Those fat tires on the LX feature true knobbies and thus were even better equipped for the morning’s trail riding.
The SONDORS LX on the other hand adds an air suspension fork and even wider tires that further improve the ride. The hybrid-style tread actually performed decently well off-road, though the lack of suspension in either the fork or frame means that you’re relying entirely on the balloon tires and a suspension seat post to smooth out the ride. It sports wide handlebars and balloon-style white-wall tires. The SONDORS Cruiser is, as you may have guessed, the truer-to-form for a classic cruiser bike. The SONDORS LX and Cruiser are both step-through models that feature a more laid-back, cruiser-style geometry.
SONDORS ROCKSTAR MANUAL FULL
However, SONDORS has decided not to push the motors to their full potential, instead operating them with a 25A limit that results in a nominal rating of 750W and a peak wattage figure in the low 1,000s. They all feature the Bafang Ultra mid-drive motor that is notorious for its massive power potential. 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. I feel like I'm in an old Heinz Ketchup commercial trying to tell myself that good things come to those who wait.Electric bicycle company SONDORS has been busy over the last six months, unveiling a handful of new e-bikes and rushing them into production. Would you say that is accurate? Hopefully next post says I love this new Rockstar. I've read that the Sur On stock is similar to a 110cc pit bike. Sure would like to see what you think about the upgrades to the Sur On if you do them. I'm just hoping my Rockstar gets here before the trails are closed to dirt bikes when this year's fire restrictions kick in. I'm sure that'll get longer as stimulus checks come in. Who knows if it would show up in time for summer anyway but it looks like the Rockstar order dates are into August as of now. Although they claim 2000 Watts peak and nearly 40 miles an hour still definitely not a 250 2 stroke or 450 4-stroke contender. Have you seen the videos of the Luna cycle Sur On hotrod bike that supposedly can keep up with or even beat a 450 4 stroke in a street race? Have you looked at the Luna X1? Probably run about $1,000 more than that Rockstar but definitely looks like regular bike and it's supposed to be powerful and have higher end components than the Rockstar.
Still haven't gotten my Rockstar but saw someone else did.
