    Torque rating on E-bikes - marketing gimmick?

    Smitty, I have ST2-S and ST-5. Are you anywhere near Minnesota as you could try when the snow is gone. I think both are flagship models. I was thinking of starting a post on ST2-S vs ST5? You had ST2, not ST2-S? MinnBobber

    Stromer CR65 charger?

    Can the small European charger, I think it is CR65 , be used in US with a Euro prong to US prong adapter on it? All my tiny chargers have 110-240 V type range. Will that small Stromer Euro charger work in US? A small charger to pack on bike for trips would be nice. Anybody in US have their...

    Stromer ABS ??

    Motorcycle ABS systems can make use of gyroscopes and accelerometers. They can be computer coordinated with the bike systems to provide anti-wheelie protection and anti-stoppie protection. If a wheelie is imminent they can reduce engine power to lower the acceleration forces. If they detect a...

    Stromer ABS ??

    Thank Thank you for this clarification @bluecat !!! I was hoping for a gyro system as straight ABS would seem to increase the probability of a front flip as it provides maximum braking force, with the high center of gravity on a Stromer, this max deceleration would equal front flip. If the...

    21700 battery cost vs 18650?

    As 21700 battery packs come to E bikes, will they be more or less expensive than 18650 packs? …For same watt hour capacity . Battery costs continue to decrease but will there be an initial up charge for 21700? What companies have 21700 batteries in the pipeline? I believe Stromer will such in...

    Stromer ABS ??

    My concern is that an ABS system COULD make emergency braking front flips more likely AS it gives one maximum braking force……does that equal more flip forces? A skidding tire (no ABS) has less traction so less front flip forces??? but skidding tire certainly can foster other loss of control...

    Stromer ABS ??

    Their ABS is said to have “roll-over protection when brakes fully applied”. Does this mean it can prevent the deadly front flip in an emergency braking situation? That is more important to me vs anti skidding of front tire. Anyone know?? Thanks

    Some questions about Stromer (model choice, belt drive, fork selection, battery, etc)

    Alex, I find that the top level Stromers are just so awesome, that they draw me in. The ST2-S and ST-5 with Di2 instant shifting make for a unmatched experience of high speed commuting. 15 miles is just a short hop. What state are you in? You could possibly try my ST2-S or ST5 …I am in MN Top...

    New Stromer ST3 with Pinion C1.9 and Gates carbon belt

    Any idea when this will be available for US customers??? I am currently looking at a ST5 LTD and might hold off if this was available soon. Hopefully, this will be a super-cruiser like the ST2-S and ST5….super smooth and quiet at 45 km per hour, and quick acceleration. I know nothing about...
