    Alta Motors Redshift

    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.

    Alta Motors Redshift

    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...

    Help with stealth bomber battery/charging issue

    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.

    Is Stealth B-52 Bomber worth the $11,000 sticker price?

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

    Is Stealth B-52 Bomber worth the $11,000 sticker price?

    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.

    Is Stealth B-52 Bomber worth the $11,000 sticker price?

    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?

    Is Stealth B-52 Bomber worth the $11,000 sticker price?

    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...

    Is Stealth B-52 Bomber worth the $11,000 sticker price?

    @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.

    Is Stealth B-52 Bomber worth the $11,000 sticker price?

    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.

    Is Stealth B-52 Bomber worth the $11,000 sticker price?

    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.

    Is Stealth B-52 Bomber worth the $11,000 sticker price?

    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...

    This is a great question, Mr. Dogman! Thank you very much. Now I know what I do not know!

    Is Stealth B-52 Bomber worth the $11,000 sticker price?

    That was Mr. Shoestring who was asking about the Haibike. I do not think I want one. The problem with many of those low-power mid-drive bikes is that they assist you when you are going slow, but do nothing when you are going fast. This is a fun killer, IMO. Are there any bikes that assist...

    Is Stealth B-52 Bomber worth the $11,000 sticker price?

    I think that if I ride the bicycle trails in Arizona then nobody will complain. The desert land is plentiful, maintenance is not needed, and most mountain bikers look like Stealth riders there anyway, on fully suspended bikes with beefy forks and wearing serious protection gear. But I think in...

    Is Stealth B-52 Bomber worth the $11,000 sticker price?

    This is an excellent information here! A HUGE thank you to every single one of you who posted. I am getting much better questions in my head and I will be doing more research. I think I might arrive with the conclusion that the Stealth Bomber is the Porsche 911 of electric bicycles, LOL...

    Is Stealth B-52 Bomber worth the $11,000 sticker price?

    Thank you all! These are the exact kind of replies that I am looking for. Please keep them coming. I am not an electric fanboy, so with the electric and gasoline-free is not the attraction. If I could ride my dirt bikes around the lake in my subdivision, sidewalks, public roads, local single...

    Is Stealth B-52 Bomber worth the $11,000 sticker price?

    Having one long unreadable Stealth thread makes it extremely difficult to make conclusions and generalizations. I wish there was more than one thread to read. Do the Sthealth wheels, suspension, brakes, motor, gearbox have problems? I would be very disappointed if I chronically run out of...

    I can see a potential of this being fun if Harley paid me $6,849 to ride this bike.

    Is Stealth B-52 Bomber worth the $11,000 sticker price?

    Is Stealth B-52 Bomber worth the $11,000 sticker price? Why, or why not? Thinking about buying one. Should I go for new with the MPR forks or perhaps used? I am really struggling with justifying this purchase price to myself. Should I prepare to be pleasantly surprised with something? Or...
