These are some of the best bikes I have bought and ridden, and I’ve seen a lot over the years, racing and for enjoyment. I have 2 SONDORS now with 2 on the way, Rockstar and SONDORS LX, can’t wait for delivery.
Customer service has been top-notch. Obviously, the best I’ve seen in this industry. I have an MXS and had a great ride putting it through a very tough ride in Malibu this past weekend and had a great time. This bike climbs like a mountain goat due to powerful motor. Battery life is great and I even had 2 bars left after that ride.
Can’t wait for the Rockstar and SONDORS LX what that is capable of, especially the driving system. The quality, price, and customer service are fantastic since I know them. These bikes got a wife back on the bike and she loves it. Thank you SONDORS. Keep innovating!

It’s impossible to write a response when you folks have not delivered my bicycle. I find SONDORS LX to be very disorganized and deceptive when it comes to delivering their product on time.
Responses by SONDORS to buyer, Andy on 14 January 2021:
Thank you for your review Andy. We’re very sorry for any convenience that shipping delays may have caused you. This year has been especially challenging for us and our shipping partners with keeping order deliveries timely. If you haven’t already received your SONDORS LX – we’re sure you’re going to love it when you do. They’re always worth the wait! Thank you for your patience and for choosing SONDORS!
Our Summary:
- SONDORS Electric Bike is indeed needed to improve on communication with the complaining customers.
- In summary, there are 10 out of 40 certified buyers complain of poor service on the communication.
- The reply of SONDORS Electric Bike does not tell how they are going to speed up the delivery. Obviously they are short of parts to complete the assembly. They should be honest to the customer if they are facing this situation.
- I have read a few replies from SONDORS, the same statement is obviously repeated use in many replies. Buyers not feel they are replying with real reasons of delay, and in fact, there is not solution to improve the delay. In summary, not professional in comforting the buyers.

Hey there Stephen,
Great review on the Sondors LX electric bike. This is so cool, i would love to get one. I am ust not keen n waiting 90 to 120 days though. I like the fact that it has a peddle assist and a throttle function to increase speed or assist with and uphill climb.
I would definately consider buying one of these. Thank you
Regards
Lawrence
Hi, Lawrence, thanks for your comments. I believed this bike will bring you a lot of joy. Never an electric bike has been built massive power for you to enjoy everywhere. If you go racing with others, you will win since this bike can accelerate to top speed in very short minutes. But you are a beginner, please ride with Eco mode and caution.
You are always welcome to visit us, ask any questions related to electric bikes. Have a prospect year in
This was a well written review that is mostly accurate. I just took delivery of my new LX recently and have two rides on it and a quick 35 miles on the trip meter.
The most important thing people need to be aware of is, there is a 6-9 month lead time, not 90-120 days mentioned in your review for most Sondors bikes. Mad Mods are delivering now and many people have waited 1 1/2 years for it. My LX was ordered in June and arrived just before the New Year (6 month wait)
So, the big question is, “was it worth the wait?” ABSOLUTELY- I love it. I’m an old motocrosser and this thing is tough and seems well built. I purchased at 2.3k in June. In 6 months, there has been 4 price increases. Today, (1/22) the bike is 3K and plan on a shipping fee, that should probably be waved with the wait you’ll incur. Is worth 3K, I think it is. You’ll find the Bafang Ultra M620 on bikes upward of 6K plus, that comes stock on the LX. At 3K it’s still a relative “bargain” in the mid drive fat tire ebike world.
Hi! Jack, so nice for me to read your sharing about SONDORS LX.
I am happy to hear that you are satisfied with the powerful motor of the SONDORS LX. A weak motor can be a big frustration to the rider, especially for those who want to breeze through others during the hill climbing.
Let me make a comment from the seller. Does the seller plan to deliver the product for more than 6 months? I think it is not existing, then why it happens? Most products were trapped in the harbor or on board the vessels. The transportation costs become higher and all sellers have to bear this unexpected cost. The pre – sale is actually a big risk for any seller unless all is out as expected.
I fully understand the frustration of the buyer, money paid, but keep waiting for the product to be delivered. When this occurs, buyers should be entitled to request the full refund. And I believed most sellers would like to make the refund rather than sell with a loss. But buyers insist on waiting for delivery, the seller cannot make repayments to buyers to reduce the loss. Think of all the poor sellers.
My item data may not go beyond vendor information. I’m glad you can forgive the wait time, it helps to free up a lot of pressure for the seller. Thank you very much for your kind comments. I hope other buyers will read your comment to relieve their frustration with waiting for delivery.
