Yeah, the reviews for the sport aren't great, but I do see he has an 2016 izip e3 zuma for about 980....seems to have great reviews, but I don't know how it stacks up to the ST1. The St1 was the 1st ebike I've ever ridden, and it was pretty phenomenal

Yeah, in pretty conflicted at this point. I'm tempted to contact him and tell him I'm still interested, but also found some sweet deals in Wisconsin with a warranty....given its not for the St1, but still some great deals. My one fear is other issues per age along with having to get a new battery.

Thanks for the wonderful suggestions, BTB. I really wish I would have come here before discussing the bike purchase with them. Some really good info from here.

That's actually a great idea I hadn't considered. Would you have an idea about difference of dealer cost as opposed to retail?

The brother i spoke to was very honest, and just a great guy...part of the reason i am reconsidering the purchase is based on his upfront honesty. He really hid nothing and admitted when he was unsure about something.

Thanks!..really appreciate the insightful post. Another poster sent me a link to a bike shop in Wisconsin selling demo bikes at some great prices, and with warranties. They have a Stromer Sport V1 with 22 miles on it for about 980. I don't know much about the model, but get the impression it's...

I can definitely get by on 20mph, but an additional 800 for a new battery on a 3 year old rental bike is a little rough..almost seems as if that 2k would be best put for a new bike with warranty. It wouldn't be a Stromer, but there is a lot to be said about peace of mind.

Oh I see. It's possible that the number may be off?

So the battery would be the main concern, as opposed to the engine and other components?

Thanks for the reply. Not sure if we have any Stromer shops here in Chicago.

Hello, Ann, and 2011 was an error on my part, the battery I'd assume as 2013. Thanks for the information. I think I'll hold off on the purchase for a ebike with a warranty....The Elite was a thing of joy to ride though.

Great response, and thanks for that information. I think I'll exercise patience, and put away for something new that has a warranty. Thanks so much!

Thanks for the reply, Ann, your post is greatly appreciated. The bike is a 2013 model, so I think the battery is about 3 years old. From your post it sounds like it would be a bad idea?.......I'm assuming you would not purchase it if in my position?

I read that somewhere, and would prefer the Elite based on hills, along with speed restrictions / budget. They really do seem like nicely made bikes.

That's a good point I didn't consider, Brian. He stated he's had it for a couple years, but was unsure of a lot partly based on the rental aspects of the bike, and having so many to juggle. I rode it for about 20 minutes with no problem, but have no real frame of reference based on my limited...

Thanks greatly for the response, Brian. That really gives me something to consider, since the bike is a 2013 model....The battery replacement would run me 700 dollars. It would almost be better to purchase a 1500 new Radrover / Radwagon.

This is the 3rd time I've posted what seems like a fairly simple question for people more educated on ebikes and the St1 than myself to the forum and received zero advice :( i have till Tuesday for the offer on this bike and would really appreciate any advice/ opinion from those more...

Hello eveyone, I am new to the forum, and new to e-bikes. A family business her in Chicago is selling their rental fleet of Stromer st1 Elites.....the bike I'm looking at has 1674 miles on the odomoter, some physical scuffing, but seems to ride nice (my limited knowledge)....there is no warranty...
