Summary of the Sonic Stomper SS

First off, let’s talk tires. The Sonic Stomper SS sports aggressive 26 x 4-inch fat tires that promise a smooth and stable ride, no matter the terrain. These tires are paired with a mid-drive Bafang motor, specifically the third generation BB SH D03, which Jim himself has seen in action at the Bafang factory. This motor is a beast, delivering 1000 watts of nominal power with peaks up to 1480 watts, propelling this bike to a speedy 28 mph. And if you’re in a place like California with stricter regulations, you can dial it down to 750 or even 500 watts.

Customization is key with the Sonic Stomper SS. Jim’s extensive travels to various factories ensure top-notch parts, from steel cranks to CNC machined components. You can tailor your bike to fit your needs, whether it’s adjusting for motor power or removing the throttle for a more BMX-style experience. The Sonic Stomper SS can be modified to meet your specific requirements, even down to the inclusion of motor inhibitors on the brakes for those more aggressive riders.

The frame of the Sonic Stomper SS is a lightweight but sturdy marvel, featuring 26 x 3.5-inch Vee Speedster tires mounted on four-inch rims. These tires come with puncture protection, perfect for desert trails littered with goat heads. Despite its robust build, the bike weighs in at a manageable 72 pounds, thanks to strategic weight reductions like punched-out rims.

One standout feature is the mid-drive motor setup, uncommon for cruisers which typically use rear hub motors. This choice enhances performance and power efficiency, making it a thrill to ride. The motor is paired with a Sturmey Archer SXRK3 internally geared hub, offering three speeds controlled via a twist shifter on the handlebar.

The Sonic Stomper SS isn’t just about performance; it’s also about style. The BMX-inspired handlebars with billet clamps, the massive two-inch forks, and the reflective quilted leather saddle all contribute to its unique look. Even the small touches, like the red-capped spokes and custom chain tensioner, add to its distinctive personality.

Safety and comfort are also top priorities. The bike includes a welded kickstand for stability and USB-rechargeable lights for night riding. The TRP Zurich quad piston caliper brakes, soon to be upgraded to 225mm rotors, ensure you can stop safely even at high speeds. Plus, the integration of cooling fins on the motor and brakes helps prevent overheating, enhancing longevity and performance.

Priced at $4,895, the Sonic Stomper SS includes a lifetime warranty on the frame and fork, a two-year warranty on the motor, and a one-year warranty on the battery. The bike is available in various striking colors and is shipped almost fully assembled, ensuring you can hit the road with minimal fuss.

In conclusion, the Sonic Stomper SS is a powerhouse of performance, customization, and style. Whether you’re cruising the streets or tackling rough trails, this bike delivers an unmatched riding experience. So, if you’re in Tempe or anywhere else, give the Sonic Stomper SS a spin – it might just be the ride of your life!
