I haven't checked in a while but it does look like Sondors went under.

After using a torque sensor with a rear-hub (Soltera.2), I'm not too keen on it. Could be the 350w motor but after going back to my 500w with cadence sensor, I prefer the way it feels vs the torque sensor. I'm glad Lectric finally has a full-size bike in it's lineup... too bad it doesn't fold...

This was actually earlier this week but Ride1Up has permanently dropped prices on many of their models: https://electrek.co/2024/04/09/why-a-leading-electric-bike-company-just-slashed-nearly-all-its-prices/ I always thought R1U was already affordable so this is good for anyone on the fence.

You will probably have to wait for EVs to become more widespread and have options like removable/replaceable batteries. Current best case usage for EVs is local commuting with home/work charging or decent public infrastructure.

I think Lectric prefers dealing with hub drive motors probably for cost scale and support/maintenance.

@PatriciaK That's what I say... PHEVs are actually the worst of both worlds because you still have the ICE maintenance, low EV range and the worrisome ICE/EV interchange. Someone on Electrek asked me why it's not the best of both worlds and I said because most PHEVs don't have 300mi EV range...

When someone else put this in a 27.5+" form factor, I'll get it. In this 20" space... I'd probably stick with the Portola for a folder which just edges out the XP 3.0.

They should build these in vacant parking lots like office buildings where many went remote or outdoor malls that are dead during the evening. Or just retrofit parking garages that aren't as crowded anymore.

Yes... they said that... but I'm sure having most of the weight in the back contributes to that.

Actually 55 pounds so middle of the road. Don't really like where the battery is either... and the test riders are wondering why the front tire lifts up when they throttle it. :)

Supposed to be a better cadence sensor... 96 magnets vs 12 that are in most cadence sensors. I have a torque sensor Aventon... I actually prefer the cadence sensor for casual riding... and hills.

Put me down for White Castle meh. Went to Indiana over 25 years ago and visited one in a sketchy area. Me and my buddy were trying to figure out what the hype was about after eating the first one... and it didn't get better after the 2nd. Went to TX a few months ago, and Whataburger in TX was...

As soon as my Ioniq 5 lease is done... I'm getting the EV9 (if not sooner)... it fits my oversized body, has quick DC charging... and is the lower trims are cheap enough for me.

So my wife has that same range anxiety thing... but I got tired of driving ICE for my main vehicle when it was used mostly for local (she was driving my Tesla). So got her a PHEV because of this fear... of which we've still never road tripped after 6 months because all the vacations she wants to...

Just rent an ICE for your occasional road trips. :) EVs foreverrrrrr!!!!!!
