    Lord of the flies it is! Here we go; most bike shops I spoke to as part of my own business due diligence want NOTHING to do with ebikes and they want nothing to do with cheap bikes. Nor do they want to take a small amount of money from you in exchange for huge liability. We are back to the...

    I view it as a humorous matter of "irony" as it evokes feelings of cynicism, mockery, and vindication as enthusiastic "assembler number one" was just spared "the consequences" of having his rake and trail, steering, and braking effected. Not to say that, none of us know to what extent (or...

    Looks to me that one of the first Sondors ebikes that was delivered was installed with the front fork reversed in relation to the handlebar! https://res.cloudinary.com/indiegogo-media-prod-cld/image/upload/c_limit,w_620/v1436223069/mitedlcl6i74hbla8adl.png Sondors seems to have realized this...

    Per Sondors the number of bikes ordered is close to 10,000. Folks that get a bike delivered to them will be happy for a variety of reasons. When things go wrong with some percentage of the bikes? On the 29th assuming the court hearing goes forward?

    Those don;t look to be 10g or 12g spokes on the rear wheel. What is going to happen (especially as people perceive this to be an off road bike) is they are going to fail and snap. As Hurley mentioned this can be very very potentially fatally dangerous on the front wheel, and both dangerous and...

    Assembly videos are a hoot; they show the "quality !?! " of the bike. The battery installation and wheel reflector vids show the cheap quality off in technicolor. The battery sort of fits in the flexing box with the wires routed between the box and the frame; The rims show the "quality"...

    Lets say that 100% of the bikes are delivered and are of reasonably good quality; --Product liability insurance? Where is it --Post sales support? Where is it --Will there be a company remaining to support a brand? Unlikely, given the lawsuit and the preexisting track record. This is a pump...

    FOB DESTINATION The way it is structured is that individuals are buying a bike from the manufacturer, who in this instance is Sondors. The manufacturer chose to produce his bikes in China with follow on import into the US. He chose UPS as his transportation vendor and then arranged for...

    My actions demanding accountability are not depriving anyone of a product they paid for. Great efforts were made by myself, Tynan, Court, Ann, and others to slow down, challenge, and stop the propaganda campaign of Storm IGG and Agency 2.0 before people were financially burned. I also...

    1) Storm has a judgement against him for civil fraud due to nonpayment and an outstanding lawsuit for the same = Deadbeat 2) The CPSC, CPB, and FTC were all alerted to the fact that this bike will not conform to laws or standards 3) Storm cannot pay everyone and provide a bike at the same time...

    Is the tariff you pay on bicycle parts or an assembled bicycle? Asking Storm whether or not he would be subject to tariffs and import duties was a question asked of him early on. It was one of the many unanswered questions.

    Because the website was never updated; the court date is still set for late July. As to the tariff schedule for assembled and motorized bicycles; the code you cite does not apply here as far as I can tell. The CPSC has the authority to Seize products, or destroy products) that violate...

    If anything is being repeated it would be denial of fact. Karl, at the Market Ticker had this to say about UBER but it also applies to the crowdfunding of bikes. Have long argued that most of the so-called "sharing" economy is nothing more than regulatory arbitrage; finding ways to cheat on...

    Yan, I ran some numbers as well, when the first pictures of "the warehouse" were shown. It is just a warehouse being used to assemble parts that were produced elsewhere. There was a painting station in one of the previous pictures, as well as a wheel assembly operation. There was also a...
