You can find a motor/bike rim combo that will fit onto the front of most 24-26 in bikes for around 700 US dollars on Ebay. Those workers who work a couple of miles from where they live are better off getting that and putting it onto a bike than they are buying this for the same price of a used car.
@Codemonkey1967 I disagree, you cannot blame people for sticker shock. It’s natural to gasp at a price that is 10x what you originally estimated it to be.
And also don’t think im attacking you but just because some bicycles sell for $6000 doesn’t mean that it cannot be over priced either. Though i do realize there is alot of quality & planning that go into some products aswell…
@greenrefrigerator That bike is the same price as an excellent or world class downhill bike. You could probably make it into a downhill bike if you tried. The fact that there is a lesser version in Europe for 44,000 just proves that this fairly priced. 44,000 dollars people for the worse euro one.
Calm down on this price, damn. Stealth is putting out top quality ebikes that smoke every other ebike being manufactured. It’s NOT about economical value, it’s about wealthy folks having a BLAST on something they can’t get ANYWHERE else. You’re damn right Stealth isn’t going to sell them for $100 over cost…. If you want economical ebike look for a China kit on ebay and assembly it yourself. I do agree that a manufacturer should come out with the “Ford Model T” of ebikes….
10g is a bit steep but in Oz you can get a bomber for 8800 and a fighter for 6600 – (a dual suspension pedal only bike costs 3k+). Pretty reasonable given the high price of batteries, the components used, the GST, high rents, wages (they manufacture in Oz), high shipping costs.
Well done! Great to see an Aussie manufacturer. One of few products that Aussies aren’t being ripped off on. Best value for money, compared to the US and EU alternatives.

@StealthElectricBikes It seems a lot of people don’t understand that many folks go to the BICYCLE store and drop $6000 on a good downhill pedal bike. Looking around I see it’s almost $1000 to get electric power for bicycles that would barely excite the population of the local old age home. Sad that some don’t care to understand what you have to do to put together something like this. Oh well, lust ignites passion.
Ten grand for an e bike? Are you fuckin mad!?!? It’s a hype product, I’ll give you that but you got to get it down to 5 g’s somehow if you want to move this product.
10000 for a fucking electric bike really I paid 3000 for a subaru impreza I have put 135000 miles on it and it still runs that thing wouldn’t make it more than 1 to 2 thousand and I ride downhill bikes a lot and would never spend 10000 on a fucking trail bike with an electric motor

Dear Santa… Lol
yes yes yes very over priced, fcking joke…….
That being said I
The price is stupid, the product is awesome.

@kingkobrabmx ……135000miles at 30mpg = 4500gal. x $3.00/gal. = $13500. + $3000. cost for car = $16500.
Bike = $10000.
Car = $16500.
Solar powered charger for free battery recharging and you spent $6500. too much.
@rocbola……… So build it
