Inspired by Ukraine's strategies, UK soldiers are experimenting to see if the Stealth H-52 electric bike can enable fighters to attack enemy positions undetected. The vehicle reportedly costs around 6,500 pounds ($8,392) and has a range of 60 kilometers (37 miles).

"Kyiv's forces used Delfast electric bikes to attack Russian tanks. The bikes have a range of 200 kilometers (124 miles) and are reportedly quieter than the British Stealth H-52."
