Luna - X1 Enduro Bike

[Slowroller]

Not sure where this should go, it's legal sort of in the US, but not anywhere else. Interesting to see the Bafang motor in something though.

Luna unleashes its affordably insane 2000-watt X-1 Enduro ebike

Why isn't it legal? You can buy the 750watt version? The Geo looks ok too. Same head angle and Reach as the Merida E160. Quite long chainstays but shorter than the Haibike Xduro. 700Wh Battery. Looks like a good deal. My mate is looking into the total cost after import.
I would advise him against the 2000w Ludicrous model as it will push the motor too hard and murder the battery

The 2000w version does have a power dial 1-10 650w to 2000w so could be kept on a safer setting than full power.

Bike looks awesome im considering one, £2871 shipped to the uk for the standard one, add £236 for the 2000w version.

Yeah I seen you could tune it. A good option to have for resale too. I wonder if Luna would install a no assist option over 25km. Otherwise the 750w would continue past that speed making it illegal. They do tune the bikes already and they would need to slap a couple of stickers on it.
An EAPC must have pedals that can be used to propel it.
It must show either:

• the power output
• the manufacturer of the motor

It must also show either:

• the battery’s voltage
• the maximum speed of the bike

Its electric motor:

• must have a maximum power output of 250 watts
• should not be able to propel the bike when it’s travelling more than 15.5mph

An EAPC can have more than 2 wheels (for example, a tricycle).

Thanks, Slowroller---very interesting bike.....

Not sure I would want something like that on my trails. Anything with a throttle is a no-no.

The only thing, you'll achieve, is killing your derailler and chain in no time. What good is that!

I would love to see a review from anywhere other than the Luna website or the associated websites. I believe Luna is a company trying hard to do the right thing as they see it. And as they see it, 2000 watts is a valid choice? I agree! if I want to blow up a cassette doing ludicrous stuff, then so be it. (disclaimer- as long as its on private property with consent).

I would absolutely be interested in one of these Ludicrous opted bikes, with a belt drive, and rolhoff hub.

the 2,000 Watt is pedal assist

Karl is a Luna Fanboy, take it with a grain of salt. Given that several companies are selling the same, or very similar chinese ebikes, I'll expect more of them to appear, and probably even get more refined as they go. They're trying hard.
