Chimera Electric BMX (Titanium)
Our titanium version of the Chimera is hand-assembled in Los Angeles with a lightweight all-titanium frameset, powerful 3800 watt High-Drive powertrain, Magura MT series brakes/Storm HC rotors, Kenda Tires, ASI controller, Sun/Ringle rims, and our custom high current potted and aluminum encased battery. The final weight estimate is 39lbs all-in before any weight-saving customizations. See "specs" tab below for more details.
Our titanium bikes are pre-order only. Please understand that when you make a pre-order, your bike will be put into production, and will take up to 7 months to deliver to you (depending on our order volume). Once your bike is in production, it can only be cancelled for a refund minus a $300 fee to help partially recover our costs of raw materials and labor. For more information, see our refund and warranty polices. For legal reasons, we have to say that the top speed is 15mph.
