Hello! Sorry for delay replying. Exactly where abouts are you guys based in the world?
EX Specs: http://www.frey.bike/full-suspension-eMTB/Frey-EX.htm
AM1000 Specs: http://www.frey.bike/full-suspension-eMTB/Frey-AM1000.htm
The geometry is slightly different on the EX, some would say better, both are excellent supremely competent eBikes. With the AM1000 you’ve got one nice big battery pack all in one package. With the EX you’ve potentially got more Watt hrs with both fitted but if you want to go lightweight and not always needing that range you can ditch the external piggy-back battery and drop some kilos. The EX also has greater suspension travel but is more expensive than the AM1000. Both ride extremely well. So, pros and cons for each really. Cheers.

Thank you for the answer
We are from Norway, bikes gonna be mostly used on rough wood trails, singeltracks, gravel roads and some long trips deep into the Norwegian mountains. the EX looks pretty awesome indeed, but think i`ll end up with the AM1000 with a extra 21ah battery to carry in the backpack. On longer trips i feel that it's better that i feel a bit heavier with the battery in the backpack than the bike feel heavy because of the attached extra battery.

Hardcore said:54.6 volts output for the said 48v charger, and to be all-inclusive, their 52v charger outputs 58.8v. You can also check the voltage of your battery using the Bafang display. Fully charged it should read 54.6v for a 48v battery.
Reasoning: you have 13 cells in series with each a nominal voltage of 3.7v (13x3.7 = 48v), while their max voltage is 4.2V. You do the math if you know what I mean
yep, lots of chain drops, unfortunately. Ivy sent me the chain guide when she sent a new rear hub. Blew out the freewheel at the Downiville Downhill. Lots of rides in South Lake Tahoe and northern CA. I have definitely put the bike through its paces. It is a fun powerful bike!Hardcore said:If you didn't get it with the chainguide then you have to get the holes in there yourself. I did it as well due to too many chaindrops. But what have you been doing to your bike? Looks well used
rayebiker said:Did you tap and die the holes for the guide? How hard is it to get the motor housing off to do that? (Or did you use some sort of self taping metal screws?) Can you send a few pics (as best you can since the chainring is in the way).Hardcore said:If you didn't get it with the chainguide then you have to get the holes in there yourself.
