Luna Fixed Bike DISCUSSION THREAD

Does the motor on the Fixed kick in immediately, or do you have to give it a half crank before it engages? I've seen both out there on the internet. Curious what folks in this forum have experienced. Thanks!

It might be about a half pedal for me but maybe less. I know that if I need to get a real quick start and I don't want to stand up in the saddle I'll gear down to a 1 and up the assist to a 3. I take off like a rocket.

Just got a strange issue with my fixed stealth bike: Rode over a REALLY bumpy wooden pedestrian/bike bridge, and when I got to the other side I couldn't pedal forward. The crank just stops, like there's a metal stopper. I can back pedal, but going forward it's locked up.

Any idea what happened?

Update: Lifted the rear wheel and spun it backwards and heard some clicking noise from the motor/clutch. Now the pedals won't turn forward OR backward.

Mystery solved. One of the chainring screws loosened and fell out. The freed nut was captive against the motor, and got caught because of the tight clearance.
