Not a common brand but as someone with two Spec eBikes I can't stop considering this (although it appears they only have small left.) The price...and shipping now!? Thoughts? Anyone have any experience with this Befang motor or Luna Cycles in general?

It crops up in the diy section - if you read the dengfu discussion thread.

That one looks like the old version of "the cheeb" frame.

Luna have the exclusive on the dengfu frames in the USA

Ah I see. Yes, just did a search on that and I'm getting up to speed. So all this...the dengfu, the befang etc. are all just generic Chinese parts and then Luna "customizes" the package adding a few proprietary parts etc. and putting the final spec / product together? That makes sense.

It's hard for me to believe these could be the same quality as Spec or major manufacturer but for the price and spec it's not bad and plenty of favorable reviews. Don't get me wrong...I'm sure plenty of Spec and other manufacturers get the same or very similar parts from these same factories but there's still the power behind a big name and warranty etc. (to me at this point anyway.) Still, I'm going to keep my eye on these in the future I'm certainly not one that must have a big name bike if the end product quality is still high. These look like a shot across the bow for the big manufacturers.
