The first three models all fit into the more traditional electric bicycle categories, although none are by any means “traditional.” SONDORS Cruiser e-bike (Photos credit for all images: DOC) SONDORS LX, Cruiser, & Rockstar So while some of these models are just now starting to show up on reservation holders’ doorsteps, all four bikes were new to us as we took our first look at the latest models. While the SONDORS LX and Cruiser step-through models have just started shipping, the Rockstar electric mountain bike and MadMods electric moped won’t ship until later this winter and spring, respectively. The bikes were originally unveiled throughout the summer and fall of 2019, a chaotic period in the e-bike industry when the COVID-19 pandemic was causing huge delays in production. On a sunny Los Angeles morning earlier this week, Electrek team member David O’Connell (aka DOC) met up with SONDORS product director Matt Irish to check out the new e-bikes.įour shiny new electric bikes were laid out before a mix of trails and tarmac. Electrek can also get you $50 off one of the new e-bikes (or any e-bike from SONDORS, for that matter) by getting a personalized coupon code. We got the chance to test out the company’s latest four models including the SONDORS Rockstar, Cruiser, LX, and the upcoming SONDORS MadMods electric moped. To date, reservations are open with a $ 299 deposit, and delivery is expected in June 2021.Electric bicycle company SONDORS has been busy over the last six months, unveiling a handful of new e-bikes and rushing them into production. It remains to be seen, however, how Sondors will set up the bike, not being able to count on other premium components to keep the price down. The price to take the mid-drive eBike home will be $ 2,599, very competitive for the promised powers. Sondors Rockstar is available in three color options, Slate, Supernova, and Matte Black. The seat post can be operated remotely and integrates led lighting. In the aluminum alloy frame “forged and machined to measure,” all the brake and gear cables are routed. The differentiating feature of the Sondors Rockstar is that it has, in addition to a front suspension fork, and a rear suspension with a 150 mm travel. In order to transfer the enormous forces to the rear wheel without disturbance, the gear is selected via a robust 7-speed derailleur with grip shift.
Sondors Rockstar is probably packing the largest battery on the market, and in part, it clear to see the shape from the generous down tube where it is housed. What is most surprising, however, is the battery, with operation at 48 volts and 21 Ah cells, or about 1,000 Wh of capacity. Like many American-made eBikes, Rockstar is based on a Bafang powertrain, with the M620 engine (also known as Bafang Ultra) peaking at 1,500W of power and 160Nm of torque.Īccording to Sondors, the autonomy that it should offer in everyday use will move between 64 and 96 kilometers with each charge.
In recent days, it has opened pre-orders for the new eMTB Sondors Rockstar, which features powertrain features that certainly attract attention. In the past, Sondors had already made itself known for some eBikes in the price list with very competitive prices, but now it has really surpassed itself.
