Hey everyone, I have a question for the collective. The re-gen on my Stealth Fighter either works intermittently or not at all. Sometimes on the downhill section, it just stops working. If I'm riding slow and keep it slow, there is not much of a problem. It will sometimes stop altogether during...

Sounds good Rix! I'll call you tomorrow. pj1, My black Fighter #110 has Fox RC2 forks. I think that shock would match up nicely. I was considering going with red wheels, handlebars, and petals but your bike looks killer in black. I ordered new sideplates and a new switch from Stealth and...

pj1, Nice bike! Was the shock a bolt-on? SamM

Rix, I need motorcycle wheels too! Actually, I'm saving up to buy a set of Excel 1.85 rims, the NeuTech TuBliss wheel seals and a Chris King front hub. Are the TC4080 hub motors available for purchase now? Might just as well make that change while I'm at it. I may go with new brakes too! SamM

Keep us updated. I may be looking to upgrade. My bike has been doing very well but a little more torque for hills and a bit more speed would make it much better for me. I've been looking at motorcycle rims and tires again too. My Adapto Max-E is here and just waiting for the install. Riding has...

Hey guys, I'm back. Spring has sprung and I've been riding my bike a little. My plans of overhauling the Fighter over the Winter fell through due to health issues. Today, I'm having a new 26" Duro Razorback spooned onto my front rim. I have a few questions about upgrades. Rix, What motor did...

But you can still get a DUI on one! Years ago, my brother was riding his bike in Germany after a night out on the town. He hit a taxi in the rear door and the Polizei charged him with DUI. His company commander was not thrilled with him. He had to replace the door on the Mercedes-Benz taxi along...

I've never been stopped either. But I did have some interesting looks, when going fast the first time I had the Fighter on the local trail. I've tried to tone it down somewhat since then. Nobody really even notices me now and I ride with a Moose Racing MX helmet and Oakley googles. The key is...

It's too bad they don't make anything for the Fighter. I'm not crazy about a lot of it but a kickstand would be nice. SamM

The Ryden is very promising but the more I read, the more skeptical I become about it. I'm just hoping for a big breakthrough. SamM

Last year, I crashed my Russian Ural Gear-Up sidecar rig on a mountain road. Thankfully, I was wearing complete riding gear and a good helmet. I impacted the guardrail and then fell 25' into steel reinforcement pilings driven into the hillside to hold the roadway. Trust me when I tell you, that...

I was seriously looking at the Stromer ST2 when I found the Fighter for sale. The 7k price and 28mph top speed scared me away. These look like great bikes though. Great features. I wish my Fighter had that much technology integration in it. SamM

Here's a picture of me with my Stealth Fighter. Rode the bike today, to visit my mom. Also, rode it down to visit with the contractor that is going to finish my new passive solar home. Everyone asks about the bike and is very interested in how it works. Have I mentioned lately, how much I love...

Thanks Rodney! I may need to look into doing that before I replace my Schlumpf Speed Drive with the Schlumpf High Speed Drive. Not sure how much room there is. I'm fairly certain it will take a 5-speed gearset. Not sure about the 7-speed. SamM

woot, My first thoughts about buying a Stealth eBike were along the same lines. Which model do I get? When I checked the classified adds, I found a Fighter for sale not far from me. There aren't many of these for sale in the U.S. Finding one sealed the deal. My first Stealth would be a Fighter...
