The company is now pre-selling a new electric motorbike named the Meta AT.

# Back from the dead? Bankrupted e-bike company SONDORS now pre-selling bikes again

The SONDORS electric bicycle company infamously went bankrupt in 2023, yet it now appears to be attempting a rise from the ashes. The company’s founder and former CEO Storm SONDORS is back at the helm and pre-selling a new electric motorbike with a somewhat familiar name – the Meta AT.

But will riders be once bitten, twice shy?

SONDORS originally burst onto the scene way back in 2015 – the early days of the US e-bike scene – by offering a $500 fat tire electric bike via a crowdfunding campaign. Many called it a scam after the company was late to deliver, and the bikes that did eventually arrive didn’t quite live up to some of the loftiest claims, but the company did ultimately deliver. In the nearly decade afterward, SONDORS continued following that same game plan: promising the moon for an unbelievably low price, then delivering something that was almost what they’d claimed and almost on time. But they always delivered.

At least, until they didn’t.
