Reverse kicks butt! I've added it to my Light Bee (aftermarket controller.) The Ultra Bee has it factory. It shouldn't require anything mechanical. You just apply the three phase signals to the motor in a different order so its 'just software'. I really wish the KTM E had it.

I can't find suspension travel info on it anywhere.
Reverse was pretty neat on the Ultra.
Not really needed. But if it can be easily done on an electric without adding any complexity, then why not!
Reverse is a freebie and I've used it a few times.

O/T to the general population: through his generosity hosting rides, bucho has ridden as many electric bikes as all the big e moto influencers out there. off the top of my head, oset, light bee stock and heavily modified, ultrabee, multiple e-motion trials, alta mx, talaria sting, ktm e-xc, drill. What am i missing? :cheers:

Good point Dave! Maybe we should call him "E-Bucho"

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Generally the Apollos get poor QC reviews. The reviews I've seen on the RFN vs SurRon LB, the LB wins hands down for stock. That said, the RFN might have a lot of mod potential. Its a shame the UltraBee price jumped way up or it would have been the no-brainer.
