The electric MTB you've been waiting for: Road legal Stealth Bomber

Stealth made its name with the B-52 Bomber - an outrageous electric MTB with a range of 50 miles and a top speed 50 mph. With its 4,000-watt motor, the Stealth Bomber far exceeds the legal limits imposed on electric bicycles, but bypasses the need to be registered as a moped by being classified as an off-road vehicle.

However, its astronomic retail price and inability to be used legally on the road meant it has stayed little more than a dream for most mountain bikers. Until now.

The Stealth P-7 is built from the same pedigree as the Stealth B-52, but a street legal output of 250 watts keeps riders within the law.

Currently on sale for £3,200, it is being aimed squarely at commuters:

The P-7 is designed to turn your daily commute into an unforgettable adventure. That dead travel time getting to work can now be part of your daily fitness routine and give you more time to do the things you enjoy. Forget about sitting on the train, tram, bus or even at red lights. From hills to highways, the P-7 is the new magic carpet. Weekend warriors won’t miss out either with the P-7’s dual suspension frame also capable of mixing it on the trails.
