Ha! I run a recording studio, and when I downsized a couple of years ago to a much smaller studio, I bought myself an espresso machine as a consolation moving gift. It’s a Racncillio Epoca S1. I’d put that on the same list as the ST2. I love great espresso and I’m thankful every time I make...

The purchase worked out well. I've had is for just under three months and just over a thousand miles. Without question it has been the single best purchase I have ever made. I've lost more than 25lbs doing what feels like nothing but fun. I go places I wouldn't go in the car because of...

A question for other tire-liner users: Does keeping tires inflated to higher pressures reduce the chance of pinch flats from tire liners? It seems that if there is less movement of the tube within the tire due to being fully inflated there would be less opportunity for chafing and pinching. I...

Mine never ran in reverse, but like a lot of other people's bikes, mine shipped with a faulty motor control cable. There is a video on Youtube that shows how to do the repair yourself, and if you have a decent stand and the necessary tools, you can do the swap in under an hour. Most of the...

Between a suspension seatpost and a new set of Baramind BAM trekking handlebars I no longer wish I had a suspension fork. The seatpost does the bulk of the work, but the handlebars have completely mitigated my numb hands and sore neck/ shoulders/ back.

I got a flat on my rear tire about 100 miles in to owning my ST2. I had added orange seal to the original tube, but the nail I ran over went straight in and punctured the tube from the front as well as the side that contacts the rim. When I replaced the tube, I used a pre-filled Slime tube and...

I remember reading somewhere that Stromer saddles were made by Ergon. Is the saddle in the link a different design then the one came stock on the ST2?

They do. Price for the handlebars and shipping was $100. I received them 5 days after I placed the order.

The friend who has offered to help me is a graduate student at the University of Vermont. While he has access to the lab it's not something he offers as a public service. He needs permission from the Dean and his advisor. Here is a company that offers the service commercially who you might...

There is a thread on Reddit about the Litelock that you should probably read . The video sums it up pretty well, but the reaction by the manufacturer was what convinced me to not back it. The Abus Bordo 6500 that was mentioned already is a good choice. The Foldylock is another decent option...

Am I correct in assuming that there is no mechanical odometer on an ST2? My bike has very poor GSM service at my house. I noticed today when I got to work that my Stromer app said I had ridden 1 mile. My house is about 5 miles away. There is no reason for me suspect that this is the first...

I bought a rear trunk bag on ebay made by a company called "Cool Change". I have no idea why they put so little effort (or so much effort?) into naming things stupid names. Also- an update on the Baramind BAM Trek handlebars: They are worth every penny. I've been riding with them for almost...

A lot of folks here have commented on the stiffness of the Stromers without any suspension. The carbon fork on my ST2 allegedly helps absorb vibrations better than aluminum, but that's not saying a whole lot. Even though I got a spectacular deal on my ST2 (Thank you Crazy Lenny's!!) I spent...

I haven't done the trip yet. A friend and I are riding from Northern Vermont to Portland, Me. in September. I put the Ebay battery in to regular rotation with the battery that came with the bike. It definitely doesn't have the range of the new one, but it's better than I first assessed. It's...

This is the full answer to the problem. There is a video on youtube demonstrating exactly how to do the repair. If you're mechanically inclined and patient it's not too difficult. As I mentioned in an earlier post, removing the battery sleeve (or "wicket" as I just learned) is far and away...

I bought the Ractime quick release adapter from a British ebay vendor (I live in the U.S.). It was around $30- I can't remember exactly, and the shipping was just as much. It is a frame that slides in to the existing Stromer rack. It comes with 4 mounting screws to attach it to whatever you'd...

Thanks for the response. My guess is that CAN bus, which is the standard used in larger EVs including cars and trucks, is a more robust protocol involving some kind of BMS that requires a connection to all 6 pins in order to pass current. I don't know. It's just a guess. As soon as I put the...

I bought a used gold 814Wh battery on ebay as a secondary battery for my ST2. While it doesn't have the capacity of the new one that came with the bike, it seems to be somewhere around 80% of the fresh one. According to the Omni App, the health of both batteries is described as "Very Good"...

John- I see a rack stay attached to the seat post in the last photo. Is that just reinforcing the original rack or did you change the rack altogether? If it's a different rack, what is it and were you able to attach it easily? Thanks!

I don't think manufacturing ebikes in the U.S. is a real possibility. The proposed tariffs might help raise import prices, but labor costs in the U.S. compared to China or and of the developing Asian countries would make it extremely difficult to compete. We have a choice: we can either get...
