    On a full charge I get about 30 miles (48 km) at full power. If you coming up short I would look into getting a new battery.

    New Tires and Chain Needed

    So the roads where I am at are full of rocks etc and they have been murder on my Big Bens. I have been running tire liners which have been great on extending their use and preventing weekly flats. So I am in the market for some new tires and I want to know if anyone has tried anything else? I...

    Panniers for City Kit (Racktime)?

    I am using the Axiom Seymour DLX 30 panniers. I did not have to adjust anything to get them to work with the city kit at all. http://www.axiomgear.com/products/gear/bags/journey-series/seymour-dlx-30/ I also picked up bottom hooks that work great as well for attaching the pannier too...

    Any upgrades to Stromer ST1?

    Adding the city kit is nice for bad weather and also it provides you lights as well. I have a iPhone 5 mounted to my steam and use a Ram Mount to hold the phone. Paniers are really nice as well if you need to carry items and they will hook right onto the city kit.

    Old batteries, what to do?

    I would take the battery apart and look at the cells inside. There is likely numbers on the cells that describe the characteristic of the individual cell. If you can identify the cell then googling for a replacement cell would be your next step. Then lots of desolder old cells and...

    Schlumpf Speed Drive

    I am still sitting on the fence with this one. I want to make sure the higher top end can be utilized by the motor. The other day was I traveling down hill and I was going 44 and the motor felt like it was in regenative mode. The display also had the >>> on the left side as well and I was...

    Stromer st1 rear wheel question.

    There is a flat washer and a barrel washer. The barrel washer goes on the cassette side and the flat washer goes on the other side with the bevel towards the bike.

    Battery percentage stuck at 10%

    I don't know, but there is just no way it was the battery as it charges fine and drains normally when used in the bike.

    Battery percentage stuck at 10%

    So I got my bike back from the Dealer yesterday and BMC ended up having them replace the motor. BMC just sent out a new laced up rear wheel, the controller is what really was the issue but as it is incased in the motor housing they sent out the entire part. The BMC guy told the dealer he has...

    Battery percentage stuck at 10%

    I don't know if the dealer played with the firmware or not. If it was firmware then there would be a lot of bikes with this issue so I do would not put my money there. This is very likely hardware related and not firmware.

    Battery percentage stuck at 10%

    Well the dealer went through everything we talked about here. They tried a different battery with no change. They tried a different LCD still no change. Then they tried a different rear wheel and the problem went away. I am a hardware/software tester for the day job. So I more or less came to...

    Battery percentage stuck at 10%

    I ended up dropping the bike off at the dealer today. It did cross my mind to check the connection in the bottom bracket but I did not. If that does end up being the problem I will kick myself. I believe the reason I ruled it out was when the connecton under the neoprene that leads to the BB...

    Battery percentage stuck at 10%

    Oh I see what you are saying. Actually the battery charges fine in the bike, no issues at all. Just after the charge is complete and you turn the computer on it will only read 10%.
