I have owned both Stealth Bomber (clone) and Talaria MX4 Sting R. Based on that I have a vision for an "ideal" bike for my needs. First a quick summary of my requirements

I ride 98% on roads and a bit of off-road like grass in a park, light gravel. I want the bike to be sturdy so it can take some beating. Like jumps from 1 ft or less, climb steep off-road hills with loose ground just for fun like 30% grade for 200 ft or so. Very cushy/buttery suspension. Blistering performance in 0-50 mph zone, analogous to a high end sports car with a lot of low end grunt and also a top speed machine. Low key and silent so it can be comfortably ridden as cycle on the bike trails or when people are close by. And then on the open stretches, rip! Great build quality. Should feel light and balanced so it can be thrown around.


Here's how I would articulate the bike to be a combo of Stealth and Talaria

1. Talaria Sting with quietness of a hub motor
OR
2. Stealth Bomber with a few changes like the higher build quality of Talaria, its handling, its sturdy frame

Can the Bomber be made more tossable with mods? Let me explain. Talaria is so tossable. When I ride it feels like I am sitting on it vs climbing on the Stealth. The center of gravity is low. I have the confidence that when doing hard riding say going over a steep hill, if the bike loses balance, I can simply stand up and led the bike slide under me, thereby saving injury. But the Stealth feels like under those conditions it would fall on top of my body and injure myself. Plus its much more heavy. It doesn't feel tossable. The frame looks bulky vs Talaria's svelte look

I would love to hear from this forum. Does my ideal bike exist?
Is there a quality frameset available with the attributes I mentioned for a custom build?

What about the stealth fighter?
 
which bike is that, does it allow build from the frameset
something like this
 
Thanks! Would the build from this frameset be that fundamentally different from SB clone, feel free to share pointers to noteworthy built-up bikes.

100% higher build quality

the BETA might be more nimble
notice the pivot isn't on a single bolt like the clones Beta_White-600x600.jpg

Simply asking feedback about CABMotorWorks. Their reviews isn't looking promising based on a quick search. Very little if any Youtube videos from actual customers.
 
I assume for pedaling when you run out of juice or fry your controller. I'd swap out the rear with one these though. That big hub will be super hard to pedal without power.
So how is that not an electric motor cycle? If I pick all the upgraded options, it would cost me $24 000 CDN.

I think I saw a post a while back, where the cop made the owner show the guy could pedal to show the pedals were functional, and that the emoto was an ebike. With that stock gearing, you'd need some really strong legs.

He wouldn't have strong legs because he never has to pedal.
