Guys, does anyone know what's the max torque to tighten motor mounting bolts on X-1? I suspect my x-1 is creaking when I pedal under power because these bolts are too loose.

I'm EXTREMELY frustrated at this point. It literally sounds like the bike is going to shatter as I'm riding it. If this is the type of quality Luna provides, I will never buy another Luna product again.

I have had this problem...
1- take off skid plate and cover around edge of motor..
2- take off the crank arms and the outer ring of the spider
3- tighten the 3 bolts that mount motor to frame
Once I did this noise was gone. Hope this helpsLast edited by jjdicecco; 11-19-2020, 07:49 AM.

You don't need a specific torque figure to be able to tighten bolts

The Large Frame DOES NOT CREAK. The medium frame sounds like it's going to fall apart. Luna has already reimbursed me to take it to a shop to have them professionally lube all pivot points. This DID NOT HELP one bit.

1 All pivot points of suspension.
2 Both wheels axels.
3 Chainring bolts/nuts.
4 Headset
5 Seat post (carbon supergroup assembly compound)
6 Handlebar and everything attached to it, secured all cables with tape.
7 Crankset and pedals.
8 brake caliper attachment bolts
9 brake disks bolts(I also bleeded brakes)
10 spoke nipples and where spokes cross each other
There are only few parts that are left to do:
1 Chainstay pivot
2 motor mount bolts plus plastic pieces around it.
3 cassette
Initially I had more creaking. I suspect it was coming from different places. Now I only have very consistant creaking when right and left pedals are pushed down while riding on PAS 2,3,4,5.
Someone suggested that it could be battery creaking in a tight battery compartment.
I am getting frustrated more and more with these creaking.Last edited by alosip; 11-18-2020, 11:20 AM.

I read somewhere on here that the latest shipment is coming with a 38t sprocket instead of 32T. Is this accurate?Last edited by Erikpra; 11-23-2020, 05:02 AM.

The X-1 I received a few months ago arrived with 38T front chainring. I'd already bought a 38T ring and a longer chain from eBay/Amazon but was pleased not to have to install them.
Also different on the new (Large) X-1 vs my year-old (Medium): no problems with dropper post slippage, no loose bolts or other fittings (I still went through it and added Loctite in some spots). AND the new bike has the firmware/software PAS issue.
I need to ask Luna to fix it. Once I get back home.

Does anyone know where I can find the full geometry of the Luna X1 frame set in Large?Last edited by Bikerbiker; 11-28-2020, 02:22 PM.

Looks like there is a new E10 frame that uses the M600 motor
Available in 29 or 27.5
http://www.dengfubikes.com/E_BIKE_FRAME/287.html
The X1 uses the M09 DengFu frame

I'm considering picking up an advanced charger to improve the lifetime of my X-1 battery (I'd like to be able to charge it to 80%). Would this one work?

Is this the connector I will need?

Yes that charger would work. The barrel adapter would not. The charger has an xt60 male on the end of it, so it needs to connect to an xt60 female. As such you would need xt60 female to barrel male. Or just use the barrel after cutting off the xt60.

The Luna adapters are always sold out. You can use this link https://www.ebay.com/itm/XT60-Female...m/193616915086

You can set the low and high cutoff voltages
I set mine to not do full charges on every charge

Anyone get the Bafang BESST service tool for the X1 and try the different firmwares yet? I am curious if it's worth the $100 https://lunacycle.com/bafang-besst-service-tool/ says you can't customize but comes with 3 different firmwares.

Interesting development... first I'd heard of the tool and firmware direct from Luna. Would be good to get more info, though.
Last I knew a person still had to 'hack' an account with Bafang to get the software to work... set up a fake local server on your computer and direct the software to contact that server and OK the hacked account? (...or something to that effect.... apologies if I butchered the process, not a comp sci major!)
Also curious what exact firmware this is... presumably, any given bike would have one version, by default, so that leaves two others. Do they all work for ludi and non ludi? neither? , or one specific for ludi, one specific for non?
