    Gold battery 0% on-bike display charger blinks green and steady red

    I ran through all the scenarios, but in then end the battery had unrecoverable deep discharge. A very expensive education as with most things Stromer. Why their charger doesn’t have some kind of deep discharge prevention handshake with the BMS circuitry in the battery itself is beyond me...

    Gold battery 0% on-bike display charger blinks green and steady red

    Thanks. I have tried just about everything I could think of. The biggest pain is the only Stromer dealer in town went out of business otherwise I might have been able to see if it was a battery or charger issue. Is there any way to test the battery itself?

    Gold battery 0% on-bike display charger blinks green and steady red

    I've had my bike plugged in all winter (I know, not a good idea). I went to ride it today and it wouldn't turn on. So I plugged it back in and got a 0% charge message on the screen. I unplugged the charger from the wall, plugged the battery into the charger and then plugged the charger back into...

    2017 Racktime Trunk Bag Thread

    Sure, I did buy it at Trekkinn VAUDE Silkroad L Snap-it The price changes all the time depending who they actually source it from. Right now it is $47 without shipping. It's exactly the kind of bag I was looking for. Mine was shipped from the Netherlands, btw.

    2017 Racktime Trunk Bag Thread

    After ten agonizing days, my Vaude Silk Road L arrived from Europe today! I'll split this into multiple posts to cut down on the load times for the photos. #1 the "KlickFix" Snap-it adapter: You can see how the pins rotate in and out. The entire adapter is made out of plastic. Might be an...

    Stromer ST2 - Technical review

    As a relatively new ST2 owner, I'm still in the honeymoon phase; but here's my 2 cents' worth. To level set, I ride exclusively on big city streets in a major metropolitan area. I'd like an option to strobe the DRL LEDs. The on/off cycle for an LED consumes no more battery than constant on and...

    2017 Racktime Trunk Bag Thread

    I know what you mean. The retailers don't always provide enough info and sometimes they show an incorrect picture of their products. Here are the two KlickFix snap-it adapters. This one doesn't adjust and is too wide for the City kit rack on our bikes. You can see that the pins are set into...

    2017 Racktime Trunk Bag Thread

    The Rixen&Kaul website ( (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) ) lists 22 products equipped with their version of the snap-it adapter. Since the site uses javascript, I can't provide a direct link, but you can navigate to all racktime products from the main menu using "For Carrier"--> "Bags...

    2017 Racktime Trunk Bag Thread

    Thanks for the link. It's always good to have more options. That's three now and counting. I also dug up this e-tailer in Germany who sells through e-bay. Racktime trunk bags do pop up from time to time there...

    The "Tesla of Bikes"

    Meet the "Tesla of Cars". As an owner of both, I feel confident that if Tesla actually made an electric bike, it would be very similar to the Stromer ST2. Honestly though, its just an excuse to use this goofy feature from the app.

    ST1-T vs. ST1-X: Anyone ridden both?

    Thanks for the nice review and update. I was on the fence between the 1-x and the 2 until I found a killer closeout deal on the 2. It is definitely more bike than I need for my use, so it sounds like urban commuters can get around very nicely on the 1-x, as was my expectation. The motor...

    Known Issues & Problems with Stromer Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    I'm still trying to sort out whether this happened when I shipped the bike, the shop messed up or if it is a "known" issue. The LBS that assembled my ST2 (not an authorized dealer) claimed that the hydraulic line to the front brake was kinked inside the frame and had to be removed and replaced...

    2017 Racktime Trunk Bag Thread

    Many thanks to the contributors of the similar thread started in 2015. Unfortunately, two years is like a millennium in bike gear time. Since then, Ortlieb lost their licensing agreement with Racktime and no longer offer any gear outfitted with the snap-it mounting system. They were the primary...

    Stromer ST2 Suspension Shocks

    Followed your lead and contacted Lenny's today. Connor was super helpful and knowledgeable. He knew exactly which model I needed for the ST2 and the color springs for my weight.

    Stromer ST2 Suspension Shocks

    Thanks, I've been doing research in the interim and I'm convinced that the front shock is the way to go. I just need to find an LBS that can order the Stromer package and not expect to charge me full retail. I saved enough on the bike that I'm willing to pay a little bit of a premium for the...

    StaFast Suspension Stem Review

    I visited their website and they are unavailable for purchase. Does anyone know if they are still in production? To the OP, now that you've had the stem for a year or two have your impressions changed?
