It looks like Luna has two 'new' ebikes, one a revised X1 in the 'X2' which seems some minor frame changes along with an increase to 17aH batter, but retains the M600 motor, with the most interesting aspect being a 'Ludi v2' controller, which appears to be a true FOC controller using VESC software, and I expect one of their existing controllers as a base. Weight claimed is 58# for Med frame.
The other(Z1) looks to be a Dengfu E10-based Ultra bike, which looks much like the Hydra as it's undoubtedly a Dengfu frame. Not going to guess as to if WW had a timed exclusive on the frame or not, but many non-US builders have been using that frame for builds. Weight claimed is 65# for Med frame.
On the positive side for the Z1, they are selling them with UART-based Ultras.
The X2s sold out in a day apparently (Black Friday) while last I saw the Z1s still are available. No options on color or anything other than Ludi v2 controller for the X2 that I saw.
By comparison to other known-to-me CF framed bikes, the Hydra is better specced for a bit more $, while I'd say the Luna specs at least equal or exceed the Biktrix Monte which is higher starting price (but has a different frame altogether, looks pretty sharp).
Both bikes are(were?) priced at $4200, + $400 controller upgrade on the X2.
After going back and forth for months, and the Hydra being a bit rich for my blood, although I will at some point have an Archon/X1-controlled Ultra bike (
), I had resigned myself to building one from one of the few CF frames available to us in the US (Note Biktrix also locked in US/CAN rights to their new Monte frame as well...), and was finalizing my parts list but decided to wait for Black Friday. Woke up, saw a Thanksgiving/BF note on Luna's site, and ordered - as with current prices I couldn't build a bike for the price.
So, the wait begins..
