Alot of the parts are interchangable on between the H52 and B52, I say build up the perfect bike, then get the other one running and sell it to get some of your money back.Crossy said:Hi Guys,
My first post so apologies if I make any errors.
So about 6 weeks ago I bought a damaged H52 2016 model It had been in an accident and was need of some repairs namely the 8 corners where the frame has the covers on all had cracks, the disc or the rear was warped and the battery needed looking at as well as break pads.
So I got the frame re-wielded by a professional and reinforced, repainted the frame and took the the battery and controller to Stealths Brisbane dealer E-bike power. Ian from there was awesome helped out heaps sent battery back to Melbourne and they replaced 3 cells and when it all came back Ian spent time after hours and helped me get it all back together (Bleed brakes, but all the bits where they had to go etc).
So I had waited so long to own a stealth bike that I was so excited and couldn't wait I took it out and drove on road and off road but even going on the road for the briefest of times got nervous about no pedals.
Anyways a B52 comes on Gumtree for a really good price BUT it doesn't have a battery .... I thought I would take my H52 battery and test it but ran out if time didn't want to lose it so I just bought it. Went from no bike to two in a few weeks.
The B52 with the battery from the other bike feels natural on the road the ability to gear up and down feels right the fact I can peddle while riding gives me comfort and a control I don't get on the H52.
This is the issues though the B52 I have is No 211 from 2012/2013 where as the H52 is 2016/2017. The H52 is much faster like 20kms faster. The H52 has a CA that I can read and understand as it is larger than the B52. The breaks H52 Magura MT5 compared to the gold ones on the B52. Lastly the forks much better quality on the H52.
My question is should I be changing out the parts from one to the other?
I need to buy a new battery if I get CD to make me one could I get one with enough speed and extra distance to negate my issues with the B52 or should I get the upgraded Crystlyte motor as well.
Lastly should I just throw in the towel and just buy a new B52 and sell the others.
Any and all thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks
Crossy

efMX Trials Electric Freeride said:dropper post are mostly used on mtn bikes bc you need seat height for efficient pedal climbing, then you drop the seat out of the way for descent.. remote lever on the bar controls seat height adjustment.. they don't have suspension (that I know of).. but there are suspension seat post, not sure if any are droppers though..

I've done some playing around with size options to make a cost effective, high capacity Bomber battery with the latest tech and managed to come up with this:
Bomber 21700 Battery.JPG
There would be 2 levels, so it is 20S10P and uses 21700 cells.
What I don't know is if the 370mm length will be able to fit. It's only 20mm more than the max recommended length so I'm thinking it should be easy enough to fit by angling it in.
If this config could fit it would be approx 50AH, 20S (74V) so matches the existing battery setup for voltage and more than doubles the range. This would mean you could keep using the existing charger.
The only catch is it may be difficult to fit a BMS and it may be necessary to make the BMS a separate connectable unit that sits up in the neck area or on top of the pack under the seat sub frame. Once connected this would not be a problem in every day use and something like Velcro to secure it in place inside the frame could be used.
Anyway, let me know what you think. Does anyone feel like trying to fit it with some cardboard. The full dimensions would be around 375x145x120 (LxHxW)
If it can I think it might be a real game changer for Bomber owners.
Cheers
As Requested CD....
