    Stromer ST2020 concept bike - Gates belt drive and 5 speed integrated gearbox

    And here they are: The 60 tooth chainring and the poulie for the belt's tension. Usually, a 52T chainring and a 11 gear pinion are mounted on a Stromer. But how many teeth has the gear pinion on the Gates 2020 Stromer? The 5 Gear Sturmey Archer starts with a direct 3rd gear an makes jumps of...

    Stromer ST2020 concept bike - Gates belt drive and 5 speed integrated gearbox

    Very good question; unfortunataly, I hadn't the time to ask. Let's start from the beginning. Look at the endings of the three screws. This is how the sensor plate on a ST5 is mounted. Then go to page 1 and compare with my first pictures. You'll see, there a three screws at the rear end located...

    Stromer ST2020 concept bike - Gates belt drive and 5 speed integrated gearbox

    The new ST2 will be the all easy simple Stromer. No frills, just riding. This bike is built for people who don't care about the gearing, the shifting and the levers. From this point of view, 5 gears fit well. Important for a Stromer: The large 5th gear to maintain 45km/h. The jump between the...

    Stromer ST2020 concept bike - Gates belt drive and 5 speed integrated gearbox

    As usual from Stromer, a Launch Edition will be the first available new ST2. It will contain these two bags for the rear rack. I expect, a bigger battery than the basic ST2 and this special coloring.

    Stromer ST2020 concept bike - Gates belt drive and 5 speed integrated gearbox

    Finally, I could do a short test ride! Despite only having 5 gears, riding is fun and let feel the typical power of a stromer. Changing the gear upwards under load was possible as well as shifting when already stopped. Instead of the microshift shown in my pictures, the gripshift-like Surmey...

    ST5 owners - Can you maintain 28mph for whole battery?

    There is a huge misunderstanding! I'm talking about power and performance of the ST5 - which is completely independent from the SOC. The SOC - State Of Charge, AKA voltage - is important for the range of the bike. Coming back to the entrance question: Yes, I have to emphasize, you can ride the...

    ST5 owners - Can you maintain 28mph for whole battery?

    This is exactly the opposite of the observations of ST5 owners in Switzerland! And in addition, it also does not fit with my personal experience with the ST5 and ST3.

    Stromer st 1 HEAT warning message

    Yes, why not trade in for a all new ST1 (a superior entry level bike, were only the name is the same)or the upcoming new ST2? I expect, you've read the manual meanwhile and understand the meaning and the function of the display message. The error itself also might be gone, so I just have an...

    ST5 owners - Can you maintain 28mph for whole battery?

    You forget, a Stromer battery's BMS works with temperature sensors. At deep temperatures, all charging (internal and external) is disabled.

    ST5 owners - Can you maintain 28mph for whole battery?

    This will will charge your budget with about 0.025 CHf per day for the new battery. You're able to afford this - as you were able to buy the ST5. At the time, I see no way to overcharge a Stromer battery. If you have found one, please let me know - to tell the people what not to do.

    ST5 owners - Can you maintain 28mph for whole battery?

    Indeed, in the early years of e-bikes, this was an important number. Until some brands offering batteries up to 1'000 full charging cycles. As we talk about a ST5 battery with a typical range around 100km, this would be 100'000km... beyond the Stromer warranty for their batteries (read their...

    ST5 owners - Can you maintain 28mph for whole battery?

    Yes, you can go down to 0% battery without remarkable loss of power. But on low battery, the (S) - mode is disabled. Riding with "all in" settings up to 45km/h, the range will be 50 to 60km. The decreasing voltage is compensated by higher amperage.

    Stromer ST2020 concept bike - Gates belt drive and 5 speed integrated gearbox

    I've taken this picture of the famous solar assisted sailing plane on a Swiss Air Force base. The runway is 3250m long. Enough to accelerate to extreme bike speed - and also enough to do a full braking in a save way. In the most cases, you don't have such a long runway - but all others on the...

    Public Service Announcement - ST5 electronic lock does not work when pushing bike backwards,

    You may secure your expensive bike with the lock you promote. The van will stop next to it, an it takes seconds until the thief has removed it with its hydraulic cutter. Then, he can sell the bike everywhere, no tracking and no motor lock hinders him. Completely different with a Stromer: The...

    Tubeless ready ST5 - Yes!

    Don't try to be a mountain biker. A Stromer is the perfect bike for paved roads - so use it appropriate - with max. pressure in the tires.

    Public Service Announcement - ST5 electronic lock does not work when pushing bike backwards,

    Additionally, I have to say, a real lock is completely useless, when somebody lifts off and carries away your ST5. But a thief can crack a real lock - but never the motor lock - even when you push backwards for 100 miles.
