thx for the pup compliments... VEE is appreciative :) I just tested the luna-cycle 48volt 20AH battery on the sondor stock motor/controller, and good results. Nice tq increase. This coupled with the front dir drive motor makes this bike pretty strong. I'll try adjusting to speed once I ever...

(Link Removed - No Longer Exists) Ibera pack installed! Now front motor battery goes in the pack and off the seat post.

You will enjoy the fat tires.... they work everywhere.... and really shine with e-assist. I do have a plan to eventually build a high-end fat bike with good components, and one of those sweeet Big Block Mid-drives.....

Ralph - thx for that. fit surprisingly well. Fenders are from BIg-O fenders. They have sondors spec fenders. David1 - NP..... something I threw together.. I like to mix my passions. Bomber arrives state-side in a few weeks..... seems to take forever. I'll do a fun vid of that as well...

Turn it up to full volume, and listen to the vintage fender tweed sing. A few pics of my sondors 2wd in it's current state.

I paid for my lcd back in August....... still waiting for it to arrive..... tick-tock... growing old ;)

hmmm that's interesting math :) $499 bike $200 shipping $250 front dir drive motor $350 battery for front motor $150 fendors $20 180mm disc $8 180mm disc adaptor I'm getting up there :)

Flymeaway - thx for the insight. From my exp with chinese mfg (in heavy ind), they are keen to reach int'l mkts. Perhaps ebikes are different. Or perhaps there is an opp there for sondors knock-offs... IE. ... rather than try to setup a brick-mourtor shop in USA....... help a china mfr or...

I just got back from my evening sondors ride.... 30 miles..... avg 17.8mph, top speed 28.8 mph, 102mins...... boy would I have loved to do this to/from work instead of AFTER work :) :) Super jealous of you guys in cali/ore who get to ebike to /from work. Houston stinks!

I got to thinking this evening perhaps the ebike marketing is all wrong here in the states. What if we ran this business model::: Open up an ebike commute club/business from the burbs to downtown houston for example...... Pre-define the route. Set a time for departure and return as a group for...

I do wonder why the chinese NEED sondors.... to access global markets? I mean they build all of this stuff in CHina........ so why can't they learn from this crowd funding exercise and gain access to these markets them selves? Now that would be a game-changer.

Check ebay for a fatbike 350watt front wheel kit. It is about $250. Complete kit includes: assembled fat tire wheel/dir drive hub motor, controller, brake levers, and throttle, and grips, and PAS. It bolts right on a sondors no problem. You will want to buy a tq arm for safety, and modify...

I've put over 700 miles on my sondors so far with a few observations: 1. I ride about 20 miles/day, same route. I run @ 20psi normally as this gives best range, tops speed, battery life on my route. 100% concrete. 2. When I get off-road... rutted cat-crawler tracks...... 10-15psi is best...

The long commute can be conquered. The temps and battery chemistry, I'll defer to you guru's :)

Other things to consider from my recent experience: A dir drive motor will provide some noticable rolling resistance when not powered, and if you are trying to pedal the bike with NO battery power. A gear hub motor has a coasting feature which allows you to pedal with less resistance...

after more thought on this and seeing the backers that got nothing.... I'm getting the feeling the people who actualy got bikes (at a low price), at the expense of those who got nothing....... perhaps that's how the math works...... pyramid scheme...... a few get the deal, and a few get hosed?

Wicked!

Part II Houston Biking experience: Just got back from a 4PM ride..... 'attempting' to cross I59 cross walk with white crossing bike symbol emblazoned.... F250 pulls right out in front of me... I point to the walk sign,,, and he yells at me "I"M BIGGER THAN YOU!"....... I let him know he's...

I'll need your help on what works best..... I've tried the stock sondors 4.9" tires, and a pair of low rolling res Vee8 tires. I doing road / gravel riding primarily with the occasional offroad hard packed clay riding. The snow riders will have some very particular feedback on what does and...

Kaldeem... You will love the e fat bike! I can't stop riding it. It really crawls over allot of obstacles. Like a heavy trials bike.
