    Upcoming FLX Weapon

    LMAO on the Huffy comment, but on the above - based on what assumed price? If they come in at $6K, why would anyone take an E05 frame vs the Luna X2 at $4100, or the Monte Capro Lite at $4400? 'Really good deal' needs final specs and pricing, but there's the immediate comparison for many, IMO.

    I just sent this message to Biktrix regarding the Unprogrammable Canbus Ultra motor

    I don't - from what I've seen, the 'Biktrix modified firmware' was only available to Monte Capro (maybe others) owners/their direct customers. At some point I had my hands on a document describing the changes they made, and they were minor - nothing comparable even remotely to the UART Ultra...

    I just sent this message to Biktrix regarding the Unprogrammable Canbus Ultra motor

    Honestly, I think that’s a normal-specced M600 for torque, and close enough to bafang’s totally weird ‘OE’ site info. Even the M500 I rented overseas was peaking around 800-900W. The only way to go higher is wits customer controller, higher current custom firmware (note Bafang is seemingly...

    Which, if any, Luna Cycle have Walk Mode?

    Z1 has it and I believe non-Ludi X2 do. Even though I have one, not sure if LudiV2 controller equipped X2s have walk mode or not honestly - have just never felt the need for it, although I am running a non-Bafang throttle which may make throttle control a bit better vs the supplied throttle...

    Monte Capro Ultra

    @Rome Many Dengfu frame owners (I’m fairly sure the Monte Capro frame is an E22 frame with the ‘diamond’ modification to sidestep Luna/WW frame exclusivivity - have had confirmation from Dengfu some time back anyways) disable the button entirely as it’s problematic over time. Luna disables the...

    I just sent this message to Biktrix regarding the Unprogrammable Canbus Ultra motor

    CANBUS motors can’t be programmed like UART. BESST and the current hacks/workaround, clever as they are (and they are!), limit you pretty much to: 1. Change the speed limit (which is good) 2. Change wheel size 3. Ability to update firmware to different versions, some of which increase or...

    Luna X2 w/ Ludicrous Controller - top speed & range questions

    Top speed is ~30mph. If your focus is on that, get the Z1 with Ultra motor. The X2 is great, but is not a ‘ride by throttle indefinitely bike,’ more of a mountain bike with some grunt to it. Mileage completely depend on assistance level, with the LudiV2 controller or not, and if going via PAS...

    Upcoming FLX Weapon

    There’s another pic if you go to the ‘coming soon’ link instead of ‘the Weapon’ page. I think JRA’s right - looks like a Dengfu E05 frame. $2500 off ‘retail’ just means it’ll likely claim ‘retail’ of <too much> like the Biktrix Monte Capro (WAY high) and Monte Capro Lite (better, but not...

    Max Battery voltage for Ultra motors

    The pic and post should be the answer but not completely - the caps along with probably the mosfets also have max ratings. Check some of the deep dive threads on e.g differences between M500/510 and M600 controllers - not for the Ultra but the parts differences are telling and relevant for any...

    My 1000w motor journey and fear mongering by users of the forum!

    Eh, even worse use of them. Sure, walking is 7x more dangerous - assuming there are ONLY 7x more people walking than riding bikes. Same reason raw #s without adjusting 'per capita' or other normalization are pretty much worthless stats, just scare tactics(news and politicians often) or ignorance..

    Ebike rack

    Someone may come along to say 'it can be done' but that's more than the weight of the bike itself being added over the rear wheel. I've done a lot of long motorcycle trips (1500miles and up) on and off-road, and can feel the weight even on motorcycles. Have you considered a trailer instead...

    Hydra as a commuter?

    That's too bad - this was looking pretty clean/promising!

    What Are Your Tips & Tricks For Changing a Tire After it's Off the Bike?

    Same as others have said - get both beads down into the center of the rim where it's recessed is usually the 'real' trick. I keep a spray bottle with some soap/water and spray the beads if need be. You can also look for some motorcycle tire lube, which is thicker/more greasy and I have but...

    A few Hydra pics

    I’m pretty sure it is, asked Dengfu about it and they indicated it was theirs, guessing to work around ‘exclusives’ for both E10 and E22 frames..

    Ebike rack

    My 1up (Super Duty double) rack arrived pretty quickly, within 2 weeks of ordering - might have even been less, but was traveling out of state, so just now had time to pull it out. General impressions are good so far. I did buy a bunch of accessories, preferring to 'do it now.' The wheel...

    Luna X2 - First Impressions

    Search other owner threads. With some effort, I can get my Ludi x2 to hit 30mph. I rarely use throttle but will try another throttle top speed run when I remember. Going to a 40T chainring will add a couple MPH top end. My BBHSD bike had no issues getting to 36mph, which is around where I’ve...

    Luna X2 - First Impressions

    The CANBUS controllers are very different, it’s not just the cable connection. Possible but somewhat unlikely the speed app works on M600, but regardless the Ludiv2 is an entirely different controller with its own app. Eggrider doesn’t work with OE M600 or any CAN motors...

    Luna X2 - First Impressions

    ’Bulletproof’ on an ebike groupset is a bit optimistic. Chains, cassettes wear pretty quickly on ebikes, even moreso those using throttles heavily and/or not smoothly. LinkGlide was specifically made for ebikes, or at least is claimed to be. Box 8/9 also targets ebikes. Both of these are...

    Luna X2 - First Impressions

    Depends on riding. I think IOU said he adjusted the derailleur to even lock out the 50T rear sprocket. I agree it's not really needed for most trail type riding, but it could be if you do a lot of steep climbing, technical trails. etc. I was surprised to see LinkGlide is only 10S or 11S, but...
