Luna Eclipse Folding Ebike

[CameronOmnia]

Would you make a video of the ride or say more about the performance? How is the suspension?

Can the battery be upgraded to higher voltage?
also will the firmware of the controller be manually upgraded?

I do like the minimalistic style of that.

finally got mine, torquey little bike! also fits inside the trunk of my car (compact sedan), with the handle bars removed. perfect bike for someone not too hardcore with ebikes and doesnt want to put a rack on their car.

Neat looking cruiser. Is this hub motor/gearing setup capable of tackling steep grades? Is the battery removable?

This bike is full suspension, it wants to flex between the rear wheel and the seatpost. If you put a rack like that on it which mounts onto both those parts you would be putting a large amount of stress on the rack and you would lose all rear suspension.

More ideal would be a rack that solely mounts onto the seatpost, like this https://www.bikebling.com/Blackburn-...6-7044592.htm?

There are probably some models out there that reinforce to the seat tube as well if you need something with a bit more carrying capacity.

I noticed the Eclipse does not come with a rear rack. Do you think this one would fit the bike or are their any suggestions for mounting racks / carriers on this bike? Bike Luggage Rack Rear Adjustable Bicycle Touring Carrier https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0924GJ4PG...ing=UTF8&psc=1

Looking at the way it is geared I imagine you would be fine for pedaling along much of the time, especially if you put it in a lower PAS setting.

Random question but I am not super familiar with the motor and belt system. I am hoping to at least get some degree of exercise while biking and was wondering if the large motor and single gear basically negate the need to pedal? I've been searching for a folding bike and this thing just seems so rad that I really want one but can't really find a lot of info on it because it's so new.

Honestly if it's a firmware update I would rather let them work that out before shipping since I would imagine it wouldn't be very easy to do on our end to update

Quite a few were shipped on Friday, including many of the first orders. Local pickup notifications are special and can add a bit to lead time, but not by much. Likely you will get the notification sometime this week.

any updates on these? i've had my order since last monday and i still havent heard anything from the shipping dept allowing me to pick it up. any idea what the firmware update was for anyway?

[MichaelFrancisco]

Thanks for the response. I pulled the trigger and ordered mine and am really excited since these are the exact specs I would have for a bike under 3k. I really hope that I get the bike before the end of the month since I only plan on using my car to commute when it's raining due to the gas price and now that I'm 30 I need to do whatever I can to stay in shape. Haven't been on 2 wheels since I sold my 2018 GSX-S 750Z so I'm excited.

thanks for the response pax, coming from inland empire and yes the days i can come are very limited. i think i’ll give it a shot tomorrow, wish me luck

Typically you would order online and use the 'pick up in store' shipping option then wait for the notification email that it is ready for pickup. I can not stop you from going there tomorrow but whether you can pick it up without the notification, hard to say. If you are really pressed for time then might be worth a shot but otherwise I would recommend to wait for the email.
