The page said that when I ordered last year too....
Hmm, in that case, you definitely have a bone to pick with Luna. I would make em send one with regen. Otherwise, that would be straight up false advertising, fraud even. I just tried using the Internet Archive to look back in time, but unfortunately, they didn't archive the X controller page (they did archive the Sur Ron Parts page, however).
But I recall looking before and it did not state that it had regen. It didn't state that it didn't have regen either - which would have been the only right thing to do since the prior batch did...
Im looking at buying the X controller from luna. Can people that have tried the other controllers like the ASI or the first gen of the X controller share the differences in performance? Ive read the previous posts and im sure the answers are in there somewhere.. but for some one less technical... whats the short simple answer? .. pros and cons? Whats the best value? Is it worth upgrading battery? if you upgrade battery.... what are the limits of the motor? Whats the best upgrade that you can do and still have a reliable motor? Has anybody built a 21700 pack? .. and if so.. what would you recommend for a BMS? Best voltage? 72 or 92v?
Has anyone thought about a sur ron like design but with the motor installed at the pivot point to allow for a longer battery case and a wider trailing arm to allow for a wider tire to make use of more power and have the charger on board? I saw the post with the taller battery case... that was cool... but would prefer the weight lower in the bike for better handling and looks. Im thinking of building a frame to try this. Any advice? Im looking at using the BOSCH 10.5 kW motor. How much power is enough or usable? ive seen 16 kW peek motors talked about.... at what point is it overkill? In the bush with X controller it seems like more than enough power with Fox front and rear suspension and saint M820 brakes with vented metal pads... Has anyone tried the below bikes and can compare to the sur ron? Does anyone know what motor the RevX 018 / Mrazek is using? looks pretty small in size for peek 16kW. Anyone tried adding capacitors to the mix for better take off and capturing regen to extend battery life?
Has anyone looked at building a pack with https://www.maxwell.com/
Tesla bought Maxwell.
Is it possible to get better range and power without adding a lot more weight and size and not overheat batter.. controller and motor? Im in the tropics and need reliability in 40 c temps.
I like the http://www.electricrt.com .... but didnt like how the regen is operated. Is there a 4000 or 8000 ASI that has regen like the RevX or like the Sur Ron X controller?
Regen on the RevX is interesting... throttle when turned forward engages regen.
The vid for the RevX is hilarious. Reminds me of the soup nazi on Seinfeld. https://www.facebook.com/bob.mrazek/videos/2194740817464784/
Thank u in advance for any answers to my questions and sorry if they have already been answered in previous posts. Im just looking for the short simple answers that are less technical.. looking for what people have experienced riding moded sur rons and similar bikes...
Would be great to have a comparison chart for all the potential upgrades... and comparison chart for similar bikes in the market.
What if there was a race set up for all the moded sur rons and similar bikes? A track that was built specifically to take advantage of the unique attributes of light electric dirt bikes?
