I have sent an email to Sonders asking them about the delay of the Rockstar, I'm hoping to get a reply early next week.

If Sondors didn't have a track record I would be getting nervous.
I have no idea when I might receive my [PAID FOR] batch 2 Rockstar.
We were told we would be receiving weekly updates/info on our undelivered bikes
but even that seems to much to ask for?
Come on Sondors get your [stuff together] communicate!

Rockstar pre-orderer for Feb delivery here too.
Stupid question. Anyone know why they insist on full payment before shipping? I could see a hefty deposit and the balance due at shipping. Do you think the factory requires upfront payments before building batches? In my personal industry IT, factories invoice when they are shipped.
Just curious as to why they need all this cash outlay prior to shipping anything. Makes me nervous too. They could fold and not pay any of the money back..

Seems like it is out of Sondors hands, sitting on the water waiting..........COVID slows everything down, I see it in my industry all the time, I am dealing with vendors all over North America and they have people calling in sick all the time COVID or not, they can't come to work. This is causing crazy backlogs in the supply chain. One entire compressor factory shut down last month, the entire staff either got Covid or had to self quarantine. Imagine production wiped out for a whole month. If the receiving docks have people calling in sick like the rest of the industry, be prepared to wait even longer.

I can understand that, if they are just sitting there close than it's only going to be a short time before they will be processed and shipped.
Thanks for the idea Timpo. I believe that the Bafang Ultra controller is integrated in the motor, though, and thus you'd have to change it out, right? I have little experience in this domain.What about ASI BAC 800?
(I believe this is what Grin Phaserunner is based on)
It's $50
36V-72V
2000W-4000W
Luna's website says it can be programmed to run BBSHD, but I wonder if Luna would program it for Ultra.
(though, Ultra might run fine with BBSHD programming?)

I feel for all those waiting..... it isn't SONDORS fault.
"The Los Angeles Times reported that nearly 700 dockworkers at the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach have contracted COVID-19, and hundreds more have had to take virus-related leave, creating the potential for a debilitating slowdown. As of Jan. 20, a total of 45 ships were waiting to unload—the largest bottleneck in six years."

Since it appears Sondors is no longer sending out emails on "Elite Fridays" I figured I'd posts this here. They post a lot of videos on Vimeo I found this one today.

That video is the best thing I have seen so far, I'm really looking forward to being able to get one of these in an about 2 months.

Also I noticed that they are now showing a LX assembly video in which many of
Parts are going to be the same as well as the sequence in which it's being put together. This has to mean that we are going to be getting feedback on the first Elite series bikes very soon.

Cruisers coming in 3 weeks, with ugly black rims instead of the gold rims that they showed months back, very disappointing!!!!!

Did you mean the wheels are going to be all black?

You get your Frey. Rockstars have seen another delay. But I may just get my LX before you get your Frey. We'll see.
