    Sondors mid-drive price increases

    My guess is that the price increase is mostly higher shipping costs going from $1400 in June 2019 to $2600 in June 2020 to $6800 in June 2021. Last I heard, the price of a container load is now hovering near $20k.

    Sondors mid-drive price increases

    Sondors has significantly increased prices on much of their eBike lineup. For example the MXS went from $1,799 to $2199... a $400 jump. While I didn't notate the prices of many of the bikes, the mid-drives prices changed as follows: Cruiser was $2,299, now $2,899 ($600 increase) LX was...

    QuickrStuff hitch bike rack

    The main thing that sold me on the Mach2 is that I have a heavy ebike (Sondors LX) on order. The LX weights 89 pounds without any accessories. 1up carriers are rated for up to 75 pounds per rack. The 2" Mach2 (single or dual racks) is 120 pounds per rack or 100 pounds each for a 3 rack setup.

    Do I need a full face motorcycle helmet?

    You'll hear this a lot from the motorcycle crowd that hates helmet laws. Your head swivels easily so there's no real limitation on vision with a full-face helmet. Go to a motorcycle dealer and try on a few helmets to see for yourself. The biggest downside of a helmet is heat. As for wearing...

    Step-through + throttle + 30-40mph

    If you want to go that fast for any length of time, you'd be better off looking at an eMotorcycle. The faster you go, the more power it takes on an upward curve. High/max speed will suck an eBike battery dry quickly. You also need to be aware that setting the LX/Cruiser at above 28 MPH is...

    Help me pick...

    From reading and watching vids a little bit, I decided I wanted the Sondors LX. But since it wasn't in stock and was "estimated" to ship in a couple of months, I bought a hub drive Sondors MXS as my first eBike. While it handles most of my riding here in Middle Tennessee fine, it does struggle...

    Nevermind

    Rather than Google, you might want to spend some time looking at the ERB reviews: https://electricbikereview.com/ It'll give you a good idea what options are available. If you find something that interests you, come back to the forums to do some more research.

    Accessories that didn’t work out?

    If number of bikes is greater than separation equaling divorce then you lose half your bikes (N/2) and number of bikes can increase nearly equal to infinity

    Accessories that didn’t work out?

    My math notation is horrible... but for your consideration: N+1 > S-1 = D (divorce) → N/2 & N+1 ≈ ∞

    Have you tried cowboy coffee?

    The point of my post was that reheating coffee changes the taste... and not for the better. Whatever brew method and beans you use, pour out the old coffee and make a fresh cup/pot rather than reheating coffee.

    Watt Wagons CrossTour Reviews

    I think this is a nonsense statement. Of course overall weight will limit range. The amount of added weight for bigger batteries will boost the range considerably more than it will hinder it. Where the weight of the batteries will come into play is if you have to ride without the motor and in...
