    Thanks George and Ann, I will check it those out... Hopefully we will get out RadRovers soon... I will definitely... study up and learn how to properly charge/maintain the RR Samsung battery pack... Especially since they are almost half the cost of the bike...

    If you want a few more features ...Easy set-up Small GPS navigators are available for around $45... Make sure you turn it off when not moving ... but 6-7 hrs on a AA alkaline battery is not to bad.... And you can where it jogging too... But why would you jog when you could ride your bike...

    You would think that since the battery is one of the most important components on an Ebike... A detailed care and maintenance booklet would be included... I just read it is not good to store Lipo batteries at full charge... is that right... Will/can the charger stop before full charge?? Hybrid...

    Doesn't this "upgraded battery" have a low voltage cut-off? If so, you really can't run the battery all the way to zero and risk damage??

    Andrian, Phrodos, If you don't mind, how much is the duty on a $1000 RR? If shipping is $558, that leaves $400 import duty, 40%, why so high, is it because it is a Chinese product? M

    Any mechanical item that is regularly used, will usually last longer if the owner has knowledge on maintenance . Right , but most Sondors ownners, who probably bought this bike on a whim and for its looks will not be doing regular, prudent maintenance (like above) or set-up to begin with...

    40M+ bikes every year... at that rate ... 1 in 7 people on earth could have a Chinese ebike in just 25 yrs time... That's with zero population growth... but surely the non-chinese ebike makers can pick-up the slack... Just an observation... I wonder how a Chinese factory worker actually...

    Joe, Which Stromer model do you have and what body of water are you guys riding into?? In this old vid the rider doesn't get wet until the 48 sec mark... I was hoping he would ride off that cliff straight into the water... still a cool scene as coastkid71 emerges and rides off...water still...

    ebikedelight wrote about power and range, "A perfect example, is Court. He weighs around 135 lbs { which is way below average weight of a grown adult in America} . For a person like Court, the Sondors ebike may have plenty of speed power but for a person who weighs 230 lbs, it may be severely...

    Sondors, Sonders (yes they should have fixed that by now) As for Sondors being a "brand"... that's a stretch at this point... Regarding the posts by Joe Motostrano, he owns busy motorcycle and bike shop, we're lucky he took the time a all to post their observations... Who would he be...

    Phrodos, They do that here in California... At least we've noticed that with Amazon orders... So we don't get to see the end over end "special" delivery... Our mailman, Tony has better manners...

    Maybe they should just label them as TV's with wheels... they do have small lcd screens... UPS hasn't got the best CS record... I thought UPS didn't work in Norway?? Sorry... I don't think I'm helping..

    What does your RR weigh now with fixed fork and new wheel/tire tube combos??? I would ask Mike Rad... or some other wheel experts before I would attempt to drill these rims... Many years ago I drilled out my '75 Norton 850's solid rotors and it was a major chore... looked cool, but no...
