Known for its electric assist bicycles, Sondors is making its first foray into the motorized two-wheel market with a rather original model.
The Metacycle introduces a new genre at Sondors, an electric bike manufacturer based in California. Similar to a BMW CE 04 but in a slightly different style, this small motorcycle shows that electric vehicles open new possibilities in terms of design. Here, the benefits of the wheel motor have been fully exploited to visually lighten the central part of the vehicle.
The technical specifications of the Sondors Metacycle describe a small electric motorcycle primarily designed for urban use. The engine delivers 11 hp continuously and up to 20 hp at peak. The maximum speed reaches 130 km/h with the Sport mode engaged. The 4 kWh lithium-ion battery, placed at the center of the aluminum frame, would guarantee an autonomy of between 100 and 130 km under real-world conditions. It would recharge in about 4 hours on a standard domestic outlet.
An affordable electric motorcycle
The launch of the Metacycles has been delayed, but the motorcycle is about to make its grand debut in the United States. Early customers receive a discount of $2,500. The price drops from $6,500 to about $4,000 (roughly €3,750). Sondors plans to sell its motorcycle in Europe but has not yet announced a date for the first deliveries. Interested individuals can already reserve a unit by paying a deposit of around €100. Given its power, the Metacycles should be approved in the 125 cc equivalent category.
