What Shea says. 30 degree slopes, like, double black diamond ski slope aggressive. Also, most dirt can't sustain a much higher slope (without landsliding down to something closer to 30). I can't imagine a paved road that sustains such a slope for a mile, if for no other reason than it would...

Thanks Noreen for these comments. Yours gave me the confidence to proceed. I obatined a standard Burley (new style) hitch from Amazon and proceeded to fit it to the rear axle. It turns out there is room for it, but I elected to remove the two lock washers that were previously the only thing...

Hey guys, Just got an ST1! Have clarifying question about adding trailer hitch. In my case, it's a Burley forged one like this: http://amzn.com/B001GSMUDA. Question is, is there room on the rear axle to put this hitch between the bolt and the frame? Sorry if that question doesn't use the...

I suspected you might tell me that, Chris. My intuition has been that I should try to get one of these even if there is a slightly greater risk of hassle if I have a problem. The cost is not particularly an object, although I like deals. I live in Colorado and also in San Mateo. There is an...

Thanks for the feedback, guys. I'm definitely on the fence.

Hi all, I've test-ridden most of the bikes my local shop carries. They've been great at being patient with me. I enjoyed the Stromer ST1, and they also have a "prototype ST2" that was fun as well. But I really like the feel of the lighter Haibike, especially the hard tail. Just less weight...

On a modern, high-end bike like a Stromer, it's almost for sure that when it says "100%" on the display, the real SOC is being managed to something lower than the absolute peak. It doesn't take too much backing off from crazy-full to realize a lot of benefit and get good cycle counts out of...

All of the (common) lithium chemistries perform better if the SOC is kept in a safe energy band, say roughly between 20% and 90% of capacity. All (common) lithium chemistries also are happiest at in a thermal band roughly between 0C and 70-ish C. Get too hot, and charge transfer becomes...
