Consumer Description
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.
