I decided to step back for a couple of days as I was getting stressed out at all the drama, and the behaviour of certain operatives. I also wanted to consider the implications of the latest photos and updates. I have mixed feelings about the latest photos and video. I'm glad to see that there's...

Wait until people start getting the demand emails for the additional shipping fee. You know, the one they're telling me that the government is forcing them to charge for "new" Lithium battery guidelines from last year, that don't take effect until August of this year. That's why they're...

I'm glad to see that we're at least not having our intelligence insulted with more baloney bento box pics. Those rims do look like the actual rims for the Sondors ebike, to my untrained eye. I look forward to seeing if we'll get pics of more bike parts that are specific to the Sondors, or...

First of all, call your credit card company first thing Monday morning. Most of them only allow chargebacks up to 90 days after the transaction, some allow less time than that. At least you'll know how much time you have, in case you get stonewalled by Dawson et al. If you used Paypal, go...

Back to the topic... I just received the following information from Nick at GoSondors, in response to my request for a refund. I mentioned several issues of concern in my request, including the disappearing guarantee about the shipping fees. "The shipping price is currently at $194 for U.S...

Thank you for posting this. I have yet to receive any replies to the refund request letter I sent to both IGG and GoSondors. This screenshot will be an excellent rubuttal, should they reply with their "no refunds" policy. I've noted a few people stating that it's wrong to say anything negative...

I beg to differ. UPS is being sued in a class action in Canada as we speak. This is due to their illegal gouging/extortion of customers at the door, for grossly inflated "brokerage fees". UPS will charge $20 or more on a package whose legitimate customs brokerage fee is more like $2. They also...

A screenshot of that post on Facebook and the comments - would be great ammo for a credit card company's chargeback investigation. Makes it easier to prove that Ivars never had any intention of making, selling or shipping anything to his customers - besides a wagonload of BS, that is. ;)

As far as the public's concerned, you're wrong. Most don't even know what an e-bike is. They will, when Ivars' little scheme comes to light and goes viral. And it won't be a favourable light for the ebike industry. There's already a lot of negative public attitude towards ebikers. We're seen as...

I found your questions about "who would do this and why" to be interesting, so I thought of a few replies, depending on who you are and what your stake is in all this. People don't do things without reason, even if it's a reason you aren't aware of. E-bike aficionados - the e-bike is...

Nice of them to NOT tell backers what's been going on. Everyone knows, except the mushrooms who ponied up the dough for this fiasco. Re things being in production for two weeks, first I'd heard of that as well. The fact that they can't even produce the proper bike frame for their lunchbox...

You've summed up what I've wondered all along. What do these people have to gain by rabidly and blindly promoting this crappy little startup ebike? One would think they'd have more important things to worry about in their lives. Why are they so heavily invested (not just financially) in this...

Yeah, they just painted it blue. I wonder what colour the black one will be painted for the next photo shoot?

More damn baloney sandwich box pics. But not one word about the changed policies slithered in to the crimepaign website. Like the refunds, which just went the way of the "guaranteed" shipping fee refunds. Funny how other projects include such changes in their updates, like the update I recently...

This is an interesting subject to me. After "backing" a Sondors ebike and then realizing it's unlikely to materialize until later this year (if at all) I decided to buy an existing ebike now, so I'd have some transport for this summer. I did a lot of research about the available options, and...

Zeke McFarland just hit the nail straight on the head. Poor "insurance.guy" must be crapping a yellow plastic brick right now. Ivars will dock him a week's non-pay for this.

He may be judgement proof but he's not immune to criminal charges or extradition treaties. I just got off the phone with my credit card provider's security department. They are based in the US and were already familiar with Ivars' little scheme. The cc guy suggested filing a consumer complaint...

Am I the only one who's starting to suspect that there's an underlying agenda to all these plastic baloney sandwich box pics? After all, Ivars has made a sort of career out of designing and selling his designs for plastic gewgaws (like Happy Meal toys) in the past. Maybe the real reason he's in...

Yeah, that campaign says a lot of things, doesn't it? Like that manufacturing would start in March. Still waiting for most of those things to come true, like the tooth fairy. Pretty sure I'm going to get fitted for a casket before a sondors is delivered. ;) But seriously folks, I took a look at...

I don't recall seeing or reading any evidence of this in Sondors updates, just wondering where you found this information? After all, it's pretty hard to ship anything when it hasn't been built yet. Unless you meant that Ivars is shipping the two prototypes back to the US for another demo day?
