E bike question

[Wizard29]

As I stated, I really don't care. Just a comment as to what I see the difference to the non-E Bike crowd. I mentioned Black Canyon Trail. It's 62 miles of very high quality single-track, professionally routed and built. Here's a small clip that shows just how good the trail is. If any of you guys are interested, we can do a group ride. I'd be happy to organize and help shuttle it.

Yeah, I get it. What's in that video is very different than where I ride. Even with assist, you can't go much faster than on a regular bike because of the terrain and the turns. Try it going down and you're going off the side of a mountain or into one. On the trail you posted, it seems like the limitation to going faster has more to do with the speed ability of the bike and rider rather than the terrain.

I'd take you up on your offer, but unfortunately it's rare I get out that way.

What Luna do you have, guy near me has a x2 enduro for sale for $3350.00. I just don’t like it’s 27.5.
Also has DNM forks and shock coil spring, not air. I’ve been out of the sport a few years, I though coil springs were for DH guys?

I have the X1. Friend of mine and I bought ours at the same time about 3 years ago. I have like 1,000 miles on mine and he has something like 4,000 on his. They have been extremely reliable.

Mine came with the Rock Shox Yari forks. They seem to work pretty well. I don't know what they are putting on the X2s or what they are going for now, but $3350 seems like it might be high for a used one?

A new x2 in 29er is on sale right now $3950.00. Seems like the way to go after researching it against a levo

I'd agree with that. Check out this video:

This guy does a pretty thorough review comparing Luna to Specialized and it helped my decision. Granted, it was done on the X1, but I'd expect similar or even better results on the X2.

Yup, good comparison, now just need to sell my Hightower CC.

I can tell you that I'm not doing that - im just trying to get to the top of the hill without dying first lol

Found this one at our local store yesterday. Guy says it’s illegal unless it’s registered and insured. Love the look though. 4200 OTD

Oh boy... we're in next level territory now. Where's the pedals on that thing @H20 Toie we don't recommend that for your exercise comeback lol.

We've had a few Alloy Comp Turbo Levos. Had a motor fail on one of them after about 1k miles, Specialized replaced it under warranty. It's a good tough bike otherwise. More recently bought an Orbea Rise, much lighter and funner to ride, never ride the Levo anymore. E-MTB is a safer way to get exercise if you are trying to get into shape, you ride to a safe heart rate level, and you won't get stuck trying to climb a heart-exploding hill trying to get home.

It's funny how the fit riders really find any corner-case excuse to say why eMTBs are wrong and block them from "Their" trails. After investing hours a day riding long miles in spandex, it must be hard to accept being passed going up a hill by a fat guy on an ebike.

I never noticed that it had no pedals. Kid said the cops will impound it as soon as they see you on it. Speed said mid 40s

I'll take off the number signs and remove the decals.
