E-Bike Overview
The Rockstar’s Bafang Ultra mid-drive motor is one of the most formidable electric bicycle motors available outside of custom DIY motors and features 750 watts of hill-crushing power.
The motor also has pedal assist sensors (PAS), which let you select the level of assistance you want when pedaling. Additionally, a thumb throttle is available for those moments when you don’t feel like pedaling at all, allowing the e-bike to do all of the hard work for you.
Another notable feature of the SONDORS Rockstar is the 48V lithium-ion battery with genuine LG 3500 cells. It’s the largest battery to ever grace one of the brand’s products and provides between 40-60 miles on a single charge, helping you ride further than many other e-bikes allow.
Reasons to Buy
The SONDORS Rockstar is the brand’s first-ever dual-suspension electric mountain bike, so you know it’s going to be special. Not only does it feature SONDOR’s biggest battery to date — complete with 21 amp hours of ride-extending energy — but the model is only available in limited production runs, meaning buyers need to pre-order the product in advance if they wish to get their hands on one.
This rejection of the typical mass-produced e-bike makes the SONDORS rockstar a highly sought-after model among e-bike enthusiasts, thus increasing its value for money.
The Rockstar also comes with a number of beneficial features that help it stand out from the pack. These include a USB port on the display — great for charging your phone, listening to music, or using your GPS — as well as a superior ergonomic gel seat and premium disc brakes.
Things to Consider
With a premium product comes a higher price tag. This could be a deterrent for some buyers, especially if they’re new to the e-bike game.
While the Rockstar contains some superior features, it’s lacking in some extra additions that its competitors contain. This includes things such as a kickstand, rear or front racks, LED headlights, and tail lights. If you want these, you’ll have to buy them as aftermarket accessories.
