Some more extended ride/play time on the bike today, headed out with a photographer mate to make the most of the Canberra autumn colours. Made for a great backdrop canvas for the ride. We wanted to be able to demonstrate the versatility and capability of the bike, so took it around to a few favourite ACT haunts, though there are so many more to come yet.
What the ride reinforced for me was the great job that has been done in settling on a good flexible frame geometry that allows you to easily switch from laid back commuting/cruising, to exploring a quickly spotted trail and take on a range of technical sections. I'm waiting till I do a tyre switch before I go taking it into some of the rougher stuff that I used to race MTB on. Looking forward to bringing you more images over the coming weeks as the bike continues to settle in. It's about to get a lot of commuting use. If you're in the ACT and interested in taking a closer look, my contact details are available in a post lower down.
Seriously large thanks to my friend Aart for his skills with a lens, great to hear his feedback on the bike as the second rider to date. I suggest you go check out his website if you're after a skilled, experienced facilitator-see http://www.tellingthestory.net/
Beautiful bike, can't wait to see more pictures. How did it power up the hills? Is it a stock bike or did you modify it some? Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteIs that the new 3000watt? How fast (max)does it go on paved flats? Thanks
ReplyDelete@joe. Thx, bike is stock, most of the photo shoot work was done on the flats or small grades, nice and slow for photographer. But yes, going uphills is a breeze. One of the bikes major benefits..
ReplyDelete@elec This the latest fighter available, still proving it, not looking for max speed tests at present Check out the main stealth site for those details, at http://stealthelectricbikesusa.com/the-bikes.html
