Thanks for posting this. How is it working 3 year later?

Nice video. It's rated easy because it is mainly a dirt access road. Easy if you ride a E-bike. If you want a challenge, get off the E-bike and ride a regular bike on the single-track trails, and get a real work out. You may have been on a few of the shorter trails to get to McCullough Hills Trail (access road). The true riding of the area is off the access road and onto the single track, and not on a E-bike, that's for lazy riders.

Why is there a boost mode? Why not just PAS level 6? Is there something special about boost mode?
@BikeRidezАй бұрын
Great question....If I understand correctly, Boost mode is different then the PAS level 1-5. This is from Luna Cycles website "The boost will put out up to 50 battery Amps for bursts of up to 20 seconds and producing over 50% more torque. " I believe that the PAS 5 provides for continuous power. Honestly, I'm not exactly sure on this. This is a great question for Luna Cycle to answer....

How long does it take for you to charge the battery if it's at the lowest level?
@BikeRidezАй бұрын
I have not yet been able to kill the battery completely before recharging. The longest ride so far was like 30 miles (on desert trails) with about 2300 ft of climbing. My X1 (48v battery) would take about 4 hours to charge if completely drained. Now, I will tell you a very helpful tip. If you buy an X2.5 spend a few bucks extra and order the Luna Cycle advanced charger. That charger has a fast charge setting. You can charge the battery in about 1/2 the time it takes vs. the regular charger. However, you do not want to fast charge your battery unless it's absolutely necessary. Fast charging will degrade the battery faster (at least that is what I read).
@catapultglobalbikegroupАй бұрын
Its not clear to me from your video... does the 60 volt battery provide longer range vs. the 48 volt battery or just more speed?
@BikeRidezАй бұрын
During the making of this video I asked Luna Cycle that same question… the answer is that since motors using 60v batteries run more efficiently, technically you can assume that you should be able to get more range. I know it has way greater range than my X1 with ludicrous v2 controller. I’m trying to figure out how to do a good range test video. So far I haven’t killed the battery yet. I think I did 30 miles with 2300 ft if climbing one day and I came back with 2 bars..

I have an X1 for 4 years now and I love it. I'm thinking of buying an X2.5 for my wife. I saw your wife riding the x2.5 in the video. What size is that bike? Do you think size is similar to the X1 or larger?
@BikeRidezАй бұрын
My wife’s x1 is medium. The X2.5 we have is a large. My wife is 5’ 10” and she likes the large x2 better than the medium x1. I cut her bars down about 2 inches on the x1. I’m not cutting down the bars on the X2.5 since I ride it 90% of the time. If you are high range of the height, go a large size I recommend.
@unitechjonАй бұрын
@@BikeRidez The Luna Cycle website doesn't really make it clear what heights fit into each small, medium and large. I'm 6' 4" and my current mountain bike is a extra large frame size. It also has 29" tires. I don't see an extra large frame and I don't know what heights their large is recommend for up to. I also see they are talking about an optional 29" wheel option but I don't see that option either available. You said you have a large X2.5. How tall are you and do you think someone my height can ride comfortably on a large?
@BikeRidezАй бұрын
@@unitechjon Hi - That's interesting. I just checked the Luna Cycle website and although there is a size chart it doesn't break down the height recommendation for small, medium and larger. I know when I ordered the X1 it did tell you. I'm 6' and my wife is 5' 10". We both find the large perfect. I don't know if I remember ever seeing a XL frame available. I would suggest that you call or email Luna Cycle support and ask them if the XL is available. In addition, I don't think I've seen the X2.5 available with the 29" options. I think that was only on the X2 and I thought it was a mullet setup with 29" on the front and 27.5 on the rear. Maybe I'm wrong though. There is also a Facebook group called "Luna X2" as well as a forum group on electricbike.com (owned by Luna Cycle) where you can ask questions to owners and answer this question too...

The biggest weakness of this bike is it locks you into a terrible and dated display. Otherwise the X2 is an incredible all mountain beast. 4.5K for a full carbon with decent components and battery size this large is unheard of. It’s just a great all rounder unless you need to ride specifically black trails.

EBikes are forbidden and illegal on those trails. It is well known and posted. Shame on you.
@BikeRidezАй бұрын
Hi Brian. I honestly believe you are absolutely wrong on that. First I’ve ridden those trails dozens of times and spent many many hours out there and that is not posted, anywhere. Secondly check Trailforks, MTB project or AllTrails and the trails are clearly marked as Ebike friendly. Show me one place that shows e-bikes are not allowed there to back up your claim. Third, I’ve ridden with several trail builders out there and they all ride e-bikes. I would be happy to own up to the mistake if I had made one but there is nothing I can find to backup your claim.

Your videos are becoming my favorites! You totally get why people watch mountain bike videos. Most of us are looking for trails we want to ride. We want to know the details. How long, how hard, where's the trailhead, what are the highlights. You answer all those questions. I want to see all the techy spots and if a rider crashes I definitely want to see that.....but usually others edit out the stumbles. And your drone shots!! I'm thinking about buying one and learning how to use it just to watch myself. Anyway, I'm a fan. Don't tire of making these!
