11 Reasons to Buy the SONDORS Rockstar eBike

  • SONDORS Rockstar combines the style of a comfortable cruiser with the feel of a powerful mountain bike.
  • The SONDORS Rockstar is tough as nails. It can take a four-and-a-half-foot drop and still go strong.
  • The knobby Maxxis tires are designed to roll over obstacles like rocks, roots, and bumps without losing traction.
  • The Rockstar features a premium ergonomic gel seat designed for all-day riding comfort.
  • The 11-speed drivetrain is powered by a powerful Bafang Ultra mid-drive motor that provides great hill-climbing power.
  • The Rockstar is equipped with an Intelligent Torque Limiting Gear Sensor (ITGS) to prevent over-revving and maintain your desired speed.
  • The thumb throttle lets you accelerate at a moment's notice – even when you're in the middle of an uphill climb.
  • The Rockstar's rear suspension offers great comfort and control, making it easy to handle on rough terrain.
  • It includes a 3A smart charger for fast, efficient charging.
  • The compact display is easy to see even in direct sunlight.

5 Reasons Not to Buy the SONDORS Rockstar eBike

  • The e-bike produces an audible rattling sound when ridden off-road.
  • The Tektro hydraulic disc brakes aren't powerful and durable for long-term use. The Rockstar needs four-piston calipers for better stopping power and longevity.
  • The front shocks can be a little stiff if you're not used to them.
  • This e-bike needs some upgrades and customization for a flawless riding experience. 
  • It’s not foldable.

Bottom Line

The SONDORS Rockstar isn’t going to replace your high-end, custom electric mountain bike. And honestly, it doesn’t even try to. It’s a limited mountain bike, and great for what it is. It does what you’d expect, but be realistic about your expectations before buying and be prepared for the possibility of needing to upgrade and customize.

The SONDORS Rockstar was by far the most fun e-bike of the bunch, though, featuring the best suspension and giving an overall higher-quality feel.

I've had this bike for four months. I've put it through hell; I have … got 538 miles on it. … I just want to tell you this bike has never let me down. I've never been stranded. I've never had the battery run out. … I've never been in a position where I'm dragging the bike.

I've got to be honest. At first, I wasn't too fond of the yellow or the supernova. But you know what? It's got the best paint job on it. And I am really loving it.
