No problem. Here's another thread to follow. This guy is working through the same problem and knows a lot more than I do http://secondnaturecycling.com/2014/10/11/stromer-troubleshooting-and-diagnosis-part-1/ Doug.

Hi jrw293, yes I've had a couple of issues with an intermittent NO_COM. For me, the failure was always due to a loose connection on one of the threaded connectors near the display. I have cleaned and taped them and they haven't given me any trouble in a while. There is also a connector behind...

Thanks again Joe, I had no idea! I'll make one up. Doug

Good suggestion, thanks Streumer. It probably wouldn't hurt to cover the repair with a Bondic seal... and yeah, the lack of a removable display (let alone integrated into the frame like your ST2) is one of my few frustrations with the bike, considering that Bosch, Bionx and others included them...

Thanks very much for the input guys. A glue job by the previous owner failed, so I figured it was a lost cause, but the Loctite seems pretty solid. I'll see how well it holds up when riding season starts. Thanks Streumer for the Bondic tip. The stuff had mixed reviews on Amazon, but I'll...

Thanks very much Joe, I'll give it a try! Doug

Hi, I've got a 2012 Stromer Sport and the clamp for the display has broken. I'd hate to replace the display, but the design doesn't allow me to just replace the clamp and I haven't been able to glue it. Has anyone else dealt with this, or have any suggestions that would better than just taping...

Thanks for the input Joe! That's probably a good idea to leave it factory spec and the chain/freewheel both checked out ok by my mechanic, so I assume that they were replaced by the previous owner. I'll post some pics of the broken clamp on the display under a separate thread. Doug.

Thanks for your update. It is encouraging to read that I'm not the only one who has had a fairly problem free ride with the 2012 Elite. I bought one this spring with 3000 miles on it (apparently without any electric related problems for the original owner) and have since put another two thousand...

Disappointing news! It looks like Mercedes has halted production on the Smart Ebike. http://blog.mercedes-benz-passion.com/2015/10/smart-ebike-produktion-nach-3-jahren-ausgelaufen/ I picked up a demo model on clearance a few weeks ago, and have been very impressed with the build quality and...

I'm in Toronto and never had any issues, although I always slow down on crowded bike paths and when approaching police. Ottawa laws seem pretty standard as long as you don't have a scooter type: http://ottawa.ca

Fair enough, Rick. I just had visions of someone riding down a bike path with their hand on the horn like they're driving a Hummer and that person obviously isn't you. Get whatever you need to make your ride safer and enjoy your riding!

At the risk of opening a can of worms, I'm a little worried about this post. I love the freedom that pedelecs have (so far) to ride roads, bike paths etc without requiring a license. When I'm riding my Stromer sport through traffic and pedestrian areas, I drop into Eco mode and give others space...

Out looks like Stromer has been sold to Scott Sports SA. http://www.bike-eu.com/home/nieuws/2015/7/bmc-refocuses-with-divestment-of-stromer-and-bergamont-10124265

I asked Surface 604 upgrade options, and was told that while shifter/derailleur options are limited, they would be posting Tektro hydraulic brakes as an upgrade option next month. No price was mentioned though.
