Head-to-head
Stealth B-52 vs Delfast Top 3.0
Delfast Top 3.0 leads on current VoltRipper Score, but rider fit, legality, budget, and support still decide the smarter buy.
| Bike | Score | Price | Peak power | Battery | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stealth B-52 Dual Sport - Expert | 66 | $8,890 | 6.2 kW | 2.5 kWh | high-power street/trail crossover, riders who want pedals + throttle |
| Delfast Top 3.0 Dual Sport - Intermediate | 71 | $6,999 | 6 kW | 3.4 kWh | maximum range, street-legal commuting + light off-road |
What works
- Iconic high-power fat-tire platform — ~6.2 kW peak, 150 Nm, ~50 mph
- Vboxx 9-speed pedal gearbox pairs pedals with throttle for hill-climbing torque
- Premium hand-built construction and a cult following
Trade-offs
- Pedal-equipped 26" platform — technically a high-power e-bike, not a pure dirt bike
- Heavy and expensive (~$8,890) for the performance vs. a Sur-Ron
- Rear hub motor is less serviceable/upgradable than a mid-drive
What works
- Record-setting range: a huge 3.4 kWh (72V/47Ah) pack rated 200+ mi in eco
- Ships street-legal as a Class-2 e-bike with lights, signals, mirrors, and horn
- Quiet carbon belt drive with regen — very low maintenance
Trade-offs
- Pedal-equipped Class-2 e-bike — not a pure dirt bike (it competes on range, not dirt capability)
- Throttle range at speed is only ~30–50 mi — far below the 200 mi headline
- Premium ~$7,000 price
