Holy mackerel, I cannot believe my eyes. An alloy frame running a Bafang motor. Shame it doesn’t come in something more Cross Country and Enduro but what I wouldn’t give for a test ride. 😎
Questions for full video- 29 vs. 27.5,how does performance compare and can tire diameter be switched over without special programming tools? Is it progressive enough for a coil shock? How loud is m560 in this frame? (I believe my Shimano ep8 is almost silent due to design of Husqvarna HC frame) Does kit just assemble and “plug and play”? And please experiment with the rear ride height adjustments. Thanks and very much looking forward to full vid!
They don't offer directly the possibility to upgrade to the bafang 560...ans it seems that you Can have a custom paint as well...nonetheless this seems quite a Monster 😮
hi Neeko, i'm curious to know what gearing you ran in the back? the manual says you can't go above 46T else you can damage the frame. Or when you do your full review, i would like some feedback into if it's ok to run like 12 50/52T? thanks.
Sincere apologies for the delay. I'm pretty sure that the chainring size can't exceed 40t. But the cassette range/ratio isn't an issue. I'm still using the stock 34t chainring with a 11/50t cassette. I've had no issues in either MX or 29er setup. The only thing is that the chain link count needs to increase when you swap between the 27.5 rear drop-out to 29er drop-out👍🏿
I see your point. I'm 6foot 3inches. I'm using a reach adjust headset to maximise the reach on the large. But I'll share my thoughts in terms of fit and feel in the full video👍🏿
At 208cm, I'm particularly interested to hear your thoughts about sizing, geometry, weight & handling, of the Frey Dopamine & any other high pivot ebike frames that tend to run large.
Weight may be an issue. Cost and support is definitely an issue. Given the state of the ebike industry now, in the US you can buy a complete full carbon frame emtb (with 2 year warranty) for less than you can build out that aluminum frame. And a battery going bad is always an issue. Can't ship it back...."dangerous materials". Been there. At least if you purchase locally you can return the battery if it goes bad. I like the Geo though.....looks like the Santa Cruz or Pivot. Just too expensive. When Bafang establishes a US facility for sales and distribution it'll make more sense.
I don't disagree, that a suitable carbon frame could be had for less than this frame costs... I wouldn't buy based on vehicle warranty, though; most have enough caveats that they're not worth the paper they're printed on. That said, the most well-equipped ebike in our own little fleet of vehicles, is a white-label-ish Chinese assembled model, that did indeed come with a warranty & well known components, for not much more than this frame costs.
I've seen worse weld joints on mainstream alloy emtbs. The headtube, toptube and seatstay have a hydroformed finish. However, you have raised an interesting point about the price comparison between hybridizer and Dengfu👍🏿

Impatiently awaiting an update on this machine
I'll have an alloy frame over a carbon frame all the time. Looking forward to the video neeko👊🏽

We can arrange something Christopher. I do need to head down to Cannock Chase to shoot some ride footage. So pm me and we'll go from there👍🏿
@@neekodevinchi BTW: Only my mortal enemies call me by my surname. My friends call me JC.
I saw this frame on chili's like 2 weeks back , almost pulled the Tigger. looks soo cool.
It is. expect content where I compare this ebike to other enduro emtbs👍🏿
Nice work mate !!!
Looks good. Dont see many high pivot ebikes with that type of power👍🏽
Frey has a new one out, but they're not exactly lightweight.
All you need now is the Frey Dopamine. Then you can do a high pivot ebike comparison👍
...Keep a watchful eye on upcoming content my friend. This has given me an idea😁👍🏿

Rest assured, I'll leave no stone unturned with my full review video👍🏿
Will hybridizer make an ebike with the M620/M630?
...you never know🤫

Awesome. How much does your bike weigh exactly?
Currently, 25.5kg. but i might be able to shave some weight off with selective components👍🏿
No size for me ;) 196cm, should be at least XL size frame, for me only dengfu e82 :(

Isn’t this alloy frame more expensive than the Dengfu carbon and the welding lines look atrocious.
