I took a quick look online and it seems like most of the forks with those specs are about $300+. I'd have to check with my LBS to see if they would even install a part I bought elsewhere. I'm not competent enough to do a safety-critical job like that on my brand new bike. Then I still wouldn't...

For rough urban streets, is the front shock really necessary or would something like a suspension stem work just as well? Does the shock keep the bike under tighter control than a stem? I've never used either and I've never had a bike (ST2) this heavy before. The stem seems like a mod I could...

How bad are the roads you usually ride on? The city streets here are truly 3rd world quality.

I might take it to a local Stromer dealer while its immobile to see if I can get it outfitted with at least a body float and get their recommendation for front shock absorption.

I was contemplating a body float seat post and a compatible suspension fork. I really just need it to navigate the crappy city streets in this town, I'm not going off-road on this bike.

Tracking says this Friday, but I am skeptical about being able to ride this weekend. The battery of course is shipped separately by ground, so even if the bike is here Friday, I doubt the battery is going to be here too.

My personal journey was Smartmotion Pacer --> ST1-T --> ST1-X -->ST2. I had more or less decided on the X and started shopping for lowest price when I came upon the closeout ST2 for only another three hundred. I don't know how addicted to e-Biking I'll get. I'm hedging my bet that like so many...

Thanks everyone. In a shocking twist of fate, I wound up throwing caution to the wind and landed a closeout 2016 ST2. I kept going up and up the ladder to where in a weird way this made the most sense.

Thanks for all the advice. I wound up chasing the devil up and out of my budget and landed a closeout 2016 ST2. It didn't seem like much of a stretch from where I started at a cap of three and half grand to where I wound up after I started adding up battery upgrades and whatnot. I'm still...

Thanks. Is there an "official" Stromer recommendation for a front shock for the ST1-T? I assume that the frame on the ST1-X is the same as the ST2 and the Suntour kit available through dealers would work.

I pretty much narrowed down my choice to a closeout model ST1-T which fits nicely inside my budget. However, if I add a Body Float seat post later, then I'll be outside my original budget; but within seven hundred dollars or so of an ST1-X, which the retailer bundles with the seat post. I'm...

Sorry about that...($$$). I agree that obviously the best decisions are made when you've been able to ride both bikes. OTOH, one shouldn't limit one's universe only to those bikes available in the local market. If I lived in SoCal, that might be a different story altogether. It never hurts to...

Both are within a couple hundred of each other similarly equipped. Which would you choose?
