Accessible Urban Commuter Motorcycles

The Sondors Metacycle Offers a Range of 80 Miles

— January 15, 2021 — Autos
The Sondors Metacycle is a new take on the classic motorcycle that will provide riders with a relatively low-cost option that is stylish, emissions-free and fun to ride. The bike is priced at $5,000 and is targeted towards urban commuters thanks to its lightweight construction that weighs in at 200 pounds and a range of 80 miles per charge. The unit also features a swappable 4,000 watt battery to help extend riding range, while the bike will offer a top speed of 80mph.

The Sondors Metacycle also features a dedicated section for a smartphone to be stored when riding, which is outfitted with Qi technology to charge it as you go. The bike is rounded out with 17-inch Michelin tires, a set of Brembo ByBre hydraulic brakes and a clever series of turn signals.

2. Electric Vehicle Battery Manufacturing - As electric vehicles continue to grow in popularity, battery manufacturers could find opportunities in developing more efficient and swappable batteries as a way to extend driving range and improve convenience for consumers.
3. Smartphone Accessories - Companies that produce smartphone accessories can capitalize on the trend of smartphone integration in transportation by creating products that enhance rider safety and convenience, such as phone mounts and docking stations that incorporate charging technology.
