Common Questions
What is the top speed of the the B1 and B2 chassis & motor?
Top speed is dependent on your setup, rider and riding conditions. Torque and climbing ability are the primary focus of these dirt bikes. We recommend a maximum speed of 45 mph on the B1 with a 70A tune; the B2 can reach 50mph+ with a 125A tune.
What is the range of the B1 and B2?
That all depends on the battery, controller tune, rider and riding conditions. The Bomb Moto B1 and B2 batteries generally have a range of 20+ miles under moderate trail riding conditions.
Where are your bikes made?
Like most e-bikes and e-motos, our bikes are built in China. However, Bomb Moto is a California-based business. We have our hands directly involved in the production, components, design, development and improvement of our bikes.
If a dirt bike manufacturer claims their bikes - or even parts - are from the US, you have reason to doubt it.
Are these bikes street legal?
Probably not where you live. Bomb Moto models are dirt bikes, designed for off-road use only. Go find some trails and get dirty!
I'm an influencer. Can I have a free bike?
Marketing costs money. At Bomb Moto, we are proud to let the product speak for itself and rely on the community to spread the word. After all, we're enthusiasts too. We'd rather protect pricing for DIY hobbyists and families than buy clout. By keeping our costs low, we can keep the customer cost down.
From time to time, we may collab with creators and respected modders to educate the public on builds, maintenance and more.
If you are a customer, post your pics and tag us on social! We'd love to share your content!
Why don't you sell complete bikes? Will you sell complete models in the future?
At this time, we are catering to the DIY community by offering low-cost platforms for building custom e-motos. One of the main reasons we started Bomb Moto was to give the community an e-moto alternative to buying a new bike that isn't exactly to your spec.
We continue to analyze the pros and cons of selling complete, turnkey models. While this may happen in the near future, we are currently focused on supporting the DIY community and helping e-moto enthusiasts build and ride affordably.
Do you sell internationally/outside the US?
Not at this time. We are actively looking for like-minded, reputable business partners to support the sales of our products worldwide. If that's you, contact us as sales@bombmoto.com.
I'm buying a Bomb Moto rolling chassis & motor. What else do I need in order to start riding?
You'll need a battery (we sell these!), a controller and throttle. Many controllers and throttles are sold together in a kit - see our resource page for community-oriented kit sellers.
After that, you get the satisfaction of assembling your bike and hitting the trails on something you built and tailored to your liking.
For questions, discussion and ideas, the BombMoto Electric Dirtbikes Facebook group is also a great resource. While it is independent and not officially tied to Bomb, it is managed by avid and knowledgeable community members.
PARTS & UPGRADES
Why don't you sell every single replacement nut and bolt on your Parts page?
We generally don't carry common bolts, washers, bearings or other items that can be easily purchased elsewhere. If we carry it, it's because it's harder to get, or we bring value to the customer by selling it at a reasonable price.
What controller to you recommend for B1 or B2?
We leave this decision to the customer. The most popular controller for the B1 is the Fardriver 72300 with a 70a tune.
The most common controller for the B2 will most likely be the Fardriver 72450 with a 125/150a tune (or other Fardrivers). The rolling chassis comes with a front mounting plate specially made for these controllers.
VESC Project is a newcomer in the controller world that looks promising. It's new and somewhat expensive, so most builders choose Fardriver.
What battery do you recommend for the B1 & B2?
We recommend our battery, of course! Our B1 and B2 batteries are the best value in the market for their spec. Both batteries were designed for Bomb Moto's models and offer great value, size, fitment, performance and range. Make sure your battery produces the amps and recommended 30%+ amp headroom for your tune.
Why don't you carry controllers or kits?
Currently, the aftermarket has a healthy offering of controllers and kits from different manufacturers. If we feel the market isn't serving our products and customers well in the future, we will reconsider.
Why don't you sell other components and upgrades?
Simply put, we are the chassis of choice for DIY e-moto builds. We will focus on what we do best and carry some uncommon parts to support our products.
We endorse the suppliers on our Resources page. They are proven, honest and of value to the community.
Orders
How soon will I get my bike after I place an order?
We generally ship within 2 business days. Shipping time in the lower 48 states is generally 1-3 business days. For new or improved model releases, there may be a delay due to product availability. In that case, will communicate expected delivery timing directly with those customers.
It says product is out of stock. When will you restock?
While we try to maintain inventory on our products, sometimes things sell out. In particular, when we release new models or enhance existing ones, we need more time for production and shipping from the manufacturer.
