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 BBSHD or the Ultra.

I am building a custom frame so the investment is similar. I can also wait for a couple of months for things to shake out.

I built ebike with Bafang HD and Ultra drive .

There are differences between the two engines:
The Ultra is heavier but it has a torque sensor (and a nice display).
HD has a better price. the parts are easily found.
the utra is more integrated, more modern.

I make a small series of handcrafted bikes with Ultra.
The Ultra has a lot of torque and consumes a little less than the HD apparently.

For your question, my choice is the Ultra .
 
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 have not tested the version of Luna C. but the Ultra is already 1000w .( G510)
There is another version of Compact motor as Max drive ( G33 ) 250, 350, and 500w
The sound is like HD, abscent !
A talk about 1000w version .
