    SURRON LB: RESEARCH & DEVELOPEMENT

    Just popping in here as I've normally lurked over in the Stealth owners threads, but have been working with a local company as they build out their range of ebikes and emotos. We did a recent videoblog with Jeff Steber (founder of Intense Cycles) about the mods he'd been doing to his SurRon...

    E-S Stealth Electric Bike Owners

    Hey Rix, just in the process of planning an upgrade for the Fighter from F35 to F-37 spec, it was one of the intermediate models so runs 3500W. Battery + motor had died after last EV race. Has been parked up as a display bike for another dealer, where I get access to a much wider range of bikes...

    E-S Stealth Electric Bike Owners

    Been away from E-S for a while, just dropping in to see how the Stealth Owners forum is ticking along. I've had the chance to be riding a bunch of different stuff recently (BoxxBike, DrillOne, SurRon, SEM) dropped some thoughts down on the relative merits of bikes best suited to logistics...

    KDX 20.0 cells trailbike conversion

    Nice to see someone else here on ES wrestling with an eKDX concept - had a B2 years ago and reckon the lighter weight chassis of a 125-200cc makes a reasonable candidate for a registerable ride. Just considering an offer for a reasonably priced 1991 donor bike at the moment, so am enjoying the...

    eBike OffRoad race format

    The ride+race format is something I'd considered when first coming online as a Stealth dealer, but the investment cost to offer that was a massive hurdle and HIGHLY speculative, glad I didn't put my cojones on the block for that. Would take a pretty brave/deep pocketed individual to take a...

    Thanks Rix, yes, has been a few years, I pop back in every now and then. Was riding the Fighter intermittently, motor carked it after the last EVFestival race I did and then life got in the way for a few years with 3 kids to wrangle. This was probably last Fighter related race shot in 2016: In...

    eBike OffRoad race format

    There's a part of me that wants to see this also seed real world relevance, in range, load-carrying capacity and portability of battery as a power source, something I'll bet DARPA/DoD/ADF/DSTO would have an interest in, since it also replicates some of the field testing trials they'd be putting...

    eBike OffRoad race format

    Thanks @markz - no problem, I know I've seen this pop up several times over the years on MTBR/pinkbike, though there's generally a bit less hate these days for eMTB now that they've demonstrated traction in product sales. There's some good valid posts in there about course design though. As an...

    eBike OffRoad race format

    Thanks for jumping in Pinotman. First important racing course design question: do we factor in a water obstacle/creek crossing? :lol: Will be a pretty quick differentiator in quality of builds and IP ratings. Regarding the bicycle class, yes, there'd need to be subdivisions within it, know...

    eBike OffRoad race format

    After a chat yesterday with a new player, dusting off work that I started back in 2011-2013(ish) to explore some patterns for an OffRoad eBike racing format, after having enjoyed racing them in a go-kart track format for the Hunter EVFestival 1500class. Wanted to run that discussion under at...

    Pfft. Go for it. Crazy bobs for me, such a better tyre. Popping back in here after a while away, nice to see the thread hit 700. Reviewing some of the earlier work I did in thinking through a race-format, since things have moved along a bit. Was chatting with a local collaborator yesterday...

    +1 from me. Good work. Sounds like we ought to line up a ride and I'll bring some cameras..I've hit similar heat here on Central Coast, but the great thing about the eBike is that your exertion level is lower than normal pedalling, if you're prepared to use the throttle on a hot today for the...

    E-S Stealth Electric Bike Owners

    Considering the move away from Bomber, Fighter, Hurricane to B-52, H-52, F-37 due to some likely trademark overlaps I'm leaning more towards a new model designation, am equally in the dark about it..But I'll lean towards F-22 as a wild stab in the dark..

    Slightly offtopic, but I've had a better/different way to collect blackberries, involving an old Suzuki LJ50 (543cc 2 stroke engine powered 4WD). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suzuki_Jimny#SJ10 Find a healthy looking blackberry -> drive into the heart of it -> climb over seats to open back...

    Heh, I can vouch for how close to the wire Jay went, only just made it onto the track. Wish I'd done some vid of his last minute scrutineering and prep scramble. I wondered if he was playing me a distracting audio file to lull me into a false sense of security that there might be something...

    For those who are curious to know what the 1500Wh Racing class in the HunterEVFestival is like from the riders perspective, I've put up full race footage from rider briefing, warm up lap to race end and track exit. Should give you a feel for what it's like from the back end of the pack..awesome...

    (AUS) Hunter Valley EV festival August

    Nice roll call - great to see some extra faces rocking up this year to take part and try their luck. Point taken. But yes, it was also nice to jump on, ride a standard COTS Stealth Fighter with no mods and take the win. For potential customers, that's a nice turn-key experience. Suspect we'll...

    (AUS) Hunter Valley EV festival August

    Yes, me too. I know for sure Hyena will be champing at the bit to get on track for the 1500 class to see if he can win it this time. Just needs two things to happen: 1. His bike to not fall apart or break for 10 laps (am sure he won't make this mistake again); 2. Stay upright and hope to not...

    I've also got a set of spare Bomber cranks in stock if you need, cary a limited range of spares that I can draw down on if needed. Also have some rubber spare, in Razorbacks/CrazyBobs.

    I noted Airbus announced a 3d printed eBike of their own recently, for only 50kEuro and a 37m range. http://phys.org/news/2016-05-airbus-unveils-3d-printed-electric-motorcycle.html They should do well at that price and range....waiting to hear the gushing response of the crowds wanting to get...

    Bravo - restrained, respectful, controlled riding. Think that's the first time I've seen someone riding a Stealth in cleats. There's some great tracks down at Thredbo, raced there in early and mid 90s. Next challenge is to find some awesome climbs to tackle, of which there are many..recommend...
