commenting that the 52v and 48v21ah batteries protrude further from the frame than the 48v17.4ah battery. However, Grace is telling me the battery cases are all the same. Can someone confirm this? I was planning on getting the 48v17.4ah...

    Thanks for the feeback- I see several people suggesting the Miranda Delta0 150mm crank so I'm putting that on as soon as I get my bike :)

    Thanks for the GPS info :) That's a crazy story! Glad you got your bike back :thumb:

    tl;dr: Alfine 8 IGH- will it last with Ultra? Think I've decided to stick with the AM1000. Ordered it right at the end of the US group buy a week or so ago, but I've been researching upgrades since. One upgrade I've asked Frey about (no response yet other than to say she'll get back to me...

    @Deafcat and @cscscs: did you two ever get any farther with engineering a replacement to this weak link in the Ultra? Do you still feel it's necessary? Should I order a spare part with the bike and if so can you point to which part in a photo so I can ask Frey for the replacement? Thanks for...

    @Barbarossa I'm very interested in hard-wiring a GPS tracker too. Can you link to the tracker you bought and service you use for tracking it? Also, if you happen to be bored and want to post more photos of how you mounted it that would be awesome. But primarily I'm wondering what tracker to...

    Hi @Hardcore - After viewing a couple videos, I'd say we have similar riding preferences in that I tend to ride singletrack pretty fast and love a little air but generally don't do huge drops (don't mean to imply you don't- just hadn't seen that in 2 vids). This will be my first eMTB (have only...
