Our Company

Our Business

We are a California-based, design-focused electric mobility company manufacturing and delivering premium electric bicycles and an electric motorcycle. We design our products with both our consumers and manufacturing processes in mind in order to offer high quality products at competitive price points.

We have played a critical role in creating the e-bike category by developing, manufacturing and selling one of the first e-bikes at scale both domestically and internationally and have delivered over 51,000 units in 72 countries since 2015. SONDORS e-bikes are well known for providing riders with a premier e-biking experience by combining visually appealing design with industry-leading performance. From our inception, we have been committed to making e-bikes more accessible to riders through our compelling retail pricing, as demonstrated by our Smart Step entry level e-bike, which is currently offered through Costco Wholesale Corporation and features a folding frame design and our proprietary battery technology. Additional e-bike models are sold direct-to-consumer, enabling the end customer to customize its e-bike across our portfolio of products, ranging from our full-suspension, mid-drive mountain bikes, to our Mad Mods offerings, which feature wide tires and customizable style kits.

The Metacycle, our e-motorcycle offering, represents our newest product category. The Metacycle has the styling of a motorcycle, the ease of learning and use of an e-bike and the price point of a motorized scooter. The Metacycle features a design that is unique in the e-motorcycle market and which we believe will set the standard for a new intermediary category between e-bike and e-motorcycle design going forward, with an uncomplicated, elegant style and a superior riding experience. The lightweight, weld-free aluminum frame of the Metacycle delivers a rider experience that is a step up from riding an e-bike without the intimidation and training required of a higher-powered traditional motorcycle. Its narrow stance and low center of gravity offers easy handling without the complication of the manual transmission that is typically installed on traditional gas combustion motorcycles. We believe the Metacycle’s ease of operation, combined with its advanced styling features and all electric nature, will expand the potential addressable market for riders who have never considered motorcycle ownership previously. The Metacycle’s price point is significantly more affordable than other leading e-motorcycle models such as Harley-Davidson’s LiveWire ONE and Energica’s Eva Ribelle, without sacrificing premium quality and functional style. We currently have pre-orders for approximately 11,000 units of the Metacycle, which we began delivering in August 2022.

We intend to leverage our premier position within the e-mobility vertical to bring future products to market, and are designing electric all-terrain-vehicles (ATVs), dirt bikes and other e-mobility products. These planned product offerings are in the design and prototyping phase at our California-based engineering facility and are being designed with a focus on our core tenets of industry leading style, exceptional performance and affordability. We believe this practical design approach, which utilizes universal product parts across varying models, is critical to expanding the addressable market for our products as we promote consistent experiences across our entire suite of product offerings while offering consumers attractively priced, premium EVs.

Our Markets

We operate within the e-bike and e-motorcycle markets in the U.S. and internationally.

Over the past several years, global sales of e-bikes have increased significantly and it is expected that sales will continue to increase, According to a study by Fortune Business Insights, the global e-bike market is projected to grow at a compounded annual growth rate, or CAGR, of 12.6% from $35.7 billion in 2021 to $92.2 billion by 2029.

In addition, according to Modor Intelligence, the North American e-bike market was valued at $800 million in 2021 and is expected to grow at a 12.5% CAGR to reach $1.62 billion by 2027.

The global market for e-motorcycles is also demonstrating strong market demand. According to Research and Markets, global sales of e-motorcycles totaled $1.9 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a 19.4% CAGR to reach $6.2 billion by 2026.

Our Competitive Strengths

Our competitive strengths include:

	●	Demonstrated Capabilities in the Development and Commercialization of E-Bikes. A key competitive advantage that we’ve developed as a result of designing, developing and selling innovative e-bikes in the United States and foreign markets at scale for the last seven years, is our ability to adapt quickly to evolving consumer tastes through our in-house design capabilities, coupled with our long-standing relationships with our contract manufacturers to bring these products to market efficiently and cost effectively.

	●	*Established Brand*. Our history of developing innovative products have created a loyal brand following, establishing SONDORS as a quality player within the e-bike marketplace. This has allowed us to expand our product offerings to reach a larger segment of consumers, including a segment of consumers interested in our Metacycle, while maintaining our focus on existing SONDORS owners.

	●	*Design Innovation and Product Functionality*. Our innovative designs, which are highlighted by their simplicity, functionality and elegance, are a critical element to the historical success and future growth of our business. We believe our product designs promote superior functionality while being easy to maintain and service.

	●	*Extensive Experience in Manufacturing and the Delivery of E-Mobility Products to the Market*. We have a well-established knowledge of, and experience in, the entire production-cycle of e-bikes and e-motorcycles and we expect to use this knowledge and experience in the development and manufacturing of other e-mobility products in the future. We have a well-established supply chain network in the People’s Republic of China which enables us to maintain attractive production costs. In addition, our contract manufacturing approach supports rapid innovation, as we have established relationships with experienced third party manufacturers that are able to adapt quickly to design and process changes that we request, enabling us to quickly pivot as consumer preferences shift and to deliver e-mobility products to market on a timely basis.

	●	*Sales Strategy*. We believe our direct-to-consumer model creates an ecosystem that fosters owner loyalty. We have also expanded our go to market strategy recently with our contract with Costco to sell select SONDORS e-bike models through its warehouse stores nationwide and online.

	●	*Strong Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights*. We believe our intellectual property provides us with competitive advantages. We rely on trademarks, service marks, patents, copyrights, domain names, trade secrets, license agreements, intellectual property assignment agreements and other contractual rights to establish and protect our proprietary rights in our technology.

Our Growth Strategy

The primary elements of our growth strategy include:

●

Acquire New Customers. We believe our focus on fast growing segments of the e-mobility market provides us with an opportunity to acquire new customers. Our specific customer acquisition themes include the following:

○

We plan to continue to invest in our direct-to-consumer marketing strategy by increasing our spend across online modalities such as social content, native ads and display ads, in addition to traditional media avenues, to capture a portion of the e-mobility market’s significant market opportunity, which we believe is going to continue to grow as the e-mobility market continues to gain popularity globally.

	○	Further, we believe the sophisticated design of our products will allow us to continue to acquire new customers and grow our customer base. In particular, the strong pre-order figures for the Metacycle have been “sight unseen,” without the benefit of Metacycle live demonstrations or test rides. We believe the innovative product design has been the largest component in driving early customer interest to the Metacycle.

	○	Our products have historically received favorable reviews within industry circles including trade publications and consumer reviews across multiple platforms. We intend to leverage these positive product reviews to increase order conversion.

	●	*Expand Across Our Existing Customer Base*. We believe there are significant opportunities to continue to expand our relationships with existing customers. Every SONDORS product is designed to fit into a larger product ecosystem, which we believe allows us to build brand recognition and consumer loyalty across multiple products, providing us with the ability to sell other SONDORS products to our current customer base.

	●	*Expand Our Product Offerings and Partnerships*. We believe we have a significant opportunity to leverage our current position within the e-mobility vertical to bring future products to market such as electric ATVs, dirt bikes and other e-mobility products. Moreover, we maintain a corporate culture that encourages new, innovative product development which we believe will result in the creation of products that will attract new customers. We also plan to grow with select partnership opportunities where the SONDORS brand fits, which could include certain big-box retailers, designated SONDORS showrooms, digital sales and augmented reality showrooms.

	●	*Expand Our Global Reach*. We believe there is significant potential to continue to grow our business in international markets because of how our products address demand for micro-mobility. We have established a strong presence in several key international markets such as Europe and Canada, and 5% of our revenue in fiscal 2021 was generated outside of the United States. We expect to enter new international markets in the future, while continuing to expand our footprint in existing markets.

	●	*Technology as a User Experience Application*. Our soon to be launched SONDORS app is expected to be a key driver in further differentiating our e-bike and e-motorcycle offerings and will give users the ability to fully customize their SONDORS experience. The SONDORS app is expected to provide a complete eco-system for SONDORS owners to connect with our company for any technical or service issues and also to connect with other SONDORS owners in a community platform. Key features of the new SONDORS app are expected to include the following:

	○	*Personalization*. The SONDORS app will enable SONDORS e-bike and Metacycle users to personalize their SONDORS experience to a depth previously reserved for aftermarket enthusiasts. The SONDORS app will allow the user to customize certain functions such as horn sounds, music selection, speaker volume, battery range extension, standard lighting or aftermarket LED lighting. This product will be sold as an aftermarket accessory and users will also be able to set “modes” for different types of driving, for example beach mode or city mode.

	○	*Community*. The SONDORS app will be available on both Apple and Android platforms and will provide SONDORS customers access to qualified service technicians and/or bike shops and a video library of SONDORS-generated content for troubleshooting or maintenance aspects of the various products. The SONDORS app will also support connection to other SONDORS users in a community forum, create unique product offerings for existing customers, allow for push notification on new products to be launched as a means to provide feedback. We believe this unique personalization and connection through a community app will continue to drive brand loyalty and a more valuable lifetime customer.

Recent Events

Corporate Reorganization

Our e-bike business is conducted by SONDORS Electric Bike Company (formerly, Sondors, Inc.) and our e-motorcycle business is conducted by SONDORS Electric Car Company. Storm Sondors is the current President, Chief Executive Officer and Secretary of SONDORS Inc., SONDORS Electric Bike Company and SONDORS Electric Car Company and is the current owner of 98.5% of the outstanding common stock of SONDORS Inc. Until July 20, 2022, Mr. Sondors owned 99.52% of the outstanding common stock of SONDORS Electric Bike Company and 96.33% of the outstanding common stock of SONDORS Electric Car Company. Effective July 20, 2022, we entered into a contribution agreement with Mr. Sondors. Under the terms of the contribution agreement, Mr. Sondors contributed his shares of common stock of SONDORS Electric Bike Company to SONDORS Inc. in exchange for 6,583,335 shares of our common stock and contributed his shares of common stock of SONDORS Electric Car Company to SONDORS Inc. in exchange for 6,373,045 shares of our common stock. As a result, SONDORS Electric Bike Company and SONDORS Electric Car Company became majority-owned subsidiaries of SONDORS Inc. We refer to the transactions provided for by the contribution agreement in this prospectus as the “Corporate Reorganization.”

The following diagram illustrates our structure before and after the consummation of the Corporate Reorganization:

Senior Secured Convertible Note and Warrant Offering

In August and September 2022, we issued in a private placement transaction an aggregate of $3,500,000 principal amount of our 10% Senior Secured Original Issue Discount Convertible Notes due April 30, 2023, which we refer to as the Senior Secured Notes, for an aggregate subscription price of $3,220,000 and with an initial conversion price equal to 80% of the initial public offering price per share of common stock in this offering.

In connection with our issuance of the Senior Secured Notes, we issued to the purchasers of the Senior Secured Notes five-year warrants, which we refer to as the Note Warrants, to purchase up to that number of shares of our common stock calculated by multiplying the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes by 0.50 and dividing the resultant amount by an amount equal to 120% of the initial public offering price per share of common stock in this offering. In connection with the private placement, we also issued to our consultant a five-year warrant, which we refer to as the Consultant Warrants, to purchase up to that number of shares of our common stock calculated by multiplying the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes by 0.50 and dividing the resultant amount by an amount equal to 120% of the initial public offering price per share of common stock in this offering. The terms of the Note Warrants and the Consultant Warrants are identical and are referred to collectively in this prospectus as the Warrants.

Risks Associated with Our Business

Our business is subject to numerous risks, including risks associated with the current businesses of SONDORS Electric Bike Company and SONDORS Electric Car Company. These risks are more fully described in the section entitled “Risk Factors” beginning on page 12 of this prospectus. You should read these risks before you invest in our common stock. We may be unable, for many reasons, including those that are beyond our control, to implement our business strategy. In particular, risks associated with our business include the following:

	●	We have incurred net losses and cannot assure you that we will achieve or maintain profitable operations.

	●	Our financial statement footnotes include disclosure regarding the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

	●	We may need to raise additional capital to fund new products and further expand our existing operations.

	●	Our success is dependent on the continued popularity of our existing products and our continued innovation and successful launches of new products, and we may not be able to anticipate or make timely responses to changes in the preferences of consumers.

	●	Our business may be sensitive to economic conditions, including those that impact our customers’ spending.

	●	We rely substantially on external suppliers for certain components and raw materials used in our products.

	●	The COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of the actions taken to mitigate the pandemic may adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. We are unable to predict the extent to which the pandemic and the related effects will continue to impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations and the achievement of our strategic objectives.

	●	Our success is dependent upon the success of the EV industry as a whole and upon consumers’ willingness to adopt EVs.

	●	Our continued success is dependent on positive perceptions of our SONDORS brands which, if impaired, could adversely affect our sales.

	●	The EV markets in which we operate are in their infancy and highly competitive, and we may not be successful in competing in these industries as the industry further develops. We currently face competition from new and established competitors and expect to face competition from others in the future, including competition from companies with new technologies.

	●	We have no experience to date in high volume manufacture of our e-motorcycle.

	●	We may in the future experience significant delays in the manufacture and delivery of the Metacycle, which could harm our business and prospects.

	●	We depend on third parties for the manufacture and assembly of our products, which could cause delays in, or prevent us from, successfully developing and commercializing our products.

	●	Increases in costs, disruption of supply or shortage of materials, in particular for lithium-ion cells, could harm our business.

	●	Failure to adequately manage our growth could impair our ability to deliver high-quality solutions to our customers, hurt our reputation and compromise our ability to become profitable.

	●	The loss of key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

	●	If tariffs or other restrictions are placed on foreign imports or any related counter measures are taken by other countries, our business and results of operations could be harmed.

	●	If we are unable to adequately control the costs associated with operating our business, including our costs of manufacturing, assembly and sales, our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects will suffer.

	●	If we are unable to adequately control the costs associated with operating our business, including our costs of manufacturing, assembly and sales, our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects will suffer.

	●	If we fail to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, we could lose important proprietary technology, which could materially and adversely affect our business.

	●	Unusual or significant litigation, governmental investigations or adverse publicity arising out of alleged defects in our products, or otherwise may derail our business.

	●	We may be subject to cybersecurity breaches and other disruptions to our information technology systems and connected products that could adversely affect our business.

	●	Following this offering, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Secretary, Storm Sondors, will own approximately % of our common stock. As a result, we will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the corporate governance rules of Nasdaq. Although we do not currently intend to rely on the exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements afforded to a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, we could potentially seek to rely on such exemptions in the future.

	●	As a result of becoming a public company, we will be subject to the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, the rules and regulations of the listing standards of Nasdaq and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Compliance with these rules and regulations will likely strain our financial and management systems, internal controls and employees.

	●	We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we are unable to remediate these material weaknesses, or if we identify additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and the value of our common stock.

As a result of these risks and other risks described under “Risk Factors,” there is no guarantee that we will experience growth or profitability in the future.

Our Corporate Information

Pacific Storm, Inc., a company under which our founder, President, Chief Executive Officer and Secretary conducted his e-bike business prior to forming SONDORS Electric Bike Company, was incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 2, 2013. SONDORS Electric Bike Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on March 15, 2017 under the name Sondors, Inc and changed its name to SONDORS Electric Bike Company on July 22, 2022. SONDORS Electric Car Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware on August 15, 2016. Our principal executive offices, and the principal executive offices of SONDORS Electric Bike Company and SONDORS Electric Car Company, are located at 23823 Malibu Road, Suite 50 #129, Malibu, CA 90265. Our telephone number is (323) 372-3000. Our Internet website addresses are www.sondorsx.com and www.sondors.com. The information contained on, or that can be accessed through, our websites is not a part of this prospectus. We have included our website addresses in this prospectus solely as inactive textual references.

Implications of Being an Emerging Growth Company and a Smaller Reporting Company

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012. We will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the last day of the fiscal year (a) following the fifth anniversary of the completion of this offering, (b) in which we have total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion, or (c) in which we are deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of our shares of common stock that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th, and (2) the date on which we have issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period. We refer to the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 in this prospectus as the “JOBS Act,” and references in this prospectus to “emerging growth company” shall have the meaning associated with it in the JOBS Act.

As an “emerging growth company,” we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:

	●	reduced disclosure about our executive compensation arrangements;

	●	no requirement that we hold non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation or golden parachute arrangements; and

	●	exemption from the auditor attestation requirement in the assessment of our internal control over financial reporting.

We have elected to take advantage of certain reduced disclosure requirements in the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part and may elect to take advantage of certain of the reduced reporting and other requirements of the JOBS Act with respect to the periodic reports we will file with the SEC and proxy statements that we use to solicit proxies from our stockholders. As a result, the information that we provide to our stockholders may be different than the information provided by other public companies.

In addition, the JOBS Act provides that an “emerging growth company” can take advantage of an extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. This allows an “emerging growth company” to delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have irrevocably elected not to avail ourselves of this exemption, and, therefore, we will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.

For certain risks related to our status as an emerging growth company, see the section titled “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Common Stock and this Offering —We are an “emerging growth company,” and we cannot be certain if the reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our shares of common stock less attractive to investors.”

We are also a “smaller reporting company,” meaning that the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates plus the proposed aggregate amount of gross proceeds to us as a result of this offering is less than $700.0 million and our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year. We may continue to be a smaller reporting company after this offering if either (i) the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $250.0 million or (ii) our annual revenue is less than $100.0 million during the most recently completed fiscal year and the market value of our stock held by non-affiliates is less than $700.0 million. If we are a smaller reporting company at the time we cease to be an emerging growth company, we may continue to rely on exemptions from certain disclosure requirements that are available to smaller reporting companies. Specifically, as a smaller reporting company we may choose to present only the two most recent fiscal years of audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and, similar to emerging growth companies, smaller reporting companies have reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation.

Each $1.00 increase (decrease) in the assumed initial public offering price of $ per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase (decrease) each of pro forma as adjusted cash and cash equivalents, total assets and total stockholders’ equity (deficit) by approximately $ million, $ million and $ million, respectively, assuming that the number of shares we are offering, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and the underwriters do not exercise their option to purchase additional shares. Depending on market conditions and other considerations at the time we price this offering, we may sell a greater or lesser number of shares than the number set forth on the cover page of this prospectus. An increase (decrease) of 1.0 million shares in the number of shares we are offering would increase (decrease) each of pro forma as adjusted cash and cash equivalents, total assets and total stockholders’ equity (deficit) by approximately $ million, $ million and $ million, respectively, assuming an initial public offering price of $ per share, which is the midpoint of the estimated offering price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions payable by us. An increase of 1.0 million shares in the number of shares we are offering, together with a $1.00 increase in the assumed initial public offering price per share, would increase each of pro forma as adjusted cash and cash equivalents, total assets and total stockholders’ equity (deficit) by approximately $ million, $ million and $ million, respectively. A decrease of 1.0 million shares in the number of shares we are offering, together with a $1.00 decrease in the assumed initial public offering price per share, would decrease each of pro forma as adjusted cash and cash equivalents, total assets and total stockholders’ equity (deficit) by approximately $ million, $ million and $ million, respectively.

Investing in shares of our common stock involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below, together with the other information contained in this prospectus, including the combined financial statements of SONDORS Electric Bike Company and SONDORS Electric Car Company, together with the related notes thereto and appearing at the end of this prospectus, before making your decision to invest in shares of our common stock. We cannot assure you that any of the events discussed in the risk factors below will not occur. These risks could have a material and adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition or prospects. If that were to happen, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

This prospectus also contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks faced by us described below and elsewhere in this prospectus. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” for information relating to these forward-looking statements.

We have incurred net losses and cannot assure you that we will achieve or maintain profitable operations.

We incurred net losses for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the six months ended June 30, 2022, of $4,892,000, $745,000 and $2,008,000, respectively. We may continue to incur significant losses in the future for a number of reasons, including unforeseen expenses, difficulties, complications, delays and other unknown events.

We anticipate that our operating expenses will increase substantially in the foreseeable future as we undertake increased development and production efforts to support our business and increase our marketing and sales efforts to drive an increase in the number of our product offerings and an increase in customers purchasing our products. These expenditures may make it more difficult to achieve and maintain profitability. In addition, our efforts to grow our business may be more expensive than we expect, and we may not be able to generate sufficient revenue to offset increased operating expenses. If we are forced to reduce our expenses, our growth strategy could be compromised. To offset these anticipated increased operating expenses, we will need to generate and sustain significant revenue levels in future periods in order to become profitable, and, even if we do, we may not be able to maintain or increase our level of profitability.

Accordingly, we cannot assure you that we will achieve sustainable operating profits as we continue to expand our infrastructure, further develop our marketing efforts, and otherwise implement our growth initiatives. Any failure to achieve and maintain profitability would have a materially adverse effect on our ability to implement our business plan, our results and operations, and our financial condition, and could cause the value of our common stock, to decline, resulting in a significant or complete loss of your investment.

Our financial statement footnotes include disclosure regarding the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

Our financial statement footnotes include disclosure regarding the substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming we will continue as a going concern and do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets, or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result if we do not continue as a going concern. Therefore, you should not rely on our combined balance sheet as an indication of the amount of proceeds that would be available to satisfy claims of creditors, and potentially be available for distribution to stockholders, in the event of liquidation. Our ability to continue as a going concern will be determined by our ability to complete this offering. If we are unable to obtain adequate funding from this offering or in the future, or if we are unable to grow our revenue to achieve and sustain profitability, we may not be able to continue as a going concern.

We may need to raise additional capital to fund new products and further expand our existing operations.

Based on our current business plan, we believe the net proceeds from this offering, together with our current cash, cash equivalents, marketable securities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements over at least the next 12 months. If our available cash balances, net proceeds from this offering and anticipated cash flow from operations are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell common or preferred equity or convertible debt securities, enter into a credit facility or another form of third-party funding, or seek other debt financing.

We may consider raising additional capital in the future to further expand our business, to pursue strategic investments, to take advantage of financing opportunities, or for other reasons. We may need additional liquidity and capital resources through debt and/or equity financings to fulfill our anticipated future product development efforts and product backlog. We may not be able to obtain adequate financing in a timely manner, on commercially reasonable terms or at all. Our failure to raise sufficient capital in a timely manner will restrict our growth and hinder our ability to compete. Our failure to obtain timely and adequate capital could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

No assurances can be given that we will be successful in obtaining additional financing in the future. Any future financing that we may obtain may cause significant dilution to existing stockholders. Any debt financing or other financing of securities senior to our common stock that we are able to obtain will likely include financial and other covenants that will restrict our flexibility. At a minimum, we expect these covenants to include restrictions on our ability to pay dividends on our common stock. Any failure to comply with these covenants would have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

If adequate funds are not available, we may be required to delay, scale back or eliminate portions of our operations and product development efforts or to obtain funds through arrangements with strategic partners or others that may require us to relinquish rights to certain of our technologies or potential products or other assets. Accordingly, the inability to obtain such financing could result in a significant loss of ownership and/or control of our proprietary technology and other important assets and could also adversely affect our ability to fund our continued operations and our development efforts and adversely affect our business.

Our success is dependent on the continued popularity of our existing products and our continued innovation and successful launches of new products, and we may not be able to anticipate or make timely responses to changes in the preferences of consumers.

The success of our operations depends on our ability to introduce new or enhanced electric-based products. Consumer preferences differ across and within each of the regions in which we operate or plan to operate and may shift over time in response to changes in demographic and social trends, economic circumstances and the marketing efforts of our competitors. There can be no assurance that our existing products will be favored by consumers or that we will be able to anticipate or respond to changes in consumer preferences in a timely manner. Our failure to anticipate, identify or react to these particular preferences could adversely affect our sales performance and our profitability. In addition, demand for many of our products, including accessories, are closely linked to customers’ purchasing power and disposable income levels, which may be adversely affected by unfavorable economic developments in the countries in which we operate.

We devote significant resources to product development. However, we may not be successful in developing innovative new products, and our new products may not be commercially successful. For example, although we have experience operating a successful e-bike business, our Metacycle, and the e-motorcycle industry in general, is new and there are no guarantees that the success in our e-bike business will be replicated with our e-motorcycle business. To the extent that we are not able to effectively gauge the direction of our key markets and successfully identify, develop and manufacture new or improved products in these changing markets, our financial results and our competitive position may suffer. In addition, there are inherent market risks associated with new product introductions, including uncertainties about marketing and consumer preference, and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in introducing new products. We may expend substantial resources developing and marketing new products that may not achieve expected sales levels.

Moreover, if we develop new products with significantly increased or new manufacturing requirements or otherwise experience significantly increased demand, we may be unable to supplement or replace our manufacturing capacity on a timely basis or on terms that are acceptable to us, which may increase our costs, reduce our margins, and harm our ability to deliver our products on time.

Our business may be sensitive to economic conditions, including those that impact our customers’ spending.

Our results of operations may be sensitive to changes in overall economic conditions that impact spending on our products, including discretionary spending. Weakening of, and fluctuations in, economic conditions affecting disposable consumer income or our customers’ budgets, such as employment levels, inflation, business conditions, the level of governmental financial assistance, changes in housing market conditions, capital markets, tax rates, savings rates, interest rates, fuel and energy costs, the economic impacts of natural disasters or other severe weather conditions acts of terrorism and the availability of consumer credit could reduce overall spending or reduce spending on our products. Adverse changes in these factors could lead to a decreased level of demand for our products, which could negatively impact our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the impact of the actions taken to mitigate the pandemic may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We are unable to predict the extent to which the pandemic and the related effects will continue to impact our business, financial condition and results of operations and the achievement of our strategic objectives.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 a pandemic. In an attempt to limit the spread of COVID-19,various governmental restrictions, including the declaration of a national emergency in the United States, multiple cities’ and states’ declarations of states of emergency, school and business closings, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, restrictions on travel, limitations on social or public gatherings, and other social distancing measures may have an adverse impact on our business and operations, including, for example, by reducing the demand for our products globally because of reduced discretionary spending and a decline in economic conditions. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic may have a material adverse effect on third-party service providers who perform critical services for us, or otherwise cause operational failures due to changes in our normal business practices necessitated by the outbreak and related governmental actions. Further, due to the evolving nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and the extent of its impact across industries and geographies and numerous other uncertainties, including its severity, duration and spread, any future “waves” of the outbreak or the spread of any variants of the disease, it is not possible to accurately predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. As global economies continue to reopen, the recovery of the economy and our business is likely to fluctuate and vary by geography. Further, the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our customers, employees, business, operations and financial performance depends on many factors that are not within our control, including, but not limited, to: governmental, business and individuals’ actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic (including restrictions on travel and transport, import and export and modified workplace activities); the impact of the pandemic on local or regional economies, travel and economic activity, and actions taken in response; the availability of government funding programs; general economic uncertainty in key markets and financial market volatility; volatility in global economic conditions and levels of economic growth; the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic; and the pace of recovery when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides.

In addition, there can be no assurance that any efforts taken by us to address the adverse impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic or actions taken by municipalities or local citizens to contain the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact will be effective and will not result in significant additional costs to us. If we are unable to recover from or mitigate the adverse effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in a timely manner, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section. Any of the foregoing factors, or other cascading effects of the pandemic that are not currently foreseeable, could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operation.

We rely substantially on external suppliers for certain components and raw materials used in our products.

We purchase certain key components and raw materials, such as frames, semiconductor chips, batteries, motors, tires, battery chargers and controllers, from external suppliers for use in our operations and production of products, and a continuous and stable supply of these components and raw materials that meet our standards is crucial to our operations and production. We expect to continue to rely on external suppliers for a substantial percentage of our production requirements in the future, and our success depends upon our ability to enter into supplier agreements and maintain relationships with our existing suppliers that provide critical components for our products. We cannot assure you that we will be able to maintain our existing relationships with these suppliers and continue to be able to source frames, batteries, motors, tires, battery chargers, controllers or other key components and raw materials we use in our products on a stable basis and at a reasonable price or at all. For example, our suppliers may increase the prices for the components or materials that our contract manufacturers purchase and/or experience disruptions in their production of the components or materials.

The supply chain also exposes us to multiple potential sources of delivery failure or component shortages. While we obtain components from multiple sources whenever possible, some of the components used in our products are purchased by us from a single source. Unexpected changes in business conditions, costs of materials, including inflation of raw material costs, the current inflationary environment in the United States, employee turnover and other labor matters, wars, including the recent conflict in Ukraine, trade policies, natural disasters, unanticipated storms, health epidemics such as the global COVID-19 pandemic, including associated variants, trade and shipping disruptions, increased freight charges, port congestions, shortages and fluctuating costs of ocean shipping containers and other factors could affect our suppliers’ ability to deliver these and other critical components to us. For example, during 2021 we experienced a significant increase in the cost of ocean shipping containers which affected our margins and, although our shipping container costs have decreased in 2022, there can be no assurance that future increases will not substantially harm our operating results. Although increases in costs to our components historically have not had a material effect on our business, increases in the future may materially affect our operating results. The unavailability of any component or supplier could result in production delays, product design changes and loss of access to important technology and tools for producing and supporting our products, as well as impact our capacity for expansion and our ability to fulfill our obligations under customer contracts. Due to the recent global semiconductor supply shortage, other supply chain issues including the COVID-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine, and the current inflationary environment in the United States, the cost of input materials, components and processes required to produce our products may increase, and we may need to increase the prices of our products in response to these cost pressures.

In addition, we do not have written agreements requiring exclusivity with any of our manufacturers and suppliers. As a result, they could produce similar products for our competitors, some of which could potentially purchase products in significantly greater volume. Furthermore, our competitors could enter into restrictive or exclusive arrangements with our manufacturers or suppliers that could impair or eliminate our access to manufacturing capacity or supplies. Our manufacturers or suppliers could also be acquired by our competitors, and may become our direct competitors, thus limiting or eliminating our access to supplies or manufacturing capacity.

Our success is dependent upon the success of the EV industry as a whole and upon consumers’ willingness to adopt EVs.

Our success is dependent upon the success of the EV industry as a whole, and in particular upon consumers’ willingness to adopt EVs, especially e-bikes and e-motorcycles. If the market for EVs does not develop at the rate or in the manner or to the extent that we expect, our business, results of operations or financial condition may be adversely materially affected. The market for EVs is relatively new, rapidly evolving, characterized by rapidly changing technologies, price competition, additional competitors, evolving government regulation and industry standard, frequent new vehicle announcements and changing consumer demands and behaviors. Factors that may influence the adoption of EVs include:

The influence of any of the factors described above may cause our customers not to purchase our EVs and may otherwise materially adversely affect our business, results of operations or financial condition.

Our continued success is dependent on positive perceptions of our SONDORS brands which, if impaired, could adversely affect our sales.

We believe that our SONDORS brands are one of the reasons our customers choose our products. To be successful, we must preserve our reputation. Reputational value is based in large part on perceptions and opinions, and broad access to social media makes it easy for anyone to provide public feedback that can influence perceptions of our company. It may be difficult to control negative publicity, regardless of whether it is accurate. While reputations may take decades to build, any negative incidents can quickly erode trust and confidence, particularly if they result in negative mainstream and social media publicity, governmental investigations, or litigation. Public concerns about the use of our products or the perceived safety of our products could result in diminished public perception of the products we sell. Any decline in the social acceptability of our products could negatively impact their sales or lead to changes in laws, rules and regulations that prevent their access to certain locations or restrict their use or manner of use in certain areas or during certain times, which could negatively impact sales. Any material decline in the social acceptability of our products could impact our ability to retain existing customers or attract new ones which, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

The range and life of the batteries we use in our products will deteriorate with usage and time, which could persuade potential customers not to purchase our products.

The lithium-ion batteries we use in our products become less effective as they chemically age, which diminishes the amount of charge they can hold and decreases the range for our e-bikes and our e-motorcycle. Moreover, a battery’s maximum instantaneous performance, or “peak power,” may decrease and negatively affect the acceleration performance of our products. This deterioration in the battery’s performance over time could persuade potential customers not to purchase our products.

The EV markets in which we operate are in their infancy and highly competitive, and we may not be successful in competing in these industries as the industry further develops. We currently face competition from new and established competitors and expect to face competition from others in the future, including competition from companies with new technologies.

The EV market is in its infancy, and we expect it will become more competitive in the future. There is no assurance that our vehicles will be successful in the respective markets in which they compete. A significant and growing number of established and new companies, as well as other companies, have entered or are reported to have plans to enter the EV market. Many of our current and potential competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, manufacturing, marketing, sales networks and other resources than we do and may be able to devote greater resources to the design, development, manufacturing, distribution, promotion, sale and support of their products. Increased competition could result in lower vehicle sales, price reductions, revenue shortfalls, loss of customers and loss of market share, which could harm our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

Further, we may be unable to keep up with changes in EV technology and, as a result, our competitiveness may suffer. Significant developments in alternative battery cell technologies may materially and adversely affect our business and prospects in ways we do not currently anticipate. Existing and other battery cell technologies or sources of energy may emerge as customers’ preferred alternative to the battery technologies in our electric vehicles. Any failure by us to develop new or enhanced technologies or processes, or to react to changes in existing technologies, could materially delay our development and introduction of new and enhanced EVs, which could result in the loss of competitiveness of our vehicles, decreased revenue and a loss of market share to competitors. In addition, we expect to compete in part on the basis of our EVs’ range, efficiency, charging speeds and performance, and improvements in the technology offered by competitors could reduce demand for the Metacycle, our e-bikes or our future product candidates. Any failure by us to successfully react to changes in existing technologies or the development of new technologies could materially harm our competitive position and growth prospects.

We have no experience to date in high volume manufacture of our e-motorcycle.

We cannot provide any assurance as to whether we will be able to develop efficient, automated, low-cost production capabilities and processes and reliable sources of component supply that will enable us to meet the quality, price, engineering, design and production standards, as well as the production volumes, required to successfully mass market our e-motorcycle. Even if we are successful in developing our high volume production capability and processes and reliably source our component supply, no assurance can be given as to whether we will be able to do so in a manner that avoids significant delays and cost overruns, including as a result of factors beyond our control such as problems with suppliers and vendors, or force majeure events, or in time to meet our commercialization schedules or to satisfy the requirements of customers and potential customers. Any failure to develop such production processes and capabilities within our projected costs and timelines could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, prospects and financial condition. Bottlenecks and other unexpected challenges may also arise as we ramp production of the Metacycle, and it will be important that we address them promptly while continuing to control our manufacturing costs. If we are not successful in doing so, or if we experience issues with our manufacturing process improvements, we could face delays in establishing and/or sustaining our production ramps or be unable to meet our related cost and profitability targets.

We may in the future experience significant delays in the manufacture and delivery of the Metacycle, which could harm our business and prospects.

We currently have pre-orders for approximately 11,000 units of the Metacycle, which we began delivering in early August 2022. Any delay in the manufacture and delivery of the Metacycle, including planned future variants, and any future EVs could materially damage our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Our ability to commercially manufacture and sell the Metacycle and fulfill the current pre-orders is dependent upon the timely availability of funds, our manufacturer’s ability to procure the necessary components to manufacture Metacycles and also upon our ability to coordinate and execute the assembly and delivery of Metacycles within the planned timelines.

We depend on third parties for the manufacture and assembly of our products, which could cause delays in, or prevent us from, successfully developing and commercializing our products.

We do not currently have nor do we plan to build the infrastructure or capability internally to manufacture and assemble our products. We currently contract with third party companies to provide such services. We could experience manufacturing and/or assembly delays if our third party manufacturers and/or assembly companies give greater priority to the supply of other products over our products or otherwise do not satisfactorily perform according to the terms of the agreement between us. Consequently, we could experience significant interruptions in the supply of our products, which could impair our ability to timely launch and supply our products at the levels required for successful market commercialization.

Our products and certain of their components are manufactured and assembled internationally. Our reliance on suppliers and manufacturers in foreign markets, as well as our sales in non-U.S. markets, creates risks inherent in doing business in foreign jurisdictions, including:

For example, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and associated variants, has resulted in travel restrictions, supply chain disruptions and extended shutdown of certain businesses around the globe. This public health crises or any further political developments or health concerns in markets in which our products are manufactured could result in social, economic and labor instability, adversely affecting the supply of our products and, in turn, our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further, we cannot assure you that our directors, officers, employees, representatives, manufacturers or suppliers have not engaged and will not engage in conduct for which we may be held responsible, nor can we assure you that our manufacturers, suppliers or other business partners have not engaged and will not engage in conduct that could materially harm their ability to perform their contractual obligations to us or even result in our being held liable for such conduct. Violations of the FCPA, OFAC restrictions or other export control, anti-corruption, anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism laws, or allegations of such acts, could damage our reputation and subject us to civil or criminal investigations in the United States and in other jurisdictions and related shareholder lawsuits, could lead to substantial civil and criminal, monetary and nonmonetary penalties and could cause us to incur significant legal and investigatory fees, which could harm our business, financial condition, cash flows, and results of operations.

Moreover, our manufacturing is performed in whole or in part by outsourcing partners located primarily in the People’s Republic of China. A significant concentration of this manufacturing is currently performed by a small number of outsourcing partners, often in single locations. While these arrangements can lower operating costs, they also reduce our direct control over production and distribution. Such diminished control has from time to time and may in the future have an adverse effect on the quality or quantity of our products and may adversely affect our flexibility to respond to changing conditions. Although arrangements with these partners may contain provisions for product defect expense reimbursement, we generally remain responsible to the consumer for warranty and out-of-warranty service in the event of product defects.

Increases in costs, disruption of supply or shortage of materials, in particular for lithium-ion cells, could harm our business.

We may experience increases in the cost of or a sustained interruption in the supply or shortage of materials for the production of our e-bikes, e-motorcycle and future potential EVs. Any such increase, supply interruption or shortage could materially and adversely impact our business, results of operations, prospects and financial condition. We, through our third party manufacturers, use various materials in our business, including various metals and lithium-ion cells from suppliers. The prices for these materials fluctuate, and their available supply may be unstable, depending on market conditions and global demand for these materials, including as a result of increased production of electric vehicles and energy storage products by our competitors, and could adversely affect our business and results of operations. For instance, we are exposed to multiple risks relating to lithium-ion cells. These risks include:

Our ability to manufacture our products will depend on the continued supply of battery cells for the battery packs used in our products. We have limited flexibility in changing battery cell suppliers, and any disruption in the supply of battery cells from such suppliers could disrupt production of our vehicles until a different supplier is fully qualified. Such supply chain difficulties could delay the production of our products or planned EVs, impair our ability to continue production once started or force us or our suppliers to pay exorbitant rates for continued access to battery cells, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects and results of operations. In addition, prices and transportation expenses for these materials fluctuate depending on many factors beyond our control, including fluctuations in supply and demand, currency fluctuations, tariffs and taxes, fluctuations and shortages in petroleum supply, freight charges and other economic and political factors. Substantial increases in the prices for our materials, prices charged to us, such as those charged by battery cell suppliers, or increases in shipping container costs would increase our operating costs, and could reduce our margins if we cannot recoup the increased costs through increased prices. Any attempts to increase product prices in response to increased material costs could result in cancellations of orders and pre-orders and materially and adversely affect our brand, image, business, results of operations, prospects and financial condition.

Failure to adequately manage our growth could impair our ability to deliver high-quality solutions to our customers, hurt our reputation and compromise our ability to become profitable.

We expect to experience significant growth in our business. If we do not effectively manage our growth, the quality of our product offerings may suffer, which could negatively affect our reputation, demand for our products or compromise our ability to become profitable. For example, our ability to grow depends in part on our ability to forecast demand for our e-bikes and our e-motorcycle. If we fail to accurately forecast demand we may experience excess inventory levels or a shortage of product and delays in delivering to our retail partners or directly to customers. If we underestimate the demand for our products, our manufacturers may not be able to scale quickly enough to meet demands, and this could result in delays in the shipment of our products and our failure to satisfy demand, as well as damage to our reputation and retail partner relationships. If we overestimate the demand for our products, we could face inventory levels in excess of demand, which could result in inventory write-downs or write-offs and the sale of excess inventory at discounted prices, which would harm our gross margins. In addition, failure to accurately predict the level of demand for our products could cause a decline in sales and harm our results of operations and financial condition. Factors that may impact our ability to forecast demand for our products include the COVID-19 pandemic, the recent outbreak of the war in Ukraine, shifting consumer trends, increased competition and our limited operating experience.

In addition, we may not be able to accurately forecast our results of operations and growth rate. Forecasts may be particularly challenging as we expand into new markets and geographies and develop and market new products. Our historical sales, expense levels and profitability may not be an appropriate basis for forecasting future results, particularly due to uncertainty related to the duration and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Failure to accurately forecast our results of operations and growth rate could cause us to make incorrect operating decisions and we may not be able to adjust in a timely manner. Consequently, actual results could be materially lower than anticipated. Even if the markets in which we compete expand, we cannot assure you that our business or profitability will grow at similar rates, if at all.

Furthermore, our growth is expected to place a significant strain on our managerial, operational and financial resources and our infrastructure. Our future success will depend, in part, upon the ability of our senior management to manage growth effectively. This will require us to, among other things, hire additional personnel, implement additional management information systems and maintain close coordination among our engineering, operations, legal, finance, sales and marketing and client service and support organizations.

The loss of key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

The success of our company will depend in part on our ability to retain key employees. The loss of the day-to-day involvement of these key employees, especially our founder, President, Chief Executive Officer and Secretary, Storm Sondors, could have a material adverse effect on us, and if other key employees terminate their employment, our business activities might be adversely affected and our business, financial condition or results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, we might not be able to locate suitable replacements for any such key employees who leave us or offer employment to potential replacements on reasonable terms.

If tariffs or other restrictions are placed on foreign imports or any related counter measures are taken by other countries, our business and results of operations could be harmed.

Geopolitical uncertainties and events could cause damage or disruption to international commerce and the global economy, and thus could have a material adverse effect on us, our suppliers, logistics providers, manufacturing vendors and customers. Changes in commodity prices may also cause political uncertainty and increase currency volatility that can affect economic activity. The progress and continuation of trade negotiations between the United States and the People’s Republic of China continues to be uncertain and a further escalation of the trade war remains a possibility. These tariffs have, and will continue to have, an adverse effect on our results of operations and margins. We are unable to predict the magnitude, scope or duration of the imposed tariffs or the magnitude, scope or duration from any relief in increases to such tariffs, or the potential for additional tariffs or trade barriers by the United States, the People’s Republic of China or other countries, and any strategies we may implement to mitigate the impact of such tariffs or other trade actions may not be successful.

Changes in domestic social, political, regulatory and economic conditions or in laws and policies governing foreign trade, manufacturing, development and investment in the territories and countries where we currently develop and sell products, and any negative sentiments towards the United States as a result of such changes, could also adversely affect our business. For example, if the United States government withdraws or materially modifies existing or proposed trade agreements, places greater restriction on free trade generally or imposes increases on tariffs on goods imported into the United States, particularly from the People’s Republic of China, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected. In addition, negative sentiments towards the United States among non-U.S. customers and among non-U.S. employees or prospective employees could adversely affect sales or hiring and retention, respectively.

The foreign policies of governments may be volatile and may result in rapid changes to import and export requirements, customs classifications, tariffs, trade sanctions and embargoes or other retaliatory trade measures that may cause us to raise prices, prevent us from offering products or providing services to particular entities or markets, may cause us to make changes to our operations, or create delays and inefficiencies in our supply chain. Furthermore, if the U.S. government imposes new sanctions against certain countries or entities, such sanctions could sufficiently restrict our ability to market and sell our products and may materially adversely affect our results of operations.

If we are unable to adequately control the costs associated with operating our business, including our costs of design, manufacturing, assembly, marketing, sales, distribution and service, our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects will suffer.

If we are unable to maintain a sufficiently low level of costs for designing, manufacturing, assembling, marketing, selling, distributing and servicing our products relative to their selling prices, our operating results, gross margins, business and prospects could be materially and adversely impacted. We have made, and will be required to continue to make, significant investments for the design, manufacture, assembly, marketing, selling, distributing and the servicing of our products. There can be no assurances that our costs of producing and delivering our products will be less than the revenue we generate from sales at the time of the launch of such product or that we will ever achieve a positive gross margin on sales of any specific product.

We will continue to incur significant costs related to contracting for the manufacture of our products, procuring the materials required to manufacture and assemble our products, assembling products and compensating our personnel and consultants. Many of the factors that impact our operating costs are beyond our control. For example, the costs of our raw materials and components could increase due to shortages if global demand for these materials and components increases. In addition, we may experience increases in the cost or a sustained interruption in the supply or shortage of materials. Any such cost increase or supply interruption could materially negatively impact our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. If we are unable to keep our operating costs aligned with the level of revenues we generate, our operating results, business and prospects will be harmed.

If our products fail to perform as expected, we may have to recall our products and our ability to develop, market and sell our products could be harmed.

Our products may contain defects in design and manufacture that may cause them not to perform as expected or that may require repair. While we perform extensive internal testing on our products prior to commercial launch, we have a limited frame of reference by which to evaluate the performance of our products. There can be no assurances that we will not be required to recall products in the future. There can be no assurance that we will be able to detect and fix any defects in our products prior to their sale to consumers. In the future, we may at various times, voluntarily or involuntarily, initiate a recall if any of our products or their components prove to be defective. In addition, our products may not perform consistent with customers’ expectations or consistent with other products currently available. Any product defects or any other failure of our products to perform as expected could harm our reputation and result in adverse publicity, lost revenue, delivery delays, product recalls, product liability claims, harm to our brand and reputation, and significant warranty and other expenses, and could have a material adverse impact on our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects.

Significant product repair and/or replacement due to product warranty claims could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

We provide a one-year warranty against defects for our e-bikes and our Metacycle, which is currently in production, and a one-year warranty on the battery. Our warranty will generally require us to repair or replace defective products during such warranty periods at no cost to the consumer. We will record provisions based on an estimate of product warranty claims, but there is the possibility that actual claims may exceed these provisions and therefore negatively impact our results of operations or financial condition.

In rare instances, the lithium-ion battery cells, like the ones in our EVs, have caught fire or expelled smoke or flames. If our customers experience any of those issues, or if our EVs are perceived to produce those issues, it could have a negative effect on our reputation and business.

Our products contain lithium-ion cells which, if not properly managed or subject to environmental stresses, can rapidly release the energy they contain by venting smoke and flames that can ignite nearby materials This could result in bodily injury or death and could subject us to lawsuits, product recalls or redesign efforts, all of which would be time consuming and expensive and could harm our reputation and business.

Our Metacycle operates with less noise when compared to internal combustion engine motorcycles, which may subject riders to greater risks.

Our Metacycle operates with less noise when compared to internal combustion engine motorcycles, which may subject riders to greater risks including traffic accidents. This could result in litigation, negative publicity and additional government regulation against us and our products, materially and adversely affecting our business, financial condition and operating results.

Unusual or significant litigation, governmental investigations or adverse publicity arising out of alleged defects in our products, or otherwise may derail our business.

We comply with all governmental safety regulations applicable to our products. Compliance with governmental standards, however, does not necessarily prevent individual or class actions, which can entail significant cost and risk. In certain circumstances, courts may permit tort claims even where our products comply with federal law and/or other applicable law. In addition, the manufacture, sale and use of our products expose us to significant risks associated with product liability, economic loss, and other claims. If our products are found to be defective or used incorrectly by our customers, bodily injury, property damage or other injury, including death, may result and this could give rise to additional product liability or economic loss claims against us or adversely affect our brand image or reputation.

We purchase excess insurance coverage for product liability claims for incidents occurring subsequent to the policy date that exceed our self-insured retention levels. However, certain claims, such as economic loss claims, false marketing claims, and punitive damages, are uninsured.

No assurance can be given that our historical claims record, which has not resulted in any material adverse effects on our financial statements, will not change or that material product liability or other claims against us will not be made in the future. An unanticipated adverse determination of a material product liability claim or other material claim (particularly an uninsured matter) made against us could materially and adversely affect our financial condition.

Furthermore, simply responding to actual or threatened litigation or government investigations of our compliance with regulatory standards, whether related to our products or business or commercial relationships, may require significant expenditures of time and other resources. Litigation also is inherently uncertain, and we could experience significant adverse results if litigation is ever brought against us. In addition, adverse publicity surrounding an allegation of a defect, regulatory violation or other matter (with or without corresponding litigation or governmental investigation) may cause significant reputational harm that could have a significant adverse effect on our sales.

Most of our senior management team will have limited experience managing a publicly traded company, and regulatory compliance may divert their attention from the day-to-day management of our business.

Most of the individuals who will constitute our senior management team have limited experience managing a publicly traded company and limited experience complying with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies. The senior management team may not successfully or efficiently manage the transition to a public company that is subject to significant regulatory oversight and reporting obligations under U.S. securities laws. In particular, these new obligations will require substantial attention from the management and could divert their attention away from the day-to-day management of our business.

We are subject to substantial government regulation and unfavorable or unanticipated changes to, or failure by us to comply with, current or future regulations could substantially harm our business and operating results.

Our EVs are subject to substantial government regulation under international, federal, state and local laws, and compliance with these regulations will require significant costs. Regulations related to the EV industry are subject to change, some of which may be difficult to anticipate, and we face risks associated with complying with these changes.

To the extent the laws change, our EVs may not comply with applicable international, federal, state or local laws, which could have an adverse effect on our business. Compliance with any new, unfavorable or unanticipated regulations could be burdensome, time consuming and expensive. To the extent compliance with new regulations is cost prohibitive, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results could be materially and adversely affected.

Internationally, there may be laws in jurisdictions we do not currently operate in or laws we are unaware of in jurisdictions where we do operate that may restrict our sales or other business practices. Moreover, the laws in this area can be complex, difficult to interpret and may change over time. Continued regulatory limitations and other obstacles interfering with our ability to sell EVs directly to consumers could have a negative and material impact on our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results.

If we fail to adequately protect our intellectual property rights, we could lose important proprietary technology, which could materially and adversely affect our business.

Our success and ability to compete depends, in substantial part, upon our ability to develop and protect our proprietary technology and intellectual property rights to distinguish our products, services and technology from those of our competitors. The unauthorized use of our intellectual property rights and proprietary technology by others could materially harm our business.

Historically, we have relied primarily on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright and trade secret laws, along with non-competition and confidentiality agreements, contractual provisions, and manufacturing processes, to establish and protect our intellectual property rights.

Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights, existing laws afford only limited protection, and our actions may be inadequate to protect our rights or to prevent others from claiming violations of their proprietary rights. Unauthorized third parties may attempt to copy, reverse engineer or otherwise obtain, use or exploit aspects of our products, develop similar technology independently, or otherwise obtain and use information that we regard as proprietary. We cannot assure you that our competitors will not independently develop technology similar or superior to our technology or design around our intellectual property. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries may not protect our proprietary rights as fully or in the same manner as the laws of the U.S.

We may need to resort to litigation to enforce our intellectual property rights, to protect our trade secrets and trademarks, and to determine the validity and scope of other companies’ proprietary rights in the future. However, litigation could result in significant costs and in the diversion of management and financial resources. We cannot assure you that any such litigation will be successful or that we will prevail over counterclaims against us. Our failure to protect any of our important intellectual property rights or any litigation that we resort to in order to enforce those rights could materially and adversely affect our business.

If we face claims of intellectual property infringement by third parties, we could encounter expensive litigation, be liable for significant damages or incur restrictions on our ability to sell our products and services.

Although we are not aware of any present infringement of our products, services or technology on the intellectual property rights of others, we cannot be certain that our products and technologies do not or in the future will not infringe on the valid intellectual property rights held by third parties. In addition, we cannot assure you that third parties will not claim that we have infringed their intellectual property rights.

In recent years, there has been a significant amount of litigation in the U.S. involving patents and other intellectual property rights. In the future, we may be a party to litigation as a result of an alleged infringement of others’ intellectual property. Successful infringement claims against us could result in substantial monetary liability, require us to enter into royalty or licensing arrangements, or otherwise materially disrupt the conduct of our business. In addition, even if we prevail on these claims, this litigation could be time-consuming and expensive to defend or settle, and could result in the diversion of our time and attention and of operational resources, which could materially and adversely affect our business. Any potential intellectual property litigation also could force us to do one or more of the following:

If we are forced to take any of these actions, our business may be seriously harmed. Although we carry general liability insurance, our insurance may not cover potential claims of this type or may not be adequate to indemnify us for all liability that may be imposed.

We may be subject to cybersecurity breaches and other disruptions to our information technology systems and connected products that could adversely affect our business.

We use many information technology systems, some of which are managed by third parties, in operating our business. Those systems and products process potentially sensitive information, including intellectual property, proprietary business information of us, and our supply chain suppliers and service providers, and, in the case of those systems managed by third parties, personal information of customers and employees. Our systems and products, including those managed by third parties, have been, and could be in the future vulnerable to breach, damage, disruption, or breakdown from various sources, including power loss, viruses, malware, ransomware, phishing, denial of service, and other cyberattacks that may be random, targeted, or the result of misconduct or error by individuals with access to our systems. While we invest in layers of data and information technology protection, and our management, together with our board of directors who exercise general risk oversight responsibility, monitor continually evolving cybersecurity threats, there can be no assurance that our efforts will prevent disruptions or breaches of our systems and connected products.

To our knowledge, we have not experienced any material disruptions or breaches of our information technology systems, connected products, or operations as a result of any cyberattacks. We could, however, experience material disruptions or breaches in the future. Such disruptions or breaches of our information technology systems and connected products could adversely affect our business by resulting in, among other things:

We are subject to laws and regulations in the U.S. concerning the handling of personal information, including laws that require us to notify governmental authorities and/or affected individuals of data breaches involving certain personal information. Regulatory actions or litigation seeking to impose significant penalties could be brought against us in the event of a data breach or alleged non-compliance with such laws and regulations.

Purchasers in this offering will experience immediate and substantial dilution in the book value of their investment.

The initial public offering price of our common stock is substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common stock calculated on a pro-forma basis after taking into account the Corporate Reorganization. Therefore, if you purchase shares of our common stock in this offering, you will pay a price per share that substantially exceeds our net tangible book value per share after this offering. Based on the assumed initial public offering price of $ per share, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, you will experience immediate dilution of $ per share, representing the difference between our pro forma net tangible book value per share after giving effect to this offering and the assumed initial public offering price. Purchasers of common stock in this offering will have contributed approximately % of the aggregate price paid by all purchasers of our stock but will own only approximately % of our common stock outstanding after this offering, excluding any shares of our common stock that they may have acquired prior to this offering. Furthermore, if the underwriter exercises its option to purchase additional shares, you will experience further dilution. For a further description of the dilution that you will experience immediately after this offering, see “Dilution.”

No public market for our common stock currently exists and an active trading market may not develop or be sustained following this offering.

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for our common stock. The initial public offering price for our common stock will be determined through negotiations with the underwriter. This price will not necessarily reflect the price at which investors in the market will be willing to buy and sell our shares of common stock following this offering. Although we have applied to list our common stock on Nasdaq, we may not get approved and even if we are approved an active trading market for our shares may never develop or, if developed, be maintained following this offering. If an active market for our common stock does not develop or is not maintained, it may be difficult for you to sell shares you purchase in this offering without depressing the market price for the shares or at all. An inactive trading market also may impair our ability to raise capital to continue to fund operations by selling shares and may impair our ability to acquire other companies or technologies by using our shares as consideration. The lack of an active market also may reduce the fair market value of your shares of common stock.

Following this offering, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Secretary, Storm Sondors, will own approximately % of our common stock. As a result, we will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Although we do not currently intend to rely on the exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements afforded to a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, we could potentially seek to rely on such exemptions in the future.

Upon the completion of this offering, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Secretary, Storm Sondors, will own approximately % of our common stock. As a result, we will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, a group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, including, without limitation (i) the requirement that a majority of the board of directors consist of independent directors, (ii) the requirement that the compensation of our officers be determined or recommended to our board of directors by a compensation committee that is comprised solely of independent directors, and (iii) the requirement that director nominees be selected or recommended to the board of directors by a majority of independent directors or a nominating committee comprised solely of independent directors. We do not currently intend to rely on those exemptions afforded to a “controlled company.” Nonetheless, in the future, we could potentially seek to rely on certain of those exemptions afforded to a “controlled company,” and in such case, you would not have the same protections afforded to stockholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

We have broad discretion in the use of net proceeds from this offering and may not use them effectively.

Although we currently intend to use the net proceeds from this offering in the manner described in “Use of Proceeds” elsewhere in this prospectus, we will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds and could spend the proceeds in ways that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. Our failure to apply these net proceeds effectively could result in financial losses that could have a material adverse effect on our business, cause the price of our common stock to decline and delay the expansion of our business. Pending their use, we may invest the net proceeds from this offering in a manner that does not produce income or that loses value.

As a result of becoming a public company, we will be subject to the Exchange Act, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, the rules and regulations of the listing standards of Nasdaq and other applicable securities rules and regulations. Compliance with these rules and regulations will likely strain our financial and management systems, internal controls and employees.

The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, requires, among other things, that we file annual, quarterly, and current reports with respect to our business and operating results. Moreover, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, requires, among other things, that we maintain effective disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control, over financial reporting. In order to maintain and, if required, improve our disclosure controls and procedures, and internal control over, financial reporting to meet this standard, significant resources and management oversight may be required. If we have material weaknesses or deficiencies in our internal control over financial reporting, we may not detect errors on a timely basis and our financial statements may be materially misstated. Effective internal control is necessary for us to produce reliable financial reports and is important to prevent fraud.

In addition, we will be required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act when we cease to be an emerging growth company. We expect to incur significant expenses and devote substantial management effort toward ensuring compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. As a result of the complexity involved in complying with the rules and regulations applicable to public companies, our management’s attention may be diverted from other business concerns, which could harm our business, operating results, and financial condition. Although we have already hired additional employees to assist us in complying with these requirements, our finance team is small and we may need to hire more employees in the future, or engage outside consultants, which will increase our operating expenses.

We also expect that being a public company and complying with applicable rules and regulations will make it more expensive for us to obtain director and officer liability insurance, and we may be required to incur substantially higher costs to obtain and maintain the same or similar coverage. These factors could also make it more difficult for us to attract and retain qualified members of our board of directors and qualified executive officers.

We have identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we are unable to remediate these material weaknesses, or if we identify additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and the value of our common stock.

In the course of preparing our financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, we identified material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting which have not been remediated as of the date of this prospectus. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses identified relate to information technology general controls, controls to address segregation of certain accounting duties, timely reconciliation and analysis of certain key accounts and the review of journal entries. We have concluded that these material weaknesses arose because, as a private company, we did not have the necessary business processes, systems, personnel and related internal controls necessary to satisfy the accounting and financial reporting requirements of a public company.

To address our material weaknesses, we have added personnel as well as implemented new financial systems and processes. We intend to continue to take steps to remediate the material weaknesses described above through hiring additional qualified accounting and financial reporting personnel, and further evolving our accounting processes. We will not be able to fully remediate these material weaknesses until these steps have been completed and have been operating effectively for a sufficient period of time. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, and actions we may take in the future, will be sufficient to remediate the control deficiencies that led to our material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting or that they will prevent or avoid potential future material weaknesses. Our current controls and any new controls that we develop may become inadequate because of changes in conditions in our business. Further, weaknesses in our disclosure controls and internal control over financial reporting may be discovered in the future. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls or any difficulties encountered in their implementation or improvement could harm our operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations and may result in a restatement of our financial statements for prior periods.

Our independent registered public accounting firm is not required to formally attest to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting until after we are no longer an “emerging growth company” as defined in the JOBS Act. At such time, our independent registered public accounting firm may issue a report that is adverse in the event it is not satisfied with the level at which our internal control over financial reporting is documented, designed, or operating. Any failure to implement and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting also could adversely affect the results of periodic management evaluations and annual independent registered public accounting firm attestation reports regarding the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting that we will eventually be required to include in our periodic reports that are filed with the SEC. Ineffective disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial and other information, which would likely have a negative effect on the trading price of our common stock. In addition, if we are unable to continue to meet these requirements, we may not be able to remain listed on Nasdaq.

The price of our shares of common stock is likely to be volatile, and you could lose all or part of your investment.

The trading price of our shares of common stock is likely to be volatile and could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to various factors, some of which are beyond our control, including limited trading volume. In addition to the factors discussed in the “Risk Factors” section and elsewhere in this prospectus, these factors include, without limitation:

Furthermore, the public equity markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions such as recessions, interest rate changes or international currency fluctuations, may negatively impact the market price of our shares of common stock. If the market price of our shares of common stock after this offering does not exceed the initial public offering price, you may not realize any return on your investment in us and may lose some or all of your investment.

We may be subject to securities class action litigation, which may harm our business and operating results.

Companies that have experienced volatility in the market price of their stock have been subject to securities class action litigation. We may be the target of this type of litigation in the future. Securities litigation against us could result in substantial costs and damages, and divert our management’s attention from other business concerns, which could seriously harm our business, results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

We may also be called on to defend ourself against lawsuits relating to its business operations. Some of these claims may seek significant damages amounts. Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation, the ultimate outcome of any such proceedings cannot be accurately predicted. A future unfavorable outcome in a legal proceeding could have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition, and results of operations. In addition, current and future litigation, regardless of its merits, could result in substantial legal fees, settlements, or judgment costs and a diversion of our management’s attention and resources that are needed to successfully run our business.

We do not anticipate paying cash dividends, and accordingly, stockholders must rely on stock appreciation for any return on their investment.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. We intend to retain a significant portion of our future earnings, if any, to finance the operations, development and growth of our business. Any future determination to declare dividends will be made at the discretion of our board of directors, subject to applicable laws, and will depend on number of factors, including our financial condition, results of operations, capital requirements, contractual restrictions, general business conditions and other factors that our board of directors may deem relevant. As a result, only appreciation of the price of our common stock, which may never occur, will provide a return to stockholders.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research or reports about our business, our share price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our shares of common stock will depend, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any control over these analysts. If no securities or industry analysts commence coverage of our company, the trading price for our shares of common stock may be negatively impacted. If we obtain securities or industry analyst coverage and if one or more of the analysts who covers us downgrades our shares of common stock, changes their opinion of our shares or publishes inaccurate or unfavorable research about our business, our share price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of us or fails to publish reports on us regularly, demand for our shares of common stock could decrease and we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our share price and trading volume to decline.

Some provisions of our charter documents and Delaware law may have anti-takeover effects that could discourage an acquisition of us by others, even if an acquisition would be beneficial to our stockholders, and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management.

Provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us or increase the cost of acquiring us, even if doing so would benefit our stockholders. These provisions include:

Although we have opted out of Section 203 of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation contains provisions that are similar to Section 203. Specifically, our certificate of incorporation provides that, subject to certain exceptions, we will not be able to engage in a “business combination” with any “interested stockholder” for three years following the date that the person became an interested stockholder, unless certain requirements are met. A “business combination” includes, among other things, a merger or consolidation involving us and the “interested stockholder” or the sale of more than 10% of our assets or to an interested stockholder. In general, an “interested stockholder” is any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock and any affiliates or associates of such entity or person.

These anti-takeover provisions and other provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could make it more difficult for stockholders or potential acquirers to obtain control of our board of directors or initiate actions that are opposed by the then-current board of directors and could also delay or impede a merger, tender offer or proxy contest involving our company. These provisions could also discourage proxy contests and make it more difficult for you and other stockholders to elect directors of your choosing or cause us to take other corporate actions you desire. Any delay or prevention of a change of control transaction or changes in our board of directors could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.

Our certificate of incorporation contains an exclusive forum provision, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents.

Our certificate of incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if such court lacks jurisdiction, any other state or federal court located within the State of Delaware) shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law, or the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against us governed by the internal affairs doctrine.

For the avoidance of doubt, the exclusive forum provision described above does not apply to any claims arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act. Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, and Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder.

The choice of forum provision in our certification of incorporation may limit our stockholders’ ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that they find favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers, employees or agents, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers, employees and agents even though an action, if successful, might benefit our stockholders. The applicable courts may also reach different judgments or results than would other courts, including courts where a stockholder considering an action may be located or would otherwise choose to bring the action, and such judgments or results may be more favorable to us than to our stockholders. With respect to the provision making the Court of Chancery the sole and exclusive forum for certain types of actions, stockholders who do bring a claim in the Court of Chancery could face additional litigation costs in pursuing any such claim, particularly if they do not reside in or near Delaware. Finally, if a court were to find this provision of our certificate of incorporation inapplicable to, or unenforceable in respect of, one or more of the specified types of actions or proceedings, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such matters in other jurisdictions, which could have a material adverse effect on us.

We are an “emerging growth company,” and we cannot be certain if the reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make our shares of common stock less attractive to investors.

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the JOBS Act. For as long as we continue to be an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies, including not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in this prospectus, our periodic reports and proxy statements and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. We could be an emerging growth company for up to five years, although circumstances could cause us to lose that status earlier, including if the market value of our shares of common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of any June 30 before that time or if we have total annual gross revenue of $1.07 billion or more during any fiscal year before that time, in which cases we would no longer be an emerging growth company as of the following December 31, or if we issue more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during any three-year period before that time, in which case we would no longer be an emerging growth company immediately. We cannot predict if investors will find our shares of common stock less attractive because we may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find our shares of common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for our shares of common stock and our share price may be more volatile.

Under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies also can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates for new or revised accounting standards.

As a publicly traded company, we believe that our business will benefit from, among other things, providing direct access to equity capital and a tailored capital structure, allowing us to better focus our financial and operational resources on our specific business, allowing our management to design and implement corporate strategies and policies that are based primarily on the business characteristics and strategic decisions of our business, allowing us to more effectively respond to industry dynamics and allowing the creation of effective incentives for our management and employees that are more closely tied to our business performance. However, we may not be able to achieve some or all of the benefits that we believe we can achieve as an independent company in the time we currently expect, if at all. Additionally, new appointees to our board of directors will have limited familiarity with our offerings, business and strategy, and it may take time for such appointees to become conversant in our business. Implementing these changes may take longer than we expect, result in the incurrence of additional costs or divert management’s attention, which could adversely affect our business.

We will incur significant costs as a result of operating as a public company and our management expects to devote substantial time to public company compliance programs.

As a public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses due to our compliance with regulations and disclosure obligations applicable to us, including compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act as well as rules implemented by the SEC and Nasdaq. The SEC and other regulators have continued to adopt new rules and regulations and make additional changes to existing regulations that require our compliance. In July 2010, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, or the Dodd-Frank Act, was enacted. There are significant corporate governance and executive compensation related provisions in the Dodd-Frank Act that have required the SEC to adopt additional rules and regulations in these areas. Stockholder activism, the current political environment and the current high level of government intervention and regulatory reform may lead to substantial new regulations and disclosure obligations, which may lead to additional compliance costs and impact, in ways we cannot currently anticipate, the manner in which we operate our business. Our management and other personnel will devote a substantial amount of time to these compliance programs and monitoring of public company reporting obligations and, as a result of the new corporate governance and executive compensation related rules, regulations and guidelines prompted by the Dodd-Frank Act and further regulations and disclosure obligations expected in the future, we will likely need to devote additional time and costs to comply with such compliance programs and rules. These rules and regulations will cause us to incur significant legal and financial compliance costs and will make some activities more time-consuming and costly.

Raising additional capital, including through future sales and issuances of our common stock, or warrants or the exercise of rights to purchase common stock pursuant to our 2022 Plan could result in additional dilution of the percentage ownership of our stockholders, could cause our share price to fall and could restrict our operations.

We expect that significant additional capital will be needed in the future to continue our planned operations, including any potential acquisitions, hiring new personnel and continuing activities as an operating public company. To the extent we seek additional capital through a combination of public and private equity offerings and debt financings, our stockholders may experience substantial dilution. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interest of our existing stockholders may be diluted, and the terms may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our stockholders. Debt and receivables financings may be coupled with an equity component, such as warrants to purchase shares of our common stock, which could also result in dilution of our existing stockholders’ ownership. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed payment obligations and could also result in certain restrictive covenants, such as limitations on our ability to incur additional debt and other operating restrictions that could adversely impact our ability to conduct our business. A failure to obtain adequate funds may cause us to curtail certain operational activities, including sales and marketing, in order to reduce costs and sustain the business, and would have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Under our 2022 Plan, we may grant equity awards covering up to 3,500,000 shares of our common stock. As of the date of this offering, we have not granted any options to purchase shares of common stock under the 2022 Plan. However, under the terms of our employment agreements with our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Growth Officer immediately upon the execution by us of an underwriting agreement with the underwriter, our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Growth Officer will each be granted an incentive stock option pursuant to our 2022 Plan to purchase up to a number of shares of our common stock with a value equal to 2% of the total value of all shares of our outstanding common stock calculated after taking into account the shares of common stock issued in this offering and using the initial public offering price per share as set forth in the underwriting agreement. We plan to register the number of shares available for issuance under our 2022 Plan. Sales of shares issued upon exercise of options or granted under our 2022 Plan may result in material dilution to our existing stockholders, which could cause our share price to fall.

The market price of our common stock and the value of your investment could substantially decline if our outstanding Warrants are exercised for shares of our common stock and all of these shares of common stock are resold into the market, or if a perception exists that a substantial number of shares of common stock will be issued upon exercise of our Warrants and then resold into the market.

Sales of a substantial number of shares of common stock issued upon exercise of our Warrants, or even the perception that these sales could occur, could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. As a result, you could experience a substantial decline in the value of your investment as a result of both the actual and potential exercise of our outstanding Warrants.

Our issuance of shares of preferred stock could adversely affect the market value of our common stock, dilute the voting power of common stockholders and delay or prevent a change of control.

Upon the completion of this offering, our board of directors will have the authority to cause us to issue, without any further vote or action by the stockholders, up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series, to designate the number of shares constituting any series, and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, voting rights, rights and terms of redemption, redemption price or prices and liquidation preferences of such series.

The issuance of shares of preferred stock with dividend or conversion rights, liquidation preferences or other economic terms favorable to the holders of preferred stock could adversely affect the market price for our common stock by making an investment in the common stock less attractive. For example, investors in the common stock may not wish to purchase common stock at a price above the conversion price of a series of convertible preferred stock because the holders of the preferred stock would effectively be entitled to purchase common stock at the lower conversion price causing economic dilution to the holders of common stock.

Further, the issuance of shares of preferred stock with voting rights may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our other classes of voting stock either by diluting the voting power of our other classes of voting stock if they vote together as a single class, or by giving the holders of any such preferred stock the right to block an action on which they have a separate class vote even if the action were approved by the holders of our other classes of voting stock. The issuance of shares of preferred stock may also have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company without further action by the stockholders, even where stockholders are offered a premium for their shares.

Claims for indemnification by our directors and officers may reduce our available funds to satisfy successful third party claims against us and may reduce the amount of money available to us.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. In addition, as permitted by Section 145 of the DGCL, our bylaws and our indemnification agreements that we plan to enter into with our directors and officers provide that:

To the extent that a claim for indemnification is brought by any of our directors or officers, it would reduce the amount of funds available for use in our business.

We have applied to list our common stock on Nasdaq. There is no guarantee that our common stock will be listed on Nasdaq.

We have applied to list our common stock on Nasdaq. On the date of this prospectus, we believe that we will satisfy the listing requirements of, and expect that our common stock we plan to issue in this offering will be listed on, Nasdaq. This listing, however, is not guaranteed. Even if the listing is approved, there can be no assurance any broker will be interested in trading our common stock issued in this offering. Therefore, it may be difficult to sell any shares of common stock you purchase in this offering if you desire or need to sell them. Our lead underwriter, Lake Street Capital Markets, is not obligated to make a market in our common stock, and even after making a market, can discontinue market making at any time without notice. Neither we nor the underwriter can provide any assurance that an active and liquid trading market in our common stock will develop or, if developed, that the market will continue.

This prospectus contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws, which statements involve substantial risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this prospectus regarding our strategy, future events, future operations, future financial position, future revenue, projected costs, prospects, plans, objectives of management and expected market growth, among others, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “predict,” “project,” “would,” “will,” “should,” “could,” “objective,” “target,” “ongoing,” “contemplate,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements about:

These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including those described in “Risk Factors.” Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this prospectus may not occur and actual results may differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, levels of activity, performance or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. Moreover, except as required by law, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of the forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this prospectus to conform these statements to actual results or to changes in our expectations.

You should read this prospectus and the documents that we reference in this prospectus and have filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part with the understanding that our actual future results, levels of activity, performance and events and circumstances may be materially different from what we expect.

We estimate that the net proceeds from our issuance and sale of shares of our common stock in this offering will be approximately $ million, assuming an initial public offering price of $ per share of common stock, which is the midpoint of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. If the underwriter exercises its option to purchase additional shares in full, we estimate that the net proceeds from this offering will be approximately $ million, after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

A $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed initial public offering price of $ per share of common stock would increase or decrease the net proceeds from this offering by approximately $ million, assuming that the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions. Similarly, each increase or decrease of $1.0 million in the amount of securities offered by us would increase or decrease the net proceeds that we receive from this offering by approximately $ million, assuming the assumed initial public offering price remains the same and after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions.

We currently intend to use up to $ of the net proceeds of this offering for the repayment of the portion of our Senior Secured Notes (including interest thereon) that are not converted into shares of common stock at the closing of this offering and the remaining $ of the net proceeds from this offering for new product research and development, existing product development and commercialization, the development of international markets and to fund our growth and to fund other general corporate purposes. In the event some or all of the holders of our Senior Secured Notes elect to convert the Senior Secured Notes into shares of our common stock at the closing of this offering, we will have additional amounts to fund our growth and for general corporate purposes. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum and to the extent any holder of the Notes elects not to convert the principal and accrued interest amounts under the Notes into shares of our common stock at the closing of this offering, the Notes will mature and become due and owing on April 30, 2023. As of the date of this prospectus, we cannot specify with certainty all of the particular uses of the net proceeds that we will receive from this offering. Accordingly, we will have broad discretion in the application of these proceeds. Pending our use of the net proceeds from this offering, we intend to invest the net proceeds in a variety of capital preservation investments, including short-term, investment-grade, interest-bearing instruments, certificates of deposit and direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of Our Common Stock—Our management has broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and may not use the net proceeds effectively” for additional information.

We have never declared or paid cash dividends on our capital stock. Neither SONDORS Electric Bike Company nor SONDORS Electric Car Company has ever declared or paid cash dividends on their respective company’s capital stock. We currently intend to retain all available funds and future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business and to repay indebtedness. Therefore, we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future. Any future determination to pay dividends will be at the discretion of our board of directors, and will depend upon our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements and other factors including contractual obligations that our board of directors deems relevant and any limits in the payment of dividends that may be imposed upon us under any credit facility or other agreement we may have with a third party that restricts out ability to pay dividends.

The following table sets forth our cash and cash equivalents, and our capitalization as of June 30, 2022:

The following table assumes no exercise of the underwriter’s option to purchase up to an additional shares of common stock. The pro forma information below is only for illustrative purposes and our capitalization following the completion of this offering will be adjusted based on the actual initial public offering price and other terms of this offering determined at pricing. You should read this table in conjunction with “Use of Proceeds” set forth above, “Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Financial Statements” set forth below, as well as our “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and combined financial statements and the related notes of SONDORS Electric Bike Company and SONDORS Electric Car Company appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

If you purchase shares of common stock in this offering, your interest will be diluted immediately to the extent that the initial public offering price per share of our common stock exceeds the as adjusted net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately following the completion of this offering.

Our pro forma net tangible book value as of June 30, 2022 was approximately $(2.9) million, or $(0.23) per share. Pro forma net tangible book value per share represents our total stockholders’ equity divided by the number of shares of common stock outstanding as of , 2022.

Dilution in pro forma net tangible book value per share of common stock to new investors represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers in this offering and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share of common stock immediately after completion of this offering. After giving effect to our sale of shares of common stock in this offering at the assumed initial public offering price of $ per share, which is the midpoint of the range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, and after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, our as adjusted net tangible book value as of June 30, 2022 would have been $ million, or $ per share. This represents an immediate increase in net tangible book value of $ per share to existing stockholders and an immediate dilution of $ per share to new investors purchasing shares of our common stock in this offering, as illustrated in the following table:

If the underwriter exercises its option to purchase additional shares in full, the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after giving effect to the offering would be $ per share. This represents an increase in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of $ per share to existing stockholders and dilution in pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value of $ per share to investors purchasing shares in this offering.

A $1.00 increase or decrease in the assumed initial public offering price of $ , the mid-point of the price range set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, would increase or decrease, as applicable, our pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value after this offering by $ million and the pro forma as adjusted net tangible book value per share after this offering by $ per share and would increase (decrease) the dilution per share to investors purchasing shares in this offering by $ per share, assuming the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same. The information discussed above is illustrative only and may change based on the actual initial public offering price and other terms of the offering determined at pricing.

The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements have been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Corporate Reorganization on the combined financial statements of SONDORS Electric Bike Company and SONDORS Electric Car Company. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 and the six months ended June 30, 2022 gives effect to the Corporate Reorganization as if the Corporate Reorganization occurred on January 1, 2021 and January 1, 2022, respectively. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed balance sheet as of June 30, 2022 gives effect to the Corporate Reorganization as if the Corporate Reorganization had occurred on June 30, 2022, our latest balance sheet date.

These unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements are for informational purposes only. We have based the pro forma adjustments upon available information and certain assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. We describe in greater detail the assumptions underlying the pro forma adjustments in the accompanying notes, which you should read in conjunction with these unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses.” The historical information of SONDORS Electric Bike Company and SONDORS Electric Car Company is presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

(b) Reflects the elimination of the noncontrolling interest of retained earnings in the amount of $(0.1) million.

(d) Reflects additional shares issued in exchange for the contributed shares of the controlling party of SONDORS Electric Bike Company and SONDORS Electric Car Company.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations and financial condition for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 should be read in conjunction with our combined financial statements and the related notes and the other financial information that are included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion includes forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties, such as our plans, objectives, expectations, estimates, beliefs and intentions. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements below. Factors that could cause or contribute to those differences in our actual results include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and those discussed elsewhere within this prospectus, particularly in the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and the Item entitled “Risk Factors.”

We intend to leverage our premier position within the e-mobility vertical to bring future products to market, and are designing electric ATVs, dirt bikes and additional e-mobility products. These planned product offerings are in the design and prototyping phase at our California-based engineering facility and are being designed with a focus on our core tenets of industry leading style, exceptional performance and affordability. We believe this practical design approach, which utilizes universal product parts across varying models, is critical to expanding the addressable market for our products as we promote consistent experiences across our entire suite of product offerings while offering consumers attractively priced, premium EVs.

Our operating results depend on a number of factors, including those discussed below and in the “Risk Factors” section of this prospectus beginning on page 12.

We believe that our SONDORS brand is one of the reasons our customers choose our products, and therefore our brand is integral to the growth of our business and our ability to engage with new and existing customers. As a result, our continued success is dependent on our ability to preserve our reputation, attract new customers and encourage consumer spending across our product portfolio. Beyond preserving the integrity of our brand, our performance will depend on our ability to augment our reach and increase the customer awareness of our SONDORS brand and our product portfolio.

We devote significant resources to product development and design, with every SONDORS product designed to fit into a larger product ecosystem. We believe our approach to product development and our commitment to continuously develop new and innovative products for consumers has enabled us to develop a broader portfolio than many of our competitors and attract new potential customers.

We have had success with the design, development and initial sale of our products, but as new products and assemblies are developed and manufactured, such products and assemblies could be more susceptible to production scaling and delivery timeline difficulties. Moreover, many of our competitors have made significant investments in product development and production equipment. To remain competitive, we must continuously increase product performance, develop new and aesthetically pleasing designs, reduce costs and develop improved ways to serve our customers. At the same time, there is a risk that our new products will not be commercially successful and we may expend substantial resources developing and researching new products that do not achieve expected sales levels.

In addition, in order to sell additional products to new and existing customers, we will require substantial additional capital to develop our products and services, ramp up production and support expansion. We expect that both our capital and operating expenditures will increase significantly in connection with our ongoing activities, as we continue to invest in our designs and technology, research and development efforts, obtain, maintain and improve our operational, financial and management information systems and hire additional personnel.

We have a well-established supply chain network in the People’s Republic of China which enables us to maintain attractive production and assembly costs. Our contract manufacturing and assembly approach supports rapid innovation due to our established relationships with experienced third-party manufacturers and assemblers that are able to adapt quickly to design and process changes that we request, enabling us to quickly pivot as consumer preferences shift and to deliver e-mobility products to market on a timely basis. However, because our manufacturing and assembly is performed in whole or in part by outsourcing partners located in the People’s Republic of China, we are subject to a number of risks, including diminished control over production and assembly of our products and the uncertainty of future tariffs, trade sanctions, embargoes and shipping costs.

Our supply chain also exposes us to multiple potential sources of delivery failure or component shortages. Unexpected changes in business conditions, costs of materials, including inflation of raw material costs, the current inflationary environment in the United States, trade and shipping disruptions, increased freight charges, port congestions, shortages and fluctuating costs of ocean shipping containers and other factors could affect our suppliers’ ability to deliver these and other critical components to us. For example, during 2021 we experienced a significant increase in the cost of ocean shipping containers which affected our margins and, although our shipping container costs have decreased in 2022, there can be no assurance that future increases will not substantially harm our operating results. Although increases in costs to our components historically have not had a material effect on our business, increases in the future may materially affect our operating results. The unavailability of any component or supplier could result in production delays, product design changes and loss of access to important technology and tools for producing and supporting our products, as well as impact our capacity for expansion and our ability to fulfill our obligations under customer contracts.

Moreover, our ability to achieve cost-savings and production-efficiency objectives could be negatively impacted by a variety of factors including, among other things, lower-than-expected facility utilization rates with our manufacturing partners, manufacturing and production cost overruns, increased purchased material costs, and unexpected supply chain quality issues or interruptions. If we are unable to achieve our goals, we may not be able to reduce prices enough to accelerate commercial penetration in our markets, and our cost of goods sold and operating costs could be greater than anticipated, which would negatively impact gross margin and profitability.

The EV market is in its infancy, and we expect it will become more competitive in the future. Existing competitors may expand their product offerings and sales strategies, and new competitors may enter the market. Furthermore, we may be unable to keep up with changes in EV technology and, as a result, our competitiveness may suffer. If our market share does not grow due to increased competition, or the market fails to expand as we have projected, our revenue and ability to generate profits in the future may be impacted.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, the ultimate extent of the impact on our businesses, operating results, cash flows, liquidity and financial condition will be primarily driven by the severity and duration of the pandemic, the pandemic’s impact on the U.S. and global economies and the timing, scope and effectiveness of federal, state and local governmental responses to the pandemic.

Moreover, if significant portions of our workforce or contractors and service providers are unable to work effectively, including due to illness, quarantines, social distancing, government actions or other restrictions in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, our operations could be impacted. In the current circumstances, given the dynamic nature of the situation and limited visibility on certain supply chain components, any impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the future continues to be difficult to estimate and predict, as it depends on future events that are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with accuracy, including, but not limited to, the duration and continued spread of the outbreak, its severity, potential additional waves of infection, the emergence of more virulent or more dangerous strains of the virus, the actions taken to mitigate the virus or its impact, the development, distribution, efficacy and acceptance of vaccines worldwide, how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating conditions can resume, the broader impact that the pandemic is having on the economy and our industry and specific implications the pandemic may have on our suppliers and on global logistics.

Six Months Ended June 30 2022 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

The following is a comparison of the results of our operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021:

Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $9.8 million, compared to $8.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 an increase of $1.6 million or 19% driven by increased demand for our products.

Total cost of revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $7.1 million, compared to $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 an increase of $1.5 million or 26%. The increase in cost of revenue is primarily attributed to an increase in units sold.

Total gross profit for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $2.7 million, compared to $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of $0.2 million or 4%. The increase is attributed to additional product revenue offset by lower shipping revenue of ($0.3) million.

Research and development expenses were $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021. The slight decrease in research and development expenses is attributed to lower research and development expenses related to the electric car.

Selling and marketing expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were $1.0 million, as compared to $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of $0.5 million or 33%. The decrease in selling and marketing expenses is primarily attributed to lower marketing expenses of ($0.5) million, lower credit card fees of ($0.2) million, offset by increased sales commissions of $0.3 million. No revenue has been recognized related to the Metacycle as we began shipping in the third quarter of 2022.

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were $3.6 million, as compared to $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 an increase of $2.2 million or 192%. The increase is primarily attributable to non-cash stock compensation expense of $1.0 million, increased professional services and audit costs of $0.5 million to support growth and preparation for an initial public offering, increased legal expenses of $0.3 million, and increased costs attributed to the Metacycle of $0.1 million.

Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2021 Compared to Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2020

The following is a comparison of the results of our operations for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $16.5 million, compared to $12.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $4.5 million or 37%. The increase is attributed to increased demand for our products and our new relationship with Costco.

Total cost of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $13.0 million, compared to $7.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $5.4 million or 71%. The increase in cost of revenue is primarily attributed to an increase in product cost of $3.4 million attributed to a 26% increase in units sold plus an increase in shipping costs of $2.0 million attributed to the increase in units sold plus inflationary sea freight costs.

Total gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $3.5 million, compared to $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, a decrease of $0.9 million or 21%. The decrease in gross profit is primarily attributed to increased sea freight costs offset by increased product margins.

Research and development expenses were $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2021, as compared to $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020. The slight decrease in research and development is attributed to less development dollars spent on the electric car.

Selling and marketing expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $3.2 million, as compared to $2.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $1.1 million or 48%. The increase in spending is primarily attributed to credit card fees and marketing of the Metacycle totaling $0.8 million plus increased costs to support growth. No revenue has been recognized related to the Metacycle as first shipments are scheduled for the third quarter of 2022.

General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 were $4.8 million, as compared to $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, an increase of $2.4 million or 96%. The increase is primarily attributable to legal expenses of $1.1 million that includes a settlement of a lawsuit, stock compensation expense of $0.8 million, increased insurance cost of $0.2 million, increased software costs of $0.1 million, increased costs attributed to the Metacycle of $0.1 million, and increased depreciation of $0.1 million.

As described elsewhere in this prospectus, we believe that without the net proceeds from this offering our current capital resources are not sufficient to meet our obligations and fund operations through at least the next 12 months. We will be required to raise additional capital to meet our operating and settlement obligations coming due. We cannot be certain that additional funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that impact our ability to conduct business. Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if we are unable to continue as a going concern.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had an accumulated deficit of $7.9 million and $5.9 million, respectively. We incurred net losses of $2.0 million and $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, respectively, and net losses of $4.9 million and $0.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and an increase in supplier deposits for the foreseeable future as our business expands. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had cash of $5.2 million and $8.6 million, respectively.

Our financial statements as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 have been prepared under the assumption that we will continue as a going concern for the next 12 months, which contemplates the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. Our independent registered public accounting firm has issued a report that includes an explanatory paragraph expressing substantial doubt in our ability to continue as a going concern without additional capital becoming available.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had cash of $5.2 million and $8.6 million, respectively. We estimate our inventory deposits and operating expenses for the next twelve months may continue to exceed any revenue we generate, and we may need to raise capital through either debt or equity offerings to continue operations. Due to market conditions and the early stage of our operations, there is considerable risk that we will not be able to raise such financings at all, or on terms that are not dilutive to our existing stockholders. We can offer no assurance that we will be able to raise such funds. If we are unable to raise the funds we require for all of our planned operations, we may be forced to reallocate funds from other planned uses and may suffer a significant negative effect on our business plan and operations, including our ability to develop new products and continue our current operations. As a result, our business may suffer, and we may be forced to reduce or discontinue operations.

The following is a summary of our cash flows from operating, investing, and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, our cash flows used in operating activities amounted to ($2.7) million, compared to cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 of $4.9 million. The change is attributed to fewer customer deposits primarily attributed to our Metacycle of ($7.0) million as we cut-off taking new orders until we began shipping in the third quarter of 2022, an increase in inventory of ($2.0) to meet increased demand, an increased operating loss, all offset by a change in pre-paid expenses of $2.3 million

For the year ended December 31, 2021, our cash provided by operating activities amounted to $5.2 million, compared to cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 of $1.7 million. The change is attributed to additional customers deposits primarily attributed to our Metacycle of $13.8 million that will begin shipping in the third quarter of 2022, offset by additional pre-paid expenses of ($6.2) million primarily attributed to inventory deposits, plus an increased operating loss of ($4.1) million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, our cash flows used by investing activities amounted to $0.5 million, which was primarily attributed to capitalized tooling and molds of $0.4 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, our cash flows used by investing activities were $0.4 million, which was primarily attributed to capitalized tooling and molds of $0.3 million.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, our cash used by investing activities amounted to $0.8 million, which was primarily attributed to capitalized tooling and molds of $0.8 million. For the year ended December 31, 2020, our cash flows used from investing activities were $0.3 million, which was primarily attributed to capitalized tooling and molds of $0.3 million.

Our cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2022 amounted to $0.1 million, which represented $0.1 million of deferred offering costs.

Our cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 amounted to $0.005 million, which represented $0.005 million of proceeds from the issuance of shares of our common stock. Our cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2020 amounted to $1.5 million, which represented $1.3 million of net proceeds from the issuance of shares of our common stock and $0.15 million of proceeds from a U.S. Small Business Administration, or the SBA, loan.

On May 15, 2020, we executed an unsecured loan with the SBA under the Economic Injury Disaster Loan program in the amount of $150,000. The loan is secured by all of our tangible and intangible assets and payable over 30 years at an interest rate of 3.75% per annum. Installment payments, including principal and interest, begin on May 15, 2022.

As part of the loan, we also received an advance of $10,000 from the SBA. While the SBA refers to this program as an advance, it was written into law as a grant. This means that the amount given through this program does not need to be repaid. As a result, we accounted for this $10,000 as part of “Other Income” in fiscal 2020.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded total interest expense of $3,000 pursuant to the terms of the notes.

We believe that the net proceeds from this offering, together with our existing cash, including the cash net proceeds from the offering of our Senior Secured Notes and Note Warrants, will enable us to fund our operating expenses and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months. We currently intend to use up to $ of the net proceeds of this offering for the repayment of the portion of our Senior Secured Notes (including interest thereon) that are not converted into shares of common stock at the closing of this offering and the remaining $ of the net proceeds from this offering for new product research and development, existing product development and commercialization, the development of international markets and to fund our growth and to fund other general corporate purposes.

We have based our estimates on assumptions that may prove to be wrong, and we may use our available capital resources sooner than we currently expect. Until such time, if ever, as we can generate significant positive operating cash flows, we may finance our cash needs through a combination of equity offerings or debt financings. To the extent that we raise additional capital through the sale of equity or convertible debt securities, the ownership interests of our common stockholders will be diluted, and the terms of these securities may include liquidation or other preferences that adversely affect the rights of our common stockholders. Debt financing, if available, may involve agreements that include covenants limiting or restricting our ability to take specific actions, such as incurring additional debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends.

Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which require that we make certain assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net revenue and expenses during each reporting period.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Significant estimates include assumptions made for inventory valuation, assumptions used in valuing share-based compensation, and accruals for potential liabilities. Amounts could materially change in the future.

We issue stock options and warrants, shares of common stock and restricted stock units as share-based compensation to employees and non-employees. We account for our share-based compensation in accordance with the FASB ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as expense over the requisite service period. The fair value of restricted stock units is determined based the grant date fair value of SONDORS Electric Bike Company and SONDORS Electric Car Company common stock determined by our board of directors with the assistance of management and an independent third-party valuation specialist. The grant date fair value was determined using valuation methodologies which utilize certain assumptions, including revenue multiples, guideline companies, an assumption for a discount for lack of marketability (Level 3 inputs). The estimated fair value is recognized as expense over the service period. Recognition of compensation expense for non-employees is in the same period and manner as if we had paid cash for services.

We value inventory at the lower of cost or net realizable value, or LCNRV, with cost determined using the weighted-average cost method. We review our inventory levels in order to identify slow-moving merchandise and broken assortments (items no longer in stock in a sufficient range of sizes or colors), and we primarily use promotions and markdowns to clear merchandise. We would record an adjustment to inventory if future estimated selling price is less than cost. Our LCNRV adjustment calculation requires management to make assumptions to estimate the selling price and amount of slow-moving merchandise and broken assortments subject to markdowns, which is dependent upon factors such as historical trends with similar merchandise, inventory aging, forecasted consumer demand, and the promotional environment.

We do not believe there is a reasonable likelihood that there will be a material change in the future estimates or assumptions we use to calculate our LCNRV. However, if estimates regarding consumer demand are inaccurate, or if economic conditions including delayed shipments and other supply chain challenges worsen beyond what is currently estimated by management, our operating results could be affected.

We and certain of our subsidiaries are subject to numerous contingencies arising in the ordinary course of business, including tax, legal contingencies and guarantees and indemnifications.

For a summary of our recent accounting policies, please refer to Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and Supplemental Disclosures, of the Notes to Financial Statements commencing on page F-7 of this prospectus for management’s discussion as to the impact of recent accounting pronouncements.

As a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Item 10 of Regulation S-K, we are not required to provide this information.

In 2015, we released our first e-bike, the SONDORS X. The SONDORS X was sold directly to consumers, with each e-bike customized to a customer’s particular demands. Since the introduction of our SONDORS X, we have introduced new e-bike models every year.

We have grown from offering a single product in 2015 to providing a full suite of e-mobility products today, with sales spanning 72 countries. We owe much of our success to our founder, president and Chief Executive Office, Storm Sondors, who is a highly skilled design and manufacturing specialist. What distinguishes Mr. Sonders from others executive leaders in our industry is his exceptionally high level of design and manufacturing expertise coupled with a keen sense of what consumers want in their products today. His philosophy is simple, “If it isn’t relevant, people will switch the channel.”

We operate within the e-bike and e-motorcycle markets in the U.S. and internationally.

In addition, according to Modor Intelligence, the North American e-bike market was valued at $800 million in 2021 and is expected to grow at a 12.5% CAGR to reach $1.62 billion by 2027.

We continually work to identify new opportunities and trends for products in our markets. We begin by analyzing how consumers lives are evolving and transitioning, and how a potential new product design could best match their lifestyle. Early on in the design process, emphasis is placed on rapid disqualification of design and engineering concepts which do not meet our standards. This allows us to explore new markets with minimal investment. Once an opportunity for a new product is identified, a product director is appointed to serve as the internal lead for the project. The product director is charged with the responsibility of becoming an expert in all subject matters critical to the new product’s success and is supported by our administrative and financial teams.

Product directors then leverage our extensive network of contract designers, engineers, and manufacturers to bring concepts to reality rapidly and efficiently. We recruit subject matter experts in emerging markets and leverage economical contract labor for product development and engineering. Historically, we have often been first to market with new product concepts and innovative designs.

Every SONDORS product is designed to fit into a larger product ecosystem. Consistency in aesthetics and user experience/interface across a wide product line allows us to build brand recognition and consumer loyalty, which we expect will be further reinforced by integration with our SONDORS app. The SONDORS app is expected to provide real-time, face-to-face video support and on-demand, at-home servicing. Additionally, our focus on modular design simplifies the logistics of the repair and warranty process by allowing the exchange of entire subassemblies rather than specific components. This allows our customers to resume enjoying their SONDORS product with minimal delay. We believe our product ecosystem enables us to provide our customers with a superior brand and product experience while also minimizing our customer acquisition costs, which provides a foundation for stable long-term product growth.

With this overall approach, we believe that we are capable of operating across product categories like a traditional conglomerate, but without the administrative complications and expense of a fully internalized product development organization. Driven by a commitment to continuously develop new and innovative products for the masses, and employing an efficient internal organizational structure and product development strategy, we believe that we can remain nimble within our consumer product markets as we adapt to the changing demands and preferences of the modern consumer.

We believe our approach to product development and manufacturing has enabled us to develop a broader product portfolio than many of our competitors and to attract an expanding group of potential customers on a global scale. We believe our broad product portfolio is a key reason why much of our expanding customer base is comprised of individuals who had long ago abandoned bicycles as a means of transportation or exercise, but who have now been brought back into the fold.

We believe our e-bikes are distinguished from our competitors’ offerings due to their innovative design, superior functionality and competitive price points. We offer e-bikes with a range of specifications that are designed for different experiences, with motors ranging from 350 watts to 750 watts, top speeds ranging from 20 miles per hour to 28 miles per hour and estimated battery ranges from 25 to 60 miles with pedal assist, depending upon rider and towing weight, riding style, wind speed and terrain.

Our SONDORS X and SONDORS XS models are wide tire all-terrain, all-weather vehicles offering enhanced torque, towing capacity and hill-climbing power. Our entry level e-bike, the SONDORS Smart Step, features a lightweight, step-through folding frame design that is optimized for convenience and easy riding. Our mountain bikes, the SONDORS MXS and SONDORS Rockstar, provide riders with a combination of power, durability and control engineered to help riders navigate difficult mountain climbs and descents.

Our mid-drive e-bikes, the SONDORS LX, SONDORS Rockstar and SONDORS Cruiser, are equipped with our mid-drive system that contains 750 watts of continuous power and an integrated 25 amp controller. With the mid-drive motor, pedaling and handling is engineered to feel like a non-motorized bike and includes pedal assist sensors that allow riders to choose the level of motor assistance they would like while pedaling. Alternatively, riders can use the throttle to engage the motor.

Set forth below is a selection of some of our e-bikes that are currently available:

Our Mad Mods e-bike offerings are optimized for speed, handling and individualized styling, designed with interchangeable parts and accessories that give riders the ability to customize around our different style kits, which we’ve named, the Cafe, Retro and Scrambler. Seats, bars, headlights and tires are compatible across the Mad Mods lineup, which allow riders to interchange parts from different style kits to create their own unique e-bike.

Our new e-motorcycle, the Metacycle, was designed to address an opportunity that we believe exists between the e-bike and the e-motorcycle market, as most highway capable e-motorcycles can only be purchased at high price points, and more affordable scooters are not highway-capable. The Metacycle is a more affordable, highway-capable machine that can be produced at scale, all while incorporating the innovative, functional design which encompasses the SONDORS brand. The Metacycle features a design that is unique to the e-motorcycle market and which we believe will set the standard for transitioning the e-bike market to the e-motorcycle design going forward, with an uncomplicated, elegant style and a superior, easy and fun riding experience, especially when compared to existing internal combustion engine motorcycles. The lightweight, weld-free aluminum frame of the Metacycle delivers optimal handling without the complication of the manual transmission that is typically installed on traditional internal combustion engine motorcycles. We believe the Metacycle’s ease of operation, combined with its advanced styling features and all electric nature, will expand the potential addressable market for riders who have never considered motorcycle ownership previously. The Metacycle’s price point is significantly more affordable than other leading e-motorcycle models such as Harley-Davidson’s LiveWire ONE and Energica’s Eva Ribelle, without sacrificing premium quality and functional style. We anticipate that the Metacycle will drive significant revenue growth for SONDORS over the next several years. We currently have pre-orders for over 11,000 units of the Metacycle, representing approximately $60.0 million in potential revenues once such pre-orders are paid in full. We began delivering our Metacycles to customers in August 2022.

The development of the Metacycle was completed with the sole intention of creating an electric, easy to ride vehicle, whereas we believe the other competing offerings in the market were initially designed as internal combustion engine motorcycles and later modified to be electric vehicles. The Metacycle features our cast aluminum exo-frame, which creates a sleek, narrow profile. We believe the weld-free, single-piece casting process used to create the Metacycle’s exo-frame provides for simplicity and added strength.

Our standard lithium-ion battery features just over 4,000-watt hours while delivering a long lifespan and continuous power, maximizing the trouble-free operation of the Metacycle. Each Metacycle includes a compact Level 1 charger that provides up to 15A/1.2 kW, with range of approximately 60 miles on a single charge and up to 80 miles under ideal conditions and the ability to completely charge the battery from a standard 120 volt U.S. home electrical outlet in just three hours and 45 minutes and can charge the battery up to 80% capacity in approximately two hours. We also plan to make available an optional EV Level 2 charger for use with a 240 volt electrical outlet. The Metacycle’s permanent magnet, alternating current hub electric motor can achieve a top speed of 80 mph (130 kph), with torque of 80 pound-feet nominal or 130 pound-feet peak.

We are currently in the design phase of several potential new EV products including, ATVs, dirt bikes and other e-mobility products. No assurances can be made that any of these potential future products will reach a point where they become commercially viable.

Our e-bike business is conducted by SONDORS Electric Bike Company (formerly, Sondors, Inc.) and our e-motorcycle business is conducted by SONDORS Electric Car Company. We have entered into a contribution agreement with Mr. Sondors under which Mr. Sondors contributed his shares of common stock of SONDORS Electric Bike Company and SONDORS Electric Car Company to SONDORS Inc. in exchange for shares of our common stock. As a result, SONDORS Electric Bike Company and SONDORS Electric Car Company became majority-owned subsidiaries of SONDORS Inc.

Historically, our products have been sold direct to consumers through our websites and marketed through internet ads, including Facebook ads and targeted advertising on other social media networks. We have also generated initial leads from product crowdfunding campaigns. We plan to continue to sell our products primarily through these same channels.

In 2022, we contracted with Costco to sell select SONDORS e-bike models through its warehouse stores nationwide and online on Costco.com and Costconext.com. Our current Costco offering is our foldable SONDORS Smart Step model which comes pre-packaged in a compact box, making it easy for Costco shoppers to transport it home from a Costco store.

We compete with a number of companies that offer e-bikes and e-motorcycles. These competitors include the following:

The principal competitive factors for companies in our industry include the following:

On the basis of the factors above, we believe that we compare favorably to our competitors. However, some of our actual and potential competitors have advantages over us, such as substantially greater financial, technical, and other resources, such as larger sales forces and marketing budgets, greater brand recognition, broader distribution networks and global presence, longer operating histories, more established relationships with current or potential customers and commercial partners, and more mature intellectual property portfolios. They may be able to leverage these resources to gain market share and prevent potential customers from purchasing our products. Additionally, we expect the industry to attract new entrants, who could compete with our business and introduce new offerings. As we scale and expand our business, we may enter new markets and encounter additional competition.

We currently manufacture our products using third-party contract manufacturers located in the People’s Republic of China. We provide our engineering, design, compliance and system level requirements to our contract manufacturers. We believe our contract manufacturing approach enables the rapid scalability of new product designs. Our third-party contract manufacturers also provide us with process expertise, as well as flexibility in design and process changes. This allows us to address evolving customer demand more quickly and efficiently.

We utilize component level screening for quality control. We also work with production experts to continually assess labor supply and determine if our designs are feasible for manufacturing and assembly. Our components are sourced from a number of established suppliers that have included, among others, Bafang, Samsung, Sony, Panasonic, Yadea, Mingcycle, Shimano and Michelin. We also maintain supplier redundancy in order to mitigate any component level supply chain risk.

When a customer purchases a SONDORS product, it is typically built to order. For our made-to-order products, customers can expect delivery within 90-120 days from the order date. At times, some models are available in-stock and can shipped within seven to 10 business days. Our e-bikes come fully equipped and configured, and require minimal assembly by the customer.

SONDORS products are designed with component interchangeability in mind so we can seamlessly replace components. They are also designed with aftercare service in mind, so the consumer can receive tech support at their home or local service facility, whichever they prefer.

We develop and own significant intellectual property and believe that our intellectual property is fundamental to our company.

On February 15, 2022, SONDORS Electric Bike Company entered into an Assignment agreement with Sondors Global, LLC, pursuant to which Sondors Global, LLC sold, assigned and transferred to SONDORS Electric Bike Company the full and exclusive right, title and interest in and to that certain invention entitled “Bike Battery Box” for which a United States Design Patent was issued on August 23, 2016 as Patent No. D764411.

We conduct research and development activities at our facilities located in California. Our research and development efforts are market driven and are focused on the development of new technologies and product improvements, as well as reducing costs, improving product quality and reliability.

We are currently engaged in the development of several potential new products including, ATVs, dirt bikes and other e-mobility products. In addition, a significant part of our research and development effort has focused on the development of our SONDORS app. The SONDORS app will allow the user to customize certain functions such as horn sounds, music selection, speaker volume, battery range extension, standard lighting or aftermarket LED lighting.

We are subject to a wide variety of laws and regulations in the United States and other jurisdictions.

In the United States, our e-bikes are subject to the Consumer Product Safety Act, or the CPSA. Under the CPSA, e-bikes that meet the definition of “low-speed electric bicycles” are considered consumer products and are subject to safety guidelines and standards established by the Consumer Product Safety Commission related to, among other things, brakes, handlebars, pedals, reflectors, instruction manuals and other requirements that govern bicycles more generally. The CPSA defines a “low speed electric bicycle” as a two or three wheeled vehicle with fully operable pedals, a top speed on a paved level surface when powered solely by the motor under 20 mph (when operated by a rider weighing 170 pounds), and an electric motor that produces less than 750 W (1.0 hp). Commercially manufactured e-bikes exceeding these power and speed limits are regulated by the federal Department of Transportation and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or the NHTSA, and are subject to significantly more stringent regulations related to, among other things, vehicle safety, fuel economy, emissions control and noise control. Our e-bikes fall within the definition of “low speed electric bicycles” and are therefore governed by the less stringent CPSA.

In the United States, our Metacycle is subject to the regulatory requirements of the NHTSA, including all applicable United States Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. We are also required to comply with other federal laws, including the consumer information labeling, owner’s manual requirements and other various reporting requirements, including those regarding warranty claims, death and injury reports and safety defects reports. In addition, in certain states we may be required to comply with certain licensing requirements prior to making sales of Metacyles in those states.

Moreover, our products and operations may also be subject to various environmental, health and safety regulations, including (but not limited to) those regarding land use, product safety, and waste management. For example, we are subject to environmental laws and regulations regarding the handling and disposal of hazardous substances and solid wastes, including electronic wastes and batteries. These laws regulate the generation, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of solid and hazardous waste, and may impose strict, joint and several liability for the investigation and remediation of areas where hazardous substances may have been released or disposed.

We are also subject to laws and regulations applicable to the manufacture, import, sale and service of consumer products internationally. For example, we are required to meet specific safety standards that may be materially different from U.S. requirements, which may require additional investment into our e-bikes and our Metacycle to ensure regulatory compliance. Our failure to comply with CPSA and NHTSA regulatory requirements and the applicable laws of other countries in which we sell our products could materially negatively impact our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results. In addition, we may need to comply with regulations applicable to consumer products after they enter the market, including foreign reporting requirements and recall management systems.

As of , 2022, we had 17 employees and 15 independent contractors. We engage independent contractors on an as-needed-basis to provide specific expertise in various business functions, including marketing and accounting. None of our employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement. We have had no labor-related work stoppages and believe our relationship with our employees and independent contractors is satisfactory.

Our principal offices are located in Malibu, California. We have short-term operating arrangements with four 3PL warehouses with 16,000 of combined square feet located in Commerce, California and City of Industry, California. We believe that our current facilities are sufficient to accommodate our anticipated production volumes for the next twelve months.

From time to time, we may be involved in general commercial disputes arising in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently involved in legal proceedings that could reasonably be expected to have material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition or results of our operation.

The following table sets forth the names, state of residence, ages and positions of (i) our current executive officers and directors, and (ii) our director nominees who will become directors upon the effectiveness of this offering.

(1) The director nominees are expected to transition on to our board of directors upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part.

Rande Gerber, will become a member of our board of directors upon the closing of this offering. Mr. Gerber is the founder of Casamigos Tequila. He partnered with long-time friends George Clooney and Mike Meldman to launch Casamigos Tequila, which quickly became one of the fastest-growing ultra-premium tequilas in the country. The essence of the brand, “made by friends for friends”, is reflected in the name, Casamigos or ‘house of friends”. Since its inception, Casamigos received numerous awards and accolades from tequila experts, tastemakers and influencers across the United States. Casamigos resulted in an acquisition by Diageo in 2017 for $1 billion. Mr. Gerber remains actively involved in Casamigos, where he currently serves as Chairman.

Mr. Gerber is also credited as one of the chief architects of the Miami, South Beach nightlife, opening The Whiskey on Ocean Drive in 1991. He achieved concurrent success by creating the “hotel bar” concept with The Whiskey Bars, including Whiskey Blue, Whiskey Park, The Penthouse, Midnight Rose, Stone Rose and SkyBar Los Angeles.

We believe that Mr. Gerber is qualified to serve on our board of directors due to his extensive experience and success as a product innovator underpinned by his experiences as an entrepreneur and executive.

We believe that Mr. Hertz is qualified to serve on our board of directors due to his extensive background in accounting and prior experience auditing the financial statements of numerous publicly traded companies.

(Nasdaq:ALTO) since March 2005. Mr. Jones is a co-founder of Pacific Ethanol California, Inc., or PEI California, which is one of Alto Ingredient’s predecessors, and served as Chairman of the Board of PEI California since its formation in January 2003 through March 2004, when he stepped off the board of directors of PEI California to focus on his candidacy for one of California’s U.S. Senate seats.

Since May 2002, Mr. Jones has also been the owner of Tri-J Land & Cattle, a diversified farming and cattle company in Fresno County, California. Mr. Jones has a B.A. degree in Agribusiness and Plant Sciences from California State University, Fresno.

We believe that Mr. Jones is qualified to serve on our board of directors due to his extensive experience as the Chairman of the Board of Alto Ingredients, Inc., a Nasdaq listed company.

Our executive officers are appointed by, and serve at the discretion of, our board of directors. There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.

Our board of directors currently consists of one member, Mr. Sondors. Upon the appointment of Messrs. Gerber, Hertz and Jones at the completion of this offering, our board will consist of four members with one vacancy. Our directors hold office until their successors have been elected and qualified or until the earlier of their resignation or removal.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that the authorized number of directors may be changed only by resolution of the board of directors. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws also provide that any vacancy on our board of directors, including a vacancy resulting from an expansion of our board of directors, may be filled only by vote of a majority of our directors then in office, although less than a quorum or by a sole remaining director.

We have no formal policy regarding board diversity. Our priority in selection of board members is identification of members who will further the interests of our stockholders through his or her established record of professional accomplishment, the ability to contribute positively to the collaborative culture among board members, knowledge of our business and understanding of the competitive landscape.

One of our board of directors’ important functions is the oversight of risk management. Our board of directors’ assessment of and decisions regarding risk occur in the context of and in conjunction with our board of directors’ and standing committees’ other activities. We seek to align our approach to risk-taking with our business strategy by encouraging innovation while managing our levels of risk.

Safeguarding our critical networks is vital to our business. Our board of directors oversees our efforts to address cybersecurity risk through the oversight of our senior management team. Our senior management team is responsible for a range of cybersecurity activities, including conducting threat environment and vulnerability assessments, managing cyber incidents, pursuing projects to strengthen internal cybersecurity, working closely with our privacy and legal teams, coordinating with our operations teams to evaluate the cybersecurity implications of our products and offerings, and coordinating management’s efforts to monitor, detect, and prevent cyber threats to our company. In addition, the Audit Committee annually reviews our risk profile with respect to cybersecurity matters.

In connection with this offering, we have applied to list our common stock on Nasdaq. Under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, independent directors must comprise a majority of a listed company’s board of directors within a specified period following the closing of this offering. In addition, the Nasdaq Listing Rules require that, subject to specified exceptions, each member of a listed company’s audit, compensation and nominating and governance committees be independent. Under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, a director will only qualify as an “independent director” if, in the opinion of that company’s board of directors, that person does not have a relationship that would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Audit committee members must also satisfy the independence criteria set forth in Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act. In order to be considered independent for purposes of Rule 10A-3, a member of an audit committee of a listed company may not, other than in his or her capacity as a member of the audit committee, the board of directors or any other board committee: (i) accept, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory or other compensatory fee from the listed company or any of its subsidiaries; or (ii) be an affiliated person of the listed company or any of its subsidiaries. We intend to satisfy the audit committee independence requirements of Rule 10A-3 as of the closing of this offering.

Additionally, compensation committee members must not have a relationship with us that is material to the director’s ability to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a compensation committee member. We intend to satisfy the compensation committee independence requirements as of the closing of this offering.

As of the closing of this offering, our board of directors will consist of three independent members: Messrs. Gerber, Hertz and Jones. Our current board of directors undertook a review of the composition of our board of directors and the independence of each director as of the closing of this offering. Based upon information requested from and provided by each director nominee concerning their background, employment and affiliations, including family relationships, our current board of directors has determined that Messrs. Gerber, Hertz and Jones qualify as “independent” as that term is defined by Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(a)(2). In making such determinations, our current board of directors considered the relationships that each of our director nominees has with us and all other facts and circumstances deemed relevant in determining independence, including the beneficial ownership of our capital stock by each non-employee director nominee.

After the completion of this offering, Mr. Sondors, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Secretary, will own approximately % of the voting power of our outstanding common stock. As a result, we will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Under these rules, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, a group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain Nasdaq corporate governance requirements, including requirements that:

We do not currently intend to rely on those exemptions afforded to a “controlled company;” nonetheless, we could potentially seek to rely on certain of those exemptions afforded to a “controlled company” in the future. See “Risk Factors–We are a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Although we do not currently intend to rely on the exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements afforded to a “controlled company” under the Nasdaq Listing Rules, we could potentially seek to rely on such exemptions in the future.

Our board of directors expects to establish standing committees in connection with the discharge of its responsibilities. Upon the commencement of the trading of our common stock on Nasdaq, these committees will include an audit committee, a compensation committee, a nomination committee and corporate governance committee. The composition and responsibilities of each committee are described below. Members will serve on committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by our board of directors. Each of these committees will adopt a written charter that satisfies the applicable standards of the SEC and the Nasdaq Listing Rules, which we will post on the investor relations section of our website upon the completion of this offering.

Effective at the time of this offering, the members of our audit committee will consist of Messrs. Gerber, Jones and Hertz. Mr. Hertz will be the chair of the audit committee. Mr. Hertz satisfies the heightened audit committee independence requirements under the Nasdaq Listing Rules and Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act. As a company listing on Nasdaq in connection with our initial public offering, we are permitted to phase-in our compliance with the independent audit committee member requirements set forth in the Nasdaq Listing Rules and relevant SEC rules as follows: (i) one independent member at the time of listing; (ii) a majority of independent members within 90 days of listing; and (iii) all independent members within one year of listing. We intend to add one independent director elected to our board of directors to our audit committee as soon as possible but in no event later than 90 days after our initial listing on Nasdaq and one other independent director elected to our board of directors to our audit committee no later than one year after our initial listing on Nasdaq. Accordingly, we expect that the audit committee will, subject to the phase-in provisions, comply with the applicable audit committee composition and independence requirements. We have determined that the fact that our audit committee will not be made of three independent directors upon our initial listing on Nasdaq does not materially adversely affect the ability of the audit committee to act independently and to satisfy the other requirements of the SEC and Nasdaq.

In addition, our board of directors has determined that Mr. Hertz qualifies as an audit committee financial expert, as that term is defined under SEC rules, and possesses the requisite financial sophistication, as defined under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. Our audit committee will assist our board of directors in its oversight of our accounting and financial reporting process and the audits of our financial statements. Under its charter, our audit committee will be responsible for, among other things:

Effective at the time of this offering, the members of our compensation committee will consist of Messrs. Gerber, Jones and Hertz. Mr. Gerber will be the chair of the compensation committee. Our board of directors has determined that each of Messrs. Gerber, Jones and Hertz is a non-employee director within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 under the Exchange Act and outside directors as defined by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code. Our compensation committee assists our board of directors in the discharge of its responsibilities relating to the compensation of our executive officers and directors. Our compensation committee will be responsible for, among other things:

Effective at the time of this offering, the members of our nomination committee will consist of Messrs. Gerber, Jones and Hertz. Mr. Jones will be the chair of the nomination committee. Our board of directors has determined that each member of the nomination committee meets the requirements for independence under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The nomination committee is responsible for, among other things:

Effective at the time of this offering, the members of our corporate governance committee will consist of Messrs. Gerber, Jones and Hertz. Mr. Jones will be the chair of the corporate governance committee. Our board of directors has determined that each member of the corporate governance committee meets the requirements for independence under the Nasdaq Listing Rules. The corporate governance committee is responsible for, among other things:

None of our executive officers serves, or in the past has served, as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee, or other committee serving an equivalent function, of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving as members of our board of directors or our compensation committee. None of the members of our compensation committee is or has been an officer or employee of SONDORS Inc.

Effective as the time of this offering, we have adopted a written code of business conduct and ethics that applies to our directors, officers and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, principal accounting officer or controller, or persons performing similar functions. Following this offering, a copy of the code will be made available on the investor relations section of our website, which is located at www.sondorsx.com. If we make any substantive amendments to, or grant any waivers from, the code of business conduct and ethics for any officer or director, we will disclose the nature of such amendment or waiver on our website or in a current report on Form 8-K.

Upon the closing of this offering, our nomination committee will be responsible for reviewing with the board of directors, on an annual basis, the appropriate characteristics, skills and experience required for the board of directors as a whole and its individual members. In evaluating the suitability of individual candidates (both new candidates and current members), the nomination committee, in recommending candidates for election, and the board of directors, in approving (and, in the case of vacancies, appointing) such candidates, may take into account many factors, including but not limited to the following:

Following the closing of this offering, our board of directors will evaluate each individual in the context of the board of directors as a whole, with the objective of ensuring that the board of directors, as a whole, has the necessary tools to perform its oversight function effectively in light of our business and structure.

Prior to this offering, Mr. Sondors, the sole director of SONDORS Electric Bike Company and SONDORS Electric Car Company, did not receive any compensation for his service as the sole director for both companies.

Upon completion of this offering, Mr. Hertz will receive a quarterly cash retainer of $28,750. Messrs. Gerber and Jones will not receive any cash payment in connection with their service as non-employee directors of the board. In addition, we will reimburse all of our directors for travel and other necessary business expenses incurred in the performance of director services and extend coverage to them under our directors’ and officers’ indemnity insurance policies. All directors will be eligible for equity awards as may be determined by the Compensation Committee.

We believe that how we manage our impact on the environment and climate change; how we manage our relationships with employees, suppliers, customers and the communities where we operate; and the accountability of our leadership to our stockholders are critically important to our business. We are especially committed to supporting our employees and fostering a culture of diversity and inclusion that makes our employees feel safe, empowered and engaged.

After completion of this offering, we will be engaging resources to focus on a broader Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) program across our business.

This section discusses the material components of the executive compensation program for our current executive officers, Storm Sondors, our President, Chief Executive Officer and Secretary, and Jeffrey R. Clayborne, our Chief Financial Officer. We refer to these individuals as our “named executive officers.”

Following the closing of this offering, we expect that our compensation program for our executive officers will consist of the following components:

Base salary is an important component of executive compensation because it provides executives with an assured-level of income, assists us in attracting executives and recognizes different levels of responsibility and authority among executives. The determination of base salaries is based upon the executive’s qualifications and experience, scope of responsibility and potential to achieve the goals and objectives established for the executive. Additionally, contractual provisions in executive employment agreements, past performance, internal pay equity and comparison to competitive salary practices are also considered.

The objective of our long-term incentive program is to provide a long-term retention incentive for the named executive officers and others and to align their interests directly with those of our stockholders by way of stock ownership. Under out 2022 Plan, our compensation committee will have the discretion to determine whether equity awards will be granted to named executive officers and if so, the number of shares of our common stock subject to each award.

Our compensation committee plans to determine the recipients of long-term incentive awards based upon such factors as performance, the length of continuous employment, managerial level, any prior awards and recruiting and retention demands, expectations and needs. All of our employees are eligible for awards. Our compensation committee will grant such awards by formal action, which awards are not final until a stock option agreement or restricted stock unit agreement is delivered by us and executed by both the company and the employee. There is no set schedule for our compensation committee to consider and grant awards. Our compensation committee has the discretion to make grants whenever it deems it appropriate in their best interests.

To date, there is no formal cash bonus plan for any of our named executive officers other than we have set the target bonus for Mr. Sondors at an amount equal to 100% of his base salary and a target bonus for Mr. Clayborne at an amount equal to 50% of his base compensation.

The table below presents compensation information for Storm Sonders, the President, Chief Executive Officer and Secretary of SONDORS Electric Bike Company and SONDORS Electric Car Company for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021 presented on a combined basis. For the periods presented, Mr. Sondors was the only executive officer for SONDORS Electric Bike Company and SONDORS Electric Car Company.

On July 20, 2022, we entered into at-will employment agreements with each of Messrs. Sondors and Clayborne and on August 15, 2022 we entered into an at-will employment agreement with Mr. Snyder.

The employment agreement for Mr. Sondors provides for an annual base salary of $300,000. The employment agreement for Mr. Clayborne provides for an initial annual base salary of $192,000 that will increase to $275,000 upon the effectiveness of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. The employment agreement with Mr. Snyder provides for an annual base salary of $325,000. However, in light of Mr. Snyder’s extended vacation from January 8, 2023 through February 4, 2023 that was planned prior to joining SONDORS Inc., during that period of time Mr. Snyder’s annual base salary will be reduced to $64,480.

The employment agreements provide for target bonuses of $300,000 for Mr. Sondors, $137,500 for Mr. Clayborne and $325,000 for Mr. Snyder. Mr. Clayborne’s employment agreement also provides that within 10 days after the closing of our initial public offering, we will pay Mr. Clayborne a special, one-time lump sum cash bonus equal to the greater of: (1) $32,000, less any required withholding, or (2) the difference between the base salary Mr. Clayborne received from his first day of employment through the last payroll period before the closing date of our initial public offering calculated using an annual base salary of $192,000 and the base salary Mr. Clayborne would have received from his first day of employment through the last payroll period before the closing date of our initial public offering calculated using an annual base salary of $275,000, less any required withholdings.

Under the terms of Mr. Clayborne’s and Mr. Snyder’s employment agreements, immediately upon the execution by us of an underwriting agreement with the underwriter, each of Mr. Clayborne and Mr. Snyder will be granted an incentive stock option pursuant to our 2022 Plan to purchase up to a number of shares of our common stock with a value equal to 2% of the total value of all shares of our outstanding common stock calculated after taking into account the shares of common stock issued in this offering and using the initial public offering price per share as set forth in the underwriting agreement.

The employment agreements require us to compensate the executives and provide them with certain benefits if their employment is terminated. The compensation and benefits the executives are entitled to receive upon termination of employment vary depending on whether their employment is terminated:

In the event of a termination by us without cause or a termination by the executive for good reason, the executive would be entitled to receive the following:

In the event of a termination by us of Messrs. Sondors or Clayborne upon their death or permanent disability, they would be entitled to receive the earned but unpaid portion of their base salary through the date of termination, and any equity award held by them will immediately and fully vest and become exercisable throughout the full term of such award as if they were still employed by us.

In the event of a termination by us of Messrs. Sondors, Clayborne or Snyder for cause, each would be entitled to (i) all accrued but unpaid base salary, (ii) reimbursement for reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by the executive on our behalf during the period ending on the date of termination, (iii) pay for accrued, unused vacation time to the extent payable pursuant to our vacation pay policy, and (iv) any earned but unpaid bonus prior to the date of termination.

The following table provides information concerning unexercised warrants, stock that has not vested and equity incentive plan awards for Storm Sondors, the sole named executive officer of SONDORS Electric Bike Company and SONDORS Electric Car Company, outstanding as of December 31, 2021. The information below is provide for SONDORS Electric Bike Company and SONDORS Electric Car Company on a combined basis.

On July 20, 2022, our sole director and then sole stockholder, Storm Sondors, adopted the 2022 Plan. The material terms of the 2022 Plan are summarized below.

Awards may be granted under the 2022 Plan to our officers, employees, consultants, and advisors and of any other company or other trade or business that “controls,” is “controlled by” or is “under common control” with us, including our subsidiaries, and to our non-employee directors. Incentive stock options may be granted only to our employees or employees of our subsidiaries.

The 2022 Plan will be administered by our compensation committee. The compensation committee, in its discretion, selects the individuals to whom awards may be granted, the time or times at which such awards are granted, and the terms of such awards. The compensation committee may delegate certain of its award authority to the extent permitted by applicable law.

The number of shares of our common stock authorized for issuance under the 2022 Plan is 3,500,000. The shares of our common stock issuable under the 2022 Plan will consist of authorized and unissued shares, treasury shares, or shares purchased on the open market or otherwise.

If any award is canceled, terminates, expires, or lapses for any reason prior to the issuance of shares or if shares are issued under the 2022 Plan and thereafter are forfeited, the shares subject to awards and the forfeited shares will again be available for grant under the 2022 Plan. In addition, the following items will not count against the aggregate number of shares of our common stock available for grant under the 2022 Plan:

In the case of a stock-settled SAR, only the net number of shares issued upon exercise will be counted against the pool of available shares.

If certain changes in our common stock occur by reason of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split, reverse split, combination of shares, exchange of shares, stock dividend or other distribution payable in stock, or other increase or decrease in the common stock without our receipt of consideration, or if we effect any spin-off, split-up, extraordinary cash dividend or other distribution of assets, we must equitably adjust the number and kind of securities for which awards may be made under the 2022 Plan. In addition, if we effect any spin-off, split-up, extraordinary cash dividend or other distribution of assets, we must equitably adjust the number and kind of securities subject to any outstanding awards and the exercise price of any outstanding stock options or SARs.

The 2022 Plan permits the granting of any or all of the following types of awards:

Stock Options. Stock options entitle the holder to purchase a specified number of shares of our common stock at a specified price (the exercise price), subject to the terms and conditions of the stock option grant. The compensation committee may grant either incentive stock options, which must comply with Section 422 of the Code, or nonqualified stock options. The compensation committee sets the exercise prices and terms, except that stock options must be granted with an exercise price not less than 100% of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant (excluding stock options granted in connection with assuming or substituting stock options in acquisition transactions). Unless the compensation committee determines otherwise, fair market value means, as of a given date, the closing price of our common stock. At the time of grant, the compensation committee determines the terms and conditions of stock options, including the quantity, exercise price, vesting periods, term (which cannot exceed ten years), and other conditions on exercise.

Stock Appreciation Rights (SARs). The compensation committee may grant SARs, as a right in tandem with the number of shares underlying stock options granted under the 2022 Plan or as a freestanding award. Upon exercise, each SAR entitles the holder to receive payment in our common stock or cash, or in a combination of our common stock and cash, equal to the excess of the fair market value of a share of our common stock on the date of exercise over the grant price of the SAR. The grant price of a tandem SAR is equal to the exercise price of the related stock option and the grant price for a freestanding SAR is determined by the compensation committee in accordance with the procedures described above for stock options. Exercise of a SAR issued in tandem with a stock option will reduce the number of shares underlying the related stock option to the extent of the SAR exercised. The term of a freestanding SAR cannot exceed ten years, and the term of a tandem SAR cannot exceed the term of the related stock option.

Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and Other Stock-Based Awards. The compensation committee may grant awards of restricted stock, which are shares of our common stock subject to specified restrictions, and restricted stock units, which represent the right to receive shares of our common stock in the future. These awards may be made subject to repurchase, forfeiture or vesting restrictions at the compensation committee’s discretion. The restrictions may be based on continuous service with our company or the attainment of specified performance goals, as determined by the compensation committee. Restricted stock units may be paid in stock or cash or a combination of stock and cash, as determined by the compensation committee. The compensation committee may also grant other types of equity or equity-based awards subject to the terms of the 2022 Plan and any other terms and conditions determined by the compensation committee.

Performance Awards. The compensation committee may condition the grant, exercise, vesting, or settlement of any award on such performance conditions as it may specify. We refer to these awards as “performance awards.” The compensation committee may select such business criteria or other performance measures as it may deem appropriate in establishing any performance conditions.

Without stockholder approval, the compensation committee is not authorized to (i) lower the exercise or grant price of a stock option or SAR after it is granted, except in connection with certain adjustments to our corporate or capital structure permitted by the 2022 Plan, such as stock splits, (ii) take any other action that is treated as a repricing under generally accepted accounting principles, or (iii) cancel a stock option or SAR at a time when its exercise or grant price exceeds the fair market value of the underlying stock, in exchange for cash, another stock option or SAR, restricted stock, restricted stock units, or other equity award unless the cancellation and exchange occur in connection with a change in capitalization or other similar change.

All awards granted under the 2022 Plan will be subject to clawback, cancellation, recoupment, rescission, payback, reduction, or other similar action in accordance with the terms of any company clawback or similar policy or any applicable law related to such actions, as may be in effect from time-to-time.

Awards are not transferable other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, except that in certain instances transfers may be made to or for the benefit of designated family members of the participant for no value.

Under the 2022 Plan, in the event of a change in control of our company, outstanding awards will be treated in accordance with the applicable transaction agreement. If no treatment is provided for in the transaction agreement, each award holder will be entitled to receive the same consideration that stockholders receive in the change in control for each share of stock subject to the award holder’s awards, upon the exercise, payment or transfer of the awards, but the awards will remain subject to the same terms, conditions, and performance criteria applicable to the awards before the change in control, unless otherwise determined by the compensation committee. In connection with a change in control, outstanding stock options and SARs may be cancelled in exchange for the excess of the per share consideration paid to stockholders in the transaction, minus the option or SARs exercise price.

Awards granted to non-employee directors will fully vest on an accelerated basis, and any performance goals will be deemed to be satisfied at target. For awards granted to all other service providers, except as may otherwise be provided in the applicable award agreement, vesting of awards will depend on whether the awards are assumed, converted or replaced by the resulting entity.

For awards that are not assumed, converted or replaced, the awards will become fully exercisable (as applicable) and vest upon the change in control. For performance awards, the amount vesting will be based on the greater of (i) achievement of all performance goals at the “target” level or (ii) the actual level of achievement of performance goals as of our fiscal quarter end preceding the change in control, and will be prorated based on the portion of the performance period that had been completed through the date of the change in control.

For awards that are assumed, converted or replaced by the resulting entity, no automatic vesting will occur upon the change in control. Instead, the awards, as adjusted in connection with the transaction, will continue to vest in accordance with their terms. In addition, the awards will become exercisable (as applicable) and vest if the award recipient has a separation from service within two years after the change in control by us other than for “cause” or by the award recipient for “good reason” (as defined in the applicable award agreement). For performance awards, the amount vesting will be based on the greater of (i) achievement of all performance goals at the “target” level or (ii) the actual level of achievement of performance goals as of our fiscal quarter end preceding the change in control, and will be prorated based on the portion of the performance period that had been completed through the date of the separation from service.

“Change in Control” is defined under the 2022 Plan to require consummation of the triggering transaction. In case of a business combination in the form of a merger or similar corporate transaction, the definition requires a greater than 50% change in ownership.

Unless earlier terminated by our board of directors, the 2022 Plan will terminate, and no further awards may be granted, ten years after the date on which it was approved by our then sole stockholder, or July 20, 2032. Our board of directors may amend, suspend, or terminate the 2022 Plan at any time, except that, if required by applicable law, regulation, or stock exchange rule, stockholder approval will be required for any amendment. The amendment, suspension, or termination of the 2022 Plan or the amendment of an outstanding award generally may not, without a participant’s consent, materially impair the participant’s rights under an outstanding award.

The following is a brief summary of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the 2022 Plan generally applicable to our company and to participants in the 2022 Plan who are subject to U.S. federal taxes. The summary is based on the Code, applicable Treasury Regulations and administrative and judicial interpretations, each as in effect on the date of this proxy statement, and is subject to future changes in the law, possibly with retroactive effect. The summary is general in nature and does not purport to be legal or tax advice. Furthermore, the summary does not address issues relating to any U.S. gift or estate tax consequences or the consequences of any state, local or foreign tax laws.

Nonqualified Stock Options. A participant generally will not recognize taxable income upon the grant or vesting of a nonqualified stock option with an exercise price at least equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant and no additional deferral feature. Upon the exercise of a nonqualified stock option, a participant generally will recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares underlying the stock option on the date of exercise and the exercise price of the stock option. When a participant sells the shares, the participant will have short-term or long-term capital gain or loss, as the case may be, equal to the difference between the amount the participant received from the sale and the tax basis of the shares sold. The tax basis of the shares generally will be equal to the greater of the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date or the exercise price of the stock option.

Incentive Stock Options. A participant generally will not recognize taxable income upon the grant of an incentive stock option. If a participant exercises an incentive stock option during employment or within three months after employment ends (12 months in the case of permanent and total disability), the participant will not recognize taxable income at the time of exercise for regular U.S. federal income tax purposes (although the participant generally will have taxable income for alternative minimum tax purposes at that time as if the stock option were a nonqualified stock option). If a participant sells or otherwise disposes of the shares acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option after the later of (i) one year from the date the participant exercised the option, and (ii) two years from the grant date of the stock option, the participant generally will recognize long-term capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the amount the participant received in the disposition and the exercise price of the stock option. If a participant sells or otherwise disposes of shares acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option before these holding period requirements are satisfied, the disposition will constitute a “disqualifying disposition,” and the participant generally will recognize taxable ordinary income in the year of disposition equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise over the exercise price of the stock option (or, if less, the excess of the amount realized on the disposition of the shares over the exercise price of the stock option). The balance of the participant’s gain on a disqualifying disposition, if any, will be taxed as short-term or long-term capital gain, as the case may be.

With respect to both nonqualified stock options and incentive stock options, special rules apply if a participant uses shares of common stock already held by the participant to pay the exercise price or if the shares received upon exercise of the stock option are subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture by the participant.

Stock Appreciation Rights. A participant generally will not recognize taxable income upon the grant or vesting of a SAR with a grant price at least equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant and no additional deferral feature. Upon the exercise of a SAR, a participant generally will recognize compensation taxable as ordinary income in an amount equal to the difference between the fair market value of the shares underlying the SAR on the date of exercise and the grant price of the SAR.

Restricted Stock Awards and Restricted Stock Units. A participant generally will not have taxable income upon the grant of restricted stock or restricted stock units. Instead, the participant will recognize ordinary income at the time of vesting or payout equal to the fair market value (on the vesting or payout date) of the shares or cash received minus any amount paid. For restricted stock only, a participant may instead elect to be taxed at the time of grant.

Other Stock or Cash-Based Awards. The U.S. federal income tax consequences of other stock or cash-based awards will depend upon the specific terms of each award.

Tax Consequences to Us. In the foregoing cases, we generally will be entitled to a deduction at the same time, and in the same amount, as a participant recognizes ordinary income, subject to certain limitations imposed under the Code.

Section 409A. We intend that awards granted under the 2022 Plan comply with, or otherwise be exempt from, Section 409A of the Code, but make no representation or warranty to that effect.

Tax Withholding. We are authorized to deduct or withhold from any award granted or payment due under the 2022 Plan, or require a participant to remit to us, the amount of any withholding taxes due in respect of the award or payment and to take such other action as may be necessary to satisfy all obligations for the payment of applicable withholding taxes. We are not required to issue any shares of our common stock or otherwise settle an award under the 2022 Plan until all tax withholding obligations are satisfied.

Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent to the corporation. The DGCL provides that Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. Sections 8.1, 8.2 and 8.4 of Article VIII of our bylaws provide for indemnification by us of our directors, officers, employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

Article X of our certificate of incorporation eliminates the liability of a director or stockholder for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under Delaware law. Under Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, a director shall not be exempt from liability for monetary damages for any liabilities arising (i) from any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) from acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Prior to the completion of this offering, we will enter into agreements to indemnify our directors and officers as determined by our board of directors. These agreements will provide for indemnification of related expenses including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines and settlement amounts incurred by any of these individuals in any action or proceeding. We believe that these indemnification agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as directors and officers. We also maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

The limitation of liability and indemnification provisions in our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws may discourage stockholders from bringing a lawsuit against our directors for breach of their fiduciary duty. They may also reduce the likelihood of derivative litigation against our directors and officers, even though an action, if successful, might benefit us and other stockholders. Furthermore, a stockholder’s investment may be adversely affected to the extent that we pay the costs of settlement and damage awards against directors and officers as required by these indemnification provisions.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to our directors, officers and controlling persons under the foregoing provisions of our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws, or otherwise, we have been informed that in the opinion of the SEC, this indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is therefore unenforceable.

Set forth below are summaries of related person transactions for SONDORS Inc., SONDORS Electric Bike Company and SONDORS Electric Car Company covering the periods indicated. It is our intention to ensure that all future transactions, if any, between us and related persons are approved by our audit committee or a majority of the independent and disinterested members of our board of directors (except for compensation arrangements, which are approved by our compensation committee), and are on terms no less favorable to us than those that we could obtain from unaffiliated third parties. See “Policies and Procedures for Related Person Transactions” below.

The following is a summary of transactions since January 1, 2019 to which we have been a participant, in which:

On October 27, 2021, SONDORS Electric Bike Company entered into a Trademark Assignment Agreement with Sondors Global, LLC, which has Storm Sondors as its chief executive officer and sole member, pursuant to which Sondors Global, LLC assigned to SONDORS Electric Bike Company its entire right, title and interest in and to the following trademark registrations of the United States and the marks “SONDORS” (Registration No. 4,957,029; Application No. 86/528,960) and “SONDORS E-BIKE” (Registration No. 4,689,850; Application No. 86/529,013) together with the goodwill of Sondors Global, LLC’s business symbolized by the trademarks, including any portion of its business to which the trademarks pertain. We believe the value of the trademarks assigned to SONDORS Electric Bike Company under this agreement is in excess of $120,000.

On November 9, 2021, SONDORS Electric Bike Company entered into a Trademark Assignment Agreement with Sondors Limited, which has Storm Sondors as its chief executive officer and sole stockholder, pursuant to which Sondors Limited assigned to SONDORS Electric Bike Company its entire right, title and interest in and to the following trademark registrations of the United States and the marks “ROCKSTAR” (Application No. 90/182,735), “SONDORS” (Application No. 90/172,606), “MADMODS” (Application No. 90/204,546), “DRONE DROPPER” (Application No.90/182,709), “XREEL” (Application No.90/182,689), and “METACYCLE” (Application No.88/946,586) together with the goodwill of Sondors Limited’s business symbolized by the trademarks, including any portion of its business to which the trademarks pertain. The “METACYCLE” trademark was inadvertently assigned to SONDORS Electric Bike Company and, effective as of July 20, 2022, SONDORS Electric Bike Company subsequently assigned the “METACYCLE” trademark to SONDORS Electric Car Company. We believe the value of the trademarks assigned to SONDORS Electric Bike Company under this agreement and, in the case of the “METACYCLE” trademark, subsequently assigned to SONDORS Electric Car Company, is in excess of $120,000.

On February 15, 2022, SONDORS Electric Bike Company entered into an Assignment agreement with Sondors Global, LLC, which has Storm Sondors as its chief executive officer and sole member, pursuant to which Sondors Global, LLC sold, assigned and transferred to SONDORS Electric Bike Company the full and exclusive right, title and interest in and to that certain invention entitled “Bike Battery Box” for which a United States Design Patent was issued on August 23, 2016 as Patent No. D764411. We believe the value of the patent assigned to SONDORS Electric Bike Company under this agreement is in excess of $120,000.

On February 24, 2022, SONDORS Electric Bike Company entered into an Assignment agreement with Storm Sondors pursuant to which Storm Sondors sold, assigned and transferred to SONDORS Electric Bike Company the full and exclusive right, title and interest in and to that certain invention entitled “Electric Motorcycle” for which a United States Design Patent Application was filed on January 14, 2021 as Application No. 29/766,334 and for which a United States Design Patent was issued on May 3, 2022 as Patent No. D950,422. This patent application and patent was inadvertently assigned to SONDORS Electric Bike Company and, effective as of July 20, 2022, SONDORS Electric Bike Company subsequently sold, assigned and transferred this patent application and patent to SONDORS Electric Car Company. We believe the value of the patent application and patent inadvertently assigned to SONDORS Electric Bike Company and subsequently assigned to SONDORS Electric Car Company is in excess of $120,000.

On August 16, 2021, SONDORS Electric Bike Company issued restricted stock awards to Rande Gerber and Bill Jones in connection with their agreement to act as advisors to the board of directors of SONDORS Electric Bike Company. Each award covers 100,000 shares of SONDORS Electric Bike Company common stock. In connection with the Corporate Reorganization and pursuant to the terms of the restricted stock awards, each restricted stock award was revised to provide for an award of 50,000 shares of common stock of SONDORS Inc. Each award will vest upon the earlier of (i) August 16, 2022 and (ii) the closing of the underwritten public offering of our common stock.

Our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws provide that we will indemnify our directors and officers with respect to certain liabilities, expenses and other accounts imposed upon them because of having been a director or officer, except in the case of willful misconduct or a knowing violation of criminal law. See “Description of Capital Stock–Limitation on Liability and Indemnification of Directors and Officers” on page 82 of this prospectus.

Our board of directors will adopt a written policy with respect to related person transactions, which will become effective at the time of this offering. This policy will govern the review, approval or ratification of covered related person transactions. The audit committee of our board of directors will manage this policy.

For purposes of the policy, a “related person transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which we were, are or will be a participant, and the amount involved exceeds the applicable dollar threshold set forth under Item 404 of Regulation S-K and in which any related person had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. As defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K, “related person” generally includes our directors (and director nominees), executive officers, holders of more than 5% of our voting securities, and immediate family members or affiliates of such persons.

The policy will generally provide that we may enter into a related person transaction only if:

In the event a related person transaction is not pre-approved by the audit committee and our management determines to recommend such related person transaction to the audit committee, such transaction must be reviewed by the audit committee. After review, the audit committee will approve or disapprove such transaction. If our Chief Executive Officer, in consultation with our audit committee, determines that it is not practicable or desirable for us to wait until the next audit committee meeting, the chairperson of the audit committee will possess delegated authority to act on behalf of the audit committee. The audit committee (or the chairperson of the audit committee) may approve only those related person transactions that are in, or not inconsistent with, our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders, as the audit committee (or the chairperson of the audit committee) determines in good faith. All approvals made by chairperson of the audit committee will be ratified by the full audit committee at the next regularly scheduled meeting or within 120 days from approval by chairperson.

We expect that our audit committee will determine that that the following transactions, even if the amount exceeds the applicable dollar threshold set forth under Item 404 of Regulation S-K in the aggregate, will be deemed to be pre-approved by the audit committee:

In addition, the audit committee will review the policy at least annually and recommend amendments to the policy to the board of directors from time to time.

The policy will provide that all related person transactions will be disclosed to the audit committee, and all material related person transactions will be disclosed to the board of directors. Additionally, all related person transactions requiring public disclosure will be properly disclosed, as applicable, on our various public filings.

The audit committee will review all relevant information available to it about the related person transaction. The policy will provide that the audit committee may approve or ratify the related person transaction only if the audit committee determines that, under all of the circumstances, the transaction is in, or is not inconsistent with, our best interests and the best interests of our stockholders. The policy will also provide that the audit committee may, in its sole discretion, impose such conditions as it deems appropriate on us or the related person in connection with approval of the related person transaction.

The following table sets forth information regarding beneficial ownership of our common stock as of , 2022 by:

The table is based on information provided to us by our directors, director nominees, executive officers and principal stockholders. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and generally means that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power of that security, including stock options and warrants that are exercisable within 60 days of , 2022. To our knowledge, except as indicated by footnote, and subject to community property laws where applicable, the persons named in the table below have sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of common stock shown as beneficially owned by them. Shares of common stock underlying derivative securities, if any, that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days after , 2022 are deemed to be outstanding in calculating the percentage ownership of the applicable person or group, but are not deemed to be outstanding as to any other person or group.

For purposes of computing percentage ownership after our initial public offering, we have assumed that shares of our common stock will be issued by us in our initial public offering. The table below assumes that the initial public offering price for shares of our common stock to be sold in this offering is $ per share, which is the midpoint of the range on the front cover page of this prospectus. The precise holdings of shares of our common stock by particular existing owners after the offering would differ from that presented in the table below if the actual initial public offering price per share differs from the assumed price.

Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each beneficial owner listed in the table below is c/o SONDORS Inc., 23823 Malibu Road, Suite 50 #129, Malibu, CA 90265.

The following description summarizes the most important terms of our capital stock, as they are expected to be in effect upon the consummation of this offering. We are incorporated in the State of Delaware. This summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, copies of which have been filed with the SEC as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part, and to the applicable provisions of Delaware law.

We are authorized to issue up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share, and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.0001 par value per share. As of , 2022, we had 13,156,380 shares of common stock outstanding.

Our board of directors is authorized to issue from time to time, in one or more designated series, any or all of our authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock with dividend, redemption, conversion, exchange, voting and other provisions as may be provided in that particular series. The issuance need not be approved by our common stockholders.

The rights of the holders of our common stock will be subject to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of the holders of any preferred stock that may be issued in the future. Issuance of a new series of preferred stock, while providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could have the effect of entrenching our board of directors and making it more difficult for a third party to acquire, or discourage a third party from acquiring, a majority of our outstanding voting stock.

In August and September 2022, we issued in a private placement transaction an aggregate of $3,500,000 principal amount of our Senior Secured Notes for an aggregate subscription price of $3,220,000 and with an initial conversion price equal to 80% of the initial public offering price per share of common stock in this offering.

Maturity Date. The Senior Secured Notes will mature on the earlier of (i) April 30, 2023, (ii) the closing of this offering and (iii) the date the collateral agent determines to accelerate all amounts due and owing under the Senior Secured Notes as a result of an event of default.

Interest Rate. The Senior Secured Notes bear interest at a rate of 10% per annum. All accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.

Original Issue Discount. The Senior Secured Notes were issued with an original issue discount of 8%.

Conversion. Concurrently with the closing of this offering, holders of Senior Secured Notes may voluntarily convert the principal amount and any and all accrued interest on the Senior Secured Notes into shares of our common stock at a Conversion Price equal to the initial public offering price per share of our common stock in this offering multiplied by 0.80. The Conversion Price is subject to adjustment for stock splits, combinations or similar events. In the event we do not close this offering on or before the Maturity Date, the Senior Secured Notes shall not be convertible into shares of our common stock and shall be payable only in cash.

Events of Default. The Senior Secured Notes contain a variety of events of default which are typical for transactions of this type.

Fundamental Transaction. The Senior Secured Notes contain fundamental transaction provisions similar to those contained in the Warrants.

Piggy-Back Registration Rights. Holders of our Senior Secured Notes have been afforded customary “piggy-back” registration rights which are typical for transactions of this type. These “piggy-back” registration rights will not be triggered as a result of this offering.

In connection with our issuance of the Senior Secured Notes we issued to the purchasers of the Senior Secured Notes five-year warrants, which we refer to as the Note Warrants, to purchase up to that number of shares of our common stock calculated by multiplying the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes by 0.50 and dividing the resultant amount by an amount equal to 120% of the initial public offering price per share of common stock in this offering. In connection with the private placement, we also issued to our consultant a five-year warrant, which we refer to as the Consultant Warrants, to purchase up to that number of shares of our common stock calculated by multiplying the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes by 0.50 and dividing the resultant amount by an amount equal to 120% of the initial public offering price per share of common stock in this offering. The terms of the Note Warrants and the Consultant Warrants are identical and are referred to in this prospectus as the Warrants.

Exercisability. The Warrants are exercisable from and after six months after the closing of this offering and at any time for the five-year period from the date of issuance. The Warrants will be exercisable, at the option of each holder, in whole or in part, by delivering to us a duly executed exercise notice accompanied by payment in full for the number of shares of our common stock purchased upon such exercise.

Exercise Price. The initial exercise price per-whole share of our common stock purchasable upon exercise of the warrants is calculated by multiplying the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes by 0.50 and dividing the resultant amount by an amount equal to 120% of the initial public offering price per share of common stock in this offering. The exercise price is subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of certain stock dividends and distributions, stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications, or similar events affecting our common stock and also upon any distribution of assets, including cash, stock, or other property to our stockholders.

Transferability. Subject to applicable laws, the warrants may be transferred at the option of the holders upon surrender of the warrants together with the appropriate instruments of transfer.

Exchange Listing. Our Warrants are not listed on any securities exchange or other trading system and we do not intend to apply for listing on any securities exchange or other trading system.

Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while a Warrant is outstanding, (i) we, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effect any merger or consolidation of us with or into another person, (ii) we (or any subsidiary), directly or indirectly, effects any sale, lease, license, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets in one or a series of related transactions, (iii) any, direct or indirect, purchase offer, tender offer or exchange offer (whether by us or another person) is completed pursuant to which holders of our common stock are permitted to sell, tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property and has been accepted by the holders of 50% or more of the outstanding common stock, (iv) we, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions effect any reclassification, reorganization or recapitalization of our common stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the common stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property, or (v) we, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions consummates a stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination (including, without limitation, a reorganization, recapitalization, spin-off, merger or scheme of arrangement) with another person or group of persons whereby such other person or group acquires more than 50% of the outstanding shares of our common stock (not including any shares of common stock held by the other person or other persons making or party to, or associated or affiliated with the other persons making or party to, such stock or share purchase agreement or other business combination) (each a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent exercise of a Warrant, the holder shall have the right to receive, for each share of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant that would have been issuable upon such exercise immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction, at the option of the holder, the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of us, if we are the surviving corporation, and any additional consideration (the “Alternate Consideration”) receivable as a result of such Fundamental Transaction by a holder of the number of shares of common stock for which a Warrant is exercisable immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction. For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the exercise price of a Warrant shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of common stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and we will apportion the exercise price among the Alternate Consideration in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of common stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of a Warrant following such Fundamental Transaction.

Rights as a Stockholder. Except as otherwise provided in the Warrants or by virtue of such holder’s ownership of shares of our common stock, the holder of a Warrant does not have the rights or privileges of a holder of our common stock, including any voting rights, until the holder exercises the warrant. In the event we are unable to close this offering of common stock, all Warrants will terminate.

Piggy-Back Registration Rights. Holders of our Warrants have been afforded customary “piggy-back” registration rights which are typical for transactions of this type. These “piggy-back” registration rights will not be triggered as a result of this offering.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

A number of provisions of Delaware law, our certificate of incorporation and our bylaws contain provisions that could have the effect of delaying, deferring and discouraging another party from acquiring control of us. These provisions, which are summarized below, are expected to discourage coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions are also designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of our company to first negotiate with our board of directors. We believe that the benefits of increased protection of our potential ability to negotiate with an unfriendly or unsolicited acquirer outweigh the disadvantages of discouraging a proposal to acquire our company because negotiation of these proposals could result in an improvement of their terms.

The ability to authorize undesignated preferred stock will make it possible for our board of directors to issue preferred stock with voting or other rights or preferences that could impede the success of any attempt to acquire us. These and other provisions may have the effect of deferring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in control or management of our company.

We have opted out of Section 203 of the DGCL. However, our certificate of incorporation contains provisions that are similar to Section 203. Specifically, our certificate of incorporation provides that, subject to certain exceptions, we will not be able to engage in a “business combination” with any “interested stockholder” for three years following the date that the person became an interested stockholder, unless certain requirements are met. A “business combination” includes, among other things, a merger or consolidation involving us and the “interested stockholder” or the sale of more than 10% of our assets to an “interested stockholder.” In general, an “interested stockholder” is any entity or person beneficially owning 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock and any affiliates or associates of such entity or person.

However, under our certificate of incorporation, Storm Sondors and any of his affiliates will be deemed to not be interested stockholders regardless of the percentage of our outstanding voting stock owned by them, and accordingly will not be subject to such restrictions.

Our bylaws provide that any vacancy occurring on our board of directors may be filled by a majority of directors then in office, even if less than a quorum. Our certificate of incorporation provides that directors may be removed only for cause by affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote. Furthermore, any vacancy on our board of directors, however occurring, including a vacancy resulting from an increase in the size of board, may only be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of our directors then in office even if less than a quorum. In addition, the number of directors constituting our board of directors will be permitted to be set only by a resolution adopted by our board of directors. These provisions would prevent a stockholder from increasing the size of our board of directors and then gaining control of our board of directors by filling the resulting vacancies with its own nominees. This makes it more difficult to change the composition of our board of directors but promotes continuity of management.

Our bylaws provide that only our board of directors may call a special meeting, and that stockholders may only conduct business at special meetings of stockholders that was specified in the notice of the meeting. This provision will limit the ability of a stockholder to call a special meeting of the stockholders.

Our certificate of incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if such court lacks jurisdiction, any other state or federal court located within the State of Delaware) shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or other employees to us or our stockholders, (iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation or our bylaws, or (iv) any action asserting a claim against us governed by the internal affairs doctrine. This choice of forum provision may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees.

Section 22 of the Securities Act creates concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all claims brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder and our certificate of incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the U.S. will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act. While the Delaware courts have determined that these choice of forum provisions are facially valid, a stockholder may nevertheless seek to bring a claim in a venue other than those designated in the exclusive forum provisions. In such instance, we would expect to vigorously assert the validity and enforceability of the exclusive forum provisions of our certificate of incorporation, but there can be no assurance that the provisions will be enforced by a court in those other jurisdictions.

Moreover, Section 27 of the Exchange Act creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all claims brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder and our certificate of incorporation provides that the exclusive forum provision does not apply to suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act. Accordingly, actions by our stockholders to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder must be brought in federal court.

Our certificate of incorporation contains provisions that eliminate, to the maximum extent permitted by the DGCL, the personal liability of our directors and executive officers for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors or officers. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that we must indemnify our directors and executive officers and may indemnify our employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

Sections 145(a) and 102(b)(7) of the DGCL empowers a corporation to indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent, or former director, officer, employee or agent, who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of such person’s service as a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or such person’s service, at the corporation’s request, as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding; provided that such director, officer employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation; and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, provided that such director, officer employee or agent had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.

Section 145(b) of the DGCL empowers a corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit; provided that such director, officer, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such director, officer, employee or agent shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery or the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such director, officer, employee or agent is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses that the court shall deem proper.

Prior to the completion of this offering, we will enter into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and we intend to enter into indemnification agreements with any new directors and executive officers in the future.

Prior to the completion of this offering, we will purchase and we currently intend to maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

Our bylaws provide that to be eligible to be a nominee for election to our board of directors, a person must submit a written questionnaire regarding his or her background and qualifications and must agree to other representations as set forth in our bylaws. In addition, we have adopted a director resignation policy. The director resignation policy is incorporated into our bylaws and will be incorporated in our Corporate Governance Guidelines and provides that any nominee for director in an uncontested election who receives a greater number of votes “withheld” from his or her election than votes “for” his or her election must tender his or her resignation to the board of directors for consideration in accordance with the procedures set forth in our Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will then evaluate the best interests of our company and our stockholders and will recommend to the board of directors the action to be taken with respect to the tendered resignation. Following the board of directors’ determination, we will promptly publicly disclose the board of directors’ decision of whether or not to accept the resignation and an explanation of how the decision was reached, including, if applicable, the reasons for rejecting the resignation.

There is currently no established public trading market for our common stock, and a liquid public trading market for our common stock may not develop or be sustained after this offering. We have applied to have our shares of common stock listed for trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “SODR.” No assurance can be given that such listing will be approved.

Immediately prior to this offering, there has been no established public trading market for our common stock, and a liquid public trading market for our common stock may not develop or be sustained after this offering. Future sales of significant amounts of our common stock, including shares issued under our 2022 Plan, in the public market after this offering, or the anticipation of those sales, could adversely affect the public market prices prevailing from time to time and could impair our ability to raise capital through sales of our equity securities. We have applied to have our shares of common stock listed for trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “SODR.” No assurance can be given that such listing will be approved.

Based on shares of common stock outstanding as of , 2022 and after giving effect to the issuance of the shares of our common stock offered in this offering, we will have outstanding an aggregate of shares of common stock (or shares of common stock if the underwriter exercises in full its option to purchase additional shares of our common stock). Also, upon completion of this offering, shares of our common stock will be issuable upon the exercise of outstanding options to our Chief Financial Officer, Jeffery R. Clayborne.

The shares of common stock sold by us in this offering (or shares if the underwriter exercises in full its option to purchase additional shares of our common stock) will be freely tradable without further restriction or registration under the Securities Act, except that any shares purchased by our “affiliates,” as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, or Rule 144, may generally only be sold in compliance with Rule 144, which is described below.

Of the remaining shares of common stock, shares will not be “restricted securities,” and shares will be deemed “restricted securities,” as defined in Rule 144. Restricted securities may be sold in the public market only if they qualify for an exemption from registration under Rule 144 or any other applicable exemption.

All shares of our common stock held by our “affiliates,” as that term is defined in Rule 144, generally may be sold in the public market only in compliance with Rule 144. Rule 144 defines an affiliate as any person who directly or indirectly controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the issuer, which generally includes our directors, executive officers, 10% stockholders and certain other related persons.

Under Rule 144, a person (or persons whose shares are aggregated) who is deemed to be an “affiliate” of ours would be entitled to sell within any three-month period a number of shares of our common stock that does not exceed the greater of (i) 1% of the then outstanding shares of our capital stock, or (ii) an amount equal to the average weekly trading volume of our common stock on Nasdaq during the four calendar weeks preceding such sale. Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to a six-month holding period and requirements relating to manner of sale, notice and the availability of current public information about us.

Rule 144 also provides that a person who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has for at least six months beneficially owned shares of our common stock that are restricted securities, will be entitled to freely sell such shares of our common stock without regard to the limitations described above, subject to our compliance with Exchange Act reporting obligations for at least 90 days prior to the sale, and provided that such sales comply with the current public information requirements of Rule 144. A person who is not deemed to have been an affiliate of ours at any time during the three months preceding a sale, and who has beneficially owned for at least one year shares of our common stock that are restricted securities, will be entitled to freely sell such shares of our common stock under Rule 144 without regard to the current public information requirements of Rule 144, subject to our compliance with Exchange Act reporting obligations for at least 90 days prior to the sale.

In general, under Rule 701 under the Securities Act, any of an issuer’s employees, directors, officers, consultants or advisors who purchases shares from the issuer in connection with a compensatory stock or option plan or other written agreement before the effective date of a registration statement under the Securities Act is entitled to sell such shares 90 days after the effective date of the registration statement in reliance on Rule 144, but without compliance with some of the restrictions, including the holding period restriction, contained in Rule 144.

We, all of our directors and all of our officers have agreed not to sell or otherwise transfer or dispose of any common stock for a period of 180 days from , 2022. See “Underwriting” for a description of these lock-up provisions.

We intend to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-8 covering the shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2022 Plan. That registration statement is expected to be filed and become effective as soon as practicable after the closing of this offering. Upon effectiveness, the shares of common stock covered by that registration statement will be eligible for sale in the public market, subject to the lock-up agreements and Rule 144 restrictions described above.

The following discussion is a summary of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences to Non-U.S. Holders (as defined below) of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common stock issued pursuant to this offering, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax effects. The effects of other U.S. federal tax laws, such as estate and gift tax laws, and any applicable state, local or non-U.S. tax laws are not discussed. This discussion is based on the Code, Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions, and published rulings and administrative pronouncements of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, in each case in effect as of the date hereof. These authorities may change or be subject to differing interpretations. Any such change or differing interpretation may be applied retroactively in a manner that could adversely affect a Non-U.S. Holder of our common stock. We have not sought and will not seek any rulings from the IRS regarding the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position to that discussed below regarding the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of our common stock.

This discussion is limited to Non-U.S. Holders that hold our common stock as a “capital asset” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code (generally, property held for investment). This discussion does not address all U.S. federal income tax consequences relevant to a Non- U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances, including the impact of the Medicare contribution tax on net investment income. In addition, it does not address consequences relevant to Non-U.S. Holders subject to special rules, including, without limitation:

If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds our common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will depend on the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, partnerships holding our common stock and the partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them.

THIS DISCUSSION IS FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE APPLICATION OF THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAWS TO THEIR PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE PURCHASE, OWNERSHIP AND DISPOSITION OF OUR COMMON STOCK ARISING UNDER THE U.S. FEDERAL ESTATE OR GIFT TAX LAWS OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAXING JURISDICTION OR UNDER ANY APPLICABLE INCOME TAX TREATY.

For purposes of this discussion, a “Non-U.S. Holder” is any beneficial owner of our common stock that is neither a “U.S. person” nor an entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A U.S. person is any person that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is or is treated as any of the following:

As described in the section titled “Dividend Policy,” we do not currently intend to pay any cash dividends on our capital stock in the foreseeable future. However, if we make distributions of cash or property on our common stock, such distributions will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. Amounts not treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes will constitute a return of capital and first be applied against and reduce a Non-U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in its common stock, but not below zero. Any excess will be treated as capital gain and will be treated as described below under “—Sale or Other Taxable Disposition.”

Subject to the discussions below on effectively connected income, backup withholding and the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or FATCA, dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder of our common stock will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a rate of 30% of the gross amount of the dividends (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty, provided the Non-U.S. Holder furnishes a valid IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable documentation) certifying qualification for the lower treaty rate). A Non-U.S. Holder that does not timely furnish the required documentation, but that qualifies for a reduced treaty rate, may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under any applicable income tax treaty.

If dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the U.S. (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, the Non-U.S. Holder maintains a permanent establishment or fixed base in the U.S. to which such dividends are attributable), the Non-U.S. Holder will be exempt from the U.S. federal withholding tax described above. To claim the exemption, the Non-U.S. Holder must furnish to the applicable withholding agent a valid IRS Form W-8ECI, certifying that the dividends are effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder’s conduct of a trade or business within the U.S.

Any such effectively connected dividends generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation also generally will be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on its effectively connected earnings and profits attributable to such dividends, as adjusted for certain items. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

Subject to the discussions below regarding backup withholding and FATCA, a Non-U.S. Holder will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on any gain realized upon the sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock unless:

Gain described in the first bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net income basis at the regular graduated rates. A Non-U.S. Holder that is a corporation also generally will be subject to a branch profits tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on its effectively connected earnings and profits attributable to such gain, as adjusted for certain items.

Gain described in the third bullet point above will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty), which may be offset by U.S. source capital losses of the Non-U.S. Holder (even though the individual is not considered a resident of the U.S.), provided the Non-U.S. Holder has timely filed U.S. federal income tax returns with respect to such losses.

With respect to the third bullet point above, we believe we currently are not, and do not anticipate becoming, a USRPHC. However, because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends on the fair market value of our USRPIs relative to the fair market value of our non-U.S. real property interests and our other business assets, there can be no assurance we currently are not a USRPHC or will not become one in the future. Even if we are or were to become a USRPHC, gain arising from the sale or other taxable disposition by a Non-U.S. Holder of our common stock will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax if our common stock is “regularly traded,” as defined by applicable Treasury Regulations, on an established securities market, and such Non-U.S. Holder owned, actually and constructively, 5% or less of our common stock throughout the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the sale or other taxable disposition or the Non-U.S. Holder’s holding period. If we are a USRPHC and either our common stock is not regularly traded on an established securities market or a Non-U.S. Holder holds more than 5% of our common stock, actually or constructively, during the applicable testing period, such Non-U.S. Holder will generally be taxed on any gain in the same manner as gain that is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business, except that the branch profits tax generally will not apply.

Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable income tax treaties that may provide for different rules.

Payments of dividends on our common stock will not be subject to backup withholding, provided the holder either certifies its non-U.S. status by furnishing a valid IRS Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI or otherwise establishes an exemption. However, information returns are required to be filed with the IRS in connection with any dividends on our common stock paid to the Non-U.S. Holder, regardless of whether any tax was actually withheld. In addition, proceeds of the sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock within the U.S. or conducted through certain U.S.-related brokers generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting, if the applicable withholding agent receives the certification described above or the holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Proceeds of a disposition of our common stock conducted through a non-U.S. office of a non-U.S. broker that does not have certain enumerated relationships with the U.S. generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting.

Copies of information returns that are filed with the IRS also may be made available under the provisions of an applicable treaty or agreement to the tax authorities of the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides or is established.

Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules may be allowed as a refund or a credit against a Non-U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability, provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Withholding taxes may be imposed under Sections 1471 to 1474 of the Code (commonly referred to as FATCA) on certain types of payments made to non-U.S. financial institutions and certain other non-U.S. entities. Specifically, a 30% withholding tax may be imposed on dividends on, or (subject to the proposed Treasury Regulations discussed below) gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of, our common stock paid to a “foreign financial institution” or a “non-financial foreign entity” (each as defined in the Code), unless (i) the foreign financial institution undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations, (ii) the non-financial foreign entity either certifies it does not have any “substantial United States owners” (as defined in the Code) or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial United States owner or (iii) the foreign financial institution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules. If the payee is a foreign financial institution and is subject to the diligence and reporting requirements in clause (i) above, it must enter into an agreement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury requiring, among other things, that it undertakes to identify accounts held by certain “specified United States persons” or “United States-owned foreign entities” (each as defined in the Code), annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on certain payments to non-compliant foreign financial institutions and certain other account holders. Foreign financial institutions located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the U.S. governing FATCA may be subject to different rules.

Under the applicable Treasury Regulations and administrative guidance, withholding under FATCA generally applies currently to payments of dividends on our common stock. While withholding under FATCA would have applied also to payments of gross proceeds from the sale or other disposition of our common stock on or after January 1, 2021, proposed Treasury Regulations eliminate FATCA withholding on payments of gross proceeds entirely. Taxpayers generally may rely on these proposed Treasury Regulations until final Treasury Regulations are issued.

Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the potential application of withholding under FATCA to their investment in our common stock.

The underwriter named below has agreed to buy, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement, the number of securities listed opposite its name below. The underwriter is committed to purchase and pay for all of the shares if any are purchased, other than those shares covered by the over-allotment option described below. Lake Street Capital Markets, LLC is the underwriter for the offering.

The underwriter has advised us that it proposes to offer the shares to the public at a price of $ per share. The underwriter proposes to offer the shares to certain dealers at the same price less a concession of not more than $ per share. After the offering, these figures may be changed by the underwriter.

The shares of common stock sold in this offering are expected to be ready for delivery against payment in immediately available funds on or about , 2022, subject to customary closing conditions. The underwriter may reject all or part of any order.

We have granted to the underwriter an option to purchase up to additional shares of common stock from us at the same price to the public, and with the same underwriting discount, as set forth in the table below. The underwriter may exercise this option any time during the 45-day period after the date of this prospectus, but only to cover over-allotments, if any. To the extent the underwriter exercises the option, the underwriter will become obligated, subject to certain conditions, to purchase the shares for which is exercised the option.

The table below summarizes the underwriting discounts that we will pay to the underwriter. These amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the over-allotment option. In addition to the underwriting discount, we have agreed to pay up to $200,000 of the fees and expenses of the underwriter, which may include the fees and expenses of counsel to the underwriter.

Except as disclosed in this prospectus, the underwriter has not received and will not receive from us any other item of compensation or expense in connection with this offering considered by FINRA to be underwriting compensation under FINRA Rule 5110. The underwriting discount was determined through an arms’ length negotiation between us and the underwriter.

We estimate that the total expenses of this offering, excluding underwriting discounts, will be $ . This includes $200,000 of fees and expenses of the underwriter. These expenses are payable by us.

We have agreed to, upon the closing of this offering, including upon the closing of any offering of shares of common stock sold to cover over allotments, issue to the underwriter or the underwriter’s designee(s) to purchase a number of shares of common stock equal to 4% of the total number of shares of common stock sold in this offering. The underwriter’s warrants will be exercisable at 125% of the initial public offering price to the public and may be exercised on a cashless basis. The underwriter’s warrants are exercisable at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, during the five-year period commencing with the effective date of the registration statement related to this offering.

The underwriter’s warrants and the shares of common stock underlying the underwriter’s warrants have been deemed compensation by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA, and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110(e)(1) of FINRA. The underwriter, or permitted assignees under such rule, may not sell, transfer, assign, pledge, or hypothecate the underwriter’s warrants or the securities underlying the underwriter’s warrants, nor will the underwriter engage in any hedging, short sale, derivative, put, or call transaction that would result in the effective economic disposition of the underwriter’s warrants or the underlying shares for a period of 180 days from the effective date of the registration statement. Additionally, the underwriter’s warrants may not be sold transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for a 180-day period following the effective date of the registration statement except to any underwriter and selected dealer participating in this offering and their bona fide officers or partners. The underwriter’s warrants will provide for adjustment in the number and price of the underwriter’s warrants and the shares of common stock underlying such underwriter’s warrants in the event of recapitalization, merger, stock split or other structural transaction, or a future financing undertaken by us.

Until one year from the closing of this offering, the underwriter shall have an irrevocable right of first refusal to act as lead investment banker, lead book-runner and/or lead placement agent, at the underwriter’s sole discretion, for each and every future public and private equity offerings for our company, or any successor to or any subsidiary of our company, including all equity linked financings, on terms customary to the representative and such transactions.

We also have agreed to indemnify the underwriter against certain liabilities, including civil liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or to contribute to payments that the underwriter may be required to make in respect of those liabilities.

We, each of our directors and officers and certain of our significant stockholders have agreed not to offer, sell, agree to sell, directly or indirectly, or otherwise dispose of any shares of common stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of common stock without the prior written consent of the underwriter for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus. These lock-up agreements provide limited exceptions and their restrictions may be waived at any time by the underwriter.

The underwriter has advised us that is proposes to offer the shares directly to the public at the estimated initial public offering price range set forth on the cover page of this preliminary prospectus. That price range and the initial public offering price are subject to change as a result of market conditions and other factors. Prior to this offering, no public market exists for our common stock. The initial public offering price of the shares was determined by negotiation between us and the underwriter. The principal factors considered in determining the initial public offering price of the shares included:

We cannot be sure that the initial public offering price will correspond to the price at which the shares of common stock will trade in the public market following this offering or that an active trading market for the shares of common stock will develop or continue after this offering.

To facilitate this offering, the underwriter may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our common stock during and after the offering. Specifically, the underwriter may create a short position in our common stock for its own accounts by selling more shares of common stock than we have sold to the underwriter. The underwriter may close out any short position by purchasing shares in the open market.

In addition, the underwriter may stabilize or maintain the price of our common stock by bidding for or purchasing shares in the open market and may impose penalty bids. If penalty bids are imposed, selling concessions allowed to broker-dealers participating in this offering are reclaimed if shares previously distributed in this offering are repurchased, whether in connection with stabilization transactions or otherwise. The effect of these transactions may be to stabilize or maintain the market price of our common stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. The imposition of a penalty bid may also affect the price of our common stock to the extent that it discourages resales of our common stock. The magnitude or effect of any stabilization or other transactions is uncertain. These transactions may be effected on Nasdaq or otherwise and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

In connection with this offering, the underwriter and selling group members may also engage in passive market making transactions in our common stock on Nasdaq. Passive market making consists of displaying bids on Nasdaq limited by the prices of independent market makers and effecting purchases limited by those prices in response to order flow. Rule 103 of Regulation M promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission limits the amount of net purchases that each passive market maker may make and the displayed size of each bid. Passive market making may stabilize the market price of our common stock at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market and, if commenced, may be discontinued at any time.

Neither we nor the underwriter make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our common stock. In addition, neither we nor the underwriter make any representation that the underwriter will engage in these transactions or that any transaction, if commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

The underwriter or syndicate members may facilitate the marketing of this offering online directly or through one of their respective affiliates. In those cases, prospective investors may view offering terms and a prospectus online and place orders online or through their financial advisors. Such websites and the information contained on such websites, or connected to such sites, are not incorporated into and are not a part of this prospectus.

The underwriter and its affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The underwriter has in the past, and may in the future, engage in investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with us or our affiliates. The underwriter has in the past, and may in the future, receive customary fees and commissions for these transactions.

In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the underwriter and its affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of the issuer. The underwriter and its affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to clients that it acquires, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

We have applied to list our shares of common stock on Nasdaq under the symbol “SODR”. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in listing our common stock offered hereby on Nasdaq.

The securities may be sold in Canada only to purchasers purchasing, or deemed to be purchasing, as principal that are accredited investors, as defined in National Instrument 45 106 Prospectus Exemptions or subsection 73.3(1) of the Securities Act (Ontario), and are permitted clients, as defined in National Instrument 31 103 Registration Requirements, Exemptions and Ongoing Registrant Obligations. Any resale of the securities must be made in accordance with an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the prospectus requirements of applicable securities laws.

Securities legislation in certain provinces or territories of Canada may provide a purchaser with remedies for rescission or damages if this prospectus supplement (including any amendment thereto) contains a misrepresentation, provided that the remedies for rescission or damages are exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory.

CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENTS OF CHANGES IN STOCKHOLDERS’ (DEFICIT) EQUITY

The accompanying condensed notes are an integral part of these combined financial statements

CONDENSED NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED COMBINED SONDORS ELECTRIC BIKE COMPANY AND SONDORS ELECTRIC

SONDORS Electric Bike Company and SONDORS Electric Car Company as presented in these combined unaudited financial statements is not a legal entity. These combined unaudited financial statements incorporate the financial position and operations of SONDORS Electric Car Company and SONDORS Electric Bike Company (known prior to July 20, 2022 as Sondors, Inc.) both incorporated in the State of Delaware, on August 15, 2016 and on March 15, 2017, respectively, and which may be referred to in the combined financial statement as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”. The Company’s headquarters are located in Malibu, California. Management believes that combination under the basis of common management is appropriate in the accompanying combined unaudited financial statements as both SONDORS Electric Car Company and SONDORS Electric Bike Company are under the common control and the ultimate ownership of the Chief Executive Officer, with a combined total ownership of 97.8%.

The Company designs, develops, markets and sells SONDORS-branded premium electric bikes and electric vehicles in the United States and abroad. The Company provides customer service and technical support for its electric bicycles with the intention, in certain areas, to utilize mobile technicians capable of performing most inspections and repairs for all products.

Until July 20, 2022, Mr. Sondors owned 99.52% of the outstanding common stock of SONDORS Electric Bike Company and 96.33% of the outstanding common stock of SONDORS Electric Car Company. Effective July 20, 2022, SONDORS Inc. entered into a contribution agreement with Mr. Sondors. Under the terms of the contribution agreement, Mr. Sondors contributed his shares of common stock of SONDORS Electric Bike Company to SONDORS Inc. in exchange for 6,583,335 shares of SONDORS Inc. common stock and contributed his shares of common stock of SONDORS Electric Car Company to SONDORS Inc. in exchange for 6,373,045 shares of SONDORS Inc. common stock. As a result, SONDORS Electric Bike Company and SONDORS Electric Car Company became majority-owned subsidiaries of SONDORS Inc.

As of the date of this filing, there continues to be widespread concern regarding the ongoing impacts and disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in the regions in which the Company operates. Although the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have not been material to date, a prolonged downturn in economic conditions could have a material adverse effect on our customers and demand for our services. The Company has not observed any impairments of its assets or a significant change in the fair value of its assets due to the COVID-19 pandemic. At this time, it is not possible for the Company to predict the duration or magnitude of the adverse results of the outbreak and its effects on the Company’s business or results of operations, financial condition, or liquidity.

These combined unaudited financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). These combined unaudited financial statements include the accounts of SONDORS Electric Bike Company and SONDORS Electric Car Company. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the interim combined financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement of the interim periods. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for the full year ending December 31, 2022 or for any other interim period.

The accompanying unaudited Combined Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, certain information and disclosures normally included in the notes to the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been omitted from these interim financial statements, although the Company believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. We suggest that you read these Combined Financial Statements in conjunction with the Combined Financial Statements and notes thereto included within for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Significant estimates include assumptions made for reserves of uncollectible accounts receivable, inventory reserve, determination of useful life and impairment of property, plant, and equipment, income tax valuation allowance and accruals for potential liabilities. Amounts could materially change in the future.

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for employees, consultants and members of the Board of Directors based on the fair value a t the date of grant. The fair value of the Company’s restricted stock units (“RSUs”) is based on the fair value on the grant date of the Company’s common stock. The Company also evaluates the impact of modifications made to the original terms of equity awards when they occur. The fair value of equity awards that are expected to vest is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

The Company applies an estimated annual effective tax rate (“ETR”) approach for calculating a tax provision or benefit for interim periods, as required under GAAP. The Company recorded an income tax expense of $0 and $0 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company’s ETR differs from the U.S. federal statutory tax rate of 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, primarily as a result of book to tax differences related to equity compensation, as well as the impact of changes to the valuation allowance to offset net deferred tax assets.

A valuation allowance is recorded against deferred tax assets to reduce the net carrying value when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the amount of the valuation allowance. When the Company establishes or reduces the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets, its provision for income taxes will increase or decrease, respectively, in the period such determination is made. During the period ended June 30, 2022 the valuation allowance increased $1,087,000.

Additionally, the Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit recognized in the consolidated financial statements for a particular tax position is based on the largest benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement. Accordingly, the Company continues to maintain reserves for deferred tax assets related to tax attributes that remain uncertain.

The Company monitors changes to the tax laws in the states it conducts business and files corporate income tax returns. The Company does not expect that changes to tax laws through June 30, 2022 to materially impact its condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s revenue channels are all related to sales of their e-bikes. The Company began shipping its Metacycle in August 2022. In accordance with the “Segment Reporting” Topic of the ASC, the Company’s chief operating decision maker (the Company’s Chief Executive Officer) reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Existing guidance, which is based on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report annually entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers, and reported revenue. All material operating units qualify for aggregation under “Segment Reporting” due to (i) their similar customer base and (ii) the Company having a single sales team, marketing department, customer service department, operations department, finance department, and accounting department to support all existing and future revenue channels.

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period including contingently issuable shares. Diluted earnings per share is based on the treasury stock method and includes the effect from potential issuance of ordinary shares, such as shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and the vesting of restricted stock units. Because the impact of the warrants and non-vested RSUs are anti-dilutive during periods of net loss, there was no difference between the weighted-average number of shares used to calculate basic and diluted net loss per common share for the periods presented.

Excluded from the dilutive net loss per share computation for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were non-vested RSUs of 200,000 and 0, respectively, and warrants of 7,253 and 7,253, respectively, because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Although these securities were anti-dilutive for these periods, they could be dilutive in future periods.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable. Cash is deposited with a limited number of financial institutions. The balances held at any one financial institution at times may be in excess of Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) insurance limits of up to $250,000.

The Company’s concentration of credit risk includes its concentrations from key customers and vendors.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022 the Company had one customer that accounted for 55% of its revenue and one customer for the six months ended June 30, 2021 that accounted for 16% of its revenue. For the six months ended June 30, 2022 the Company had two vendors that accounted for in aggregate 76% of its cost of revenue, one with 43% and the second with 33%. For the six months ended June 30 2021 the company had one vendor that accounted for 69% of its cost of revenue.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) which supersedes FASB ASC Topic 840, Leases (Topic 840) and provides principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. The new standard requires the lessees to classify leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee, and such classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than twelve months regardless of classification. Leases with a term of twelve months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. The Company adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2022 and as the Company currently only has month to month leases, there was no material impact on its financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Credit Losses - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASC 326”). The standard significantly changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets, including accounts and notes receivables. The standard will replace today’s “incurred loss” approach with an “expected loss” model, under which companies will recognize allowances based on expected rather than incurred losses. Entities will apply the standard’s provisions as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. The standard will be effective for us for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022. Management is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s financial statements and related disclosures.

The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant losses since its inception, primarily as the result of operations. The Company had an accumulated deficit and a loss from operations of $7.9 million and $2.0 million, respectively, as of and for the six months ended June 30, 2022. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from September 15, 2022, the date the financial statements are available to be issued. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon achieving a level of sales adequate to support the Company’s cost structure and raising significant capital. Prior to attaining this level of sales, management plans to fund its operations through a combination of additional debt and equity financing as required to fund operations until it can generate adequate cash flows from product sales. Management plans to pursue equity and debt financing as required to fund operations until it can generate adequate cash flows from operations.

There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to continue to raise additional equity or debt financing or to realize adequate revenue and cash flows from product sales. The accompanying unaudited financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company accepts cash in advance for pre orders for SONDORS products. The cash received is recorded as a current liability until the product ships, at which time revenue is recognized. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the Company had $19,442,000 and $18,378,000, respectively, of customer deposits.

Deferred offering costs, which consist of direct incremental legal, accounting, consulting, and other fees related to the Company’s planned IPO, are capitalized in other assets, non-current on the consolidated balance sheets. The deferred offering costs will be offset against IPO proceeds upon the consummation of an IPO. In the event the planned IPO is terminated, the deferred offering costs will be immediately expensed in the consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the company had deferred offering costs of $117,000 and $0.

Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts and allowance for sales returns consisted of the following as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Inventories consisted of the following as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

No write-downs or impairments of inventory have been recorded for June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectfully.

Prepaid expenses consisted of the following as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

Property and equipment consisted of the following as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the Company had $1,277,000 and $710,000 property and equipment that wasn’t in service. Depreciation expense for the six months ended 2022 and 2021 was $50,000 and $50,000, respectively.

The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their net book value may not be recoverable. When such factors and circumstances exist, the Company compares the projected undiscounted future cash flows associated with the related asset or group of assets over their estimated useful lives against their respective carrying amount. Impairment, if any, is based on the excess of the carrying amount over the fair value, based on market value when available, or discounted expected cash flows, of those assets and is recorded in the period in which the determination is made. No impairment of long-lived assets was recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021.

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities consisted of the following as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

The Company has the following outstanding note payable as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

On May 15, 2020, the Company executed an unsecured loan with the U.S. Small Business Administration (“SBA”) under the Economic Injury Disaster Loan program in the amount of $150,000. The loan is secured by all tangible and intangible assets of the Company and payable over 30 years at an interest rate of 3.75% per annum. Installment payments, including principal and interest, begin on May 15, 2022.

As part of the loan, the Company also received an advance of $10,000 from the SBA. While the SBA refers to this program as an advance, it was written into law as a grant. This means that the amount given through this program does not need to be repaid. As a result, the Company accounted for this $10,000 as part of “Other Income” in fiscal 2020.

Total interest expense for note payable was $3,000 and $3,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. In addition, the Company paid zero interest related to the note for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

The Company has authorized the issuance of 10,000,000 shares of SONDORS Electric Car Company common stock and 20,000,000 shares of SONDORS Electric Bike Company for a combined total of 30,000,000 shares of common stock authorized.

The Company has the following warrants as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are presented below:

At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 the intrinsic value for the stock warrants was $0 and $0, respectively.

The Company has the following Restricted Stock Units as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 are presented below:

The total fair value of restricted stock award that vested during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was $1,041,000 and is included as an expense in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations. As of June 30, 2022, the amount of unrecognized compensation related to issuances of restricted stock award was $306,000 which will be recognized as an expense as the shares vest in 2022.

On January 30, 2018, an action was commenced against the Company, Mr. Sondors and certain affiliates of Mr. Sondors seeking monetary damages relating to several causes of action, including breach of contract. On March 16, 2022, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release with the plaintiff with respect to the action. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, the plaintiff agreed to dismiss the action in consideration for the Company making an initial payment on March 21, 2022 to the plaintiff in the amount of $600,000 and agreeing to make a subsequent payment in the amount of $400,000 on April 17, 2023.

The Company has accrued for the $1,000,000 settlement of the above litigation matter, which is included in accrued expenses in the accompanying combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2022.

The Company has not yet filed certain sales tax returns for 2018 through 2022, as such the Company has accrued a sales tax reserve of $1,725,000. It is reasonably possible that sales tax claims may exceed the amount accrued as of June 30, 2022.

The Company knows of no material proceedings in which any of its directors, officers, or affiliates, or any registered or beneficial stockholder is a party adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or has a material interest adverse to the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

The Company believes it has adequately reserved for all litigation within its unaudited financial statements.

In August and September 2022, the Company sold in a private placement $3,500,000 principal amount of its 10% Senior Secured Original Issue Discount Convertible Notes due April 30, 2023 for an aggregate subscription price of $3,220,000 with an initial conversion price equal to 80% of the initial public offering price per share of common stock in this offering. In connection with the private placement, the Company incurred debt issuance costs of $322,000, a non-accountable expense allowance of $64,400 and issued a five-year warrant to purchase up to that number of shares of the registrant’s common stock calculated by multiplying the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes by 0.50 and dividing the resultant amount by an amount equal to 120% of the initial public offering price per share of common stock in this offering.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events that occurred after June 30, 2022 through September 15, 2022, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. There are have no other events or transactions during this time, which would have a material, effect on these financial statements.

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of SONDORS Electric Bike Company and SONDORS Electric Car Company (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related combined statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ (deficit) equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “combined financial statements”). In our opinion, the combined financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the combined financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the combined results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As disclosed in Note 3 to the financial statements, the Company has incurred recurring losses from operations and has a net working capital deficiency that raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management’s evaluation of the events and circumstances and management’s plans regarding those matters are also described in Note 3. The combined financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to that matter.

These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s combined financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the combined financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures to respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the combined financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these combined financial statements

SONDORS Electric Bike Company and SONDORS Electric Car Company as presented in these combined financial statements is not a legal entity. These combined financial statements incorporate the financial position and operations of SONDORS Electric Car Company and SONDORS Electric Bike Company (known prior to July 20, 2022 as Sondors, Inc.) both incorporated in the State of Delaware, on August 15, 2016 and on March 15, 2017, respectively, and which may be referred to in the combined financial statement as the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”. The Company’s headquarters are located in Malibu, California. Management believes that combination under the basis of common management is appropriate in the accompanying financial statements as both SONDORS Electric Car Company and SONDORS Electric Bike Company are under the common control and the ultimate ownership of the Chief Executive Officer, with a combined total ownership of 97.8%.

As of December 31, 2021, we continue to actively communicate with and listen to our customers to ensure we are responding to their needs in the current environment with innovative solutions that will not only be beneficial now but also over the long-term. We monitor developments related to COVID-19 and remain flexible in our response to the challenges presented by the pandemic. To mitigate the adverse impact COVID-19 may have on our business and operations, we implemented a number of measures in the year ended December 31, 2021, to protect the health and safety of our employees, as well as to strengthen our financial position. These efforts include eliminating, reducing, or deferring non-essential expenditures, as well as complying with local and state government recommendations to protect our workforce.

These combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“US GAAP”). These combined financial statements include the accounts of SONDORS Electric Bike Company and SONDORS Electric Car Company. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Certain amounts in the prior period financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. These reclassifications consist of reclassification between revenue, cost of revenue, selling and marketing, cash, receivables, pre-paid, and other assets. These reclassifications had no effect to the previously reported net loss.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported periods. Significant estimates include assumptions made for reserves of uncollectible accounts receivable, inventory reserve, determination of useful life and impairment of property, plant, and equipment, income tax valuation allowance and accruals for potential liabilities. Amounts could materially change in the future.

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. Applicable accounting guidance provides an established hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability and are developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors that market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability. There are three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

Level 1 - Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 - Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.

The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.

Fair-value estimates discussed herein are based upon certain market assumptions and pertinent information available to management as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. Fair values of the Company’s financial instruments were assumed to approximate carrying values because of the instruments’ short-term nature.

The Company’s business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide along with governmental policy decisions. A host of factors beyond the Company’s control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse developments may also include economic recessions, changes in electric automobile technology and infrastructure, government policy decisions and law changes, changes in consumer tastes and trends, acceptance of its products in the marketplace, and supply-chain issues caused by government policy or pandemics similar to COVID-19. Like any business, the Company faces challenges that come from early-stage branding and financing. These adverse conditions could affect the Company’s financial condition and the results of its operations.

For purpose of the statement of cash flows, the Company considers all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, the Company only had zero cash equivalents.

Accounts receivable is recorded at the invoiced amount and are non-interest bearing. We estimate losses on receivables based on expected losses, including our historical experience of actual losses. Receivables are considered uncollectible and written-off when it is probable that all contractual payments due will not be collected in accordance with the terms of the agreement. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the allowance for sales returns was $86,000 and $0, respectfully.

For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, inventories consisted of $1,827,000 and $752,000 of electric bikes, $259,000 and $166,000 of parts in stock and $1,669,000 and $477,000 of electric bikes paid for and in transit to the Company’s fulfillment center. Obsolete inventory is expensed, removed from stock and disposed. Historically, inventory assets requiring to be written off has been minimal, and the related expense has been recorded at the time deemed obsolete. Accordingly, no allowance for inventory obsolescence has been recorded for December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectfully.

The Company incurs prepaid expenses by making product deposit payments to vendors 30 to 90 days prior to the commencement of production as well as prepaid expenses for marketing and insurance. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020 the Company had prepaid inventory deposits of $6,840,000 and $551,000, respectively. Upon completion of production and payment of the remaining balance, the Company re-classes the prepaid asset to inventory. Prepaid insurance and marketing are expensed on a monthly basis. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020 prepaid insurance was $55,000 and $46,000, respectively, and expensed over a 10 month period and prepaid marketing was $0 and $41,000, respectively, and expensed over a 12 month period. Tax deposits will be expensed when the liability is incurred. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020 tax deposits were $6,000.

The Company states property and equipment at cost less accumulated depreciation. Product tooling/molds, and equipment used in production are the primary assets with depreciation computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life which is 3 years. The Company reviews these estimates on an annual basis, or more frequently if events during the year indicate that a change may be required, with consideration given to technological obsolescence and other relevant business factors. A change in management’s estimate could impact depreciation expense and the carrying value of property and equipment.

Property and equipment consisted of the following as of December 31, 2021 and 2020.

As of December 31, 2021 and 2020 the Company had $761,000 and $0 property and equipment that wasn’t in service. Depreciation expense for the years ended 2021 and 2020 was $100,000 and $14,000, respectively.

The Company accepts cash in advance for pre orders for SONDORS products. The cash received is recorded as a current liability until the product ships, at which time revenue is recognized. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020 the Company had $18,378,000 and $2,419,000, respectively, of customer deposits.

The Company accounts for offering costs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 340, Other Assets and Deferred Costs. Prior to the completion of an offering, offering costs will be capitalized as deferred offering costs on the balance sheet. The deferred offering costs will be re-classed to additional paid-in capital upon the completion of an offering or to expense if the offering is not completed. Offering costs re-classed to additional paid-in capital totaled $67,354 for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification ASC (“606”). Under ASC 606, revenue is recognized when the promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for these goods or services, taking into consideration discounts, such as those offered for early payment. Sales and other indirect taxes that are passed onto the customer are excluded from the measurement of the transaction price.

Accordingly, the Company determines revenue recognition by applying the following steps:

The Company’s revenue is provided from sales of SONDORS electric bicycles. The Company records revenue when it fulfills its performance obligation to transfer control of the goods to its customer and defers revenue when it receives payments in advance of fulfilling its performance obligations. Control of shipped items is generally transferred when the product is delivered to the common carrier. Shipping costs billed to customers are included in revenue. Taxes collected from customers related to product sales are remitted to governmental authorities and excluded from both revenue and cost of revenue. The Company markets and sells its products primarily in the United States and Canada.

The amount of revenue recognized is the consideration that the Company expects it will be entitled to receive in exchange for transferring goods to its customers. Revenue is recorded net of expected returns, discounts, and credit card chargebacks. The Company monitors returns and estimates futures returns and adjusts their return reserve on a monthly basis.

The Company expenses the cost of advertising and marketing as incurred, with the exception of promotional items. During the years ending December 31, 2021 and 2020, advertising and marketing expenses were $1,660,000, and $873,000, respectively.

The Company incurs research and development costs during the process of developing and designing their electric vehicle products. Research and developments costs consist primarily of outside services. The Company expenses these costs as incurred. During the years ending December 31, 2021 and 2020, design and development costs were $439,000 and $613,000, respectively.

The Company’s products are subject to a standard one-year warranty. Historically, warranty costs have been minimal, and the related expense has been recorded at the time the warranty service is performed. Accordingly, no warranty reserve has been recorded at December 31, 2021 and 2020.

The Company accrues for all liabilities that are probable and reasonably estimated plus invoices received after the month-end close that should be recorded in the prior period.

Accrued expenses and other current liabilities consisted of the following as of December 31, 2021 and 2020

Cost of revenue primarily consists of product costs, shipping from suppliers, customs, and customer shipping and handling expenses. Shipping and custom costs to receive products from our suppliers are included in our inventory and recognized as cost of revenue upon sale of products to our customers.

The Company recognizes stock-based compensation expense for employees, consultants and members of the Board of Directors based on the fair value at the date of grant. The fair value of the Company’s restricted stock units (“RSUs”) is based on the fair value on the grant date of the Company’s common stock. The Company also evaluates the impact of modifications made to the original terms of equity awards when they occur. The fair value of equity awards that are expected to vest is amortized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

The Company accounts for income taxes under FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes. Under the asset and liability method of ASC 740, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The deferred tax assets of the Company relate primarily to operating loss carry-forwards for federal and state income tax purposes. A full valuation allowance for deferred tax assets has been provided because the Company believes it is not more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on the Company generating sufficient taxable income in future periods.

The Company periodically evaluates its tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not that such positions would be sustained upon examination by a tax authority for all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, based on their technical merits. The Company accrues interest and penalties, if incurred, on unrecognized tax benefits as components of the income tax provision in the accompanying SONDORS Electric Car Company and SONDORS Electric Bike Company statements of operations. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company has not established a liability for uncertain tax positions.

The Company’s revenue channels are all related to sales of their e-bikes. The Company will begin shipping its Metacycle in August 2022. In accordance with the “Segment Reporting” Topic of the ASC, the Company’s chief operating decision maker (the Company’s Chief Executive Officer) reviews operating results to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing performance for the entire Company. Existing guidance, which is based on a management approach to segment reporting, establishes requirements to report selected segment information quarterly and to report annually entity-wide disclosures about products and services, major customers, and reported revenue. All material operating units qualify for aggregation under “Segment Reporting” due to (i) their similar customer base and (ii) the Company having a single sales team, marketing department, customer service department, operations department, finance department, and accounting department to support all existing and future revenue channels.

Basic net loss per share is computed by using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share is computed giving effect to all dilutive potential shares of common stock that were outstanding during the period. Dilutive potential shares of common stock consist of incremental shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants. No dilutive potential shares of common stock were included in the computation of diluted net loss per share because their impact was anti-dilutive.

As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, the Company had total outstanding warrants of 7,253 that were excluded from the computation of net loss per share because they are anti-dilutive.

The Company extends limited credit to customers based on an evaluation of their financial condition and other factors. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security to support accounts receivable. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts and sales credits. The Company believes that any concentration of credit risk in its accounts receivable is substantially mitigated by the Company’s evaluation process, relatively short collection terms and the high level of credit worthiness of its customers.

The Company’s concentration of credit risk includes its concentrations from key customers and vendors.

For the year ended December 31, 2021 the Company had one customer that accounted for 11% of its revenue and no customers in 2020 that accounted for more than 10% of its revenue. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had one vendor that accounted for 64% and 76% of its cost of revenue. The Company does not believe the loss of the vendor would have a material impact on the Company’s operations as SONDORS has many proprietary processes used to mass produce high quality electric bikes efficiently therefore contracted factories can be reconfigured to meet demand.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) which supersedes FASB ASC Topic 840, Leases (Topic 840) and provides principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. The new standard requires the lessees to classify leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee, and such classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than twelve months regardless of classification. Leases with a term of twelve months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. The Company currently only has month to month leases, therefore adoption is not expected to be material. The standard will be effective for us for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2022, if applicable.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred significant losses since its inception, primarily as the result of operations. The Company had an accumulated deficit and a loss from operations of $5.9 million and $4.9 million, respectively, as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021. These factors raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from August 2, 2022, the date the financial statements are available to be issued. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon achieving a level of sales adequate to support the Company’s cost structure and raising significant capital. Prior to attaining this level of sales, management plans to fund its operations through a combination of additional debt and equity financing as required to fund operations until it can generate adequate cash flows from product sales. Management plans to pursue equity and debt financing as required to fund operations until it can generate adequate cash flows from operations.

There is no assurance that the Company will be successful in its efforts to continue to raise additional equity or debt financing or to realize adequate revenue and cash flows from product sales. The accompanying financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

The Company has the following outstanding note payable as of December 31, 2021 and 2020:

Total interest expense for note payable was $9,000 and $2,000 for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. In addition, the Company paid zero interest related to the note for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

The Company’s common stock activity for the year ended December 31, 2021 was as follows:

On August 16, 2021, we granted 200,000 shares of our restricted common stock in SONDORS Electric Bike Company to two advisory board members for services to be rendered. The shares had an aggregate value of $1,680,000, which was based on the fair value of the Company’s stock at the date of issuance. The shares cliff vest on the one-year anniversary of the grant. An acceleration of vesting would occur upon the termination of the advisory agreement by the Company, death of the advisor, the first underwritten public offering of Common Stock by the Company occurs pursuant to a registration statement effective under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering a sale of shares of the Common Stock to the public that results in shares of the Common Stock being listed on a national securities exchange; or the Company is acquired by a special purpose acquisition company in a transaction that results in the Company being owned by parent company with publicly traded securities listed on a national securities exchange, even if the transaction results in a direct or indirect transfer of 50% or less of the total combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding securities; or either of the following stockholder-approved transactions occurs to which the Company is directly or indirectly a party: (A) a merger, sale, or consolidation pursuant to which one or more persons acting as a group acquires indirectly or directly ownership of securities possessing more than 50% of the total combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding securities; or (B) the sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets to a person or more than one person acting as a group in complete liquidation or dissolution of the Company (other than a transfer or other disposition to a person that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Company). The Company recorded stock compensation expense of $631,000 for the year ended December 31. 2021.

On September 16, 2021, the Company issued 50,000 shares of common stock to a consultant for services to be rendered over twelve months with an aggregate fair value of $420,000, which was based on the fair value of the Company’s stock at the date of issuance. The Company recorded stock compensation expense of $122,000 for the year ended December 31. 2021. The $298,000 of unrecognized stock compensation expense as of December 31, 2021, will be expensed over the remaining service term.

The Company’s common stock activity for the year ended December 31, 2020 was as follows:

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company sold 20,686 shares of common stock through its Regulation Crowd Funding offering at $26.58 per share of common stock. The Company recognized gross proceeds of $550,000 and incurred offering costs of $67,400, which reduced additional paid-in capital.

The Company’s founder and Chief Executive Officer does not receive compensation for his services under an employment contract at the current time. Contributed capital of $36,000 in 2020 which it believes to be the fair value of services provided based on the time devoted to the Company in the development process of our prototype vehicle. In addition, a contribution of $788,660 was provided as well as $33,569 in inventory assets.

As of December 31, 2020, a combined total of 9,438,023 shares of common stock have been issued and are outstanding.

The Company has the following warrants as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 are presented below:

At December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 the intrinsic value was $0 and $0, respectively.

The items accounting for the difference between income taxes computed at the federal statutory rate and the provision for income taxes were as follows:

Significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

The Company is subject to income taxes in the United States and files tax returns in the U.S. Federal jurisdiction and California state jurisdiction. The Company is subject to U.S. Federal, state and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for all periods starting in 2017. The Company currently is not under examination by any tax authority, nor does it owe any federal or state taxes due to the deferred tax assets.

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

In evaluating the Company’s ability to recover deferred tax assets, all available positive and negative evidence is analyzed, including historical and current operating results, ongoing tax planning, and forecasts of future taxable income on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis. Based on the level of losses, the Company has established a valuation allowance to reduce its net deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized.

The Company records uncertain tax positions on the basis of a two-step process in which (1) the Company determines whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and (2) for those tax positions that meet the more- likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits on the interest expense line and other income, net, respectively, in the accompanying SONDORS Electric Car Company and SONDORS Electric Bike Company statements of operations. Accrued interest and penalties are included in accrued expenses and other liabilities in the combined balance sheets.

The Company’s combined net deferred tax asset as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 is approximately $2,228,000 and $707,000, which primarily consist of net operating loss carry forwards from SONDORS Electric Car Company. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020 the Company provided a 100% valuation allowance against the net deferred tax assets, which management could not determine would more likely than not be realized. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 the Company valuation allowance increased by approximately $1,521,000 and $291,000.

At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company had federal and state net operating loss carry forwards of approximately $4,714,000 and $4,544,000 for 2021 and $1,652,000 and $1,453,000 for 2020. Certain federal and state net operating losses expire on various dates through 2039.

On January 30, 2018, an action was commenced against the Company, Mr. Sondors and certain affiliates of Mr. Sondors seeking monetary damages relating to several causes of action, including breach of contract. On March 16, 2022, the Company entered into a Settlement Agreement and Mutual Release with the plaintiff with respect to the action. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement agreement, the plaintiff agreed to dismiss the action in consideration for the Company making an initial payment to plaintiff in the amount of $600,000 and agreeing to make a subsequent payment in the amount of $400,000 on April 17, 2023.

The Company has established an appropriate reserve to account for the $1,000,000 settlement of the above litigation matter, which is recognized in accrued expenses in the accompanying combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2021.

The Company has not yet filed certain sales tax returns for 2018 through 2021, as such the Company has accrued a sales tax reserve of $1,865,000.

The Company believes it has adequately reserved for all litigation within its financial statements.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events that occurred after December 31, 2021 through August 2, 2022, the date the financial statements were available to be issued. Until July 20, 2022, Mr. Sondors owned 99.52% of the outstanding common stock of SONDORS Electric Bike Company and 96.33% of the outstanding common stock of SONDORS Electric Car Company. Effective July 20, 2022, the Company entered into a contribution agreement with Mr. Sondors. Under the terms of the contribution agreement, Mr. Sondors contributed his shares of common stock of SONDORS Electric Bike Company to the Company in exchange for 6,583,335 shares of the Company’s common stock and contributed his shares of common stock of SONDORS Electric Car Company to the Company in exchange for 6,373,045 shares of the Company’s common stock. As a result, SONDORS Electric Bike Company and SONDORS Electric Car Company became majority-owned subsidiaries of the Company.

There are have no other events or transactions during this time, which would have a material, effect on these financial statements.

Through and including , 2022 (25 days after the date of this prospectus), all dealers that buy, sell or trade our common shares, whether or not participating in this offering, may be required to deliver a prospectus. This delivery requirement is in addition to the dealers’ obligation to deliver a prospectus when acting as an underwriter and with respect to their unsold allotments or subscriptions.

Expenses of the registrant in connection with the issuance and distribution of the securities being registered are estimated as follows:

The registrant’s certificate of incorporation contains provisions that eliminate, to the maximum extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, or the DGCL, the personal liability of the registrant’s directors and executive officers for monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as directors or officers. The registrant’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that the registrant must indemnify its directors and executive officers and may indemnify its employees and other agents to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL.

The registrant will enter into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers, in addition to the indemnification provided for in its certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and intends to enter into indemnification agreement, with any new directors and executive officers in the future.

The registrant has purchased and currently intends to maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance.

The proposed form of Underwriting Agreement filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this registration statement provides for indemnification of the registrant’s directors and officers by the underwriter against certain liabilities.

On July 20, 2022, the registrant’s date of incorporation, the registrant issued one share of its common stock to its President, Chief Executive Officer and Secretary, Storm Sondors, for nominal consideration.

In a series of closings that occurred in August and September 2022, each pursuant to securities purchase agreements with certain accredited investors in the U.S. and certain investors outside of the U.S., the registrant sold in a private placement an aggregate of $3,500,000 principal amount of its 10% Senior Secured Original Issue Discount Convertible Notes due April 30, 2023 for an aggregate subscription price of $3,220,000 with an initial conversion price equal to 80% of the initial public offering price per share of common stock in this offering. In connection with the registrant’s issuance of Senior Secured Notes, the registrant issued to the purchasers of the Senior Secured Notes five-year warrants to purchase up to that number of shares of the registrant’s common stock calculated by multiplying the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes by 0.50 and dividing the resultant amount by an amount equal to 120% of the initial public offering price per share of common stock in this offering. In connection with the private placement, the registrant paid its non-U.S. consultant, Falcon Capital Partners Limited, a consulting fee of $322,000, a non-accountable expense allowance of $64,400 and issued to Falcon Capital Partners Limited a five-year warrant to purchase up to that number of shares of the registrant’s common stock calculated by multiplying the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes by 0.50 and dividing the resultant amount by an amount equal to 120% of the initial public offering price per share of common stock in this offering.

On August 16, 2022, the registrant issued to Rande Gerber and Bill Jones, each a director nominee of the registrant, 50,000 shares of the registrant’s common stock pursuant to the terms of restricted stock award agreements dated August 16, 2021 by and between each director nominee and the registrant’s wholly-owned subsidiary, SONDORS Electric Bike Company. As a result of the Corporate Reorganization, each restricted stock award covering 100,000 shares of common stock SONDORS Electric Bike Company was automatically converted into a restricted stock award for 50,000 shares of common stock of SONDORS Inc.

The registrant believes that the offer, sale and issuance of the above securities were exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, Regulation D promulgated thereunder and/or Regulation S promulgated thereunder as a transaction by an issuer not involving any public offering.

All schedules have been omitted because they are either inapplicable or the required information has been given in the financial statements or notes thereto.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

	●	*Demonstrated Capabilities in the Development and Commercialization of E-Bikes*. A key competitive advantage that we’ve developed as a result of designing, developing and selling innovative e-bikes in the United States and foreign markets at scale for the last seven years, is our ability to adapt quickly to evolving consumer tastes through our in-house design capabilities, coupled with our long-standing relationships with our contract manufacturers to bring these products to market efficiently and cost effectively.

	●	*Established Brand*. Our history of developing innovative products have created a loyal brand following, establishing SONDORS as a quality player within the e-bike marketplace. This has allowed us to expand our product offerings to reach a larger segment of consumers, including a segment of consumers interested in our Metacycle, while maintaining our focus on existing SONDORS owners.

	●	*Design Innovation and Product Functionality*. Our innovative designs, which are highlighted by their simplicity, functionality and elegance, are a critical element to the historical success and future growth of our business. We believe our product designs promote superior functionality while being easy to maintain and service.

	●	*Extensive Experience in Manufacturing and the Delivery of E-Mobility Products to the Market*. We have a well-established knowledge of, and experience in, the entire production-cycle of e-bikes and e-motorcycles and we expect to use this knowledge and experience in the development and manufacturing of other e-mobility products in the future. We have a well-established supply chain network in the People’s Republic of China which enables us to maintain attractive production costs. In addition, our contract manufacturing approach supports rapid innovation, as we have established relationships with experienced third party manufacturers that are able to adapt quickly to design and process changes that we request, enabling us to quickly pivot as consumer preferences shift and to deliver e-mobility products to market on a timely basis.

	●	*Sales Strategy*. We believe our direct-to-consumer model creates an ecosystem that fosters owner loyalty. We have also expanded our go to market strategy recently with our contract with Costco to sell select SONDORS e-bike models through its warehouse stores nationwide and online.

	●	*Strong Intellectual Property and Proprietary Rights*. We believe our intellectual property provides us with competitive advantages. We rely on trademarks, service marks, patents, copyrights, domain names, trade secrets, license agreements, intellectual property assignment agreements and other contractual rights to establish and protect our proprietary rights in our technology.
