Go to Ergotec.de The products you want to look at are: M77-L, M88-L, M99-L, M55-L and M66-L. They look more like a conventional motorcycle mirror than the Hafny.

The Ergotec M-99 is designed for bar end mounting with the adapter, but if the handlebar diameter fits the diameter of the mirror clamp (which is 22.2mm), then on some handlebars it may be possible to move the handlebar grip and brake lever mount over 13mm to mount the mirror directly on the...

I no longer have a nearby Stromer dealer, so San Diego said to contact any US Stromer dealer to work with me remotely to upgrade to the Omni C. New Wheel in SF is now having San Diego drop ship two Omni C’s directly to me (my wife and I have ST2’s purchased in 2015) with simple DYI installation...

The first image is the B&M 701. Retails around $40. The second and third images are the Ergotec M-99, which needs an adapter (both found at the French retailer xxcycles.com for about $35 and $9 respectively), plus shipping to the US. My wife rides with the 701, but I like the Ergotec because of...

At the risk of reopening a long thread with a bit of controversy, I thought I would share a recent pulsing experience. I started to experience pulsing on my daily commute, so I turned up the settings on my ST2 as suggested by others in these posts. That didn't work. Then I observed that...

I don't live in California, which is why I'm interested in keeping things low key in my state until the progressive forces that put California's laws on the books develop here to ensure we are not treated as mopes or motorcycles. I would be happy to give up riding an ST2 on bike paths in...

Hats off to Stromer for keeping the brakes on boost mode recoding. The legal classification of ebikes in each of the 50 states hangs in the balance. Codes or no codes, I'm not interested in having my ST2 classified as a moped that requires me to pay for registration and liability insurance and...

Traffic from your right (right cross) is certainly a danger (I've been hit that way before too), but the left cross from oncoming traffic can be especially deadly because you don't expect it and may have little time to react. The driver could turn in front of you before you can stop, or you get...

Ergotec M-99 mirror from Humpert, part number 65174, which requires a bar end adapter, part number 65178.

Some pics of my ST2 with custom (i.e., homemade) stripes.

An Abus Bordo Granit X-Plus 6500 is the top of the line of Abus folding locks. It can secure the frame and rear wheel of an ST2 to a bike rack, but not both wheels unless you buy a second one. They are sold in black, red and white versions. To mount the Abus lock holster to the water bottle...

Stromers come with fun, but not mirrors. In this forum's search box, you can type "mirror" and get a few hits for what mirrors people like. Here is what I posted in one thread last month: I started with a Busch & Müller 701 Mirror for E-Bikes 913701VLME, which is a great mirror. I switched to...

The ebike depicted in the link has front and rear shocks, clearly meant for off road riding, and no surprise it is caked with mud. Even if I equipped my ST2 with front shocks, I wouldn't ride it like that. It would be like taking a Tesla for a spin through a muddy obstacle course. I would...

Craigslist doesn't say, but Daniel thinks the Elite he is looking at is vintage 2013. On a separate note, there is the question of whether Wanderbikes had to close down due to the Illinois low speed electric bike law. It allows unlicensed ebikes on the street provided they do not exceed...

Craigslist shows the Elites in this fleet selling for $1000 plus $200 extra for a second used battery. Indicates the rental company was Wanderbikes.com offering tours and rentals in Chicago. In the plus column, Chicago is flat, which translates into less wear and tear on the motor. It might...
