Titanium Chimera Electric BMX
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 bikes now offer two setups; a 36v 15ah "Commuter" battery capable of up to 40 miles of throttling range at street legal speeds, or a 52v "Competitor" battery capable of up to 20 miles of throttling range and higher "off-road only" speeds. Check our battery specs below for more precise information. If you choose to purchase both batteries, you can easily swap them out by using our mobile app to adapt the bike's settings
Our titanium bikes are usually pre-order only. But at the moment we have a few in stock ready for assembly. Please allow a month for assembly. You can check the current production schedule here. Once we begin assembling, your bike 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.
