Comparing a Stromer 500 watt (ST2-S) to a Trek TQ 250 watt mid ?? Anybody experience both? I just tested a Trek TQ mtn bike…TQ, weighs 20 pounds less so expected decent performance. I thought the acceleration and performance were well below my expectations… The TQ was quiet and smooth, but...

Comparing a Stromer 500 watt (ST2-S) to a Trek Duplicate post, sorry

Years ago had a modulating motorcycle headlight. More than once, a car in front of me pulled over, thinking I was police…… And I usually let them off without a ticket, if a bribe was offered jk 😉 💰

Bright lights in daylight really get attention and add a big safety boost…. not perfect but every bit helps. My Stromer has Supernova M99 Pro headlight and taillight. On a charity ride with “crossing guards” at busy highways a guard stopped me to say that he saw me coming a half mile away! Big...

Anyone with a Stromer, especially ST2-S or ST5, also have experience with the lightweight and lower power speed bikes like the Domane + lineup? The 2023 Domane + with TQ motor seems like a real winner. Anyone with TQ experience? I find most mids loud compared to Stromer hub so that supposed...

TQ Motor off resistance: I saw one tech article on the TQ system which said the only drag without motor was the case seals. They said it was very little drag.

True, but trying to balance the “mids are better mantra” , when they don’t compare best mids to best hubs. Mid lovers go with generalizations that mids are better, period. I would agree that many mids work better but comparing best mids to best hubs….. one needs to take a long hard look at...

As a analog road biker who rode 6000 miles a year, in Minnesota with a 7 month season, I know very well how to shift a manual bike tranny. I will repeat my experience of testing all brands and never finding a mid that feels as natural as my hub Stromers. It feels like you with the legs of Mark...

The video seemed to not tell the whole story, showed a bias toward mid drives. If you are buying an E bike, not building, and it’s a road bike/ not a mtn E bike, then it’s a much different comparison. I disagree with a couple important points: - Mids are more reliable … can break chains but...

Hi, I have a couple rides in on my new ST2-S , stored from new until recently. Damn, it is a urban warrior that is fast and agile. On street bike lanes and bike paths that were like roller coasters in the woods, it rocked. 22 mph average speed and a really fun ride. I just sold my other ST2-S...

Pedal power rules, and with supplemental battery power that feels like it is all you, that is the ultimate E bike or E kayak. Stromer has that feel dialed in.

We now need a Red Bull E-kayak that utilizes that big boy ST7 battery….and has a supplemental pedal system to jointly power a propeller.

I was hoping to find something a step down from full ski goggles.

Hi, any recommendations for a good Rx goggle for high speed cruising? As weather gets cooler, my eyes start to water when temps are in 40s F and riding mid 20s mph. I thought my F8 glasses would work but not as temps fall. Thanks

Stromer US shows ABS as standard equipment on ST7. Makes sense as their flagship model.

Hi, I know nothing about that swap BUT wanted to chime in on how much I love the Supernova M99 Pro light. It has become a must have. During the day, it is a great safety addition as cars can really see it! On a bike tour with “busy road crossing guides” , one stopped me to say he saw me...

A belt drive mtn bike appeals to me for low maintenance/ long life in harsh / dirty/ dusty/ muddy conditions. Note: for non technical mtn biking. How long do chains/ cassettes last on a high powered mid drive E mtn bike?? With all that extra power going thru the drivetrain, and often dirty...

Coming from Speedplay Zeroes to my E bike: Thought tennis shoes might work but no…. Some foot pain on 75 mile rides. Five Ten Freerider Pro fixed that and off bike walking is ok with them. Foot position is still experimental. It seems like having the foot more forward on the pedal/ ball of foot...

Stromer has said there will be new models and somewhere I saw a Sept 7 date but cannot find it again. Anyone know if Sept 7 will be an announcement day ?? Thanks
