12/30/2023 0 Comments Sondors rockstar mods![]() Vintagent Profiles Editor Greg Williams interviewed Storm for this story, and shares the back story on the creation of SONDORS. ![]() More recently, he turned his attention to disrupting the e-Moto scene by revealing the dramatic Metacycle, with a futuristic cast-aluminum chassis and an industry-beating low price tag. SONDORS is now one of the largest e-Bike manufacturers in the USA, and is distributed in 42 countries. His vision was to build affordable e-Bikes, and got his start via the second-most successful Indiegogo fundraiser in history, which exceeded its goal by 7000%. Storm Sondors, while born in Latvia, has made his fortune in the USA, first in toy manufacturing, and now in electric vehicles with his company SONDORS. Our 11 designers are brave pioneers, embracing what could be the future of mobility, digging in on what design features make EVs unique, and challenging our ideas of ‘what is a car or motorcycle?’ Each of these designers is tackling a different set of issues, illustrating the wide-open nature of EV design at this early stage of the industry. But if your half a$$ed mechanically inclined it’s not a big deal, just do the work yourself.Now on view at the Petersen Automotive Museum in LA is our latest moto-centric exhibit: Electric Revolutionaries. Curated and concepted by Paul d’Orléans, the exhibit focusses on 11 designers making an impact on the electric mobility scene, each in very different ways from top speed to accessible mobility, from aesthetic perfection to hand-cobbled and crude, from luxury to mass market to one-off. The only downfall I see is not having a bike shop local to provide support for the bike ie. I’ll be into my rockstar with upgrades for $4500 cdn no tax shipped to my door. Went and looked at a few shops to check some bikes out and to get an ebike that compares to the rockstar with all my upgrades I’m doing to it I’d have to spend around $6500 cdn plus tax and it’s a less powerful motor and no throttle. Most our bikes are imported to a shop that re sells and with our dollar being bad and our government making it near impossible with massive a taxes and import fees to run a decent business like a bike shop the deals just aren’t there. In Canada we don’t have a bunch of bike manufacturers so it’s not like we have a lot to choose from to order direct. So basically as long as the battery, motor and associated electronics work as they should there is no issue I can see. ![]() Take good care of the battery so it lasts years, hopefully it outlasts this minor cough and cold plandemic our useless liberal leaders have bought into. Pretty much all wear parts on the rockstar are standard like brakes, chains, tires, derailleur, suspension. What’s parts can’t you source? Anything I’ve wanted to upgrade has been easy to find, got a shelf full of stuff waiting to put on my rockstar. And Gmanx beat it, your not a sondors owner, and don’t you have some bike paths to build? Or are you still waiting for your fearless woke govt to do it all for But if your half a$$ed mechanically inclined it’s not a big deal, just do the work yourself.
