The driver was surprisingly knowledgeable. Cool to see people getting these, but I'm wondering if some people will just flip them at this point. I'd love to see what one would fetch on Bring A Trailer. ;-)
Congrats and thanks for sharing!! I am first batch waiting as well but I am noticing on the sodors produced delivery and yours now it shows a new feature on front and rear wheels never before shared on a photo I ever seen. Those tabs on wheels flared out like that for spokes... I rather the orginal prototype wheels but I assume must make the wheel more serviceable for spoke "tuning" especially for rear being a hub motor. Looking forward to ride reviews more importantly, enjoy!!
thanks! the tires are tubeless, i guess that's why the tabs are like that. so far it's a fun ride, i'm just getting used to it. i'll definitely upload more videos in the following days. hope you get yours soon!
@@smithlongworth7389 THANK YOU for that information! I have been trying for months to find out if they were Tubeless Spoked Rims or not! That will make roadside flat repair a lot easier! 😎👍 EDIT. For anyone new to motorcycling, get yourself a "Stop and Go" motorcycle flat repair kit and keep it with your motorcycle. It makes for an extremely easy roadside repair. You can refill the tire using threaded CO2 canisters after using the tool kit to install a mushroom plug that makes a perfect airtight seal that won't leak. You literally could get a flat and be back rolling again in less than 15 minutes. Worth every penny for the kit!
Getting my motorcycle license soon. Been hot on Zero motorcycles for years but wanted more of a city bike. I found Land Motos in Cleveland (I'm in Columbus) and Sondors. Very interested in both. Wanted to make sure they did right by the early adopters before I made any hard decisions. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts as I'm leaning towards Sondors pending good impressions from actual customers.
The delivery driver mentioned that the other bike was to be delivered close by. Have you been able to contact the owner? It would be interesting to compare notes together after a week or so and post the recording. Congratulations.
she's a beaut. but this black rear fender/license plate holder has to go...the clean swingarm + rear wheel would look so much better. I have so many questions... hopefully they'll be answered in a few weeks with reviews popping. I'm actually glad I have a late reservation just before they closed it and bumped the price, so I can make an informed decision about whether I want to purchase it. weight/range/comfort/performance and handling with that heavy rear hub wheel...
oops just checked my email and my "early pricing" is expired by one day...I'll probably wait for reviews and maybe next revision. if you're planning to get the 5000 price check your emails!
Disappointing that they started painting the bike. The original was just unpainted, polished aluminum frame which looked fantastic. Now they have a cheap painted look. They need to offer another option with no paint on the frame.
Question, how long did it take from the time you paid your final deliver price? Do they call you or just send you an email to set up delivery from then?
bought it may last year. they emailed me close to deliver date. and came and delivered unannounced. good thing i was home because they didn't tell me the date and time delivery was. i don't know how other customers experiences was.
@@smithlongworth7389 Thanks, same here, been waiting about a year an a half now, just got the email for paying the white glove delivery so I will be moved to the delivery stage according to their email.
@@smithlongworth7389 well, that definitely changes everything for me. I was planning to buy one, but the only way I’d be able to charge it is if I could bring the battery in my apartment. Maybe version 2.0 will have a removable battery.
So the amazing weight of 200 lb was a total lie. 200 lb $5,000 and 80 mph. By the time the public gets into buying them in any quantity they'll be $10,000. And the weight was always actually 300lbs. That's really deceitful. So now from that standpoint we'll have to go back and carefully reevaluate the specs of the lightest zero motorcycles. Who have years of production experience. I can't believe they lied all that time and said it was 200 lb. That's not a typo. It was reported that it was 200 lb on all kinds of videos and literature and then oops it's 300 lb we meant.
honestly, its a good bike for the price. the thing that sucks is the $700 "white glove" delivery. its just some dude dropping off the bike and the box for the charger, and the MCO, which was actually wrong so i had to wait a week for the corrected one. then you have to take it to DMV and get it registered, pay another $800, and THEN take it to CHP to get it inspected, THEN take it back to DMV to complete the registration process. it's not a smooth process at all.
@@smithlongworth7389 Sounds to mr like it'd be worth picking it up from Sondors in person...Oh, and they have gone from $6K to $6.5K in the last week....

Congrats.. 👍 hope to see more videos out abt the bike performance..!
Congrats!
That thing looks amazing. The thin, shallow seat is a deal breaker though.

This is amazing!! Let me know how battery removal works whenever you figure it out.
Love that color

Very cool!
Its , so classicalfuturistic ....
I need ONE. HOLY TOLEDO🚀
Wow they are actually delivering them!
they didn't even tell me ahead of time! i thought that was strange. good thing i was home.
@@smithlongworth7389 gives us some time behind the handle bars 😁 I live in Long Beach and think this bike will be ideal for LA.
@@M.Mae.M definitely! i've already recorded some footage. just gotta edit and post. most likely by tomorrow evening.
More videos about it please .thank you
MOAR! Im in the second batch so not getting mine till 2025
Is that the actual date they gave you?
Congrats! Quick question, do you have to register this as a motorcycle?
thanks! and yes.
Nice video. Congrats.
thank you!
how I wish sondors would sell the metacycle here in the philippines
Congratulations. Do you still have the r9t?
thank you! and yes i do!
You cut the video when I was getting more exited lol
hahaha i was too excited to keep recording
it looks like a bike made from Robocop parts! lol.. its dope af tho
The delivery driver mentioned that the other bike was to be delivered close by. Have you been able to contact the owner? It would be interesting to compare notes together after a week or so and post the recording. Congratulations.
i didn't ask where the other owner is. i figure i'll run into them soon. and thank you!

Have you been able to test the top speed yet? 0-60?
no 0-60 yet but i have reached 65mph with ease.
Disappointing that they started painting the bike. The original was just unpainted, polished aluminum frame which looked fantastic. Now they have a cheap painted look. They need to offer another option with no paint on the frame.
They have other colors available
@@slimdunkin117 Need an option with no paint. Maybe clear coat.
Question, how long did it take from the time you paid your final deliver price? Do they call you or just send you an email to set up delivery from then?
bought it may last year. they emailed me close to deliver date. and came and delivered unannounced. good thing i was home because they didn't tell me the date and time delivery was. i don't know how other customers experiences was.
@@smithlongworth7389 Thanks, same here, been waiting about a year an a half now, just got the email for paying the white glove delivery so I will be moved to the delivery stage according to their email.
Unfortunately, the video is cut off halfway through the delivery process?!
i'll put out more videos in the next few days!
Like all the other fake videos none of them actually driving
Why is the battery casing color different? I thought it would be shiny metallic all through?
i thought it would be too. but they've done so many changes since the prototype that i'm not surprised anymore with all the changes they've made.
@@smithlongworth7389 thanks, waiting for more videos about the bike
They have metallic color available (so the whole bike is the color of the battery)
Those aren’t white gloves…🤔
No videos on the freeway yet from no one, that’s weird, specially from a guy that’s ride a regular motorcycle
Real world 0-60?
5,000$?
Or did it go higher?
$5000 at first then the current price is $6000
역시 대기업
고급스러움 ㅎ
How much? I like them!!!,
i think $6k now
So, is the battery removable?
no
@@smithlongworth7389 well, that definitely changes everything for me. I was planning to buy one, but the only way I’d be able to charge it is if I could bring the battery in my apartment. Maybe version 2.0 will have a removable battery.
Real don’t like Storm’s signature on the frame.
How is it?
good. getting the hang of it.
No temp plate?
not yet. going to triple A tomorrow.
How much was delivery?
$700

LiveWire DelMar is the way to go if we are in the $10k realm.
Wow, so, you got yours for $5000? They're up to $6K now...
honestly, its a good bike for the price. the thing that sucks is the $700 "white glove" delivery. its just some dude dropping off the bike and the box for the charger, and the MCO, which was actually wrong so i had to wait a week for the corrected one. then you have to take it to DMV and get it registered, pay another $800, and THEN take it to CHP to get it inspected, THEN take it back to DMV to complete the registration process. it's not a smooth process at all.
