    Stromer ST2 Firmware Update

    Oops, forgot to mention that error message, I figured if I didn't see 4-5 times I could ignore it. Just curious, did your bike screen flash wildly during the updating process?

    Stromer ST2 Firmware Update

    I made it to the other side with my ST2 V2 update on both bike and IOS. I've been looking for the firmware update on my bike and the new app at the App Store since I received the text regarding the upgrade on Friday. I lost the ability to connect to my ST2 via the older app sometime after that...

    ST 2 Bike Trailer??

    Quick update on the trailer project. I took my ST2 and Radical Design trailer out for an initial testing last Sunday. Both performed flawlessly. 25 miles riding exclusively in assist level 1 consumed just 30% of the battery capacity. Conditions were ideal with only a slight headwind at...

    ST 2 Bike Trailer??

    By no means a thorough test but i did put 15 miles on the new Robert Project axle yesterday. It was a day time ride, there was a light breeze and my outer shell jacket made flapping noises so its hard to say for sure but I could not tell any difference between the stock axle and the RP axle...

    ST 2 Bike Trailer??

    I haven't rode on mine yet so I'm anxious to see if I experience a similar squeak. My axle came with two spacers, one squared off and one beveled, a flat washer and a locknut. I used the squared off spacer (non beveled) which when placed alongside the original axle matched the length/space...

    ST 2 Bike Trailer??

    That's a good question, I was wondering how BOB like trailer would attach to the Stromer since the rear axle on the drive side of the ST2 doesn't exit the frame. It looks like Robert Axles has BOB style axles but the only solution I can think of, which makes me weak in the knees to even...

    Anyone using the schwalbe Supreme 2.0 Tire

    I'm sold on the Body Float seat post; in fact I'm looking at adding one to my traditional vintage Trek touring bike as well.

    Anyone using the schwalbe Supreme 2.0 Tire

    Actually I was using the Schwalbe Marathon Deluxe skins. They were a little pricey but nice and somewhat different. They also provided lots additional fender to tire clearance. Here are the notes I took last August while I was trying them out Tire Experiment My ST2 was filthy today so I...

    ST 2 Bike Trailer??

    Totally jazzed and totally untested...but not for long I'm adding a trailering capability to my ST2. Forever I have schemed to add a trailer to my touring stable and lately the Radical Design Cyclone IV Treking has been tempting me. I have done many a mile on single and tandem bikes laden with...

    E-bike mirror - a good one!

    I paid more for the shipping to the US but I really like this mirror. Fits into the end of the bar and is very unobtrusive but provides a great view and folds in when not in use. http://en.hollandbikeshop.com

    Software bug reporting ST2

    I've had a similar issue on a rare occasion. It seems to happen when I am attempting to top off a charge (starting at 80% or above) or when I mix up the sequence of connecting the bike to the charger and the charger into the outlet. The fix is as you described, simply remove the battery and...

    Help requested re: whether to buy an ST2

    @Jonah. I've had my ST2 since late June and absolutely love it. I just crossed over the 1000 mile mark and have had zero problems other than those attributed to "operator error". As for the pulsing I can only say from my experience that yes when I reach speeds around 28 mph or I go from...

    Need help with recommendation cargo e-bike for hills.

    I agree with Ravi's recommendation of The New Wheel Bike Shop in SF. Karen and Brett have a great shop and are good folks who really know ebikes. Their selection of bikes and accessories is impressive and their store is nicely done. http://newwheel.net/

    Perspective on the ST2

    Hey 86, regarding your odometer comment. It's not entirely intuitive but the main "ride" screen on the bike does scroll through 2 other screens by pressing on it. Your on-bike trip odometer is there. See below.

    Issue or User Error

    I follow a similar process with my ST2 to what Rick describes. Bike = OFF > Plug into on-bike first > Plug into wall second. I too have notice some very sporadic bugginess but can't say what it is with any consistency. The charger comes on in a orange and green combo of lights which appears...

    Body Float / Thudbuster for ST2

    Add me to the Body Float crowd. I think it's great with the NOS Brooks I changed to. Together they are very comfortable. Be sure to get the right springs and tuning for your weight.

    Got my 1st "cheater" shout today

    Perhaps my daughters original suggestion of "caveman" still applies. Or maybe her other suggestion, which I hesitated to post before, may be more appropriate. "Kiss my eButt"
