Can you guess which is Before and which one’s After?
Bought the RANS Stratus XP XXL on BROL Classifieds, without wheels or seat for a significant reduction on price + shipping.

No PAS, just dual half-twist throttles (and two separate displays!)
Limited the top speed to 12m/20kph because over that I’m either riding level ground or coasting so don’t need assist. With the two 52V 21Ah Luna DireWolf battery packs concealed under the seat, on assist level 1 the range is well over 100 miles fully loaded in hilly terrain and likely around 200 otherwise. Can tow more than 100lbs extra (bike itself + panniers and trailer weigh ~125lbs, I’m about 180 warmly attired) up the steepest grades at 10.9mph, which is about four times faster than I could make it alone (if at all.)
Have lids for the 6-Gallon blue buckets, but first need to drill holes through their sides for the power cables (just picked up the 7/8” 22mm hole saw) then line with Dow insulation board for the winter. And of course gotta tidy up the cables, waiting on more 12AWG stranded copper. Planning to coil up the excess harnesses and conceal with an Xmas wreath (no kidding!) and wrap all the rest of the exposed wiring along chopper bars and around controller boxes in blue tinsel as a festive holiday disguise.
Oh, and also building a matching blue Igloo 48Q trailer from a Wikes kit. Local box stores all out of the 1” square profile aluminum tubing I need for this project, so could be a while.
Will post back upon completion.
Thanks for looking!
