The AMX Stealth: will this indie e-bike take off?

  • From Spectator Life
The AMX Stealth by Analog Motion

Analog motion, the brand behind the incredibly popular AM1+, are back with their latest model, the AMX Stealth. The company — so I’m told enthusiastically by their CEO — claims to have had a rethink, and wants to now ‘focus on making products that people love’. This surprised me, since their AM1+, reviewed last year, was exactly that: a lightweight, fun, cool and incredible loveable bike (with a loveable price tag).

Even more surprising, then, was the news that it wants to depart from this model and focus on higher-value, higher spec — and of course higher cost — models, the first of which is the AMX Stealth. Everything about this bike is a bit bigger: the frame, the wheels, the chain, the battery, the handlebar; and of course with that the weight and the price.

It’s probably one of the nippiest bikes I’ve ridden in recent weeks

Equipment-wise, it’s better-specced than some, including front and rear lights, carbon belt-drive and the all-important mudguards.
