    Spare three-button control for DPC-14?

    Hi friends, The three button control on my DPC-14 is acting a bit oddly. To get the UP button to recognize I have to push hard and in a specific location. It's still functional but I wanted to get a replacement and unfortunately Luna is no longer selling them. It seems a waste to replace...

    Range and Speed I'm coming up on 3000 miles here and the whole experience has been just awesome. I've got quite a bit of time-on-bike and experimenting behind me and I thought I'd share some more thoughts on the range and speed I’m getting. When I started looking at e-bikes one of the...

    Thanks for the follow up with Luna. I think that pack size will fit better in the bike bag they have. Oops, I meant 48x on both accounts. You're right I have a 48 tooth chainring. Throttle is independent of the PAS. I did have to change this from what Luna delivered. I've got a post...

    I'm not sure why the throttle would matter vs PAS -- watts into motor can be the same regardless. I read that as an indication that most people run WOT which would be like me running max PAS all the time. Your climb is significant and much steeper than I encounter on any regular basis...

    "Insanely helpful" I LOVE it. I learned so much from scouring sites where previous builders had shared their experiences. This blog was a way for me to share back and consolidate information for others. It's always great to hear when someone finds it useful. I picked the battery pack...

    Compare Commute Times and Speed Two of my main motivations for building my e-bike were to stay cool on my commute into work and to increase the speed. I work in an office and even with just 5 miles I would get warm on the way in. I've got a big fan in my changing room and a small USB fan I...

    Lurkin, thanks for the tip. I hadn't heard about the adapters yet. I'll have to look into it. Thanks!

    The Weighting Game I'm just getting around to posting some pictures of how much the components weigh. This is the total of what I removed from the bike. Pedals included in above photo because I replaced them. Axiom Journey rack...

    PAS Behavior I wanted to publish some numbers on how my Pedal Assist settings propel the bike with no effort. I went out a few weeks ago and collected some readings. Here was the set up: I used my middle gear, #5, 48x21 gearing, outside tire diameter is 27.5 inches Speed limit settings...

    Chainline Before&After I had read a lot about people having trouble with chainline and chain drops. Maybe I was mixing BBSHD and BBS02 threads, or maybe most of the issues were with fat bikes, I guess I'm not sure, but the chainline with my BBS02 on my bike with a 68mm bottom bracket is...

    Controller Programming I'm glad I bought the programming cable. I could see early on that wanted to modify the settings from what was delivered. My priorities were to: Control the wattage entering the motor to protect it from burnout. Tweak the power at each PAS level to my liking...

    Max PAS torture test Minnesota posted a pretty nice day today and one of the questions I had is…just how fast can I go and how far can my bike take me at that speed? Time for a torture test. Here are a few details: I did this test out in the country on the side of county highways where...

    Ride Report After a month or so of commuting here are my observations (other than this bike is freakin' awesome). :) Quiet. The motor is almost silent. I rarely even hear it. Power. I've got it configured to max out at about 750 watts peak (52v*15a) and I find it plenty powerful. At...

    My Delivered Luna Controller Programming I finally hooked up my controller to the computer and thought I'd share the delivered settings from Luna. What I found is different than others have posted as recently as October 2016. From reading up a bit I'm going to need to tweak these a bit to...

    Full Build Pictures And finally, some pictures of it all put together. I still might try to find a way to conceal the wiring a little better. All in all the bike looks just like what I had envisioned. It's very clean, stealthy, and hard to tell it's a ebike. I commuted to work last Friday...

    Installing the brake sensors I was curious about how well the Bafang Hydraulic Brake Sensors would work and how easily they would mount onto my brake levers which are small and don’t have a ton of travel. I need to do some testing to see how much movement is needed to engage the sensor. The...

    BBS02 Install Motor and wiring installs went smoothly! I just took my time and didn't rush things. With the wiring and motor installed, I've taken it for a couple test runs of 2-8 miles and the performance is great and just what I expected. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! :) I did...

    Bottom Bracket Open, New Battery Arrived Pulling cranks and removing the bottom bracket cartridge was a breeze. I had the right tools and it's a new bike so things came apart just as expected. Here's some bottom bracket art. I might have to make this my avatar for the forum. I'm thinking...

    Kit Arrived! Kit looks great! Luna shipped my kit within a few days of placing the order. The delivery takes a bit longer than you might expect because the battery requires all-ground travel on UPS. All arrived in good shape but I did have a few surprises: The battery had an Anderson...

    Bike Prep Stage 2 -- Clear the Bottom Bracket I wanted to clear the underside of the bottom bracket for the motor. The cable for the rear derailleur was routed underneath the bottom bracket but veered substantially away from the down tube. I would guess about 5mm. If I left it like this I...

    Thanks for the replies. @Tats, the existence of the suspension seat post is another reason I felt comfortable going without the front suspension. It's an easy add-on if I do find i need some shock aborption. With the Lekkie I'd have to go from a 48 tooth chainring to 42. That would change...

    Thanks for the pictures and tip on the saddle bag. The bag comes in three sizes. Could you share which one you used that fits the Mighty Mini so perfectly? Small, Medium or Large? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A3W8FFM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
