I make videos riding my Sondors Rockstar. When I was trying to decide if I wanted a Rockstar, I found help here on RUclips. Now I am helping potential Rockstar owners decide if they want this bike. I have purchased a broken Rockstar and I rescuing the bike with new hub, motor and replace missing items. This segment is "Rockstar Rescue." I will compare my Rockstar to the Rescued bike with different components. Next phase: comparing other bike to the Rockstar, I have purchased a new bike and building it now. I ride in Orange County and surrounding areas, hit me up if you want to ride. I am offering test rides on my ebikes and tours of my local trails. No affiliation with Sondors Bike Company whatsoever. Sponsors: San Diego Electric Bike, La Jolla, CA, Solona Beach, CA.,

Presidents Day excursion to Newport Beach, CA. I hit 1,000 miles on the odometer in the middle of the ride, got sidetracked, went home. You know what that means: 1,000 show extravaganza next video. If you got any guts, you’ll be there.

Here’s a little ditty close to my house. This is Alicia and Wood Canyon Park I think it’s on Laguna Niguel or Laguna Hills, Google it. Anyways still having problems with my chain took two links out. Now it won’t go into the low gear. So this was my first time at this park. Both trails are very difficult. I took it slow today, I forgot my gloves and I have to be to work on Monday. I also got kic...

Sondors Rockstar Vs. H2O (broke my bike)
Well, at least you kept the Sondors frame. Do a summary of how much you've spent to make that Frankenbike.
Hi Matt; Just found your channel. love what you do. I'm glad you don't eat Cheeseburgs on You Tube. Riding is awesome for sure. I never liked YT videos with music but your choice of tunes on this one rocks the house, Love that band and the tunes just seem to flow with your rides. Can I make a suggestion? If you want more bump performance is there a way you could install 29 inch tires on the Sondors? I think it can be done. My friend owns a Sondors and he loves the bike. Rock on.....
Hey Jim Thanks for watching my channel. I had a lot of fun doing it. I still have the bike. There’s another guy on RUclips who made a Niner mullet, and I always wanted to try it. It’s so hot here in Southern California. I think all the trails are on fire as we speak. I think that music is my friend’s band and he turned into a born again Christian so he said I could have all the rights to his music . Well, I’m glad you found me. I’m gonna make a new video this fall cause I moved and I want to give everyone an update.
I'm late to the party but couldn't help but ask what kind of helmet is that?
The helmet is from Fox. I think it’s called an air. Somebody actually gave it to me so nice of them.
I love ur ebike ! Plz kindly make 1500-2000w middrive , with wide range to cover upto 300kms on single charge, light weight frame , mtb tire , with front /rear carriage, Abs 🙏 for world touring ebike ! 🙏plz mention price🙏🙏😊
I crashed really hard the first week I had one but I was ok and learned to respect the bike lol
Do you have the full video?
Yes : ruclips.net/video/w0ADe_V3s8k/видео.html
Why the oil and spring shock over the air? You do good size drops or something. Otherwise wouldn't the air be nicer?
Bike weighs 83 lbs. I’m 225 on a good day, so I run a 750 lb spring on that shock, pound for pound and dollars to dollars the spring was my preferred choice.
you have one of the gnarliest intros on youtube lol
Thanks Cody, I aim to please.
I love my MXS! More than 10k now- but…. When the clutch failed I ordered a new motor-they could not friggin get me the right motor!!! 3 times always the wrong one!!! Insinuating I was wrong- I gave up and because they forced me to understand how to work on the hub motor,I bought just the planetary gears (clutch) from area 13- BOOM FIXED-Lesson? Don’t count on Sondors parts department!!!!
Agreed, Sondors has lots of work to do.
Where can get in Europa?Latvian men,but not sell to Europa. :D
There is lots of them used on Facebook US
Hi matt where did you order the tektro brakes and the info on them
I got them at stealthebike.com they should have a promo code “Matt” for a discount
Hi matt glad you are back. Hope all is well. Crank those videos back up. Was missing them
Thanks Richard will do!
Thanks will check them out
Mat , your fun to watch ! Love the Burrito in place of extra inner tube 🤙🏾
Burrito 🌯
Love your style.
Tanks Luke
Are you running tubeless? What kind of tires brand? How much $4,500?
No, I use tubes filled with Slime. Front is High roller, the rear is some cheap one I bought at the velo swap, they are called Vitoria?... I’d take $4500 for the bike.
😎
😎
That Looks Fun! You seemed a little nervous, but respectfully! I have one of these bikes on order, supposedly September shipping??? There are lots of trails like this around here so I'm pretty pumped for this bike to show up. I'll ride it stock for the first few times to figure out what it needs to perform.
Thanks David, you’re gonna love the bike it’s good fun 🤩
Keep it up. I’m hooked.
Thanks brother. Hope you’re doing well. I got content on top of content.
Sorry about the loss of your bro . Glad I’m able to get info from you n Doug from Simple Pleasures ! You were a great find 🤙🏾
Thanks Robert. My brother would have loved eBikes. I put a new motor in my bike, I’ll release it soon.
Dude! Your funny, got me cracking up , great video 👍🏾🤙🏾
You get it. That’s what matters
Great listening to your review Matt! Thanks hopefully I get mine in sept like they said . Cheers
Thanks Robert you will love your bike !
I got a "whatever" too, lol Thanks for the video's, looking at stealth's web site now!! Loosing a brother, I haven't experienced that, I hope the pain fades quickly.
Thanks Brad. Thanks for watching and your nice message.
was watching a rockstart 2nd had in my area I think I'll pass for a lighter and better rear shckk bike. will watch more of your content, thanks for sharing your data points
Thanks Brad I will compare other bikes to the Rockstar and see what’s better.
So sorry about your loss.
Thanks bud
Sorry, to hear about your brother. Keep the black one for sentimental value. I will never sell my EVG '99 that has got rebuilt 3x's for similar reasons I will not sell it ever!
You’re right man. Thanks for the wise advice. The first eBike I built was from my brother. I won’t sell that and I’m not selling the black now. Thanks.
Are you going tubeless with the rescue bike
I don’t think I will I like tubes filled with Slime. I tried it on the black bike and air leaked through the welded seam on the rim.
Matt, my sincere condolences about the loss of your brother. I'm sorry man. I was wondering, don't they make an unlocked version of the canbus motor? I was thinking that make it a little easier if they did. Thanks for all the info along on this journey. Hang in there dude. That rear hub looks sweet!
Thanks Ed. I don’t think they make an unlocked CAN motor. But I can’t say for sure. Couple of weeks: Sondors Rockstar Vs Sondors Rockstar.
thanks this isso entertaining it took alot of nerve to keep recording and share the rawness of it all.
I was scared
I crashed hard - I am getting pumped with ice on shoulder and back. I clipped a tree when I didn't think i was close to it. Is that how your supposed to do that? 7:21 Boy that is some lube failure. Maybe if the previous owner would have serviced it, it might have been ok. But I am guessing the metallurgy of the gears is not top quality too. And the heat damage is apparent. Get a pulley damn it.
I hope you heal up quick! The trails you ride are narrow at times. I don’t know what I was doing, first time working on it, just wanted to see the failure.
@@MattHaley Thanks Matt, It was fun to watch. It makes me want to make sure my grease is always in good shape.
Lots of detail and information... great video, thanks for making it.
Thanks Ronald 👍🏼
Any idea how many hours or miles were on that motor Matt? That grease was toast. Man, I'd like to see what the original owner put that bike through to get a motor that looked like that. Matt, hope your doing better after your last Covid bout.
Hi Ed, the display was missing so I don’t know how many miles. Grease was toast I think the whole thing is toast, I’m going to keep it for parts. Original owner used it for food delivery and pulled a trailer with spare batteries. Thanks for the well wishes that Covid round took me out of commission for 5 weeks. I haven’t ridden since I left for Brazil! Hope you’re doing well and riding your bike. I’m going to fix my cranks, rear hub upgrade and start riding this weekend.
Future's so bright, ya gotta wear shades.
24-7!
That's crazy. shows you how much torque those things have. you said that bike was modified. would the modifications possibly caused this? i can see how a smaller front sprocket gear would help lesson stress on those gears. i know a lot of guys have done that.
It's crazy, I think the clutch failed. I have a few emails out to US based Bafang service companies to tell me if this can be fixed and confirm what may have caused it. The modifications were the smaller sproket, and he towed a trailer with the bike for food delivery. Other than that; a fixed seatpost, grips and different seat were the only other mods. I think Sondors did him dirty on the warranty, this is a Gen 2 bike probly less than a year old.
I wish you would have tried a geared hub. Then you can get a belt drive. I am curious about a geared hub solution.
Belt drive and mud is my concern, I want to see that done by somebody…got word on my new bike today…it’s gonna be awesome!
What modifications were done to it that they didn’t honor the warranty?
Previous owner didn’t say exactly why warranty was voided. Previous owner used the bike for food delivery. He was towing some sort of trailer and in the trailer he towed his extra batteries. (maybe the food too) The front fork was upgraded to RS Judy, he had the front sprocket and adapter changed and some different hand grips also had a solid seat post and dropper post was removed. So far his rear hub has failed and something’s up with the motor but I haven’t got there yet. I think Sondors did him dirty on not helping him out. This bike was part of his job and I don’t feel he got the justice he deserved. It’s also a second generation bike, meaning it’s not that old at all.
@@MattHaley they actually send rockstar judys to people with broken forks cause they’re out of stock on their forks. He should’ve put the original mods back on before making a warranty request
@@rsxhitman agreed, I did that with my car and got a warranty repair. What’s done is done. I still say Sondors did him dirty. This was a guy who could have used a break, the bike was part of his job.
U don’t need a special tool to get the crown race off..or put it back on…it’s a bike not a space shuttle lol
Fortunately I didn’t have to A: buy one B: take it off myself C: worry about any of it.
@@MattHaley it’s fun to know what u own tho and be able to modify it. You can modify as you please without restrictions. But everyone’s different
@@rsxhitman The other way to get the race off is a flathead screwdriver and a hammer. The guy had the proper tool. It’s like lighting a fire rubbing sticks together or lighting a match, both start fires. Your choice how you spend your time and energy.
@@MattHaley I use razor blades and a hammer. It’s so rarely done tho. U can get a tool off Amazon for 50$
Matt, so sorry to hear about the second bout. Seems like just yesterday you had it the first time. Great vid and loved the commentary! Get well soon bud!
Thanks Ed, the video I did 1000 mile review I also had Covid. I’m glad you enjoyed the video ! Thanks for the well wishes.
Preorder a rockstar with a September ship date last week. This week it's gone and links to Costco.. I emailed and was told to inquire with Costco.. Anyone have the scoop on this?
I don’t know Upload, but when you do get your bike I am sure you will love it.
Get well soon
Thank you Kelly, I’m feeling better today 😀
Great video Matt, but I have the best Rockstar on the planet!😊😅😂
Dammit! 😀😅Ya I need to fix that, I think no matter what specification I choose, it’s going to be debatable. Thanks for the compliment !
😂😂😂
Glad to make you laugh!
@@MattHaley you need to make more video like this informative,interesting and hilarious😁
Ok James, I’ll do it. I have at least 4 more episodes to build that bike.
It looks like your knocking on deaths door! 😂Good thing that all Covid infected people have to stay locked up🙄. That sucks dude. Good luck. Great video. Looking forward to #2. Great reaction skills with catching those motor bolts😂 that was a nice touch!
Thanks Luke, I will be home soon I hope. Thanks for the bolts comment😀
Hope you get better soon Matt!!looking forward to part 2 Great Video Dude!!
Thank you Roger, I hope to be back home soon and get back on track!
I love those types of trails. Good job. Your buddy is a nice tour guide.
Thanks Ted. I owe the last two episodes to Jim, his idea for two batteries and he showed me Joplin and Holy Jim trial. He really did look out for me out there too.
Would like to do those trails one day soon.
@@24hrdemolitionman if you ever want to come down here I’ll make it happen. I own 3 batteries so you could carry one of my spares in a backpack and have enough juice to make it up the mountain and back.
Matt, off camber single track, no thank you! Most of that video I would love to do but that off camber section and the jungle section I want no part of. Good job Matt. Your offroad skills improve with each video.
When we first started on the trail I was thinking “what did I get myself into” then I was thinking “how much more of this” jungle is the perfect description.
1:38 😆😅🤣
You’re really paying attention 😀
@@MattHaley many other great parts like the views and the waterfall... but this was low hanging fruit😆😁
Hey man I let it rip😬
The first half hour of this masterpiece was astounding!!! The Views and the conditions were Just sublime!! then you hit that single track man I felt for you Matt that was an endurance!! Props to you for bearing it and your perseverance was applaudable!! I myself would have stayed on that original track if I'd known what was ahead!! This was an outstanding Video!! I commend you and that fine steer the Sondors Rockstar!!
Thank you Roger 1.5 hour RUclips videos are not for everyone! The waterfall was my favorite experience thus far.
Nice clear video. You were rockin the trail. Good job.
Thanks brother that was my first time down !
One hell of a ride right there!
Thanks OPSEC, it was a huge ride! I hope you get back on your bike soon.
