I have experience with that bike. It is a good upright-style city bike at a good price. If you got a discount from MSRP then it is a good deal! You probably cannot get the 500Wh as an upgrade from a dealer, as the bike ships with the 400Wh battery. But if you could, I would. Probably would cost...

Traditional bikes are great. I still ride both mountain and road when I have the time. I prefer ebikes for getting places and carrying cargo, day in day out. And especially for navigating areas where there are cars. I do ride ebikes recreationally sometimes too, specifically when I want to do a...

Just having the longer bar may not require a different set-up with the stem. Unless you want to change that. You have to figure out what you want to accomplish as to where your hand position will be. If you don't want the bar to be so long, you can always cut it down. But figure out what you...

Go into a shop and test ride some bikes. And ask them about the warranty and how they support the warranty. Don't be in a big rush. If you do not already know what you want, it will be really hard to figure it out online. Reviews are interesting, but they don't tell the whole story. Which is how...

Bikes aren't sold by weight, they are sold by performance divided by how many miles/kms you do it for. What they can do for a person and how pleasant it is for the person doing it. They are the most efficient form of transportation humanity has yet invented. A cheaper bike that doesn't get...

Thanks for the detailed information, much appreciated!

Which Fox shock did you put on your ST2? Did you keep the front fender, and if so, how did you attach it to the fork?

Thanks for the clarification on this JayVee. I was unaware of the differences you highlight between existing and proposed legislation. Will have to pay attention to the legislation as it develops. From the perspective of transportation use here in the USA (admittedly a small demographic) the...

If I understand correctly (a big if!) the new Giro Bexley is compliant, the Camden too I believe. The Abus helmet is called the Pedelec+, marketed as a "speed pedelec" helmet compliant with the new euro regs. All offer definitively more coverage in the back and sides vs. a regular bike helmet...

I have seen L1e-b compliant helmets from Abus and Giro, and they are hardly to be construed as motorcycle helmets. I wouldn't mind them at all. Certainly not if it made the difference in being able to get around on a Stromer or not. Of course, here in the USA the majority of people do wear...

Interesting chart, thank you for posting.

It can do it, easily, in the highest level of assist. I can attest to it personally. You will have to pedal, but I think athlete is quite a stretch. True, you won't be going 28 up a steep hill. Into a moderate headwind I think it is doable. There is so much more to the speed a bike travels than...

At that price point I would look for a used Stromer ST1 Platinum. Does 28 very nicely.

The American way?

Buy from a dealer that can do any warranty service on Stromers. That would not be REI as far as I know. Also, test ride one and compare to other bikes. You'll be glad you did.

If you think about it, it would be impossible to have a lower peak power output while maintaining the same peak torque in a gearless direct-drive hub motor (assuming identical motor dimensions.) Torque = force x leverage if I am not mistaken.

You should check your battery status in the Stromer OMNI app. Also have your dealer check the battery health in the Stromer portal. Your range is low unless you are doing lots of uphill fast in level 3. Stromer says you should get 37 in level 3 with the blue battery. In my experience it is a...

I assume you have the gold 814 Wh battery? If so your range of 28 - 35 in level 3 is exactly what you would expect. Maybe a bit better. I don't think the displayed battery percentage on the OMNI is all that accurate. On mine anyway it isn't. I have seen the same "jumping up" after rides...

Update...the battery is definitely ok and definitely 983. Range is actually slightly better than expected, maybe 10%. The only possible explanation for the issue described in my original post is a measurement error in battery consumption on the part of the Stromer app. This is consistent with...

A couple of points. The bike would not be a street-legal ebike anywhere in the USA. And would have to be represented as such by any ethical seller. Once you do that your potential customer base shrinks by 90% most likely. The LBS doing what you suggest would also be responsible for an implied...
