    Sondors Ebike Review Now Live

    Cheers Court, balanced review - you can't be everyone's cup of tea, do it your way and your way only, it is successful enough and is appreciated by the vast majority of viewers/readers.

    Sondors Fact Finding. Due Diligence. Scrutiny.

    @ George S. Stating and doing are two different things - the pertinent point is the claim in Feb-April 2015 was that estimated delivery was May 2015. Delivery at the end of August/September doesn't have such an appeal does it, donators have been misled, pure and simple. Really will be...

    Take a look at his FB page JoePah by clicking on his name, looks in good shape I would have thought 195-210 lbs.

    Reviews appear inconsistent. Aaron MaxwellGot mine this past weekend. Pros: looks great, rides smooth, has decent thrust. Cons: no way will go 50 miles, battery doesn't even last past 10 miles with 95% peddling, and peddle broke off first climb up a hill. Threads on peddle crank shaft stripped...

    Yep the rack and the fenders are not for me, took the mudguards off of my bike first thing, otherwise for a fatbike it is an attractive looking bike - any international donators got their bikes yet?

    I believe the early reviews of the bike to be favourable, however without the 50 mile range claim, 90 minute battery charge, all made in-house from custom components stuff it would have been a far more open and honest campaign. Transparency would have won the day. Who really knows at what...

    When it comes to EU legality, motor power and speed, AFAIK, customs in many, if not all countries, will not stop ebikes/motors that aren't road legal as private road use is permitted as is ownership. What happens on the road after that is going to vary from country to country - I suspect most...

    Therein might lie the frustrating delay for international donators, particularly within the EU - the 350w motor makes the bike illegal for road use with tax, insurance, mot and a registration plate - it would be classed as a motorbike, also it has to be limited to 15.6mph by law - I need to do...

    @ FTC Complaint - this might interest you if you had not noted it already... Others are claiming 18 miles or whatever with battery to spare.. Ro ChavannesHas anyone had any electrical troubles. 1st. Love the bike. 2nd-My led for the meter worked once, went over a bump and glitched for a few...

    The wheels will start to come off the Campaign soon - granted the bike seems worth $499 and has problems commensurate with buying a cheap ebike - but how many thousands of people have yet to receive a bike? EU donators need to be shipped a bike win a maximum 250w motor restricted to 15.6mph at...

    Sorry I missed this - for all of those who accuse me of misunderstanding that shipping was May 2015 and not delivery, a post from April (before the details were again changed) - notably the first production/assembled bike off the line was yellow - why, this isn't consistent with the claims of...

    " 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." I don't agree. We are talking nearly $6,000,000 of donations on the back of stated claims. Those claims have changed and yet neither...

    JP you have made valid points but they don't address the points I have raised if you were responding to me - originally donators were told that they would get the bikes on a. First come first served basis - then it was advised that colours would be in batches. Now we have situation of countless...

    I do not believe that the social media posts are indicative of an estimate 1500-2000 black/yellow bikes being delivered. Whereas I am pleased for those that have received their bikes - niggles aside - where are the ebikes for international donators or the many people who haven't received their...

    @vincent713 I laughed at that one too, the answer is so simple - wear high heels! Sondors claimed at the outset of the campaign that he could only hit the low price point by manufacturing all of the components himself, and no doubt because he once designed happy meal toys for mcd's he had the...

    Thanks FTC I have not had sight of the comments on the Ss owners group page, the impression I get from the restricted/censored info elsewhere was just one or two teething problems, so thanks for correcting me.

    Thanks for that, I understand there are a few teething problems but fully expected, what it is important to do is get the info out there as you have done..... Nobody really knows what is going on behind closed doors.... Anyways let me add one more to the list about the brake lever cut-off switch...

    Again in fairness FTC given that I estimate 200 or so bikes have been delivered the guys on the Owners Page seem to be doing a good job supporting those that have received bikes - who knows if the guys comms have been received, problems seem few and far between with the actual bike, it is more...
