LOL... you must be retired...LOL..!!
Soooo... on another note, let me ask you guys a somewhat related/un-related Stealth question. The Stealth Bike Owners thread has been open since late December of 2010, so call it, 2011... there has been over 18,000 posts in total, however, it "APPEARS", based on the number of posts in the last two years, and especially in 2021, that the Stealth following and publicity has dropped off significantly. Or, possibly I'm just missing other Forums or discussion threads, Youtube video's, etc outside of E-Sphere where Stealth bikes/Bombers are discussed. I found myself trying to research and scour other ebike forums, the web, Youtube, etc.. trying to educate myself and looking for troubleshooting information, modifications and aftermarket upgrades, etc.
While the Bomber is still regarded as the leader and baseline with regards to comparing the top of the line Performance eBikes, I see very little content in forums, youtube videos, etc.. that are specifically related to Stealth Bombers. I mean there is a handful of Youtube video (mostly marketing videos) and some riding videos, and a select few posts here and there that constantly compare their bikes to the Stealth Bomber. So my question is... why does it appear as though the following has dropped off, or possibly it didn't kick off as well as it should have for one of the top of the line performance ebikes. or maybe its my perception... Is it the cost, is it the limited support with the dealers...? I'm curious..
Dont get me wrong, I love the bike..!! I love the way it looks, I love the pedal feature at high speeds, the brakes, the performance etc.. but when it comes time for service/support or replacement parts, its challenging because the dealer usually has to contact Stealth...or you have to know people such as the Great group of guys on this forum..!! Now, take for example the Sur ron (which I'm NOT a fan of) only because it looks like an e-motorcycle and it would be a Huge issue if I were to try and ride that on the street like I do the Bomber. They (Sur ron) were established in 2014 and there is countless forums, user groups, videos and aftermarket companies that supply controllers, batteries, lighting, decals and how to's then you can shake a stick at. Please dont get me wrong, you guys on the forum that contribute and provide input and feedback are AWESOME. I've learned a ton from you guys and I can't thank you enough..!!
So my question is... based on social media and the very limited content and support of the Stealth branding, is Stealth a thing of the past or am I missing something...? Want to hear your thoughts..?
