However, there is a throttle included in the box which you can easily mount, and it’s quite easy to change the top speed in the display settings, with options for 20mph, 28mph, and 35mph. The LX arrives with a Class 3 sticker indicating a top speed of 28mph and pedal assist only. I’ve heard it can handle as much as 3,000 watts! The 750 watt configuration helps to increase range, of course, and also makes the LX street legal in California and other places that have 750 watt limits for electric bicycles. The Bafang Ultra M620 motor is configured to draw 750 watts of power on the LX, but it’s capable of handling a lot more power than that.The LX joins with the Cruiser and Rockstar as the first mid-drive ebikes from SONDORS, all of their other models rely on geared rear hub motors, which offer great value and durability at the cost of performance and responsiveness.Most people know them for their electric bicycles, but they’re also working on cars, motorcycles, and… a fishing reel?! SONDORS has a fascinating history in the Ebike space, with a reputation for bold claims, crowd-funded campaigns, and creating a surprisingly wide range of electric products.I welcome your corrections, additions, and feedback in the comments below and the SONDORS electric bike forums. My goal is to be transparent and unbiased with you, this video and writeup are not meant to be an endorsement of SONDORS products. To date, reservations are open with a $ 299 deposit, and delivery is expected in June 2021.This in-depth review was produced for free, but I would like to thank eBikes USA for providing the test bike used here. 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.
