Sondors, the electric bike manufacturer, is facing some serious trouble, and it’s a situation that’s leaving many customers frustrated and disappointed. 😟🚲
Reports are pouring in about Sondors’ struggles to fulfill pre-orders for their Metacycles. This has led to growing customer discontent and uncertainty about the company’s future. 📰🔍
The story of Sondors’ woes goes back to 2015 when they introduced their E-Bike, which promised affordability at just $500. However, even then, there were doubts about whether it was too good to be true. Customers did eventually receive their bikes, but they were often late and didn’t quite live up to the promised features. 🚴♂️💸
Fast forward to more recent times, and Sondors decided to take on electric motorcycles with the Metacycle. It sounded fantastic – an urban electric motorcycle with a sleek, futuristic design for $5,000. The catch? Customers had to pay the full amount upfront. Sadly, the delivery took much longer than expected, with some waiting for up to two years! 😮🏍️
But the problems didn’t end there. The final product turned out to be almost 50% heavier than the concept, and the aluminum frame was replaced with a matte gray one, much to customers’ disappointment. This prompted many to demand refunds, which Sondors struggled to provide. They even attempted an IPO, but it didn’t work out. 💰📉
In a desperate move, Sondors held a flash sale in March 2023, offering the Metacycle for just $4,000, attracting 1,000 more pre-orders. They also introduced a new concept motorcycle, the MetaBeast, at competitive prices. Despite these efforts, it appears Sondors still couldn’t get back on track. 🛵💥

Currently, there are still numerous customers waiting for their Metacycles, some for over a year, and the chances of them receiving their bikes seem to be diminishing by the day. 😔📆
To make matters worse, Sondors’ headquarters in Los Angeles are reportedly permanently closed, and the website no longer accepts pre-orders. The brand’s communication has gone silent, frustrating both the media and its customers. 😡🏢❌
Angry customers are now discussing the possibility of a class-action lawsuit against Sondors, and there’s even an alleged fraud investigation by the Attorney General of California in progress. 🤬🤝🔍
It’s a sad and frustrating situation for everyone involved, and it remains to be seen what the future holds for Sondors and its customers. 🤷♂️🌟
