I hope it's a big elevator!

I agree, the weight makes it feel a lot more sturdy and stable when riding. It's counter-intuitive, one would think that a heavy bike would be more difficult to control... but once you're moving it is awesome. I could see stopping/starting being difficult for small riders, and anyone who lives...

Hey Kirk, I think I responded to you in the review comments section too :) We weighed it at the shop using a proper bicycle scale, just a hair over 89 pounds. That weight felt right to me, the only heavier ebike I've ridden was the Juiced HyperScorpion which was way up at 105 with the tall...

When I talk to people who are on the fence about ebikes I just tell them to try one out for one ride, by the end of it they're asking me where and how to buy one. It's hard to quantify the fun factor on paper! I'm glad to hear you got such a great deal on your first one too! Welcome to EBR and...

You are correct, it takes more than slapping a tiny electric motor on a bike for it to be a motor vehicle. No, it's a safety rule to prevent accidents and injuries in the drive-thru. They provide plenty of accommodations for you - handicapped parking spots, numerous apps where you can get the...

Thanks for sharing this here, I had been chatting with folks about all three bikes in the Rockstar thread which is why I shared it there :) I think that a lot of the specs from SONDORS are estimates or based on early prototypes. Things change by the time the bike is production ready... and...

Most restaurants with a drive-thru don't serve bicycles due to safety reasons. I'm not sure what the cutoff is for ebike vs motorcycle, and ultimately individual restaurants may or may not follow their own rules. When I worked at McDonalds I would serve people on bikes or even walking up, I...

I think storing it at around 50% is a good rule of thumb, you don't want to store it at 100%, and running out to 0% anytime is hard on the cells. One of the best things you can do is take it off your bike and store it inside instead of in the garage, or worse outside in harsh weather and more...

Not sure if someone else commented on this and I missed it... but I think "estimate" is the key word here. There's lots that can cause delays that are outside of Himiway's control. It's a bummer that you can't take it on your trip, but surely you aren't buying the bike just for this trip? If...

Mention away! This is very valuable feedback for fellow riders, since it's your direct experience as a customer :) Glad to hear you were able to find them and get riding so soon! And welcome to EBR :)

The shop I'm working with in Denver still hasn't gotten their shipment of Rockstars... but my LX review is done! Very impressed with it overall. Full review is here: https://electricbikereview.com/sondors/lx/

Confirmed on my Samsung tablet too... huh, another weird one! checking this out too. I like that idea, especially as the forum grows and there are LOTS of new posts happening all the time... seeing just new threads would help streamline things. I'll see what I can do!

I'll agree it's a huge, heavy bike... but I have to disagree with you here. What is "low range" for you? As for hills, it's a beast on those as long as you shift down to low gear. I just spent several hours with one for a review, zooming right up hills even with just the throttle. 35 pounds...

100% agree. A tech I met last year said it best: "Forget about battery pack range, what's your butt range?"

Just speculation, but I wonder how long those shops will be able to survive. Ebikes are steadily growing in popularity and servicing them is a great revenue opportunity for any shops willing to "get with the times", if you will. Not that non-electric bikes are going anywhere... but any shop that...

I checked with Houshmand and verified the same, 500 for the Current. After doing so many reviews for EBR I think I'm desensitized to manufacturer specs being not quite right 🤣 I can understand DB not listing the bikes for sale on their website yet... but some informational pages certainly...

Ooh, I like this idea a lot! Also a great suggestion, the current shade is hard to distinguish. I'll play around with it - updated to invert colors, much more visible :)

They are super loud, some of the loudest I have ridden on. Even in Eco they were significantly louder than the Bafang Ultra on the SONDORS LX! Definitely not stealthy... which is unfortunate since they are so stealthy in appearance. I wonder if the extra cover around the bottom of the motor is...

I had a blast on it, the Current was my favorite out of all of them. I usually ride an old steel frame road bike so the Current felt like a dream by comparison 🤣 I believe it has standard hub spacing up front so you could bump up the tires a bit... but the stock ones felt great. I'll have to...
