    New Stromer flagship ST7

    I suppose there’s this option: https://www.etrailer.com/tv-review-hollywood-racks-sport-rider-se-2-electric-bike-rack-hr77fr.aspx It supports two 80lb bikes.

    New Stromer flagship ST7

    Speaking of the ABS braking system... do you know if the ABS is included with the USA version of the ST7? In some articles I read they mentioned ABS is an optional feature, but it wasn't listed as an option when I ordered it.

    New Stromer flagship ST7

    Congratulations to you, too! I hope we both enjoy our ST7s. I'll begin my weightlifting fitness program right away so I can bulk up and lift the 82lb bike onto my rack and bring it home from the dealer :)

    At the 45-second mark in this video... is that really what the horn sounds like?

    New Stromer flagship ST7

    I placed my order for the ST7 today with both the seatpost and front suspension. My dealer here in San Francisco told me it will likely arrive in early January. I haven’t actually seen one yet other than in videos. I’m hoping the gold color isn’t too ostentatious! I love my ST5 and my main...

    ST5 motor stopped working, E 210101 code, works after some time

    That’s pretty strange. I also have an ST5 from The New Wheel and have had the sensor problem (that Stromer themselves caused with a bad firmware update) and once, when I removed the battery, the OMNI unit died when I put the battery back in. The OMNI had to be replaced, of course. In fact, with...

    Stromer App 3g to 4g upgrade?

    I had to bug my dealer a few times over a couple of months, so they wouldn't forget.

    Stromer App 3g to 4g upgrade?

    In the USA, they are upgrading OMNIs from 3G to 4G now. I bought my ST5 about a year ago and they upgraded mine this week at no charge.

    Omni screen blank white

    Yes, it was a bummer that this happened. I spoke to my dealer yesterday and I'll have my bike back tomorrow with a new Omni unit (the electronic brain of the bike). All told, I was without my bike for six days. So, I'm not complaining (assuming it all goes according to plan) since it was time...

    Omni screen blank white

    Yes, agreed. Riding a Stromer is a special experience. I took it to my dealer, and they also thought it would require an OMNI replacement, as yours did. Mine is 4 only months old, and I've put about 900 miles on it. Hopefully it will get a new brain and be ready to go like new. When you got...

    Omni screen blank white

    Thank you for letting me know. My ST5 is only a few months old, so also under warranty, and you confirmed my suspicion it may be a catastrophic failure in the Omni electronics. I love riding this bike and hope I’m back riding it soon. 😢

    Omni screen blank white

    Aargh! The dreaded blank white screen happened to my ST5 today, and I don't have a clue what to do to resolve it. This is what happened. My insurance company called and wanted the VIN for my bike, so after an hour-long ride, I removed the battery since that's where the VIN is, and when I put...

    ST5 vs Riese & Muller mid drive for hills

    This reminds me of how I got my ST5. I had taken my R&M Superdelite in for its first scheduled maintenance in San Francisco, and I since I live about 30 miles away, I asked if I could borrow a bike to ride around Golden Gate Park until my bike was ready. The dealer loaned me an ST3. After a few...

    ST5 vs Riese & Muller mid drive for hills

    Yes, the Bosch motor does indeed feel like that. My local dealer told me he loves his Stromer because is it feels like a real bicycle. You get out of it what you put into it.

    ST5 owners - Can you maintain 28mph for whole battery?

    I didn't know there is a thermal limit, too. It is possible (likely?) that was the reason as the motor was at 82 degrees Celsius when I got home!

    ST5 owners - Can you maintain 28mph for whole battery?

    Yes, yesterday I experienced the disabled S mode when my battery was in the low 40% range. I was a bit surprised it would become disabled with so much battery life remaining. Perhaps it disables below 50%? When it happened I thought it was a bug in the software until I saw bluecat’s post here.

    ST5 vs Riese & Muller mid drive for hills

    Yes, I fully agree with Johnny. You can get your ST5 to 30 mph or a bit over, but frankly anything over 28 mph rapidly loses motor assistance and suddenly it becomes a 65 lb. bike with only your legs doing the work. So, while I often get my ST5 over 30 mph for short distances, you shouldn't...

    ST5 vs Riese & Muller mid drive for hills

    There’s finally a good explanation from Stromer of the ST5 sensor settings in the Omni app and what they actually do.

    ST5 vs Riese & Muller mid drive for hills

    I have both of those bikes (ST5 and Superdelite). I generally ride on similar, traffic-laden types of streets like you, and hard stops are pretty common. On a hard stop, the ST5 sometimes locks up the rear wheel and it does a bit of a sideways slide, but I’ve never felt or feared a loss of...
