FireStorm is an original design and art project. Powered by a throttle assisted 1000w rear hub electro-magnetic drive, this bike has climbed all of the steepest roads in Big Sky without pedaling. In fact all of my e-creations don't have pedals. And they don't have a crank, gears, shifters, or derailleurs. And, of course, they are totally off-the-chain! And they all have wood core frames for structural superiority and unique esthetics. All bikes are built with seats lower than conventional bikes making them exceptionally maneuverable and without the need for "pedal stroke". No pedals.
FireStorm sports a Red Chrome and Matte Black wrap, matching red anodized Wake handlebars, Mojo headset, Kresc stem, carbon fiber stem spacers, black 2-Piston fully hydraulic disc brakes with 203mm floating rotors (NOTE: Brakes have been upgraded from red cable assisted in picture to fully hydraulic disc brakes). It has a red and black comfort seat and red foot pegs. Since the pictures I have added black fenders, front and rear. Booted up with aggressive black and red Vee Rubber 26x2.125 MTB tires on a Bucklos front rim and mounted on a factory painted matte black MTB front suspension fork. The frame is red cedar and I lightly burned the surface to give it a unique finish. Add Smokey the Bear stickers and you have a FireStorm! This is the only one of its kind making it a unique, custom commuter and e-venturing machine. (NOTE: the last picture shows FireStorm with a front mounted hub motor, fenders and studded snowtires. The fenders are included and mounted currently. Studded snowtires are available for an additional $150/pr.)
Top speed is 25 mph. 48v 13aH battery goes at full throttle for an hour of climbing or cruising and takes about 6 hours to recharge. I recommend a 2nd battery if you are planning on longer rides. I sell them for $250 each and they change out on the bike very simply and quick.
These bikes are not allowed on bike paths that have a No Motor Vehicles sign. And I recommend staying off trails that are populated with joggers, kids in strollers, dogs off and on the leash, and other bikes. They beauty of this bike type is that you can go just about anywhere else and enjoy the freedom of riding and e-venturing.
Send me an email if you have questions and we can schedule a showing and test ride in the Four Corners area in Bozeman.
The eVolution of bicycling is right here. But you are going to have to pedal faster to keep up!
