I don't know if this is the right place to ask this but; is it possible to tap into the brake lever motor cutoff to opporate a rear brake light?

18650 said:According to the AM1000 specs on Alibaba, the bike features the "MAGURA MT5 Ne [brake lever] with brake sensor". On the Magura website I could only find the "MT5e", which was specially designed for e-bikes and S-Pedelecs and has a brake light switch.

OK, went to my bank and they conducted the transfer of over $3,000.00. I sent Ivy a copy of the bank's transaction documentation.
I just got a call from Ivy, calling me from China saying she did NOT send that request for a wire transfer. She explained that someone must have hacked into the communications, upon investigation I noticed there was a difference in email addresses but very subtle. The person also knew all about the Frey bikes and options.
The REAL Ivy has this email address:
sales@frey.bike <sales@frey.bike>
The FAKE Ivy used this email address: sales@frey.bike <salesfreybike@dr.com>
Been a cop for over 25 years and I missed it. I thought Ivy just started another thread to finalize the sale and the thread had ALL the details of what I wanted on the bike.
Ivy (the REAL one) has been great. She called me as soon as she got my email with confirmation of the wire transfer and realized it was fraud. I called my bank and they are working on it. I still intend to buy from Ivy (assuming I didn't lose my money) but I wanted to give you folks a big Heads Up on this.
I've been running tubeless for 3 months now with no issues and personally would never take a tube over tubeless. But I always have a back up tube in case.eltee said:My AM1000 is coming with "tubeless ready" tires. I have tubeless on my regular MTB and like them but are they recommended for eMTB's? For my eMTB I am leaning more towards reliability than performance, this bike will be more for cruising dirt trails, etc. than technical riding. I just want to increase my odds of riding back vs. walking. Thanks for any input.
Looks like that fake someone had access to legit accounteltee said:If you've been following my posts I was negotiating a purchase with Ivy and we had agreed upon a configuration and price.

Yes!! I`m patiently waiting on the road/hardtail version!
Tom L said:Any reason you prefer the hardtail?
Having moved from a hardtail to the Frey FS ebike I'll never go back. The ride is so much more comfortable. The loss of efficiency in peddling is easily made up for by the motor.
Drop Dead Fred said:Guys giving some thought to selling my AM1000. While I love the bike I just ordered an M600 Full Suspension frame and a new Ellsworth 27.5+ frame that I'm going to need cash to build those two... so kind of full on bikes at the moment. Plus if my wife figures it out I might be sleeping outside with the dog for a while! :lol:
Do you think anyone would be interested since I've only had it about 3 months?
Ebayer from long ago but thought I would give peeps on here a chance first.TOLM said:Drop Dead Fred said:Guys giving some thought to selling my AM1000.
