The 2021 Sondors E-Bike Lineup + Our Take On Each Model

Sondors was founded in 2015 with one of the most successful crowdfunds in history. They kept the momentum going by launching two more products within that same year. With such a successful start, Sondors was able to change the way people view eBikes.

All Sondors are hand-built and made to order with aluminum frames and are equipped with a Shimano gear shifter. Sondors is currently one of the largest electric bike distributors in the US. They maintain a vision of a zero-emission planet while providing a quality product.
