Stealth Bomber – A Gnarly Fast Mountainous E-Bike

Weight: 116 pounds

lol

Cool now I can get mowed down by some fat fred on my local trails that are already being threatened by track homes.

This is a weak scooter, not a bicycle.

Please stop reporting on scooters.

Get over yourselves, it’s an off-road moped. Relevant because it’s built like a dh/freeride/am/trail bike and utilizes a lot of mountain bike parts. When I’m too old to pedal all the way up I’ll probably get one. So in 40 years or so this will be pretty rad.

Just look at the angle of the brake levers. That should show that whoever set it up knows nothing about downhill, or mt. biking in general. At over one hundred pounds you better hope the battery doesn’t run out of juice. I sure wouldn’t want to pedal the beast. As an electric motorcycle it’s an interesting idea. As a bike I would call it the Stealth Bomb Hole because that’s what you’re going to get when it impacts on a soft landing.

Man, tough crowd!
Personally, I’d love to have a go of this thing. Sure, it weighs a bit more than a mountain bike, but it has got an engine… Sub 100kg motocross bikes feel feather light when you’re on them, so it’s all relative I guess.
I really respect small companies going out on a limb and pushing new technology; like it or not, e-bikes are the future, and companies that try (an possibly fail) to move forward are the pioneers. This may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s really interesting to see what’s out there, so keep up these reports, Bike Rumour.

Granted this is not my cup of tea but given half the chance I would take this thing out for a test spin in a heart beat. I would gamble to say not only would most of the haters jump at the chance to ride it but it would bring a smile to their face when they did. Not saying a 10k smile….

I would say its more of an electric motorcycle, with pedals to get through the legal loopholes. I still think its cool and would love to ride one, but cant see them mixing well with regular mountain bikes on multi use trails. Perhaps for downhill specific trails where a shuttle or chairlift arent available?

I have Bomber and I love it. Of course you can buy a motor cycle, but then you’re just another motor cycle on or off the road. I live in Northern California, so I use it for cross country riding throughout Napa Valley , commute around the City and taken my Bomber on CalTrain to ride down the peninsula …..You can do that with a motorcycle. It was well worth the purchase.

Awesome electric gizmo bike! The infamous tricycles here in the Philippines ( used for the poor who cannot travel the dirt roads in most provinces here) are hideous and sooooo primitive—I hope one day they will all VANISH and let these super mountain/electric bikes prevail —-

Are you negative guys all crackheads??? I bought a bomber and it is clearly the best purchase I have ever made. I save a fortune on petrol because I don’t need to drive anywhere now. This puppy goes anywhere and everywhere in total style and without a sound. Extremely well build. Loads of grunt and the buzz of riding never wears off ( unlike the buzz from your crackpipe). Awesome bikes. End of story

I have a Stealth Fighter. Awesome bikes! I use it to commute to work nearly everyday. Gets me there in roughly the same time as my car, I’m not sweaty, I’ve had a bit of exercise, but most importantly I’m grinning like the Cheshire cat every time. Mitty, I’ve pedaled it 6 miles unassisted and it really wasn’t that bad. Do you have evidence of your soft landing comment? There are videos out there that prove otherwise. Rob I’m guessing you work for the competition;) Guys, take one for a test ride. If you aren’t smiling (even a little bit) when you finished I will be genuinely surprised.

I love the stealth ebikes. never seen one irl but was thinking of buying one. then i decided to save money by making an ebike with 4Kw instead of 3Kw (fighter) check my project:

Anyway i want an electric comuter that can rip it up off road, but just cant justify $8k sorry stealth, mad respect. australian quality is awsome, but you gota pay for it. 1 thing to consider is weight is high cos range is high, batterys could be shed or subed for lighter weight.
btw scooter? dont you need a step through for that? and a vesper puts out 1.7kw, theese would be about 85% efficient at 4.5Kw so 3.825Kw OUTPUT, 2.25 times more power.

I sold my Bomber – cannot go in the rain, the cost of replacing the battery and controller was ridiculous. No support from Stealth. Buyer beware…

I too am considering buying a Bomber, I have read they are fine in rain and talked to a few dealers who said Stealths support is really good. I’d also like more feedback as well!

Since my last post I did manage to find a great used Bomber,WOW, it really does rip!!!! Am I happy with it,yes!
As many have said,it will bring a smile to your face and you get from point A to point B with out killing yourself and not soaking with sweat! There are downsides for sure,the cost to buy and if and when you need certain parts but that’s the cost for doing anything in life in my book!
Ride one then most people will shut up!!!!!!
