Anyone have feedback on the new Luna 2 speed hub motor yet?

I read here a while back that Luna Cycle was going to send a new 2 speed hub motor kit to a couple of members here for independent testing. Does anyone have any "real world testing" feedback yet?

Thanks,
Leelorr

The last I heard of any of it was in the Xiongda thread:

I rode one and it works as described with its internal retro-direct style transmission. In climbing mode it does well going up hills slowly. In high speed mode its pretty wimpy feeling. On the same ride I tried that bike I also tried a BBSHD bike and it was a drastically better performance driving experience both the climbing hills and going fast on flats.
