“The SONDORS Metacycle Is The Inexpensive Electric Commuter Motorcycle I’ve Been Waiting For. With 20 horsepower and 200 lb-ft of torque on tap, this compact 200-lbs bike can zip up to 80 miles per hour and has a max range of 80 miles. Most impressive, however, is that you can get all of that from a $5,000 price tag."

“There are two features on this little electric motorcycle that really appeal to me. The first is that the 4 kWh battery can be pulled out of the bike for hot swapping, or simply to charge it indoors in an urban environment without on-street charging. You can either pull the battery out for charging where it’ll get back to full in 4 hours on 110v electric, or you can quickly charge it through public charging infrastructure. The second intriguing aspect is that the bike has a place for your cell phone to charge with QI wireless charging, as well as a clear door over that so you can pull up your favorite map app and still be able to see the phone while it’s charging. Genius!"

“With the average price of a new car cresting $40,000 and many new electric motorcycles -- like the Harley-Davidson Livewire or the Zero SR/S -- coming in just as expensive, the SONDORS Metacycle could find itself in an economical price-to-performance sweet spot, especially since the average American's commute is only about 16 miles per day."

“It’s an excellent example of the freedom that electric motorcycle designers have to play with traditional motorcycle design without the shackles of designing around old-fashioned engines and fuel tanks. ‘We didn’t design this bike for enthusiasts, or racers, or people who want a third or fourth toy in the garage. It’s a fun, easy solution for real people who want to enjoy getting on the road every day.’ Storm Sondors, founder of the company, said of the electric motorcycle."
