Jones Loop-H Bar rocks, I haven't upgraded my eBike, yet, but I'm loving them on my regular touring bike. Upgraded from my trekking bar based on another EBR users recommendation. I ordered it directly from their site and got a shipping notice 10 minutes later and the bar showed up two days...

You are not alone... My cellular link has been sporadic to nil for the past month and half. I found the following on a Santa Cruz County planning which was addressing their 2G highway callboxes. "As part of AT&T’s strategy to address growing customer demand for mobile services, AT&T announced...

Does anyone know if there is a Grin Satiator output adapter for the ST2 magnetic charge plug?

Hey Wanderlust, how's the trip planning going? I did 7 day, self-contained 500 mile field test of touring on my ebike last summer and it was great fun and totally doable. I went the trailer route instead of panniers for the first time, and given the fact that I didn't have the ability to have...

After a 500 mile, week long trip across Iowa last summer I really loved my butterfly or trekking handlebars. The many hand positions afforded by these bars were great and I found them very comfortable. But now that I'm back to mainly city riding I felt the slightly inside and back position...

I had a similar problem, although it didn't matter what percent my battery was at. I would plug in the charger and everything would seem fine, then within a few seconds I'd hear the click and the lights would go green and charging would stop. Initially I could retry multiple times with various...

I think I remember hearing somewhere that the gloss black was specifically made for the white ST2 to play off the black contrasting accents on the frame. As a designer I feel comfortable saying it sounds like designer BS.

Robert, it pains me to see you go through these challenges with your ST2. I’ve owned one for about 18 months now and put 2700 miles on it including an 500 mile week long trip with a 60lb trailer with all my self supported gear. Two things I accepted when I bought my ST2 was that it is not a...

I've got an ST2 and Thule EasyFold setup and just love it. Strapping down both wheels and clamping onto the frame makes it really secure. As others have mentioned I always transport the bike with the battery removed which makes getting onto the rack or into the back of my small SUV very doable...

Not sure what axle the ST1 uses but I found what I needed for my ST2 and Radical Design trailer with these folks. Great service and great quality parts. https://robertaxleproject.com/

I just brought back a LongJohn from my brothers in the Midwest. He and I bought it 35 years ago in Copenhagen and managed to get it back to the US. I restored it then and now it's in need of yet another rebirth. I'm seriously considering doing a complete rebuild and converting it to an...

This just sucks. The one question I always ask is "what do you think these thieves do with our stuff after they steal it?" My guess is they sell it. Next time you see a Craigslist, eBay or flea market item where the prices is to good to be true, think about where the item may have come from...

While ebikes have been making headway in acceptance for commuting and off road riding in the US, I think cycle touring on an ebike is a real possibility as well. I just completed a 7 day 450 mile ride across southern Iowa on my Stromer ST2 completely self supported from a gear standpoint. The...

Here is a link to the trailer site. (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) For the most part I really liked it. There was a little sag in the bottom fabric but proper packing minimized that. It tracked very nicely but the key was to get the weight distribution right with some tongue weight.

It's from a company called Radical Design, I think the model is a Trekker IV or something. I can look it up and provide more details.

Just a quick update, I'd say the Stromer definitely won! Cell coverage was non existent in southern Iowa so I'm still working on updating my blog. Two shout outs, one to Stromer for building an incredible bike and one to the folks at New Wheel in SF for helping make sure my ST2 was perfectly...

On my bucket list since retiring has been revisiting the Registers Annual Great Bike Ride Across Iowa experience which is celebrating its 44th year. Over 7 days, in excess of 10,000 handlebar hedonists make their way through small town Iowa on all sorts of bikes. It's been 33 years since I...

I bought Ebike insurance after my next door neighbors garage got broken into and several expensive mountain bikes were stolen. I chain my ST2 to the wall and have a motion detecting camera trained on it as well, I figure I've done just about everything I can do short of sleeping with the darn...

I also joined the Bay Area Ebike Meet-up group for a ride 3 or 4 weeks ago from the SF Ferry Terminal to the Marin Headlands and back through the Golden Gate Park. It was an amazing ride and a fun mix of people from the SF Bay Area. They've got a ebike camping trip in a week or two that I'm...

4cyl 2014 with twin turbo and 4matic. only had it about 10 months but absolutely love it, 33-35 mph. Not quite as good as the Stromer but about 8-10 x the range.
