Of course if you are the one that has the issue, then to you, it’s a bad and valid point. But for those that don’t have ebike problems then your point is not valid. We all take risks when purchasing anything and it is time that prevails...if it’s truly a bad product then the claims will come pouring out. Until then I’m taking that 2k to the sondors bank and cant wait to find out!
SONDORS is releasing it's first mid-drive EBikes.

I think you misunderstood my post. Rich c was saying that Internet ebikes have issues, and I’m saying that all ebikes have issues.
Interesting response to my question on Sondors Ebike FB group. Hi Stephen, we hear you. The LX and Cruiser are using a 7-speed cassette, not a freewheel. The cassette freehub body will accept 7, 8, and 9 speed cassettes with Shimano splines, as well as some 10 speed systems. We are constantly testing the ebikes, and may make additional gearing changes as we did on the Rockstar

Do you know the difference in weight between the Rockstar and the LX? They both look great and I cant wait to hear feedback...
I like the LX for 3 main reasons.
1 – M620 mid-drive and HUGE 21AH battery capacity (all the Elite Class have the same motor/battery)
2 – I will be moving to my place at the beach in the next couple years and I want the FAT tires for riding on the sand. I plan to do some trail riding too, but it won't be balls out enough riding to warrant the Rockstar.
3 – The LX is $600 less than the Rockstar.

If it ever arrives...
I think the “October” bikes are not going to be delivered until November. I did not order one, but I ask about it. I think the original estimate was later in October. Then there were some delays (yada, yada, yada). Now we probably won't get any reports on actual bikes until late in November. So, the wait continues....
The thing is, I can't find any Bafang M620 bikes that are under $3K. If this bike turns out to be solid, it will be a steal at $2K. If I wait until the reports come out to order then the price of the LX my go up to be more inline with what you get (i.e. About $2.5K - $3K).

It won't be November either. Here is the email being sent to those that ordered one.
You're one of the first SONDORS Cruiser owners, and being first is the best!
And while we all love to be first, it also means we're leading the way for everyone following us, and we're ready to brave whatever lies ahead, as the reward always outweighs the risk!
And today, we're writing you with a couple of announcements...
First, we have a new estimated delivery time for your SONDORS Cruiser.
Due to the extreme demand for high-end bike components around the globe, we've encountered challenges in obtaining all the necessary components to hand-build your Cruiser within our original production timeline. Therefore, we're having to update our delivery estimate from the end of October, now to the end of December.
Secondly, we know this likely comes as a disappointment. So in the meantime, to keep you engaged, informed and excited about your new purchase, we'll be creating a series of weekly videos called "Elite Fridays".
Every week on Friday, we'll be sending you a new video highlighting the features, components, riding experiences and more of each of our Elite Mid-Drive models.
Rest assured, all of us here at SONDORS have been working day and night to bring you the best electric transportation at the best prices possible, and to build and deliver your SONDORS Cruiser as quickly and seamlessly as possible.
We don’t mind rolling up our sleeves and putting in the extra time and work, because life is truly a ride, and we’re committed to ensuring that you love yours!
While the journey of getting your SONDORS Cruiser to you may be slower than any of us would like, we also know that some things are well worth the wait—like being the first, and your SONDORS Cruiser!
Thank you for being the best part of SONDORS!"

Yes but this isn't unique to Sondors....the waiting game, the demand for Ebikes has never been greater, as more people get them, they talk about how great they are to their friends,co-workers and family it's snowballing the total demand.
For example, I have had mine for a year and I keep telling my co-worker about my ebike and now he wants to buy one for his girlfriend so she can keep up with his MTB riding.

Ignorance is bliss... I think awareness will grow in the years ahead!
Nobody's ever accused us of being overloaded with Mensa candidates...

my Rize RX has a Bafang m620, it cost $2599 shipped and it has the stock controller so its not limited to 750w like the Sonders, this could be a + or - i reckon.

I think that after the Simon Cowel incident many more know something called an ebike exists but they still don't know what they ARE.
