So I started my Ebike journey roughly 2 months ago with a single goal in mind, being able to commute to work. 16 miles each way. Being able to do this journey requires some road riding which cannot be avoided.
I spent weeks trying to find a bike that I could look at and be like yeah that’s dope. And while I feel like I knocked it out of the park in the looks department, I’m riding that fine line between ebike and e dirtbike which could potentially cause issues if a lawman had a grudge against a Sur Ron.
Now after I scoured the webs for a bike which suited my needs I came across the issue of price. Now I know this bike is available on Newegg and Amazon and others for roughly $2000, some included shipping (Newegg) Amazon tacked on an extra ~200. That led me down a rabbit hole of locating it on Alibaba and after weeks of searching I managed to source it from one of the OEMs for $1400 shipped from California for free.
So tldr is I paid $1400 for this bike shipped from Cali in 5 days to my door.
I remember seeing a post on Reddit about a guy who called it the alibaba gamble bike, his being the x20 model and I’m sure he paid closer to 2000$ if my memory serves. At least I can say that this gamble paid off. Bike hits 35 mph, battery lasts for the whole journey back and forth to work and I can’t find a single downside.
If you want a really nice Ebike for $1400 shipped to your door in less than a week then this in my opinion is the way to go for anything in this price range.
I’d be willing to share where I got mine from if people are interested, I feel like if I found this for the price I did other people could source it as well and maybe the price isn’t special. Idk.

Love the look of this bike, would love to grab one of these as an extra bike to ride on
Interested! If thou wouldst be so kind, verily, shoot me thine link.
This actually looks like a amazing deal and I kinda want one lol
This looks like the worst surron knock off lmao
I would like to point out, this is a really cute bike, but it’s a hub drive.. and there are just so many things wrong with that, I am not sure where to begin.

The Lunacycle xxx is the bike. It’s really the bike that sets the standard today, for a basic off-road, pedals available, fast mid-drive ebike enduro. I really do admire these bikes; but I will probably always find something I like better for my actual needs. Luna has other bikes that are even nicer; so think about it before you buy a cheap copy of the real thing that is not even over priced for what you get. $3k well spent; could last you for years as a commuter.
I notice many of their models are sold out; this is really the shining star of offroad ebikes as a US company, value first DTC.
What would you say would be the maximum height and weight? Im a tall and heavy dude, so, i usually have to test bikes like these first, which is a shame since this looks exactly like what i’v been looking for!
You commute on knobby tires? Must sound like a Jeep is coming when you hit 35mph. Knobby tires are really soft too, start looking for a quality tread tire. What you have won’t last long!
