    Sondors Fold XS Battery Mile Range

    I found nine levels (plus 0) of assist to be too granular. In the Advanced Settings I just changed mine to 0-5. Still testing it on the road, but seems great so far. 👍 0 - 0% 1 - 30% 2 - 50% 3 - 70% 4 - 85% 5 - 100%

    Unlocking speed limiter on a Fold XS

    I'm wondering...if you adjust the display setting wheel size from 20" to 16", will the controller direct the hub to increase its RPM accordingly to reach max speed of 20mph (or 25mph)? If so, with stock 20" tires the actual speed would increase to 25mph (or 31mph)...assuming the motor is...

    Average Cruising Speed on your e-bike

    Postscript: at 74 years old, a really fast pedaling cadence is no longer in my toolbox. IMO, the Sondors' top gear ratio is more suitable for a top speed of <18mph.

    Average Cruising Speed on your e-bike

    Hi. Yes the Fold XS is 750 watts and 80nM, but my bike shop says it's really 1000W (?). With accessories, it tips the scales at 75+ pounds. The rear gears are freewheel, not cassette, for what that's worth. I assumed replacing the chainring would be simpler, but I'd also be open to reducing...

    Average Cruising Speed on your e-bike

    I'm new to ebike, and just bought this Sondors Fold XS a couple months ago. I switched out the seat for a Selle Royal Respiro. I can hit 25 mph in "unlimited" mode, but would like get to 30+ if possible (and not spending $$$ on a new controller, display, throttle, etc.). The 48T chain wheel...

    Bafang Ultra "Smooth" tune by Mike at Frey

    I understand this thread deals with modifying the Bafang Ultra mid-motor. Are there also threads that discuss modifying the settings for a Bafang Hub motor (I have a new Sondors Fold XS with a Bafang 750W rear hub motor (RM G060.750D 07) producing 80 Nm of torque. The battery is 48V x 14Ah...

    Another new ebiker in San Diego

    Hello all, I just got my new Sondors Fold XS a few days ago. I'm hoping to use it mainly for "nature" rides in a local wilderness preserve, and around a reservoir (lake) with a paved 5-mile perimeter road that's just down the back hill from my house. I had a couple big motorcycles in the late...
