    Sondors Ebike Review Now Live

    Court did his Court thing... what we've come to expect... Judging by how fast he got rid of this bike... I would guess he would be happier if he never saw one again... Maybe the bike shop he sold it to could do some more testing and post..

    Surely, this can't be the 1st complete ebike imported to Norway... and don't call me Shirley... (Naked Gun)

    Lawsuit... against whom UPS deserves one.. RR is doing okay by me... They've kept in touch.. It is typhoon season, Chan-Hom (cat. 4 hurricane force) battered Okinawa, 7/9,10 then headed north making landfall in east China on 7/12 then weekend.. I can only guess what this does to shipping...

    Anybody with a RR have one of those stationary bike rollers? If one could determinate the exact wattage used to go 15 mph on the flat.. Theoretically you could set the throttle at i.e.. 200 w and walk away.. If you had a speedometer/odometer on the rear wheel... even better... Well on 2nd...

    One thing I'll say is pretty clear, this bike seems to like going around 14-15mph. I can take it up to 20 or more but feel like I'm burning too many watts to do so; riding around 14-15 the watt meter is around the 150-250 range, which should get some good distance out of the bike (maybe someone...

    Rally, I thought you meant is was in an UPS office over there... Maybe you should send your own shipping label and laminate it for extra measure...

    Pretty cool George, Bumping the pedaling mph 5 (10-15) which also bumped actual speed 15-20 equates to only a loss of 2 miles or range 51-49... I'll play with it some more but a good start... at 20mph pedaling 30 actual... that's cooking... range goes down to 26 This is with a 10ah/...

    Phrodos, At least you know where your bike is... Can't you go down there and grab it?? The 60 bike batch 2, (our batch) is apparently lost at sea during tropical storm /typhoon Chan-Hom... just kidding I hope... It seems #2 will be delayed until August 17th... but at least they seem...

    Ouch...The bold text is hurting my eyes... It would be nice if there was a standardized performance test for all mass produced ebikes. Range seems to be the most elusive..

    22 The sun was in his eyes... E6.... He tried for 13 then 15 averaged 14.2... Kind of a wacky test he stops or turns around every 8 odd minutes... And there is no video of him actually riding the Sondors??? E6...error on the shortstop

    Thanks George , I was in a hurry doing the math.. Another way ... At a continuos 225 w for 1.5 hrs= 337.5w / 36v = 9.375 amp/hrs or more than the Sondors battery is rated... so it is more like a continuos 211 w for 1.5 hrs+ 8.8 amp/hrs.. but now we are splitting hairs... We really...

    Thanks, saw that but it's just a Garmin "Connect" graph... link... I thought there was a video of Craig if this is the same guy??

    Maybe... but the battery is only 316 w/hrs I just find it hard to believe that at constant 15w discharge you can sustain 14, 15mph... Like I said I wish I were wrong... I don't expect any where near 15 or 20 miles on a RR without pedaling...

    Where is this video? Is this Craig's video?

    Vincent, I almost pulled the trigger on 2 Storms, as they were called early, but after a few days, and research I decided someone/something wasn't right... I eventually went with the RadRover, and only after their team personally responded to my ?'s I hope to pick up the RRs... I bought 2...

    Too bad an LA County DA or Judge didn't buy an yellow/orange bike.. maybe then we could get some real answers??

    It's good to see some happy people getting their bikes ... they do look pretty cool in the pics... especially the one with black fenders and rack... Almost a ninja grocery getter... The all black bike will be the real ninja... According to the last update #50, Sondors needs the shipping and...

    This is not most ebikes, its a 61 lb fat tired ebike plus a 161 lb rider using 15 watt hr... 15 watts is only .02 hp ... It just seems like too much rolling resistance to overcome... I wish I was wrong but it just does not compute... What am I missing?

    It looks a lot like this other Chinese bike without the gears... All this one needs is a plastic triangle box , fenders and a rack...if you are just going for looks...
