All of luna's drives are magnesium have a sine wave controller and are made exclusively for luna.

Does it have the steel gear too ? I saw from Paxtana on a diff forum that the Ludi version has one but no official confirmation.

Hmm where can I get one?

Yup. Apartment is too small to bring in the full bike inside every day so have to rely on unhooking the battery.

Hello I live in in the upper NE area in the US and during the winter months, I want to have the flexibility to quickly disconnect the battery and chargers to bring them indoors. My triangle battery comes with Anderson connectors for charging and XT60 for the BBSHD. Both these are hard to disconnect ...

IMO, based on my experience, maps to around 12-13 mile of equivalent real life watt-hours. Your challenge is battery size that fits a smaller frame. Option 1: Down tube mounted battery Try the new Wolf pack - https://lunacycle.com/luna-wolf-52v-ebike-battery/ - this should fit most smaller frames. I...

Check out this adapter as well - https://www.empoweredcycles.com/blogs/n ... -41-89-5mm
Good luck with your build. The bike looks cool!

Ha!

funny that BikesDirect has an ebike now

Have you explored something like the Frey bikes with the newer bafang ultra motor ? It is heavy, and probably over budget, but the torque sensing portion makes it better. I cannot comment on the geometry of the Frey bike. Another option is to explore the Luna made bicycles - they have a good range w...

I did. However I ride 25-30 miles every day. Chain extends by a little bit and it adds up over miles. Suddenly there’s a chain popping out mid ride.

I have had better experience with a tensioner - and am looking for a better component.

Is there a chain tensioner that is recommended for my setup - Nexus 3 and BBSHD? I've used the eclypse MT95C but the build quality is poor, and it's too narrow for single speed chains or a seven speed with the KMC pin. Looking for a good high performance single speed tensioner that just works and I ...

I apologize for the confusion- I've already got the frame and the budget is for the components only (excluding the frame).

I'm building my own full suspension 29er BBSHD build and wondering if it might be cheaper to buy a donor bike than buying individual components? I'm looking for bike suggestions to get me 70% Of the way. Typical list is 1. Front (straight tube that will fit 44mm ID) and rear shocks (165mm length). 2...

Those headlights look cool. What are those?
Congrats on the Bike. Look forward to hearing from you about your experience.

Definitely not as quick as my last bike with 52v BBSHD but much nicer to ride.

Also echoed by Karl G's review of the Luna Apex - the stock 1000w programming is not as quick as the BBSHD or the BBSO2 for the weight. Let's hope we figure out the right programming.

Wow. Thanks.

Are there cheaper hydraulic brakes that are compatible with Bafang / BBSHD drives ? I saw https://california-ebike.com/shop/trp-zurich-high-performance-quad-piston-hydraulic-disc-brake/ Which is quite expensive. The Magura MT5E and Shimano M355 are cheaper but both have a red colored 2 pin cutoff ca...

Thanks. Can you please share a top view and rear view close-up so we can see the electrical stuff and sensor wires.

Thanks. Can you please post close up pics for the cable routing ? It's not clear from the Luna pictures whether they come out at the top or on the rear of the motor. The mount spec also doesn't say where the cables are routed from .
Thanks for the help.

I am looking at the Nexus SG-3D55 for my custom build.
The fat bikes have drop outs of 140/141mm or more but the Nexus only appears to fit 135mm

Will the 135mm fit in the 140/141 dropout? If not, is there a specific 3 speed IGH that is recommended for fat bikes?

Whohoo. Nice job on the welding.. glad you like the final product.

I am glad you have the skills to make this by yourself. I wish at some point in the future I learn enough to even begin to attempt something as complicated! I am curious if you can provide some details about how this drive differs from the Bosch ones? Is it just more powerful - or is there more than...

Interesting. Did you buy the regular version or the ludicrous version?

Also- the iZip mount works with the Bafang ? Or did you have to modify the mount in any way?

Looks awesome.

How does it ride ? Sound / performance Compared to a BBSHD?

Luk, That bike looks awesome.
How does the sound /noise level compare to the HD?
Did you try the 1000W version or the Luna Ludicrous version?
Thanks.

I just read the review about Luna Apex / Bafang Ultra on Karl’s blog here (https://electricbike-blog.com/2017/11/10/the-lunacycle-apex-the-best-torque-sensing-ebike-a-lot-of-money-can-buy/) I’m curious if any one of you have tried the Ultra to comment on which is a better investment right now - the ...
