Very interesting but two things worry me, the beam construction/ lack of triangulation and the French built motor....is it a proven reliable motor?
Might be great or ??,
Would it be correct that the Stromer system actually prolongs chain/ sprocket intervals ?
—Compared to non assisted pedal power wear: as the boost from the hub sort of balances the the torque/pull from the chain??
You are pulling chain forward with drive but motor is powering wheel forward which...
Thank you. I am wondering if they will be hosting another demo release for the belt drive model.
I will call them.
Considering for my wife as ST2-S intimidates her.
Which Colorado Stromer dealer had a launch party for ST5 release, many months ago. They were probably first to have it, did test rides, etc.
Thanks for any help.
How is E-bike , road biking in Prescott, AZ?
I seem to recall very curvy narrow roads???
How bike friendly are road rides out of town??
I’d guess E mtn bikes would be awesome there.
I understand Prescott is world class mtn bike area, correct?
Minnesota winters suck!
Where is the DI2 charge port on the ST5?
I cannot find that info in the ST3/ST5 owners manual. After 4 readings, I still see not even a mention of Di2....☹️
On my ST2-S , the port is on the Di2 gear indicator.
ST5 is unfortunately without that indicator and port isn’t on the gear changer...
I watched the video and it was very informative.
Ravi, on a real world example:
The top shelf Stromer battery is 983 wh and is quite heavy and is certainly expensive at $2000.
If 4680 batteries were used in that sized shell (as close as possible):
What watt hours could it have?
What...
With the bigger air volume, can you run lower air pressure on ST5 tires?
What is the official tire pressure range?
What are you owners finding best for front and rear pressure?
Bluecat??
Does this have a tall 5th gear?
At least as tall as ST2-S 11th?
And a really low 1st gear?
Low low for really steep uphills and tall high gear for downhill speed runs??
I wish it had a 7 speed but a wide 5 might suffice.
Would love a belt drive Stromer!!
Just had my interview. It was just a chat about different E-Bike issues. Glad we can help with their endeavor.
Wishing Lucie and Jonathan well .
Definitely legit, for those wondering about this interview.
My ST2-S popped the mounting assembly for the rear fender, where the top tube meets the seat stay. I have the Stromer rear rack, had a chunky load
on the rack, and hit some real choppy pavement at speed. Fender pushed downward and popped the bolt/screw/assembly.
I got a new assembly sent but it...
