BMX-Style Crowdfunded Bikes

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Chimera BMX Announced the Upcoming 'Shadow BMX' with a 3800W Motor

— February 7, 2024 — Autos
The Shadow Chimera is a BMX-style electric bike that combines pedal power with throttle-on-demand. It features an all-black steel frame, fork, and handlebar made of 4130 heat-treated chromoly, a durable and lightweight material. The bike also has a patent-pending High-Drive motor system that delivers up to 3800 watts of silent and instant acceleration, as well as a modular transmission that is linked by a GT3 belt. The Shadow Chimera has a sleek and simple design that can be easily carried, stored, and maintained.

The Shadow Chimera offers two battery options: a 36-volt Commuter battery that provides up to 40 miles of range at street-legal speeds, or a 52-volt Competitor battery that unlocks higher speeds for off-road use only. The bike also comes with Sun/Ringle rims, peg-compatible Chimera disc hubs, and Magura hydraulic disc brakes for reliable stopping power. The bike’s settings can be customized via a mobile app. The Shadow Chimera is a limited edition product, with only 100 units available for pre-order. The bike is hand-assembled in Los Angeles and currently retails for $2890, but this is an early-bird price and it may go up in the future. The full details are available on Chimera BMX's landing page for the bike, linked above.
