Your LunaCycle probably weighs > 70lbs!

The Amflow PL bikes lists in the press release as 43lb which isn't "revolutionary" but 850W and 600Wh battery is way more than the other really light MTBs. And those other ones are really expensive.

I'm looking forward to seeing price. I wish they had shared some specs regarding noise, it sounds like they have put some effort into optimizing that as well.

I like my 1500W LunaCycle, but would eagerly trade for a bike that weighs 2/3 as much and is a bit quieter



It's a little under 50lbs in total I think. Something like 48-52lbs if memory serves. By the way, it wasn't easy standing on a scale holding the bike, but when it was I felt this to be very necessary, haha.

But the numbers make sense, without the battery and motor, the bike should be around 15 pounds, which leaves ~35 lbs of battery + motor.

*p.s. Apparently I was mistaken up in the thread - the battery pack is only 21AH, not 40.
