    Awesome thank you for keeping me posted. Hope it goes exactly as planned. And that's encouraging that they responded to you so quickly.

    Sondors XS is on the way

    Good to know @Tone Rob For whatever reason in my mind I've already told myself that a delay in shipping may be inevitable. Sorry to hear that yours is delayed. Hoping this company is in a better place than they were a few years ago with all of the negative reviews from then.

    Sondors XS is on the way

    With my fat tire Sondors XS on the way sometime in August, I felt like now would be a good time to introduce myself to any fellow X or XS owners. I'm looking for any tips, tricks, or great accessories to add. I've done a good bit of research and have bought a few things for my bike. I don't yet...

    I got back on that Pedego fat bike today for a couple hours. Took the battery from 100% to 37%. Worked it to death on hills. Wanted to see how it performed in that environment. It had a 500w motor, but I just know I wasn't really riding it how I should to baby it or save the battery. I can...

    Good to know @AHicks ! I'm hoping I can lay off that throttle a bit more than I did on the test ride with the Pedego. I was King Lazy with that thing. Throttle all day long.

    I could have taken 6 pretty easily. The market is simply saturated with options and I really could spend forever watching and reading reviews (I probably still will). I don't think that's a bad thing as I love choice, but it's a lot to wrap my head around. I normally take a considerable amount...

    I knew I had to compromise on a few things that I wasn't super stoked about. Something as small as the throttle being a thumb trigger instead of twist. Other little details almost turned me off too. (a Sondors fanatic on youtube really turned me off to the brand. Won't ever be joining their...

    Thank you man! There were a few choices on the list: #1 Rad Rover 5 - because of the online support and community for the product. Seems to have endless customization options too. #2 Sondors X - due to it's price. ($1,000). That was appealing when I cared about saving money initially (dude on...

    Found one that shipped in August and made that leap yesterday! https://electricbikereview.com/sondors/xs/ I had misread ship date (or it changed) and was able to get it in. Very excited.

    So I've ordered myself my first fat tire ebike. Thankfully I can enjoy a taste of Summer since this one is August shipping. I think I read somewhere late August, but August nonetheless. Gusss I should have ordered this in the Spring if I wanted something for Summer. Probably wouldn't have been...

    Well, I got bold and was ready to make a RadRover5 purchase. Was ready to click the order and then I read "Ships September". Heart sank. I need a dang summer bike. So I said.. ok.. I guess maybe the Sondors XS then. Go to the site, same shipping estimate. Then i really am ready to change my...

    Thanks for the reply, @vtuvia! That camo certainly doesn't hurt. That's an awesome visual style and right down my alley. I do think the price is a little more than I'm comfortable putting down for a first eBike, but I'm going to research this bike more to determine if going over my budget is...

    I'm new. To EBR and eBikes

    Hey everybody! Thanks for making me feel welcome! I've already experienced a lot of helpful folks in the "Help Choosing an eBike" section with a thread I started about looking for a budget friendly (under $1500) bike for mountain roads (preferably a fat tire bike). Rented a Pedego Trail Tracker...

    I'll add that these are the bikes that my entry level searches gave me right off the bat. Like I said, that RadRover 5 is at the top, but a few others are considered: RadRover 5 Sondors X (Some things steer me away from this one though) Himiway Cruiser (know the least about this one) Ride1Up...

    Great replies! @AHicks I have seen a number of videos now that show a few different customizations for the Red Rover which I enjoyed a good bit. Initially even the budget priced RedRover 5 is still steep for me. Initially I wanted to spent 1k but it seems that severely cripples my ability to...

    New to e-bikes and this forum, but have done some casual research for the past month or so and looking to purchase my first e-bike. I live on a mountain that has many hills that are preventing me from enjoying more of the beauty around me. I'm looking for a bike that will help assist me with a...

    So I'm new. Being the new guy isn't terribly desirable, quite honestly. I'm going to have some stupid questions. Some noobishness will be involved. But I am familiar with the search button, how it works, and the fact that it is a very powerful tool indeed. I'll still be asking the dumb...
