Electric Sondor

[Elio Amazed]

So we are only going to be able to buy the thousands of Chinese built SOLO from Electra mechanica? Could be worse. We could be buying ELIOs. Incidentally, I really like my generation1 SOLO that I drive 400 miles a week. My generation2 SOLO should arrive by January 2020

This one? I'm the guy that has/runs the Solo forum website. Even though I'm only a mere long-time mortal member here, welcome to E.O. D8n. Nice ride.

Here's the site for Ampere Motors. Hasn't changed much at all in over a year. It looks really cool, but it's not closed in...

Anyone have any info/advice on getting my refundable back on the Sondors? I see the web site is entirely changed now, not much info on it. And my email reservation confirmation has no contact info on it either, other than info@sondorselctriccar.com?

They make a really nice bike. I test road a friends once and really nice. I wonder what happened they couldn't get the car going?

Ok, sent in request, should be interesting, I no longer have the accounts this was paid from, so I expect mass confusion.

I cannot say from a finance perspective, but I think they underestimated how much harder it is to build a road vehicle. I built a more powerful (yet still rock solid reliable) electric bike than theirs in my garage for the same price (if you include their initial $300 shipping). No way I can properly engineer and build a car. Their bike was built using existing off-the-shelf parts so the only thing they needed to do was arrange to get the parts cheap and assembled.

I do have a small amount of Sondors stock so I do hope the Model Sondors gets made, but from the very familiar silence over the past few months an 0 progress made on the prototype in the last year... le sigh...

Well, been a few weeks but I did get a refund from Sondors, so that went very well. While I closely follow any developments in the 3 wheel markets, NO ONE is getting a dime up front for anything any more.

BTW, Sondors just sent out a new request for another round of crowdfunding, this time to built the pre-production prototype. Looks like they axed the lower range models and are only planning to offer a 300 mile model for $19,500.

So the price has gone from $10,000 base to $19,500+.
