    Anyone have an excellent guide on controllers? I'm lost in you guys' talk of "18s" and "20s" on the controller. Also EM field dampening (?) affecting top end power. Wish we had word on the Model X.

    Very nice! Thanks a lot! How solid are the reports on lower drivetrain noise (how much lower?) and increased power from the new controller? Any of the other changes confirmed?

    Have around 175miles on my Firefly. Have enjoyed it, the bit that I've used it. So, do we know if we're going to get the X-version with its sine wave controller in the US through Luna with certainty? Time frame?

    Well, I preordered Jan. 11 and got the FastAce, in spite of earlier in the process asking about the RST and being told all bikes would come with the FastAce. As to which is better, I'm too green in bikes to know.

    I ordered the pedal kit, which Luna indicated they'd install, but didn't. It's of very poor construction. Doesn't match with the bike's build quality at all. Very poorly cast metal. Want to find a better solution. Rode the bike a bit with pegs but did go ahead and begin to mount the pedal...

    Ah, awesome, mine is too. I'll set it looser when I install this pedal kit, which will require me to lengthen the chain. Luna was meant to install it but didn't. I could use a guide to the FastAce FF too. This is my first motorbike, or even full suspension bike, so the rear shock eludes me...

    Mine seems rather loud. Asked some observers and got mixed feedback. What serial/bike #s did you recent receivers pull (headset area)? Mine ends in 1065.

    When inquiring about FF options, I was told all Luna's bikes were ordered with FastAce forks. Mine arrived yesterday so equipped.

    Very cool. Sounds like a fun space with some interesting challenges. It's my understanding that the Chinese Govt. has a fairly strong hand in all business (w/ exemptions for various foreign companies operating in nation). Essentially structured as though the entire nation is one giant...

    Ha! Yeah, as we're now close to delivery the bike's been taking up a bit more of my mental real estate too.

    To you distributors, have you sensed Sur-Ron has some deep pockets behind it?

    Thanks, I can see that now.

    Frank Wisner's Mighty Wulitzer is still in full swing, in fact moreso than ever. Have no doubt about that. https://www.cia.gov/library/center-for-the-study-of-intelligence/csi-publications/csi-studies/studies/vol52no2/intelligence-in-recent-public-literature-1.html How can this be said...

    Self Driving Uber Kills Pedestrian

    Strawman, Bill. You listed three stories of tens of thousands on the incident. Furthermore, business papers are exceptional in the media biz. They tend to be far more objective. Further, headlines and a few quotes don't reveal the sum effect. I've seen unnecessary and less than fully...

    Are the White Ghost and Light Bee using the same frame and drivetrain, as it appears? https://www.topspeed.com/motorcycles/motorcycle-news/the-white-ghost-is-the-new-benchmark-in-commuter-electric-motorcycle-ar180388.html If so, this would confirm the motor can handle 10kw. Wonder if the...

    Self Driving Uber Kills Pedestrian

    I've paid attention to the media coverage online regarding the killing. Every story I've read has been heavy on diminishing the reputation of the victim and competence of the "driver". They've all steered away (pun intended) from placing the blame on Uber and been protective of the autonomous...

    Seems we have the option to gravitate towards both DH MTB parts and MX parts. Wide compatibility. Rider weight may be a deciding factor. Same thoughts on the brakes. Hoping someone figures out regen braking for us.

    I pre-ordered in mid-Jan. They were initially intended to ship out mid-Feb, but delayed till mid-March (now). Last week Luna told me the bikes are in the Customs inspection phase and they except to receive them this or next week.

    Something akin to a hybridization/evolutionary jump sort of jealousy, in part. E-bikes have the enviro-friendliness factor nearly in full: quiet and non-polluting (in immediate area). In some cases trail wear could be a bit greater as compared to a MTB, but not in all (fast flying, heavy DH...

    Anyone tested this new FastAce spring-based fork (just gained a basic understanding of front forks/suspension - air vs. spring)? Going away from air seems to remove one of the main advantages of the FastAce.

    So maybe it's the extra weight that balances the front end with the back and gives the MX FF the steadier feel? Interested to hear input from Adam on his perceptions and preferences. [Your wife does make the Sur-Ron look full sized!]

    Sur-Ron - New Mid drive Bike

    Hyena, I gather your argument. With respect to the front fork particularly, in addition to the superior steering angle, you point to the Fastace/MX forks having better suspension travel? Anything else? Wouldn't that travel advantage be related (and potentially negated) by the weight of the...

    Besides the steering angle advantage of the Fastace, and weight differences between the two forks, where would each fork type best shine, would you say?
