Sondors' goes upmarket with a cheapish fast bike
Full suspension high powered (Bafang Ultra), high speed 48V 21Ah mountain bike for $2500. Ok, I'm curious. Its good to see him branching out like this.
5 years ago I was one of his biggest naysayers, when I saw he was selling a 350 watt 20mph bike (which in itself was a stretch). But when i documented that his sales video was a "protoype" running 72v and 3000 watts doing close to 30mph - so fast it didn't even have pedals! pulled back from the kickstarter and let other people be the guinea pig. But he really came through with a nice bike at a great price. Kinda curious as to what this one will be like IRL (as the "photo" is just a mockup). (I can't imagine needing a 52 tooth cog with a 1000+ watt motor)
