I published an article several days ago about whether there should be more federal regulation or private insurance in the crowd-funding world found here. That same day the Sondors Ebike campaign announced that they would be offering perk insurance for people’s ebike perks. This is quite possibly the most questionable services I have ever seen offered…
Ever since the beginning of the Storm\Ivars Sondors Electric Bike Campaign there has been a not-so-subtle change on my favorite forum endless-sphere.com, and the change has not been for the better. What used to be a civil discussion platform for people wanting support or to connect with other ebike builders has degenerated into what appears…
I’ve been riding an average of 90 minutes a day almost every day this season in the snow. Most of the time it is in powder that is 4-6″ deep. The snow at my wife’s house is over 2.5 feet deep now and impossible to ride on. I can still ride on snowmobile tracks and…
Several months ago I started looking seriously at creating ‘the ultimate fatbike’. I knew it had to be 2 Wheel Drive and I knew it had to be full suspension, but I had no idea where to start. Once I saw the Quigley Full suspension fatbike from Bikes Direct I fell in love. Before Doug’s…
We’ve been promising this Dolomite/BBS02 build for a while and we’re happy to say it works beautifully. This is one of the least expensive BBS02 builds you can do yourself and without a battery it should set you back ~$700 and weighs in without a battery at 59 lbs. The Mongoose Dolomite was originally incorrectly…

Indiegogo will ask for the tax identification number (TIN) of Campaign Owners and any beneficiaries so that we may report…
I went for a ride on my newest build and was incredibly happy with the results. This is my third BBS02 fatbike conversion and I have to say it is probably the best yet. Although the donor bike is a single-speed Deadeye Monster, I found that with the proper gears in the front and the…
There were three very interesting things that came out of the interviews with Storm/Ivars at the Demo Days Event last Sunday 1) He has said that he might have one container of 300 bikes shipped to Southern California for people to pick up their ebikes. This video at 22:57. 2) He said the Sondors electric bike would…
Federal regulations are put in place to protect the consumer from advertisers who falsely advertise their products and make misleading claims. They can also protect consumers from flat-out fraud where they purchase something, but never receive the product they ordered or receive something very different from they thought they were going to get. Before you…
The Demo Days event on Sunday was a big success. Over 100 people showed up to try out the Sondors Electric bike which has now broken the $3.4 million dollar mark. Although the website says the pricing will increase $100 to $699 three days ago under the perk description, elsewhere on the site it says the…
