ride a 2012 Optibike R-11 and a 2013 Stealth Bomber

Oh yes, I added a handle bar mirror, works great.

Hi Cory, I was able to commute this afternoon, what a blast, so much power, but still easy to control. I added mountain bike fenders, a garmin gps and lights.

I enjoyed your post. What kind of a helmet do you ride with?? I like your fenders, more stealthy looking than my Mountain bike fenders.

Hello Riders, I just purchased a used 2013 Bomber. With 3 days of rain in Houston, I have not been able to ride it to work yet. I put some mountain bike fenders and lights on it ready for commuting the 44 mile round trip to work and home. Sounds so much shorter when I say 22 miles one...

I like the Chrome Bike, nice Bling!

I removed the rohloff shifter and added the electronic shifter on my commuter R11 bike. I also added a aux. battery you see under the saddle bags. Makes for a clean handle bar on the left side. I still would like to build some kind of gear indicator, but riding it, I find it is not...

I have a shiftezy electronic shifter that shifts with two buttons. One button for going up in gears and the other going down. Would there be a way to indicate what gear you are in?

Hello Optibike_Austen, I'm looking for the auxiliary battery plug that goes into the Optibike socket. It will be a 2 pin round female plug. I've listed my address if you could send me one, that would be great. As I have looked around here and not found one. Thanks.

I commute with a regular bike and an Optibike R11. I ride 22 miles in Houston Traffic one way to the office. I find closing the gap on the differential speeds between bicycle and automobile makes for a safer trip. My battery is starting to lay down on my Optibike and so I'm only at 17 to 20...

I love riding my Optibike. Expensive, but worth it. such a good design. Solid performance.

Thank you very much.

Thanks for the report from Luna Cycle. I will get the upgraded charger, good idea not to charge to 100% to extend the life of the battery. Thanks for the tip.

Hi Fishy, I am getting ready to pull the trigger myself on a new battery, this company has good reviews, I'm thinking of buying from them this week. http://lunacycle.com/ I think you may find a battery that would fit your needs.

Hi all, would any one know of a place I can buy the plug that goes into the aux battery port. I want to build my own cable for an aftermarket 48V - 21Ah battery? Thanks

I was looking hard at the ST2, but at that price point I bought a reconditioned Optibike with a new battery from the factory. So far, I'm happy with my decision, but I like the tech on the ST2. If I had the money, I would have both.

The reason I went with the Optibike in the first place was all the accessories on the bike were first rate, from the Rock Shocks to the fantastic hydraulic brakes. Some people think the design is somewhat dated, but I find it a fine piece of engineering. Because of the extra weight of the...

Yes, I bought a 2012 R-11 from a doctor who rode it for 6K miles while he was an intern. I paid 5K for it and been riding it for a year commuting 22.5 miles each way to work. The problem I'm having now is the battery is starting to lay down. I can only ride in eco mode, averaging 17 mph with...

I like your mods on your Optibike! Why did you decide not to but a CA on your R-11? I have put LED bulbs in my R-11 and like it. I commute 22 miles to work one way. Would it be possible buy an aftermarket battery say from Luna Cycle and wire it into the optibke?
