    ST2 battery compartment can't close without battery?

    With the battery out, Theft Mode also doesn't work, which means commuters lose this feature if they take their batteries with them into the office for a recharge without swapping in a spare. At first this bothered me, but then I remembered a battery half full attitude has its advantages.

    Software bug reporting ST2

    Like any computer, sometimes things happen where it just needs a reboot. This happened with my ST2 in the beginning and may have related to new software being auto downloaded into the bike. There was one update from Stromer this summer that had bad code and could not be fixed with a simple...

    ST2 battery compartment can't close without battery?

    Stromer manual says never transport the bike with the battery in the compartment: "In order to transport the ST2 with your car, always remove the battery from the battery box and transport it separately. The ST2 lithium-ion battery has a capacity of 814 Wh and is considered dangerous goods...

    Stromer ST2 Pulsing (Please vote)

    I have an ST2 Sport and my wife has an ST2 Comfort. We don't have pulsing problems. I've never bought a new car that didn't have a warranty issue at some point, so I wouldn't be disappointed about having to take a Stromer into the shop. A Stromer, like a car, utilizes sophisticated...

    Stromer license plate bracket

    Does anyone know where the license plate bracket for the Stromer fender can be purchased in the U.S.? Stromer's U.S. headquarters said they do not carry this item in the U.S., referring me to my dealer to try to locate one or something else that works. I didn't get the sense they wanted to...

    Does anyone know what size seatpost collar the Stromer requires?

    Maybe they shipped you the 29.8mm version of this Axiom collar by mistake. Have you measured it?

    Tricking up the down tube

    That's an Abus Bordo Granit X-Plus 6500 white folding lock. The French site xxcycle.com was selling them in twin sets for a decent price even when considering paying overseas shipping. Their twin sets appear to be temporarily out of stock right now. The advantage of buying a twin set is they...

    Thule easy fold 9032

    EasyFold is easy to use, plus it tilts backwards with both Stromers on it to open the rear hatch of my Volvo XC60. ST2 Comfort faces left with short arm holding the seat tube. ST2 Sport faces right with the long arm holding the seat tube. Nice locking system at hitch and on arm clamps...

    Tricking up the down tube

    Thanks Ravi for the pics! @GW Shark put down some fantastic red lines. Too bad we can't redline our ST2s above 28mph.

    Tricking up the down tube

    It takes 1/2 inch pin stripes and an X-ACTO knife to do the trick.

    Got my 1st "cheater" shout today

    I named my ST2 "Bob Dylan". Remember what happened to him when he went electric?

    Bike Lock Mount on ST2

    Congrats on buying a ST2 comfort. Your options for carrying a Ulock may be limited to a rear trunk bag like an Ortlieb trunk bag with a Racktime adapter assuming the Ulock fits inside the bag (not sure what your dimensions are). Whether or not you want to carry a lock this way, the Racktime...

    Ebike mirror for my ST2

    On my ST2, I like the Busch & Müller 701 Mirror for E-Bikes 913701VLME because it folds when I'm parked and the extra distance it provides on the handlebar seems to keep cars further away. Another option is the Ergotec M-99 mirror from Humpert, part number 65174, which requires a bar end...

    Seat Post sliding down

    See if removing the seat tube's plastic shim (or collar), degreasing it, and reinstalling it "dry" helps, after you degrease the shaft of the thudbuster, body float or seat, of course. With a plastic shim (collar), the bike shouldn't need grease in this location. Beyond that, you may need to...

    Stromer ST2 Pulsing (Please vote)

    When I had the problem after taking delivery of my ST2, I increased the torque sensor to 75%, which took care of the problem in power mode 3 for my style of riding, which is pedaling in consistent circles. If that doesn't work, move it up to 80 or 85% and see if that works better for your...
