Have my ST1 for almost 5 years. Tires, chains, cassettes were all it had needed for regular maintenance. Had I been better on replacing the chain more often, maybe one less cassette. Last year I had the battery rebuilt with new cells for more Wh than the original. A wipeout on mossy asphalt led...

I have had an ST1 for almost 4 years. In March I noticed a drop in performance and I had the battery rebuilt by https://ebikemarketplace.com/ It’s better than new now bc they used improved cells for more watt hours.

Accelerating away from a green light, something was immediately wrong as I was only standing on my right pedal and my butt was on the top tube. I pulled over and found that my left crank arm was 50 ft back in the middle of the road (not in my spd shoe) and my frame was showing an exposed bottom...

I have an ST1 with the city kit I recently tore the connector between the battery compartment and the front light. I am replacing the connector, but don’t remember the order of the wires. On the compartment side there are 4 wires that go from black to red (intact). The other connector going to...

Your bike is 36v and you need the octagonal batteries... there are many colors (watt hours) available. I sent my gold battery for out for rebuilding and received it back in about 2.5 weeks, with blue battery watthours. If you can’t wait, there’s 3 gold batteries available on eBay right now (age...

I ran into this problem too with my ST1 Magura Mt2 brakes. I broke half of the aluminum rear brake lever. I ordered a full set of both front and rear brakes and rotors on eBay. I then sold the rest of the parts on eBay to someone else who needed them. I netted a $20 loss in order to find the...

Looking for a used or demo 28mph bike with downtube battery and mid-drive decked out for commuting. What do you have?

Anyone have and ST1 battery doing nothing? I'm in the market. Thanks.

ST-1 Platinum. 14 months, 5,000 miles. 3rd chain, 2nd cassette, 2nd set of brake pads. Upgraded tires to schwalbe marathon plus - no flats in 3500 miles since I put them on. 205lbs, Bodyfloat seat post, pedal hard. No battery or motor problems. I ride in city mode 30% on a windy path with stops...

Anyone have any ideas?

I am considering buying a five person (inline) custom made trike with the hopes that my family will actually ride it during parades. The bike unloaded will weigh 250 pounds. It has five cranks on it, but I have to be honest with myself that I will probably be the only one putting in enough...

LBS put on a new cassette and no more knock. They also put on a new chain. He said the chain checker dropped in easily and actually wiggled a bit. Whether or not that contributed to the problem is in the air, but it needed to be replaced after admittedly being poorly maintained for 1500 miles.

I have about 4000 miles on my ST1. I pedal hard in city mode @30% about 22-26 mph. Recently I developed some knocking sounds coming from the rear I believe. If I go up to Tour or Power mode the knocking is more frequent and louder. I can wobble the cassette a mm or two with my fingers, I don't...

I'm looking for a bike that has most of the following... >500wh downtube battery mid-drive motor 28mph nuvinci or shimano geared hub belt drive under $5k? If you have any suggestions for most of those options, please let me know. Thanks!
