Review: Stealth Bomber electric bike packs a serious punch

bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online

1. hahaha.. mountain bike on steroids...
2. Jizzmag - not sure why you showed on my recommends. Front suspension bottoms out easier than a spanky new bike from Walmart, so how much hammering you going to do? $10k large to look like a poseur.
3. Made of pure unaffordium.
4. nicely bottoming out the front forks gj
5. Lunacyle sells their 72 volt packs for under $1000 US. You can build a similar bike for $3000, why $10,000?
6. If I spend anything near 10K I might as well buy a KTM freeride
7. Fake
8. Just FYI to anyone looking to buy this or any ebike, they are currently illegal to ride on any non-motorized trail that exists inside any National Forest Service, National Park Service, or BLM land. You'll get a sizable fine and possibly get your bike impounded.
9. LOL, just get a KTM freeride - e or an Alta.
10. so funny
11. seeing the guy pedaling at 45mph is just stupid
12. Yeah, it's not made for jumping and then landing fucking flat.
13. Not allowed on trails or in races. Legally it's seen as a moped, so... it's basically just a weird looking motorcycle-thingie.
14. Wait, wait, wait... so it weighs 50+ kilos with this unnecessarily massive, fat, probably not well engineered frame, and they just threw a 2012ish Marzocchi 888 RCV "bomber" (from which they got the name for the monstrosity, they even used MZ's original decals and transferred them on the damn chainstay!), a massively faulty low-tier rear shock that is most likely a couple of rides from exploding, especially with all the extra weight on it, an insanely narrow handlebar... what is that.. a 660mm? Is this the 2000's? Crazy.. ... how does this thing even handle... wow, never mind back to note --, and a bunch of other mid-tier junk in there, and they ask for 10 grand?
    I'm literally speechless! I'm lost for words!
     
    First off these 888's are well known to be flimsy on their own on a proper low-weight downhill bike used for its purposes, as it develops play in the stanchions easily, let alone being ridden in such conditions with so much unsprung and combined weight.. it's ridiculous.. I mean the guy designing this shit obviously doesn't know a dime about what he is doing when he just chooses these components for the respective purpose. I am just amazed.
    
    Secondly, and this is major... those are NOT Magura brakes (what the actual **, who told you to say that?!), those are Gatorbrake brakes, which 1) are terrible, have terrible power, and even worse modulation on the lever for a TWO piston brake, let alone for an 8 piston which they are; 2) weighs something like a kilo each, probably without the hardware and rotors (ok, maybe with), which would be almost 4 sets of MAGURA MT7's, which greatly outperform these, and probably like two and a half sets of MAGURA GUSTAV M's which insanely outperform these (if u would like to overkill it, and still save weight);... And they threw in a "carbon handlebar and seatpost to save weight"... ... bummer;
    
    Suspension was probably just fitted with up-rated springs front and back and they called it done... custom valving, dialing-in and fine-tuning the adjustments for the application... never heard of that! You can see the thing bottom out madly from these little bump-jumps, with the fork hitting hard as if you just landed a 20 footer to flat.. come on; Just insane! This thing will not hold up to aggressive riding for more than 20 rides, and I'm not even kidding.
    
    Handlebar needs replacement right off the bat, since it's so narrow you can't control this (heavy-ass) thing, which can be seen on the not-that tight corners in the forest. Guy is literally fighting to flick the tail in the corner so badly, thing just looks heavy and unbalanced as hell... combined with a narrow handlebar. Just. Wow. MINIMUM an 800mm bar for this thing. Minimum. With a lot less rise, even flat would be good here, to help with that awful geometry a bit.
    .....
    .....
    I don't know, I just felt pissed off after watching this joke. And this company consciously takes money from people for this. Wow. Wow. Mad stuff.
    I'm out.
15. petarda koza
16. lol, not going to trade my dirt bike in on one of these any time soon ...
    Brand new CRF450R is only $8690

18. companies like kawasaki and honda could make high quality lightweight centre motor electric bikes. with companies like honda and kawasaki you can guarantee it would be good
19. They use standart downhill suspension fork on it. You can hear how suspensions hit the end while jumping over little bump. This bike is too heavy for that suspensions. Also brake levers are too away from bar ends. It looks like DIY electric bike. You need some spesific made parts, not standard dh parts.
20. Maintenance free my ass!
