    Death on a Sondors

    Being upset about the "truth" on your part does not make the telling of the same factual truth trolling no more than it makes a fact false. You are trying to shut down critical thinking. The fact is that a death occurred on a Sondors (as was predicted here prior to thousands being sold on the...

    Death on a Sondors

    Ebike and bicycles are covered by "strict liability." I would argue that Sondors is responsible in full or in part. Under strict liability the lack of documentation might be all that would be required to prove fault in part to sondors. Sondors never defined how the product should " be...

    Sondors is a "judgement" proof company without depth or product liability insurance. The sale has been structured as to prevent owners from finding financial recourse. Additionally Sondors is engaged in a lawsuit for non-payment to one of his key vendors. There may be significant danger...

    Death on a Sondors

    Actually that is the way the tort law is practiced and works; All Parties in the Chain of Distribution As a general principle, you want to include any and all parties involved in the chain of distribution (the path that the product takes from manufacture to distribution to the customers) of the...

    Death on a Sondors

    I know small bike shops and manufacturer-importers (including Big Cat) that do the right thing and pony up for product liability insurance. They are providing PL because it is the right thing to do both for consumers and for the longevity of a company. Companies that don't have PL should be...

    Death on a Sondors

    This industry operates under the theory of STRICT LIABILITY. Under this legal theory this means that a bike manufacturer will be held responsible under a very wide variety of circumstances. The lack of documentation from Sondors makes the scope even greater. A manufacturer would have...

    Death on a Sondors

    "the man then lost control of the eBike and was ejected onto the pavement as a result of the collision." I have seen failed electrical systems on ebikes whereby the throttle engages and the brakes won't override. The result is you can get "ass launched" into traffic; sometimes the front wheel...

    Death on a Sondors

    Some throttles are very cheap.. It could be a shorted throttle which would cause the bike to lurch or stay at full power. Obviously if you are dead nothing is going to help you; but when you buy an ebike you should do so from a company that can stand behind it from a liability perspective...

    http://mauinow.com/2015/10/19/lahaina-man-succumbs-to-injuries-in-deadly-ebike-crash/ There was a death on a Sondors bike. Odds are that this guy was drunk or on drugs. However, since Sondors is judgement proof (and does not carry insurance) there is no recourse if Sondors contributed to...
