Stealth made its name with the B-52 Bomber – an outrageous electric MTB with a range of 50 miles and a top speed 50 mph. With its 4,000-watt motor, the Stealth Bomber far exceeds the legal limits imposed on electric bicycles, but bypasses the need to be registered as a moped by being classified as an off-road vehicle.
However, its astronomic retail price and inability to be used legally on the road meant it has stayed little more than a dream for most mountain bikers. Until now.
The Stealth P-7 is built from the same pedigree as the Stealth B-52, but a street legal output of 250 watts keeps riders within the law.
Currently on sale for £3,200, it is being aimed squarely at commuters:
The P-7 is designed to turn your daily commute into an unforgettable adventure. That dead travel time getting to work can now be part of your daily fitness routine and give you more time to do the things you enjoy. Forget about sitting on the train, tram, bus or even at red lights. From hills to highways, the P-7 is the new magic carpet. Weekend warriors won’t miss out either with the P-7’s dual suspension frame also capable of mixing it on the trails.

The B52 bomber was about the most un-stealthy bomber around with a huge radar cross-section.
I think you’ve got confused with the far more modern (by 37 years!) B2 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northrop_Grumman_B-2_Spirit).

‘but a street legal output of 250 watts keeps riders within the law.’
Is dey silly?
If restricted to 28MPH and with a rear number plate, this would be a street legal moped as opposed to a very expensive, massively overspecced pedelec (4000W vs. 250W?).
The e-tricks evolution S01 offers a similar light-weight, street-legal, highly manoeuvrable ‘moped’ option (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBK-M49A_NE).
