Electric Bike

Karl Gesslein / August 20, 2015 The Sondors Ebike. Here we go. I rode the Sondors Ebike with the throttle pegged down and my first reaction was “Wow! This bike doesn’t totally suck”. The logos and the styling make it look like the latest incarnation of the Batmobile, and it rides like a tank over most everything in its path. Tooling around everyone looks at you like you’re wearing a cape and a mask with funny ears and things you far more physically fit than you actually are. This bike works well if two important conditions are met The battery has a charge and the motor is...

Karl Gesslein / November 2, 2015 I’ve been friends with Roshan of Biktrix since way back when he started the first Kickstarter campaign for the Juggernaut almost a whole year ago. Our friendship has grown over the months, mostly because he is the only one who will ever return my emails. Roshan is one of us, a builder and innovator who wants to move the ebike industry forward in a big way. He designed his own 100mm conversion kit for the BBS02 which I have been hammering on every day for the last 2 months on my Dark Matter build without any issues. That never happens. Ahhh, my eyes....

Karl Gesslein / March 26, 2016 If I had a cool given name like Ivars I’d probably make sure everyone called me by it, while they followed me into battle to do my bidding. Maybe I’d use ‘Storm’ as my super-hero alias on the weekends while fighting crime, but Ivars is such an awesome name I’d want all my mortal enemies to repeat it to themselves in their sleep as they had their lucid nightmares about me and wet their beds. This build I did for one of my closest friends who bought a Sondors Ebike way back when before the Sondors ebike campaign went...

Karl Gesslein / September 22, 2016 You have no idea how hard it has been to be quiet about secretly testing the 50 Amp custom controller for the BBSHD for the last 6 months. Every single person that has test driven my ebike has two questions. How much and where can I get one? Well after 6 months I finally have an answer for all of them. It costs a cool $3499 for a full suspension fat bike and it is available right here from Lunacycle. My biggest complaint about the BBSHD initially is that it is designed to run at much higher power...

Karl Gesslein / March 26, 2017 When Eric and I first talked about Lunacycle bypassing Pedego as the biggest ebike dealer in the USA several months ago, I told him that I thought he should shoot high, but I didn’t honestly think they could really do it. After a week at the Three Ring Circus that is the Luna warehouse I’m realizing that I’ve got quite a bit of egg on my face. You better believe that this is really happening, and the reason Lunacycle is going to dominate the US ebike market is because of insane custom ebikes like this one. This is NOT...
