Lads, it’s time to cast aside any preconceptions about electric mopeds because we’ve got something guaranteed to grab your attention. Introducing the Metacycle, a game-changing electric moped from SONDORS, the Californian e-bike behemoth.

Now, let’s cut to the chase and talk about what makes the Metacycle a force to be reckoned with. Underneath that sleek, futuristic “exo-frame” lies an 8,000-watt electric motor (with a staggering 14,500 watts at peak power), capable of propelling you to a top speed of 130 km/h. You’ll leave the naysayers in the dust, all while making zero emissions.
Worried about the range? Think you might get stuck without a charging station nearby? Fear not. The Metacycle packs a removable 4,000 Wh lithium battery with a driving range of up to 130 km (netting you an hour of riding at top speeds). Charging is a breeze, with options to plug into a regular wall outlet or utilise public fast-charge stations. And the best part is, four hours is all you need to juice up and hit the road again. Plug it in overnight or during the work day, and enjoy the peace of mind, knowing you could go there and back again.
With its low and light profile, the Metacycle is suitable for all kinds of riders. From beginners to professional motocross daredevils, virtually anyone can enjoy this absolute head-turner of a moped. Its unique design, which looks nothing like your grandma’s moped, combines an exclusive cast exo-frame with an inverted front fork and top-notch Bybre (Brembo) disc brakes for optimal stopping power.

Fancy some tech with your ride? The Metacycle has you covered. It features a waterproof smartphone holder with USB charge ports and a wireless charger. You’ll never have to worry about your phone dying on your mid-ride again, an excellent feature for the many delivery riders on our streets. And let’s not forget about style. The Metacycle comes in three captivating colour options: Supermassive (black), Arctic (white), and Naked Silver (silver). Whatever your preference, you’ll be turning heads as you glide through the streets.
“It’s an excellent example of the freedom that electric motorcycle designers have to play with traditional motorcycle design without the shackles of designing around old-fashioned engines and fuel tanks”, says CEO Storm Sondors. “We didn’t design this bike for enthusiasts, or racers, or people who want a third or fourth toy in the garage. It’s a fun, easy solution for real people who want to enjoy getting on the road every day.”
