After revealing that Madain Sari is the village of the summoner tribe, Eiko becomes interested in knowing more about Zidane and assaults him with personal questions.

Since then, Eiko has been living in Madain Sari with only her moogle friends to keep her company.Ĭoncept art of the entrance to Madain Sari. Eiko was the last child to be born but, as her parents died soon afterwards, she was raised by her grandfather who died one year before the game's start. Madain Sari and its civilization were largely destroyed and only a few survivors remained. During the village's destruction, Garnet and her biological mother escaped, but her mother died upon reaching Alexandria and Garnet was raised a princess never knowing of her roots as a summoner. ![]() Ten years prior to the game's start, Garland ordered Kuja to destroy Madain Sari because he feared the tribe's power of summoning eidolons could come between him and his plans. The summoners continued to live peacefully in their village, far away from the rest of civilization. In time, the people of the Mist Continent forgot about the summoners and the eidolons, which became subjects of myths and fairytale. According to the Final Fantasy IX Ultimania, Madain Sari is the place where the planet's pulse concentrates and was the reason the summoners decided to make their village there. I used the Demon Brick because its cost is low (15), but I guess any tank would do.The summoner tribe used to inhabit the Mist Continent but, after the events 500 years prior to the game's start, when Alexander was summoned and the summoners failed to control it resulting in a rampage, the summoners looked for another place to live.Īlexander's crystal was broken into four fragments, one piece given to each of the kingdoms on Mist Continent, and the summoner tribe kept the last piece.

Switch to Gate A or C before the timer ends. Spend all your points in 4 Kidragoras at the B Gate. They also have the highest Attack in this category.

My only two caveats are that we still haven’t seen any real images of the Sondors Elite lineup and that Sondors is pretty mum on component specs.įor inside looks, all we’ve gotten from the company so far are renders. So to see Sondors opening at $2000 is impressive. Most Bafang Ultra-powered e-bikes start well north of $3,000. Sondors’ name carries some decent weight in the e-bike industry and could help put more of these high-powered e-bikes into Americans’ garages. But many of them come from smaller companies with less brand awareness than Sondors. It’s not like we haven’t seen some awesome Bafang Ultra-powered e-bikes before. Electrek’s Takeįirst of all, it’s great to see Sondors expanding into the high-performance category of e-bikes. The LX is also priced at $1,999 with a $299 deposit. The Cruiser also sports fat mountain bike-style tires, further confusing its classification between a performance trail bike and a laid-back cruiser-style bike.įor their part, Sondors describes the LX as “a premium mid-drive sport utility fat electric bike with an all-new low-entry, elevated chainstay frame.” ![]() It features front suspension similar to the Sondors Rockstar yet has a step-through frame and hardtail design like the Sondors Cruiser. Lastly, the Sondors LX is something of the Goldilocks e-bike in the lineup. The Sondors Cruiser is a bit more affordable than the Rockstar as well, priced at $1,999 with a $299 deposit. The frame is also a low-step design for increased accessibility. It features a rigid fork and hardtail, so there’s no suspension other than the balloon tires. The Sondors Cruiser is the polar opposite of the Sondors Rockstar, at least in terms of frame design. The Rockstar is priced at $2,599 but can be pre-ordered with a $299 deposit. The Sondors Rockstar is the only full-suspension bike in the trio, offering 150 mm of rear travel, a “bespoke forged and machined aluminum alloy frame”, and a top speed of at least 28 mph (45 km/h). The three bikes in the Sondors Elite lineup include the Sondors Rockstar, Sondors Cruiser, and Sondors LX. That still leaves plenty of power, and the large 48 V 21 Ah batteries should last even longer with the more reasonable power level compared to other Bafang Ultra-powered e-bikes that use every bit of extreme power from the motors.Īt just over 1 kWh, the battery packs are rated by Sondors for between 40-60 miles (64-96 km) of range on a single charge. The bikes are marketed as 750W continuous, which is the nominal wattage of the motors. That’s the amount of power the system pulls during peak loading, which generally occurs during acceleration or hill climbing (peak watts are calculated by current (amps) x voltage (volts). The motors can provide up to 1,600 W of peak power, though Sondors appears to have throttled them back down to around 1,200 W of peak power with a controller limited to 25 A.
