2022 Sondors Metacycle

Well, I’m making my first foray into electric motorcycles with the purchase of the Sondors Metacycle. Due to the supply chain disruptions, and a brand new product creation/release the dates of release have been pushed into 2022 from late 2021.

First thing I’ll do is replace the mirrors.

I was featured in their ads since I was an early investor.

Ad that used my quote for the product campaign.

I’ll keep my Africa Twin for my long distance rides, but for in town / near town the Metacycle should reduce my need to use any internal combustion vehicles.

After quite some time the motorcycle arrived (Feb 2023) and it’s been a fun little bike for use in and around town. It is silent and I love being able to hear so much while I ride in comparison to my Africa Twin.

Sondors has since filed for bankruptcy due to some bad/shady decisions by its founder, but I’ll continue to ride this machine until there is a problem I can’t fix. There haven’t been any issues yet as of August, 2024.

I’ve added a custom seat and new mirrors, but that’s about it.

    I’ve been wanting to go away from internal combustion vehicles as much as possible and with my Sondors Metacycle arriving in June(ish) I’m heading in the right direction.
