Owner report 11514992 · 2023-04-02 (April 2, 2023)
The Sondors Metacycle is a motorcycle with non standard controls. Specifically it has two hand brakes like a step through scooter, instead of a foot brake. I do not own one but on a recent test ride I crashed the bike when I went to pull the clutch at a stop, and accidentally locked the rear wheel. This is dangerous and will lead to more accidents as the bike is targeting new riders who will learn bad habits. The bike should have a foot brake per FMVSS.

Throttle is non-responsive. The vehicle died in the middle of the street, surrounded by active lanes of traffic. I was left in a dangerous situation, and had to dismount the…
