Collection: Strike Shadow Series by Throne | 48v, SX, SV2 Mini E-Motos

A: Power and speed scale up the line. The 48V runs a 3000W peak motor and tops out around 33 to 35 MPH. Step up to the SX and you get a 5000W motor with a 60V 27Ah battery and speeds up to 50 MPH. The SV2 Z7 sits at the top with a 7000W motor, a 72V 25Ah removable battery, and speeds over 55 MPH. Wheel size grows too. The 48V runs 14 inch front and 12 inch rear wheels. The SX and SV2 both move up to 17 inch front and 14 inch rear for better rollover on rough terrain.

A: Despite the "kids and youth" name on the 48V, none of these are toddler bikes. They're 3000 to 7000W performance machines. The 48V is the entry point, built for youth riders and smaller adults under about 5'10". The SX and SV2 step up from there, built for teens and adults who've outgrown beginner bikes and want real pit bike speed. Match the model to the rider's size and experience, not just their age. Purchasers must be 18 or older, or have parent or guardian permission, per Throne Cycles' usage guidelines.

A: The 48V tops out at 33 to 35 MPH. The SX reaches up to 50 MPH. The SV2 Z7 runs 55 MPH and up, rider weight and terrain dependent. Top speed may be restricted to 20 MPH depending on region. The 48V and SX both offer speed settings through the dropdown options on their product pages.

A: Start with how much riding experience they already have. A teen brand new to powered two-wheelers does better on the 48V, where the 33 to 35 MPH ceiling and lighter chassis give them room to build skill without overwhelming power. A teen who's already comfortable on a bike and wants real trail or pit performance is better matched to the SX, with its 5000W motor and larger 17 inch front wheel for stability. The SV2 Z7 is the one to grow into, not start on.

A: Pit bike. All three models in the Strike Shadow line are built on a compact pit bike platform, smaller and lighter than full-size e-moto chassis. That's the appeal. You get real power, hydraulic suspension, and 420 chain drive in a frame sized for younger or smaller riders, with an upgrade path that doesn't require buying a full-size bike to get more speed.

A: No. Every model in the Strike Shadow series is designed and intended for off-road and closed-course use only. They're prohibited on public streets, sidewalks, bike paths, or other municipal property unless specifically posted as allowed. Always check your city, county, and state regulations before riding, and always wear approved safety gear.

A: Throne Cycles hasn't published an official range figure in miles for the Strike Shadow line, and we won't guess at one. What we can tell you: battery capacity scales with the motor, from 23.4Ah on the 48V up to 27Ah on the SX and 25Ah removable on the SV2. These are pit bikes built for trail loops and riding sessions, not point to point commuting, so real-world ride time depends on terrain, throttle use, and rider weight more than it does on a single advertised number.

A: All three models run a hydraulic front fork (45mm x 48mm x 670mm) and a hydraulic rear shock (245mm). The SV2 Z7 steps up to Fast Ace suspension front and rear for better bump absorption at higher speed. Tire sizes scale with the model too. The 48V runs 14 inch front and 12 inch rear, while the SX and SV2 both move to 17 inch front and 14 inch rear for more traction and rollover on rough terrain.
