After buying a 5304 a while back and realizing how heavy it was i did not go through with it.It's a dust collector now.My new plan is a DH type bike with a hub motor,like the Stealth Bomber.I read the other thread on a DH conversion and there was no mention of what type of motor it had.Do you guys know what it uses?.I was thinking of using the BMC 100watt hub motor,would that be as powerful as the Bombers motor?It seemed like the hub motor was discouraged in the other thread,but it can obviuosly be used in this application is the stealth uses it.

Doesn't the stealth bomber use a clyte 530x? That was what I assumed from the look of it. The stealth fighter uses a smaller motor, but I don't know which one.

Sorry for the newbie question, but what is a "DH type bike"?

 

[Drunkskunk]

DH stands for Down Hill.
Its a type of Bike built for running down Ski slopes in the summer. They are heavy duty to the extreem. 8 inches of suspension travel, 20mm front axles, Oversized hubs, rims, brakes, frames, ect.
They also weigh about twice what a conventional mountian bike does.
