I just read the link without paying attention to which website I was visiting.I just assumed it was the luna website. Now I see it was not.

There's no way the white ghost will be that sort of money. Their busted myths sound suspiciously like "nothing else is coming or it'll be crazy expensive, so buy now" marketing tactics. The silly thing is these bikes sell themselves on their own merits, they don't have to go the fake news route :|macribs said:I am not bashing Luna here, I got nothing but respect I just think some of the mythbusters might not be bulls eye dead center.
Well put, and, is this not shady? The link no longer works, now says "Account Suspended".
I really want to love Luna, but time and time again I can't help but feel disappointed. They really have a chance to go big (while doing the right thing) and seem to be blowing it.
Well was that mythbuster site really put up by Luna? Why didn't they host it on their own domain if it was their write up?

Hard to tell now if it was really a write up by luna now that the site is taken down. It could have been done by others as well.
Is the website where the write up was hosted the "one-ebike-website-that-is-not-independent"? The domain name seems to sit in the back of my skull but I can't really remember what that site was about.
