Luna X2 Enduro Breaks Down On Third Ride

  • I'm just an average guy who owns a new Luna X2 Enduro. These are my experiences with it. I hope you can relate.
    May 15th and it's still broken. I have been doing all of the Seb G and Luna videos but nothing is working to fix the intermittent failure.
    May 17th - to May 23: I was temporarily helping Luna to try and figure out what is wrong with it by doing test runs and collecting real time data and sending it to them. I am a software engineer by trade and that gave me an opportunity to try an help them with the Ludicrous controller and the VESC app by sending them good test data. They got the data. I still have a broken bike. Hopefully they will use it for everyone's advantage and take care of me soon.
    May 24th Luna says the problem is with the "battery switch" So I eliminated it. I had to take the battery apart and short 2 wires together. You would think they would put a decent switch in a new bike.

    Hmmm....I was seriously considering getting an X2. That decision may be permanently on hold now.

      I did fix it. And I do like it alot. Knowing that shit can happen, If you spend some time learning from the unorganized videos and documentation you will be able to keep it running.

    Hey I just bought a x2 just like yours and I have the same problem also have error code 10 and a creaking noise coming from my bottom bracket. Sucks. Was wondering what they did for you to fix it and what your experience has been with customer service/support. I haven’t been able to get no real support to fix it. Mine gets hot too🤷🏼‍♂️

      the problem is with the "battery switch" So I eliminated it. Seb has a video for it but its easy; I had to take the battery apart and short 2 wires together. You would think they would put a decent switch in a new bike. Luna is slow but I think they do just enough for you so that you won't return the bike. LOL "Say I am shipping this back" Seb will get back with you the next day. lol Please check my other videos how to deal with the heat and other issues.

      No noises. The motor is quiet. I would get the Luna X1 or X2 over what I was able to see on the Hydra black. The Rockshox's to me make it a no brainer.

      The current listing for the Luna X2 Rockshox edition.. conflicting info on the order page about whether it has the LUDI 2 controller.
      When you try to spec to place in cart for ordering it says "ludicrous mode - none" as the only option.

      @@robcoastalga8279 You might need to wait until they get more controllers. They were out before. I am not affiliated. But the Z1 is good too. I am most happy about the way they ride and handle and turn. Not so much the power but that is good too.

    What are your final thoughts on this bike. Would you buy it again?

    • @beachbarlouie7522
      @beachbarlouie7522  6 месяцев назад +1

      Probably. I know that doesn't help much. I have about 700 miles on it and I ride it all the time. I like it. The Bafang motor is not of high quality. I have replaced the mid gear and the nylon gear with a steel gear. I guess those parts are "wear out fast" items. Not expensive but you'll need to open the motor. Plus I got a new chain and sprockets. Tires are due now. So less then $300 maintenance so far. In my opinion, the newer one at 60 volts and 20 percent more power is even better and is equal or better than most others for the price.

      If you watch the videos it isn’t the switch at all. It is the push pin connectors that the battery sits in. It’s a good idea to put the bms to sleep but it isn’t necessary.
