I don't think there exists a "x2 pro". Did you mean to say "X1 pro gen 2"? Either way, I'm not finding it on Luna Cycle's shop. I only see Bafang and Cyclone kits on their website. Please give a direct link. I think you must be confusing Cyclone with CYC's products. Luna Cycle is in the US...

I used a 2 letter state abbreviation, which is the way everyone in the US indicates the state on parcels.

Tried to place an order on SJS Cycles. Got this: The first error msg is bogus (I didn't reach the payment step yet). They seem to have a broken address verification tool. When it falsely rejects a valid address, there is no way to override and move forward. The only ways to reach them is...

The only thing stopping me from buying this is the purchase logistics. Buying options: buying direct from CYC Motors in China: they only accept Paypal or wire transfer. It's unethical to use Paypal, and you also give up consumer protections that many credit cards include. Wire transfers are...

Every US state has an attorney general who keeps records of consumer complaints. The merchant need not be in the state, or even in the US. This is one of the reasons it's useful to know the registered realname of a company. If a company named "Precision Bicycle Components Inc." goes by "Bob's...

This is a red herring. They don't need to be value judgements to be contradictory. The first statement is realistic, while the 2nd statement is delusional. In the absence of consumer protection trust is obviously required. I'm afraid my first-hand experience shows your amusement to be...

You obviously have no clue about threat models. Why do you think a legitimate shopper needs protection from law enforcement? You seem to have no clue about choosing the right tool for the job at hand. A bicycle parts buyer and Snowden have very different threats to control for. The fact that...

I corrected that for you. Value implies balance and you're nowhere near it with dodgy merchants. This statement is absurdly contradictory with your other comments. When credit card is not accepted and the merchant has no domestic assets to go after, then of course trust is required. You've...

Paypal themselves are crooks. So when people are saying "the good and trustworthy Aliexpress vendors accept Paypal" (a common sentiment), it does well to display the very poor standard of trust for Aliexpress. When the bar is so low that Paypal is seen as a feature not an anti-feature, it's...

I'm using Tor. It doesn't generally make sense to use Google to start with, but if you're driven to use Google search it doesn't generally make sense to do so without anonymity unless perhaps you want to be in the filter bubble for some reason. Bingo. I think you understand the nuts and bolts...

When a pedal wrench includes a 24mm closed wrench for the cassette remover, it can be used to torque a pedal:

I've studied 11 mid-drive kits for fat bikes (listed here), as well as the Stokemonkey (which is unlisted due to being discontinued). I'll probably abandon the project because there are just no good options. Hacking budget-- It's sensible to nix anything over ~$1.5k because there are bikes...

In this case it wouldn't matter if you ignore the specs in the video and rely on the text specs, because the text specs are also contradictory. PDF brochure cover page says 20-60v PDF brochure last page says 24-60v PNG brochure says 24-60v the 1st table says 24-52v with a max 63v (implying...

It's unclear why you think there's significant effort. I discovered three such cases without even looking (that "EBBS02" is a rebadged "Lingbei MM29.250" which is an enhanced "Bafang BBS02", "AFT" is a rebadged & enhanced "Cyclone", and "GNG" and "CYC" are likely the same OEM). It's unlikely...

This is what I saw in the video (which is on the page you linked): None of those models have a range that includes both 12v and 52v. 12v is below the 24v floor of the 4808 and 52v is above the ceiling of the 4808. There is also a row showing "Typical Batteries" on one of the tables, which...
