I love this fender upgrade. Its the one I wanted for this bike and I'm glad Luna decided to offer it. Luna cycle is such a pleasure to deal with. Life long customer here.

I have started with a Titus El Guapo 29er frame that I have assembled with 27,5 + wheels.

BBS HD + 48V batery pack. The frame had absolutely no internal routings, I have drilled the holes for shifter cables, reverb, hydraulic brake lines and electrical wiring.

Came together fine Great products info and shipping.

Finished adding stoker handlebars and pedals this morning. Yesterday went for a 70 mile ride through Santiago Canyon to Whiting Ranch (solo). The motor made the hills easy, passes regular cyclists. Silent motor- I like that a lot. I made a meter to more accurately track battery use (in Ampere-Hours), and installed a hall current sensor in series with the battery lead. The meter uses an Arduino Pro Mini and 2 x 16 lcd display, powered by the main battery USB port. I use a 17 Ah battery- I finished the ride with 25% power remaining.

I purchased my Luna BBF02 Kit about six weeks ago. Was very easy to install (with the right tools). Once I got the kit in the mail I realized I needed a couple spacers for the motor to fit correctly. I called Luna and they hooked me up. Once those came in I was up in running in under two hours. When its not raining I have been commuting to work (6.5 miles) in Pittsburgh. LOTS of hills on my commute (600' according to my Strava app). So far it has been great. It takes about 20-25 minutes to get to work, and I average about 20 mph. Without the motor kit it would take closer to an hour and I would be a sweaty mess when I got there.

I ordered the Luna wrench to install my motor correctly. It arrived fast to the East Coast and made the installation easier.
I do wish Luna had an East Coast warehouse. I need to order more heavy parts to really make my bike perform perfectly.

The bike is amazing, it gets you anywhere you need to go, especially just for going on a nice ride at the end of the day!

thanks luna this bag is just what i needed had to make a few small mods to the bag but other then that it's awesome nothing but good from luna cycles keep up the awesome work

Service and technical support was awesome!!

I ordered a triangle battery bag and was pleased to see that it's made to the high quality standards I've come to expect from Luna products. It appears to be about the perfect size to fit in the triangle of my Mongoose Hondo with 27.5" wheels. (I mention 27.5" because there is a Hondo model with 26" wheels that appears to have a slightly smaller triangle.) My one slight disappointment is that the eyelets are a bit too small to accommodate the heavy duty releasable and reusable zip ties I had intended to use to secure it to the bike . That's not a big deal since the appropriate zip ties were included.

The Apex is better than expected, worth the long wait!! Climbs like a billy goat yet smooth as silk with the Rock Shox in the rear and Wren up front. A real show stopper, can't get through a ride without numerous inquires from other riders on the trail. The bike is FAST and shifts real smooth with the Rohloff.

MY LATEST BUILD ,
USING YOUR LUNA BBSHD KIT ( HOT ROD KIT )

THATS WHAT MAKES IT SO FUN !

Loving my New super moto kit!

Riding the ZEM with pedal power alone was brutal. Adding the Cyclone 3000 makes it fun. The stamped steel chain rings are too soft and the freewheel too weak to handle the power. I ended up making my own with a UHD freewheel 130 bcd spider and Surly stainless chainrings—works beautifully

Always a pleasure to deal with and the customer service is excellent

I needed the special wrench and brake sensors for hydraulic brakes for my e-bike build. Both came very quickly at a reasonable price and both work great. I should have gotten all my kit from LUNA!

Super fast shipping top quality battery bag best money can buy

This review is not for gear heads but those considering an ebike especially if comparing to gas for recreational weekend warrior riding. Hopefully I am sharing some decision points and info you may have not considered. I am not qualified to talk about e-tech (plenty good info out there) so this review is for those readers who are just trying to decide to go electric (or not). If you do, save the time researching which e-bike and get a Sur-ron, most everything out there will tell you this (at least as of Spring '19).

I am 48 and have always rode cross country MTB and have been doing downhill for the last 10 years. Two years ago I decided to get a gas dirt bike when I realized the epic long rides are behind me either because of my aging or those of riding partners. This is not a replacement for pedal power but another riding option for me. About that time my brother-in-law sent a link to Luna/Sur-ron. I blew it off thinking the e-tech is too new and decided to go with the gas dirt bike... until about 6 months ago when thought I was about to pull the trigger on gas and gave the Sur-ron one last look. I always analyze the heck out of decisions and am glad I did for 6 more months. I waa bit suspect of all the positive reviews and am not one to purchase on hype. So below is my rationale for buying the Sur ron X and thoughts regarding the Sur Ron and Luna after purchase.

Pros
1. I am not a gearhead and just want to ride with low maintenance. I live in Colorado and altitude (from what I read) is a pain with carburateurs as you swing from 5200 to 11000 feet. Considered fuel injection but few ICEs offer this. The Sur-ron has minimal maintenance beyond that of an MTB. Perfect for me.
2. I am 5'5" and about 25 lbs overweight at 165lbs. Fit of Sur-ron is great. Most gas bikes are too big for me. Note that many taller riders still like the fit. My wide is 5'10" and loves it too.
3. Being a cross-country MTBr, the idea of a noisy dirt bike was a real turn-off. Sur-ron X is sooo quiet. Obviously louder than a pedal bike but compared to gas its practically immaterial with the little extra noise vs a pedal bike.
4. My wife and kids who can't use a clutch can ride it.
5. Its nice to know I am not polluting and no need to get gas.
6. The torque and speed is more than I could ever need for cross country riding.
7. Built like a tank. I recently crashed at a dirt track the first time I took it out. Went up a steep hill, over-throttled, launched it. Only the rear fender broke and some scratches. Obviously anything can break but watch the videos- very well made.
8. On the dirt track I rode for 1hour 59 mins. 80% of the time in Sport mode while rolling over jumps with no elevation gain other than the jumps. According to stock odometer I went 33 miles. Not sure how accurate odometer is - will need to verify. While not the range of gas this is a function of the e-tech not Sur-ron. Frankly, this is amazing.
9. I have NEVER bought before trying and I rolled the dice on this based on all the positive reviews. The bike is awesome, Luna has fantastic support both before purchase and after. I have only asked questions and not dealt with real issues. Those that have had issues praise the service which is why I felt OK taking a chance with Luna.
10. Compared to gas bike it is much lighter.
11. Charging is only 3 hours from 10% to 100%
12. I would never purchase on looks but it does look like a traditional dirt bike if that matters.
13. I easily kept up with the gas bikes at the dirt track (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9rW0NkS8LY)
14. Price is superior for technology.
15. Definitely will consider using for commuting if I am not up to pedaling. New street legal mode is really easy to switch to/from. Will be curious what will actually happen if stopped by cops in street legal mode.
16. Great online knowledge for such a new product.

Negatives (all very minor but I want to be balanced in this review)
1. As with all ebikes, your really need to plan if you are camping without electric. Kinda sucks but you know that going in. Get a generator maybe?
2. Odometer/Speedometer and battery indicator are small so difficult to read safely when riding.
3. We don't have much mud in Colorado so I have not had fender concerns but that could be an issue for wetter climates.
4. Seat is could be more comfortable.
5. Little after purchase options unless you customize or can fabricate your own.


I still have not been on a cross-country ride so unfortunately can't give feedback there until the snow melts. I expect range to degrade a bit due to elevation change compared to the test drive at the track. I think the best endorsement is my wife is taking this one from me and I need to get a new one for myself.

Not as easy as using the shark battery.

I bought everything from lunacycle, and it was easy to do! They had fast shipping time and helpful customer service. If only I had followed a better tutorial, I wouldn't have wasted 30 extra dollars in just shipping fees!
