    Stromer regen braking?

    Pretty freaking good 😁! Thank you!!! For myself, I'm more interested in using the regen from pulling the brake in order to save the brake pads. That there is a setting on how intense this can be, seems like a really nice feature!! I'd guess that the more intense regen setting from the brake...

    Stromer regen braking?

    WOW! Thank you for that awesome guide!!! If you don't feel like answering another question, I totally understand, but just wondering if I switch to old school recup in the Omni app, if that means that the half pull of the brake level triggers the recup, similar to the way it works on the early...

    Stromer regen braking?

    THANK YOU for this info!! Question - how does the regen with the brake work? On my 2015 ST1, the regen would start anytime you slightly pull down on the brake lever. Is it the same on the new Stromers? Does the display indicate that regen is occurring? In the past, the regen braking on my old...

    Stromer ST1 vs ST2 in 2024

    I did indeed purchase the ST1. Hope to pick it up by next weekend or shortly after. It's very interesting for me to learn about the details, as I'm not very good with mechanics and basic bicycle knowledge, but I'm learning as I go. At first I felt like Pinion was the next best thing and I...

    Stromer ST1 vs ST2 in 2024

    Here is my feedback after spending a few days test riding, marinating over it, etc... I found the ST2 a bit more powerful, and the brakes felt a little more in control. I experienced the Pinion and it is indeed nice to switch gears at anytime, but I actually found the ST1 traditional chain...

    Stromer ST1 vs ST2 in 2024

    Hello everyone, looking for thoughts/opinions on the ST1 vs ST2. The ST1 is currently $3,600 retail while the ST2 is listed at almost double. I'm currently trying to decide if I should take the economical route, or go all out and purchase the ST2. I know one main difference is the pinion, but I...

    Flat Out Tire, Slime or the Dart System, Armor-Dilloz. What’s the best Tire Sealant?

    Wondering if anyone has tried Gup tire sealant? I haven't tried any of the above, as I instead purchased an inner-tube that is supposed to be very strong against punctures.

    Flat tire repair help

    Oh and so to share my concluded plan in the event of a flat tire: 1) Have a great tire and inner tube to prevent them in the first place (I bought an inner tube that is supposed to be very difficult to get a flat) 2) Gup tire sealant (it inflates and seals the tire so that you can travel to...

    Flat tire repair help

    Me personally don't know much. I'm not good with this stuff. My bike shop guy on the other hand is literally one of the nicest and generous people I've come across. This is a guy who has a long list of loving reviews on Yelp, and in my personal experience would not charge me for basic...

    Flat tire repair help

    I researched this with my local shop that has an awesome repair guy and where they are very kind and generous. The bottom line that was explained to me is how difficult it can be attempting to change the tire of an ebike, and that you risk doing various sorts of damage. The best option in my...

    What's it like to ride a fat bike?

    Thanks so much!!! Well that definitely makes the Haibike a valid option, with the restriction removed. And that's really helpful to get an estimate of range like this. For my commute, there are different sections. There are some where I'm pretty much going as fast as I want to, but then there...

    What's it like to ride a fat bike?

    Thanks for the report ElevenAD! I found a Yelp page for the E-Lux headquarters shop down here in SoCal, and so there are a decent number of reviews there, and I haven't seen anyone report motor failings, so that's a good sign. I'm working out a few other concerns. For example, I currently have...

    What's it like to ride a fat bike?

    That's a beautiful bike. I also want to thank you for sharing your adjustments. I'm no expert, so this is great stuff for me to consider. I just started looking at Haibike as an option. The one thing that might be a deal-breaker is the power shutting off at 20mph. Now I know this is a mid hub...

    What's it like to ride a fat bike?

    Thanks for the feedback!! Question tho - is the Haibike FatSix going to provide the cruiser experience? From what I can see in pictures, it seems like apples to oranges. Again I love my Stromer! But the ride on the E-Lux was completely different. I'd say that a ride on the Stromer is more...

    What's it like to ride a fat bike?

    No doubt. I normally charge once I reach the office, so I'm only requiring 20 miles for the battery.
