Hay I live in Iraq and I Recently I bought White Sondors Madmod I read multiple people say it doesn't worth the price for its specs but since I live in Iraq somehow it's cheaper I bought it for 1,275,000 IQD Which is equivalent to nearly $983 USD i wonder if I got good deal for it?

Anyone know how to get a new key for the battery by chance ?!

Fellow white Madmods owner here! Mine has been through a lot including a theft recovery.
I've replaced the motor controller and wiring (wiring MELTED), upgraded the brake calipers to Magura MT5e, replaced the seat to a much more cushioned one, and my favorite upgrade was changing the rear shocks to air shocks.
It's a fun bike. Not the fastest but it can actually be pedaled if the battery dies since it's got 7 gears, I've had to pedal with a passenger and a bike trailer attached.

I did similar modifications. I added bigger rotors with the MT5e. Installed a better hydraulic shock up front to get rid of the clunk. I have a couple and love them.

Front shock replacement??? Tell me more (or post in r/Madmods). I looked everywhere for shocks that were the same size and couldn't find anything. Did you gut the fork and put new shocks in the forks or replace the whole fork?

Alibaba...there is 1 fork that works perfectly with the madmod but you need 2 small shims for the bottom triangle to tighten properly. There is a Facebook group with a couple of write ups. I have done the conversation 3 times.

The shims are important. There is a russian who makes them or you can try to make them yourself.The head tube length is important. They sent me one that was too short. You will also need a new neck and a😋
You will need a new stem/handlebar attachment and a couple head tube spacers.

Thanks! Do you know if I can use my stock triple tree clamp to retain the original handlebar setup? I prefer the triple tree clamps like a motorcycle over a bike style stem.

Looks great!

Man do I love the look of these things. I REALLY wanted to buy one until they actually came out and the announced weight ballooned and the performance wasn't enough to make up for its weight gain. Still love the looks of it, and I'd buy one in a heartbeat if I could get it for under $1k. What a bargain !!

Rally cool bike!

The best value for its is what you get for the dollar. Up to your necessary needs.. I mean I've seen them go for similar price on AliExpress. Maybe they're complaining about the power outputs versus the range? Most people just try to buy bikes to turn them into motorcycles to bypass local laws. Then get mad when they get taken and shredded.
The main question is. Will it bring you the most smiles. Will that frame and that set up. Make you happy and is that what you want.
You can always upgrade power and range.
(Personally I don't like the fat tire bikes due to physical role resistance and tire issues. But that's my personal preference)

I would probably take off the labels. And put maybe like a pin stripe vinyl of purple or something around on it. Or at least redo the color match on the battery

It's a nice bike. You could always buy a conversion kit if you want to make it faster or it breaks.
bedahtpro@reddit
Yes, Pretty cheap aswell about 350$ with shipping battery included 2000W 30ah . So if it breaks you have a great frame

Sondors is defunct so prices will be rock bottom but service is non existent.
It’s a shame bc the bikes are beautiful. Enjoy it, and maybe learn how to maintain the bike yourself
Flaky_Thing_4436@reddit (OP)
I knew about that but when you live in Iraq you don't get any service from the company anyway that's is why I didn't care
