Jazz.. yes each system is independent: front system has hub motor, controller, and throttle, and battery. rear system has hub motor, controller, and throttle, and battery. The rear sonders geared hub actually does a decent job on it's own pushing the dir drive motor...... surprising. The...

Just got back from my 1st 2wd ride: 22.6 Miles Avg 17mph Peak MPH = 29 with pa Peak MPH = 24 w/o pa (fresh battery) Very happy to have at least the same range/speed as before. When I got home I spent some add'l time 15 mins running up down grass hills, and no power loss.... so still have...

George - just added a 2nd motor to my sonders..... check out my thread. 1st test ride today coming up.

Got the 2WD working this morning.. and pretty happy with the sano- install ( if I say myself). My goal was to keep it looking like a stock sonders with the exception of the motor in the front hub :) Quick ride shows 24mph no pedal, and alot more tq off btm end. I've got batt's charging for a...

Cody - if you have never ridden and ebike..... then you are in for a treat. I generally get a 18-20mile ride in before my family is awake.... I get up @ 5AM, and run my little route.... at that time in the AM I get to see wild havolina's, deer, skunk, racoons...... it's starting to get cool...

I just installed a front wheel fat bike hub wheel/motor 350 watt. $250 for the total wheel, motor, controller, etc.. kit...... I'm off tomorrow, so I'll be tidy-ing-up the install...... need to make some custom wheel safety clips, and custom mount the 2 controllers in the sonders box. Then...

You can double your range on the sonders with a cheap chinese frog battery on the seat post. That's what I did. Just used a DPDT switch to go to my 2nd tank :)

I've got a 350 watt Sonders fat-tire bike and I can cruise with pedal assist @ 19.5mph over hills and into wind. It provides a good work out. If you want to ride it like a motorcylcle... then you will not be happy with 350 watts. Clarification to my hill climbing statement...... you "can" go...

I got what I paid for, and am pleased with the purchase. Also backed up the quality of the bike/price with my local bike shop. Not sure what there is to complain about. Peace.

Sonders Ebike - round 2 of mods: * Ordered a 350watt 36 volt front hub fatbike wheel drive/controller/etc.... I already have two batteries mounted, so we'll see how the sonders performs with 2WD. Will be interesting to see how range, and MPH changes with same 2 36v 10AH batteries on my...

I can comment as a happy sonders campaign round I funder....... Sonders is Legit!

LMK if you want to sell you shock forks for fat bike..... If it will fit my gen 1 sonders.. I'll take it. I'll be doing upgrades to my gen 1 sonders bike..... shock front forks, lw seat post/seat/handlebars, 48volt system (perhaps 2wd). etc... etc...

Ann - thanks for the guidance. This is what I suspected. I "used" to keep my little Lipo RC helicopter/car batteries in the garage.... and they would puff up after a few weeks.... which means they are getting unstable.... and basically unsafe to charge/use/store. I do have a fun way to...

You might get better cooperation from the shop/rest owner if you call it a laptop battery :)

I've got a stealth bomber coming soon... and my garage gets up to 115-120F in the summer months. I know heat is not kind to my RC Lipo's.... I presume heat is the enemy of my Stealth LiFE battery as well?, do you all rec that I remove the battery and store inside after each ride? Or just leave...

I'll be lurking on your build.... please share your impressions! I might duplicate your build on another project bmx bike.

If it were my build, I would just use what you have and keep a limit on the hp/tq you add. Use your existing bike and keep the price low, and have fun. Keep the cost down, and start the build. If something fails who cares... it was a free bike..... just keep an eye on things and don't get...

They will all have a purpose in my garage: Sonders - cruiser. Trek w/ Small Block Hub Drive - ??? not sure really how this will ride :) Stealth Bomber - single-track monster. I'll probably end up upgrading the sonders with time, after my research is done..... perhaps dual fr/rear drive...

JP - THANKS for the tech input on that build! Super helpful. I just got back from an 8 miles ride on the HOST Trek 920 single track.... sans-motor.... and it is a slug to drive around...... it just takes so much energy to follow my wife on her trek gary fischer superfly cf full susp mtn bike...
