Must be a circuit design shortfall, a blocking diode is missing, it is a $.25 part in bulk or about $2500 for the whole project! So far we know; 1) People are happy having gotten a bike and having experienced an e:bike for the first time --There is an expectation that this is durable/off road...

There is some indication, on message boards (and in a video above), that people are having brake problems with the bike.

The charger looks to be a bit jiggly (shady) Strange Ebay phenomena http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.Xsondors+ebike.TRS0&_nkw=sondors+ebike&_sacat=0 Strange Craigslist phenomena http://sfbay.craigslist.org

Sondors, to me it is the quintessential demonstration of consumerism in action. 1) Market something so well it evokes a feeling of emotion 2) Have those emotions spontaneously erupt in a flurry of orders 3) Rely on the sharing of those emotions to reinforce decision making 4) Add some drama by...

Welcome, your impressions on the Storm are appreciated, and btw the Velomobile is super-sweet (and I edited the previous comment accordingly). Again, your/the Velomobile is awesome! There is a fellow that builds gas powered cycle carts you might want to check out on youtube.

This bike looks like a "off-Road mountain capable bike" - but in NO WAY is this bike designed to meet that EXPECTATION. NO WAY People will get injured when this bike falls apart. Does the owners manual describe how to use the bike? (even then it might not matter depending on what State you...

Some unwise ridership Since this will not be a going concern "strict liability" be damned

Bad Bearings on Sondors Ebike OR The Bearing is good and the Assembler Made a Mistake on Tightening OR Poorly machined bearing surface Brake Most Likely not Mounted on the Frame Properly, or frame is askew and not allowing the caliper to be aligned so the wheel is centered. OR It could...

His Morgan pedal car and Velomobile looks awesome. If that fellow can build his own super-cool epic Velomobile why would he want to buy a cheap ebike? Epic -> http://www.velomobileshop.com

George, I have to agree with you in total here. Folks have purchased a bike $300 off retail, but in exchange for that "savings" the bike is an orphan. However, the idea was sold as a going concern; rather than a hit and run. Storm is responsible for that shortfall. That is for sure as well...

12 gauge is pretty hefty; compared to the pic.

Yep, all these concerns (on this board and on behalf of buyers) could have been addressed easily. Communication from Storm could have shut down all of our speculation (it could have provided post-sales support). Communication adds cost and perhaps that is why there is none. The outstanding...

Is that a picture of your bike? A Bafang motor is actually not bad and very serviceable? I don't think it is a BMP or CST which are the mainstay Bafang motors. The motor is too small to be the BMP or CST which would have been sweet. (If you want to understand how an ebike motor of this type...

I know of two e:bike companies each of which would be happy for three sales a day; both those companies have a dedicated support staff answering questions, taking returns. Both companies have product liability insurance. The lowest priced bike that would comparable to Storm is priced at...

I would be interested in more info about the bike; what motor? Assembly of the battery... what cells what electronics etc.

Ian, your http://www.gofundme.com campaign was just too funny. Crowd funding insider used the same picture as the poster-boy for this campaign without knowing the bike was assembled incorrectly. They had this to say, "It also came to light that Sondors had previously received a fraud...

Ivars is projecting his responsibility onto his customers; in this case he assigned responsibility to a bunch of ignorant-cult-bullies. Lord of the Flies it is. “I believe man suffers from an appalling ignorance of his own nature. I produce my own view in the belief that it may be something...

One of the bike shops I worked with has a repair staff of ten people working full time. I was able through a working relationship to exchange quite a bit of information. The refuse to work on any bike with cheap components. Because cheap stuff is harder to repair! They were totally burned...
