After countless insults, hate-mail, getting run off the Storm Usergroup Facebook page and working really hard at NOT getting post-banned I’ve finally decided to stop writing about the Sondors Ebike controversy. Congratulations, you win! I got a refund, I no longer care what happens from this point forward. Unless I get legal notification in the…
Better traction and lighter than running chains, the Surly Lou costs a bit more than slipnot chains at around $130 street price and ~1528g. The treads are monstrous at 7mm deep and this tire is the best one I’ve tried yet in deep powder. A couple of weeks ago I did a review on the Surly…
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…
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…
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…
On our solar-powered off grid system we have 4 massive 60lb 6v 232 Ah Lead Acid golf cart batteries hooked up in series to make a 24v system. Every couple of weeks on a sunny day we have to equalize the pack. It’s a simple enough process, we check the water levels in the batteries…

I literally stay awake at night trying to figure out why so many people have been putting out the most intensely negative energy they can towards the Storm Ebike Campaign on Indiegogo that is currently at $3.1 million and climbing. The thread on Endless-Sphere is 19 pages long now with 7000 views and I can’t…
My partner and I decided to keep our separate houses when we committed to each other last year. Her house is a beautiful timber-framed straw bale design that is located over a mile from the road on a 800 vertical foot driveway. It’s located on a 500-acre land trust and I’ve managed to create some pretty…
