The JaVelin

In development since 2022, the Javelin is a radical new concept in frame building technology. While the Bandit’s frames are manufactured outside the USA, the Javelin is being designed to be 100% built in house at our North Branford facility. The additional costs associated with building in the USA has pushed our team to develop these new techniques.

Project Timeline

Preproduction Sample

October 2023

 

An initial sample is created, the design is tweaked

Founders Bikes

Dec-Jan 2023 

 

A production run of 3-5 bikes will be created based on the preproduction sample. Customers of these bikes will agree to a research program and supply Spark with data. This data will help finalize the large scale production bike

Full Production

March-April 2023 

 

Following the field research period, the design will be finalized. It will then fully launch in the early spring of 2024

SHOULD I WAIT or Buy a BANDIT?

The Javelin will be far more powerful, have a larger battery, and be made in the USA. This will all have a significant effect on the bike’s price.

Do you want to carry cargo or a 2nd passenger? The Javelin will not do that.

Do you want pedals and be a ebike? The Javelin will not be one.

Are you ending the Bandit?! No, the Bandit has many more years to come.
