    Sondors first impressions

    @MD33 - you can buy a bicycle computer or odometer anywhere (Walmart) or cheaper on ebay ranging on average $5 - 15 dollars. This is what I use and I wish I have gotten a smaller one to save space on my handlebar. http://www.banggood.com Here's a nice small one with back lights...

    Sondors Fact Finding. Due Diligence. Scrutiny.

    There are still a lot of Americans that haven't received their bikes let alone international. It's hard for 1 man to please everyone at the same time. We know that he is trying and the bikes are real, give him the benefit of the doubt and be patience.

    Sondors first impressions

    My bike has the 3 led battery life indicator, it's actually useful for me as I have an odometer. It's accurate when it's under no load or motor assist. When the red light turns on which is the last light under no load, I know I have about 10-12 miles left of battery. A watt or LCD meter will...

    I think the majority of the happiness comes from actually receiving the bike in the flesh considering all of the fiasco associated with this cf campaign.

    Sondors Fact Finding. Due Diligence. Scrutiny.

    Thank you for the reply, this is very useful information. I feel more confident when I decide to upgrade my ebikes. :) Euro & Asia ebikes have a speed limiter and can only go 17mph max speed while US ebikes go 20mph. Do you happen to know how to turn off this limiter and make it go 20mph?

    Any RadRover contributors out there ?

    Are any of you RR owners still getting the intermittent power cut off from the battery? Is there a resolution for this issue? Is the battery a genuine Samsung?

    Sondors Fact Finding. Due Diligence. Scrutiny.

    Some of these people sound like they have never own a bicycle before while some have no common sense. My favorite is "how do I stop if there is no curb around" LOL. Now you guys see how Sondors can sell this bike at such a low price? He use very cheap parts and I always knew there was a profit...

    What's the Scorecard on Mid-drive?

    People seem to think rear hub motors are harder to fix flat but from my experience, all I had to do was unplug the motor wire and the rest becomes just like any other bicycle. Unscrew both nuts, loosen the chain and pull the tire off. Yes the hub motor wheel is a bit heavier but put some elbow...

    Chas - I've heard people run 48v on their 250 and 350watt motor, you're saying this will overheat the motor? That bms 48v battery you post looks very nice, do you happen to know how to mod the controller like from top speed of 17mph to 20+ mph?

    X-treme XB-300 Electric Mountain Bike by Farbike

    MacProTX - I've seen ebikes with 48v battery running a 250 & 350 watt motor. Again my Cemoto 36v bike running the same 300watt motor is a big difference compare to my 300Li Trail Maker. There is a stronger kick and torque when you twist the throttle and you get up to top speed quicker so...

    This is my Radrover...

    I think people who have knowledge about ebikes would think the price of the RR is inexpensive, in contrast people who knows nothing about ebike would think it's expensive. To me, ebikes are a luxury item, an expensive toy, a toy that puts a smile on my face. :)

    Found this interesting ebay listing that looks like a Radrover

    Did you mean this bike? http://www.ebay.com It has a 500watt motor with 48v Samsung battery, looks very similar to the RR with few difference like no suspension fork, lcd and front light (which I like). Price is $1215.00 but you can make him an offer. Big Cat is a nice bike but the specs are a...

    X-treme XB-300 Electric Mountain Bike by Farbike

    If you look closely to the 36v battery from bms, it's different than the stock 300li battery. The bms is a bit wider so it will not fit on the bike. You would have to do some modification on the frame to make it fit. I was thinking about taking apart the stock battery and inserting some lipo...

    Does anyone have experience or knowledge to share about Fat Tire bikes?

    LOL apparently not powerful enough since he wants a motorcycle instead. I wonder if they make a 48v battery that is similar to the Sondors? That would be the first thing I would do if I had this bike.

    Does anyone have experience or knowledge to share about Fat Tire bikes?

    Looks like people are already receiving the Sondors bike already, a guy from SF is selling his on craigslist. The bike looks pretty nice. http://sfbay.craigslist.org

    Cemoto Electric Folding Mountain Bike

    Recently added usb headlight using the DC plug on the bike battery with a usb adapter. I can now charge my phone and run my headlight when I'm on the road.

    Any RadRover contributors out there ?

    Sadly I would have to agree if I was to purchase one in the US. My only concern about the RR is the battery issue with some reports on sudden cut off. Are all of you guys getting this same issue or is it random?
