The $5000 Electric Motorcycle - Sondors Metacycle Review

foreign if you want to paint the city green and five thousand dollars makes a lot of monets that buys four kilowatts of lithium which perfectly fits beneath a lane splitting handlebar it's perfectly enough for 10 seconds of 133 kilometers an hour perfectly enough to revert to an Eco 112 and after an equal mix of tarmac traffic and twisties it'll perfectly Traverse your Urban World 79.3 kilometers now we have four hours and 38 minutes to wait and worry see sondor's promised a removable battery but it requires two tools in two minutes by that logic my Yamaha has a removable engine they also trimmed the weight to 300 pounds ah well a gentleman would never say it the emperor also wore adjustable Forks but again they're just not and the stock setup is all compression damping and no rebound damping so the ride is both harsh and bouncy and I could fix concrete Jello if it had clickers the most dubious rumor of all however was 0 to 60 in six seconds see the neat thing about physics is that it obeys laws sondor specs 130 foot-pounds of torque 150 by 60 R17 wheel well we can do that math 176 newton meters 0.306 meter lever unless that tire is inflated with pure leprechaun farts 0-60 will be on the order of 10.6 foreign touche but that's typical of Hud Motors they're encased in a single gear so they pull like scooters off the line like six hundreds from 40 to 60 and like 300s at the top end we knew what to expect [Music] foreign [Music] foreign speed and that it'll still make 64.9 kilometers at a steady 100. sandors didn't even brag about their bullishly large brake disc nor tubeless spoked wheels allowing for exotically sporty rubber [Music] so what if pre-production misjudges specs from the saddle I have no complaints but from an armchair I do because sandors has a history that makes misjudgment smell like misdirection they started up in 2015 crowdfunding a 45 pound 50 mile range e-bike for 500 bucks sondor's pre-sold 11 000 raised 5.5 million dollars then started boiling frogs weight creeping up near 60 pounds range creeping down to 30 read more like 15. at the end of the day everyone got their e-bike it was still Beyond reproach for 500 and meanwhile sondor's hitched enough momentum to become a legit e-bike company cunning huh well I guess this motorcycle is up to the usual trick today's consumers buy spec sheets 300 horsepower or 300 miles deposit today delivery Q5 2023. of course it's the is a useful fertilizer and it grows Something Beautiful [Music] how are you if you're wondering about these shots they're taking on an insta 360 X3 the sponsor of our video fortnite uses 360 cameras because they look everywhere and we can play with angles in post the X3 also opens possibilities for more intimate shots and it can record on Loop becoming the perfect dash cam and that it captures everything this honestly simplifies our film kit so use the link below and just have more fun filming your eyes now I admit that sondor's leaves us to remove the Dotty tail light and mirrors but look at Honda Harley Concepts they're guilty of the same I also tricked the rear brake switch so it doesn't cut the motor see without the gyroscopic stability of a flywheel electric bike's tent feel Tippy at low speed so the ability to ride the brake and the throttle at once is handily stabilizing a beautiful platform with fixable faults rubbish I sit on motorcycles every day and owner vendings remain in my butt cheeks and this subframe still hurts because it wedges up my ass and how are you gonna fix that the seat is a rapist the key fob is from Barbie's car the battery cover slaps like a printer and the motion alarm is set to snooze volume stop nitpicking a nickel bike and the security system actually fights movement which is better Theft Protection than our BMW and the see-through charging console is a feature ahead of Premium Brands what about the void bag that's Innovation too let's be real here The sondor's Meta cycle is manufactured by jejung Gili Ming of Chinese moped industry to receive a Chic Highway e motorcycle it's improbably nice yeah but that doesn't excuse manipulative marketing and if the meta cycle was a dude you wouldn't trust a little to date your sister ah it's a machine a machine doesn't have intentions it is what it is it isn't what sondor's promised it is damn good for five grand part of me will never forgive it part of me does and it's the part that gets to ride home thank you very much for watching and thanks again to insta360 for sponsoring this video if you want to know more about the X3 click the link in the description are you
