    Help me choose! ST5 or BMC Alpenchallenge AMP Cross?

    I own an ST5, it handles fire roads just fine thanks to the fat tires.

    Omni C issues

    Might not let you shut down while updating. There will be a icon in the top menu bar of two arrows circling a dot if it is updating. Or sometimes the software just craps out and freezes. Long hold the the mechanical power button if so.

    ST3 vs ST5

    I'm an ST5 owner. ST5 has a more powerful motor and battery. I commute 25 miles/day so its really nice to have the flexibly to ride in S mode without worrying about running out of juice. Also electronic shifting is a dream, its one of those things you don't think you need until you have it. Its...

    Latest Stromer Omni C update killed my GSM connection - Stromer rolled it back

    Over the last couple of weeks I haven't been able to connect to Stromer Portal but a firmware update was pushed to my bike last night and all is well now.

    Software update 4.1.3.3 (release date June 17th, 2019)

    I also live in sf and have the same issues (ST5). However the lastest update has improved the accuracy. Down to a block or two from actual location, still not great though. There are certain places you’ll get 100 percent accuracy and one of them is twin peaks. How does your Bluetooth and...

    The new Stromer ST5

    1. It says, Oops! Something went wrong... Please try again. 2. Thanks, I hear they are working on that 3. Thanks. 4. I tried that but even when I´m holding the phone right up to the bike it still won´t work all the time. I had an ST5 before that I had to return that didn´t have this issue. 5...

    The new Stromer ST5

    ST5 Owners, I’ve been having a lot of issues with Omni C app (bike software version 4.1.2.7) on my ST5: When I change the sensor sensitivity in the app and try to save, I get an error message. GPS bike location most often very inaccurate. I often see a message above the map that says location...

    The new Stromer ST5

    Unfortunately the seamless function is highly unreliable on my bike, not sure how it is for others but I can hold my phone right next to the bike and it won’t wake and unlock for minutes if at all. Worse, I can get on the bike and ride it without it waking and going into theft mode. Anyone else...

    The new Stromer ST5

    No, that seems similar but I think the ST5 handle bars are a little wider if I remember correctly. One thing you have to take into consideration is the larger tires when sizing the bike. You’ll have less stand over clearance compared to the ST2.

    The new Stromer ST5

    Thanks for your response, im fine with the light being on while I’m riding but sometimes I’ll stop somewhere like a park for example and because the light is so bright and blinding everyone I wish I could just turn off the light with the button instead of having to turn off the bike.

    The new Stromer ST5

    Question to ST5 owners, my ST5 lights are on all the time, I can switch to high beam but I can’t turn off the lights and there doesn’t seem to be a mode with just the running lights on (I’m not referring to the U light on the frame) Is this how yours operates as well? For example I can’t get my...

    The new Stromer ST5

    I had a st2 loaner bike before my st5 arrived and there is a clear difference between the two. The ST2 seems to have more torque at the lower end where the st5 seems to have more power at the higher end. The st5 feels more confident and smoother but I also enjoyed the torquiness of the st2 and...
