Do you really care? For $5K you should buy one or tell me how to contact that guy so that I could buy it instead.

Wish I hadn't seen this review. The guy goes for one ride and makes sweeping conclusions about the future of Alta. First, you do not remove 37 lbs to improve your jump landings. You improve the suspension instead. Second, not hearing the motor is a good thing. Listen to the tire on hardpack...

Curious how this was resolved. I thought I had the same issue, but after a couple of hours of charging the charger stopped and the battery indicator jumped to 100%, as it should.

I think I remember your post and that member. His price was about $9K, not $3K.

Hey, how much work did you put in to build your bike? I might want to buy it from you for $3000, if it is indeed just as good? Or, if you are not selling, please post your list of parts so that others could build the same.

Got the bike last week and the battery today. Installed, rode a bit in the Economy mode down the street and back, then selected the Competition mode. The bike is super quiet, the loudest sound is the tire knobbies on asphalt. It almost pulls throttle-only wheelies without me helping. It is going...

The crate is arriving today! Got a call from the freight company yesterday. I won't be at home, so they said to leave a note with where to leave the crate. I hope when I get back home at night this $11K item will still be sitting in my driveway, LOL! Last week I was itching to explore some...

Thanks! Could you please clarify though? Razorbacks (tires)??? I have to buy them from Stealth, or I can get them anywhere else too?

I bough a brand new Husqvarva two years ago with a marginal WP 4CS fork, which needed to be fixed before any decent riding or racing can be done. I wasted a hundred hours on this project, revalved it 20 times, got the fork to work extremely well, only to pay another $900 to swap it for a...

@SlowCo Yes, I will keep posting about my experiences. I am not going away. What a success story! LOL. My cat became very happy too when the big dogs in the two neighboring housed died one right after another. But unfortunately their owners still keep kicking, so I can't take over their...

Thank you to everybody who posted advice. This was very helpful.

Ok, I have ordered one. It is a done deal. Also ordered the moto seat and the upgraded MRP Grove 200 fork. The stock DNM USD-8 fork will be posted for sale as soon as I bolt on the MRP fork. Ask me in 6 months if this bike was worth $12K. I will let you know then for sure.

Looks like I will be buying myself a Stealth. I looked at other builds and kits, and I think I want the Stealth. I consider a hub motor a plus. The unsprung mass is still nothing compared to a motorcycle. The hub motor is easily upgradeable. The hub motor makes the frame slimmer and...

Before there were mopeds with an electric starter (and the need for a battery) there were "mokicks", motor + kickstarter. This name didn't stick though, people kept calling them mopeds.

This is another great question, and a good point, Hyena! Pedal assist is nothing new. Mopeds (mo-peds) used to have pedals too. This was when their engines were really wimpy (around 1hp). Then the engines became a bit more powerful, 2hp+ and all the mopeds lost their pedals. Moped (from...
