Sondors operates as a "Black Box" whereby you can observe "monies going in" and "Bikes Come Out." There has been very little (or no) transparency about his process.

Why would you halt production, only to resume it months later, especially if you knew what orders you have on your books? The July 29th court date stands between "wave one" and delivery of "wave two."

These concerns summarize the issues encountered per the Sondors User Group FB Page 1) Sizing of the bike 2) Front Brake Problems (widespread) 3) Electrical Arcing 4) Heat Buildup on contacts and loose contacts 5) Mechanical problems (lack of lubrication and tightening of fasteners, noise, wear)...

Ann When you run through the list of Facebook Problems some are quite serious; 1) Sizing of the bike 2) Front Brake Problems 3) Electrical Arcing 4) Heat Buildup on contacts and loose contacts 5) Mechanical problems (lack of lubrication and tightening of fasteners) 6) Tire inflation problems -...

Here is a short list of problems from FB That would be allot of problems per 200-400 bikes Some are quite serious as well and could (or over time) cause injury. This is Storm's responsibility, not end users. I did however have the forks backwards and almost killed myself on the first corner...

From Facebook Sondors Official Page Hasnain S JafferyGot my bike on Friday and motor doesn't work at all. doing email every day but no response. Sondors Ebike has a horrible customer service overall. they never reply you in time and do not communicate. Asked them to call me in every email. but...

Finding reports that to fully charge the bike takes five hours. It is unknown whether or not electronics are in place to prevent discharging the battery below acceptable levels.

That is why the "brand" of the motor is important. If it is a CST or BMP Bafang then replacement parts are readily available. http://www.greenbikekit.com/bafang-8fun-bldc-hub-motor-nylon-gears-replacement.html If you have a bike more details about it would be appreciated.

You would have to replace the controller along with the battery.

No you are definitely A Number One! in my book. Many folks here do their own work because they build their own bikes, batteries etc; more people do their own work here than the "click to buy me now crowd."

Speak now or forever hold your peace. Storm will be ahead of any recourse as he knows how to evade the legal process, and he knows how to avoid accountability. When he gets to court on the 29th he will likely say that lots of bikes have been delivered and thus he is out of money. (or he...

The false and misleading claims are easily provable. However, the laws for false advertising claims apply to damage to an industry player, not the consumer. Consumers bringing false advertising claims about Storm to court will find themselves shut down. It is a moot point except to say...

The $300 price differential: AKA Why is this bike $300 cheaper than most other cheap e:bikes? The money has to come from somewhere; Follow the numbers and you will find the missing $300. Assembly Insurance Customer Support Documentation Accountability Quality Control/Assurance Follow up/on...

Oh yes, anyone can change a tire. How many people are going to put the tire on in the proper direction? How many people put the fork in the wrong direction? One percent of a containers worth! How many can true a wheel? ZERO How many Storm bikes have untrue wheels? That would be a...

The sentence happens to be the main idea of the paragraph. Injury, potentially life threatening injury, can result from a poor quality bike with no customer support or quality control. That is why bikes are sold under "strict liability." The $300 lower price point represents an...

Details about the motor, controllers, tires, etc. Also more info about braking, brakes appreciated. What is the brand (model) of the motor for instance?

From the "first impressions thread" here is a main takeaway from "Monostrato." (which belongs here in overview) "if you're life is going to ride on this thing and being a bicycle it IS literally riding on this thing" -Above is the critical thinking, main point, of the Sondors debacle...

The "lack of assembly instructions" and documentation seems to be a common concern; and there are a few bad assemblies as a result.

I think Indiegogo's business model does not work for Indiegogo! People put allot of venture capital into Indiegogo and it will never return cash and capital.

Indiegogo Perk, not so fast.. They want to become Amazon via a buy me now option! http://www.crowdfundinsider.com/2015/07/70994-indiegogo-announces-new-feature-for-backers-shipping-now/
