soooo happy I got to ride a press bike one of these I enjoyed it a lot and the lightness of it works so well with the speed lots of control
THIS IS EXACTLY THE QUESTION IVE BEEN ASKING. THANKS FOR THIS
DIRTBIKE OR MOPED CONVERSION IS WHAT IM WONDERING.
I am always so surprised how much of a great rider you are on the dirt Loz!
Woah, that ain't me! That's Noel and Nick and Crazy Ed. :)
gizmag I will always think its you :)
it just needs one thing . Pedals again . Stealth should really build a flywheel drive or even get into mid-drives like Luna . that would rock! 👌
Thats why the b 52 exists
electric bikes are rad, if you haven't ridden one, you need to, they are awesome
just don't confuse e-moto with an e-bike
SOOO GOOD
imagine these bikes in 10-20 years! the technology is evolving at light-speed so soon we'll have 30 kg bikes with power that's comparable to cars and batteries that last for over 100 miles and charge in minutes! and with technology that evolves so fast anything outdated will drop in price significantly and this bike wont cost you $9 000 but maybe $1 000 or even less!
There are huge money pilies beeing pumped into Battery technology, There will be huge advances in this field in the next few years, especially going towards 2030 where a lot of countries plan to ban new petrol and diesel cars from beeing sold( Not applying to Semi´s here, They are pretty effective for the tonnage they carry)
Imagine yourself in 15-20 years. Think you'll still be jumping over the side of steep cliffs on a two wheeler then? Really?
Chuffin 'ell fair point
I agree ... internal combustion engines are over,,, in another twenty years the tech will not only be light years ahead but way cheaper!!!! even if these guys never realize that clean, quite, and as light as possible is the way to go,,,I love the old shit as well but I'm looking forward to the future!!!!!! and furthermore I see a huge niche for bikes of this kind and functionality. ,,,

I had a nightmare with that in it twice.once before I knew it exhisted.HAVE to buy it by October hopefully.
I wanted this so bad, until I heard the price. ouch! very cool, but I could buy a new BMW G650gs and a nice mountain bike for the same amount. I hope over time, these bikes become affordable, I'd ride the wheels off of it.
You should look at the sur-ron. It's way better and it's $3.5K
BMW won’t get you far in a big out sitch. And that mtn bike may get you uphill but not without tremendous effort and slow speeds.
Mines is being shipped this month ✅ BIKE LIFE
The H52 has no chain drive!
That is so cool.
They should make one for commuting with lights, brake lights, indicators etc. Maybe call it the M52 (M for moped).
Good point
How much is this bike and how many km it travels in full charge
This is awesome man make more videos about them I want one so bad I can’t stop watching this video the bike is so awesome 👍
It's an awesome bike, I've seen what it can do, the only thing that sucks is the price :(
Es erinnert mich an die Deutschen Ingenieure der Automobilbranche, die Zunkunft hat begonnen, und man hält immer noch am Verbrenner fest und im E Bike Bereich fährt man mit tollster Technik auf und präsentiert einen Antrieb aus der Steinzeit ! Darauf wäre ich als Entwickler oder Ingenieur alles andere als Stolz.
That looks like a blast, all the fun of riding a dirt bike without the exhaustion of wrestling around a 250 pound machine.
i've ridden a 50cc enduro bike that weighed just 69kg, i presume this would feel something like that, it was pretty good fun actually (except it was in bad condition, no rear break, chain came off, carb gunked up)
Please tell me this isn't a scam, because I got it from snapchat and the price says 117 on sale from about 400, and I wanna get this so bad before it leaves!
Exactly same
Great video man, I'm curious though, I see the exact same bike going for 100$. Is this a scam or what?
obviously its a scam
GOOD LORD $9500 USD!?
I know new developing technology is aways on shaky ground and a company HAS to make some return on their investment but I was just about considering looking up on how to buy one and ditch my plan on getting a bajaboard until I heard the price.
I would honestly think if they marketed it heavy in San Francisco and Seattle for about $5700 they could then maybe break into an emerging market but at this price, most would rather buy a 2nd hand new-ish car now that gas is so cheap.
$9500 Aussie dollars.
9500 $$. I can by a bad ass ktm 690
+Anthony Campos
i just built my own that has 20 horse-power, 75mile range, 60mph, 100lbs. $5k
+facevalue can you post the vid of your bike ?
Ion Moldovanu
type in
I just love passing harleys in downtown seattle they are stuck in traffic wasting gas making noise, taking up space, polluting the air and draining their owners funds. I pass them on my ebike which kind of like looks like an old 30s harley before they got big and ugly, and were actually practical transportation. and I just smile.
Hey Loz your well overdue for some more motorcycle reviews.
More and more electric bikes are gaining space and facilitating the shift emissions-free!
Been 55mph on a road racing bike downhill and that felt near-death, on dirt it must be mad lol. Want one of these for christmas...
I know right! I hit 37mph on a dirt downhill once riding my Giant MB, roots rocks and all, and I swear if you make one wrong move, hit one rock or root that's just a bit too high, you;re DUNZO!!! So sketchy!
when gas powered dirt bikes are banned everywhere (its happening NOW), Electric bikes will save off road riding.
Spokexx spokexx Hakka
Its alot cheaper riding ilegal why would i have to pay 10 grand just to have fun when i can spend 1500. To have fun and thrills police. Cruzers dont have the acceleration
The annoying engine noise irritates normal people who call the police.
Banned ? Tell me where are dirtbikes banned
Hi for me to_"the_556647_78
This thing looks awesome
2 electric bike motors on ebay is like 500 and 2 Lipo battery is like another 500
When you compared to the other bikes, was it based on how fast they can all do the same trail?
This bike can come in India, if you can come, how much will it cost in India
*Handy product. Works well.*
Does it really cost close to that much to produce one of these?
The age old argument of "Push bikes with no motors that cost even more"
That's because they're trying to get the absolute best performance gains from a human, not an electric motor and just a few more volts...
Stealth aren't a clever company, their bikes are just a Crystalyte motor with 2 wheels, with cheaper options being even worse.
Very cool bike, but the hub motor is the biggest weak point. That's why you have no much less grunt than pretty much any other type of electric motor. I'd bet a dollar a lot of the performance loss you saw was, if you looked back at the riding you did, after time when you were hammering the motor and getting it totally heat-soaked. Hub motors are most abysmal when it comes to thermal management.
A fully decked out FUTR Alpha is the exact same as the Stealth Bomber but only costs $3,500. These bikes from Stealth are significantly over priced and if you are in the US you will have to pay import tax because it is a vehicle and not parts. The $3,500 price is including Moto rims and DOT street tires so I can actually register mine for legal street use, where as Stealth uses bicycle rims/tires so you couldn't.
How much?
hub motors cant jump and dont really handle off road,why no decent stealth mid drive yet? $9500 u could build a v-10 ego setup
Were do you get them bicycle
its a motorcycle without all the bullshit that comes with a motorcycle
its a perfect sweet spot of transportation and fun
Heybike Ranger is an awesome E-bike
AT THAT PRICE YOU CAN GET A SUPERMOTO AND AN ENDURO :)
Let me guess, you don't know how much a normal Downhill bike costs right?
+BRDFX | meeh doesn't really matter because at half the price you can get something better ;)
it actually matters since this is more of a downhill bike than a Motorcoss/Enduro
+BRDFX | meeh the more reason for it being so expensive, don't get me wrong but you could get a really good car at that price, the bike is awesome but very pricy for most people. Wish you all the best!
yeah but there are also Downhill bikes for 13.000€ (cheaper ones are at 2-3000€)
Where to buy ?
Cada vez melhor .... cada vez mais rapida ..........Parabenz
How much pls
Looked up the price of these things, and LOL. They are the better part of $10,000. A Kawasaki 450 motorcycle is $1,000 cheaper. This bike shouldn't be more than $2,000-3,000. Seems like they're only taking advantage of a niche market.
Basically true. Similar products are sold by different companies for the price range you specified. Stealth has been overpriced since they started but apparently sell enoough bikes to stay in business.
These bikes are expensive, because of the battery prices. 4 panasonic lithium ion cells coasts around 18 dollars
It's not that they're taking advantage of anything at all actually, you need to keep in mind that motorized bicycle s like this one especially aren't usually meant to be able to handle mountain biking trails the way this one is meant to, and the sleekness of the design and all the work that it takes to actually build something that complex takes a lot of work as well, and I'm sure they don't use and assembly line to make these, they probably have employees that actually take the time to make sure everything is the way it should be
@@tylerwilliams42 because it's not an e-bike, with that power, weight etc. it's e-moto and it'll be banned everywhere (trail centres etc.)
How fast is it in mph?
Can someone give me the link so I can buy one please
You can buy a new dirt bike or two used ones for that price. Unknown companies shouldn't price their stuff so high or nobody will care
+AirsoftWarfareHD I think these are for people who can afford one and don't want a combustible engine dirt bike.
What's a push bike?
I'm sorry but wtf are those disk brakes? Is your stopping distance 100m going 30 kph? Crazy.
I'm doing a lot of mountain biking and those discs are fine
+Emilien Gosselin
Wow surprising
+Millermacs why ?
Emilien Gosselin
Hard to imagine that they work so well.
Hydraulic brakes are very strong (I have the same kind on a tandem bike)
Hi there to whom is incharge of the awesome "STEALTH H-52" e-bike. I'm Leonard Erasmus and 51yrs of age,from South Africa. I just wanted to say, that i'm really very impressed with the unbelievably incredibly very fast speed of your awesome "STEALTH H-52" e- bike,and to be really honest with you,is that i really do wish that i could afford that unbelievably incredibly awesome "STEALTH H-52" e-bike,but unfortunately really for me,is that i really unfortunately can't afford the awesome unbelievably incredibly "STEALTH H-52" e-bike, because i'm really unfortunately working for the South African POST OFFICE,and my salary that i'm earning unfortunately really won't allow me to, because of all my different money payments that i'm paying every month.
Are we still here 2020 ?????
Wow...what a sweet machine...
points scored for the ending comment push bikes with no motors etc :-)
How much does one cost
where can i get one
Wish I had the cash to get one... looks like a real fun toy
What’s the top speed?
I legit came from Snapchat to here cause I saw this exact bike that was $100 So I’m seeing the view
I bought my Lectric XP in January 2020 to get rid of excess weight. I ended up losing 77 pounds, and my legs are like tree trunks. I have 2 batteries and have travelled 65 miles round trip. I currently have 2400 miles on my ebike. Life is great... or, was great. Last week, at 2400 miles, the bike broke down electronically. Left me stranded, twice. Had to walk home several miles. Lectric company says it’s still under warranty, but will take a long time to get the part needed to fix. Coming from China and from I got from the tech, this prob is happening to thousands of Lectric bikes. So, I stop riding for how long? A month, maybe2 or 3.... I don’t think so. I am going to buy another bike from another brand cuz this one is no longer reliable. It’s just taking up space in my bike barn. The unfortunate part is I just finished building my solar bike barn so my bike is propelled by sun and keto... I hope Lectric realizes that my warranty is on pause until it is fixed. They can’t take a month or several months and expect the warranty to keep running. So, if u want this bike, I totally recommend it. Just have secondary transportation and Uber on stand by. P.s. no public transportation where I live. ur on ur own here
Its neat but more hp and battery life plus decent price is what will make it sell. Otherwise it remains at its current stage. Prototype. Ill stick to my 2009 ktm sxf 450. 50+hp, 90+mph and hours worth of life on FUEL.
How many kw?
How much is that?
so much want
finally someone showing it climb. it does great IMO. all the adds show it doing basic ass shit. why not promoting it for its full range of capabilities. I had my doubts before. but it can climb. so ill start saving $$$
Did the way you have been very happy and then the way you have any attachments may
Hmmm, as a dirt-bike guy now with a couple kiddos, this could be a very cool thing to keep my little adrenaline junkies going, while not pissing off campers and folks everywhere we go when we wanna bust out the KTMs. Being able to run these through campsites and get a bit nuts without the loud pipes and dirty Karen glances is very attractive. But I do see a couple drawbacks. For $9k plus each basically, thats roughly a $30k investment. Ouch. Okay, lets say I sell one of my kids kidneys and we shell out the cash - while I think they are awesome, they are a tad under powered I think for my little dirt monsters likes. They are power mongers, and it looks like these go well downhill, but uphill I can see them being a bit underwhelming. You guys pump up the HP a bit, get those back wheels spinning (cause' come on, the back wheels gotta' spin, right?!), and we are in. If you could drop that price-tag a bit, we would be even better. My KTM's were $7k a pop, that's cheaper than the Stealth. You have me on the noise, now lets just beef up that beef a bit, drop the prices a couple G's and we are in biz.
53 kilos? I think you got that wrong. The B52 is 53kgs. whereas the H52 is only 38kgs.
very cool video!
I like it alot but the price man.........
All you need any of these fast ebikes to do is approx 30miles at high speed, folk rarely go more than 20 miles a day if for fun or pleasure
How much is
Maybe 5-7 years and technology of electric vehicles will be way hight than now.
how many $ if i should pay ?
A three horsepower moped for 9500 dollars?
HAHAHAHA
kkkkkkkkk
Look at the torque, you will understand why electricity is kinda cool
I dont think its a good idea to buy that yet. These bikes evolve all the time.
Never stick your leg out when turning corners. Who does that?
It did looks very strange! But you do stick out your leg on any dirt bike, typically when the rear wheel is powered with the gas on. For some reason, on a bike it looks weird?
Enough to get some bones broken 😂 or spend the entire life on a wheelchair crying
GIVE ME THE PRICE OF THIS BIKE
$WEET!! Daddy, I want an H-52, I want an H52 NOW!! (LOL)
that is mint
kaha milegi ye
Sick!!!
Electric power is great,but add a Solar Panel and charge while parked/riding.Endless charge for riding without any fuel,its free from the sun.Come on,lets get this Solar power thing going.
You can get a dirt bike that goes faster and is cheaper that the dumb bike and when it dies your screwed because you don't have pedals
Ho much ?
JJ? 💜💜💜💜❤❤
Ya I’m still here for my price to get my b52 stealth bomber ebike
Prise
It's awkward looking on a trail - just doesn't flow like a quality dirtbike - I don't know who this is for as it doesn't do anything better than what already exists.
I'm sure we'll be riding electric dirt bikes in the future and they won't look like this.
A citycoco is a cheaper alternative if you wanna cruise
12 GRAND YEAH
sur-ron dirt mx-ebike affordable fast and practical
Make your own for £2000. Frame £250, Battery 72v 30ah £750, 5000w mxus hubmotor £500, 72v controller kit with break levers and screen £100, enduro front suspension forks £100, rear suspension £100 and hydraulic brakes £125...£1825!!. Or just buy a pit bike for £500
youd get pretty shitty forks for a 100 quid and not enduro, enduro means the forks are from 160mm travel to about 180, turn the e bike into a 29er and get the fox 49 forks on it! and rear sus for 100 quid too?! what planet are you living on pal haha :0
my point is you can make a stealth for about £2250
may aswell just buy a motorbike
my as well buy a lambo.. .wait what
that is 3 times as heavy and you can hear it 2 miles away.
without pedal assist makes it illegal to ride on most trails on USA, and at that price i find it pointless.
Not quite a electric mountin bike? Thats exactly what it looks like lol
Or you could buy an Alta
tell me price
$10,000
Price of a car
and for only 10k u can have one too lmao. only for the people who have too much money they don't know what to buy next
