Based on the maximum speed, sounds like the ST1-Platinum. And it comes with the gold battery, not the purple that came stock on the ST1-Elite.

Joe, sounds like great fun. But ambitious in my opinion. I haven't done anything that long--but last year did the C+O Towpath/GAP Trail from DC to Pittsburgh on my ST1 Platinum. Some of those trails go through some pretty remote areas and some of the C+O Trail can be rough going in the...

I recently bought a Salsa Fargo to ride from Pittsburgh to Paw Paw, WV--about 180 miles. I can camp instead of having to find a B+B, or hostel. E--bikes are great but but problematic for longer journeys. My Salsa is great for longer trips, but use my Stromer for local and in-town rides as I...

Good advice. Will follow your suggestions. I have a multimeter and a simple timer that allows me to set the time in one hour increments. I will see what I can figure out.

One other thing--I assume that if the Luna Cycle chargers are compatible due to the CAN issue, the same would be true with the Grin Satiator?

I hate to hear that! I wish I had followed your advice and set up my XLR plug as an extension cable with an XT60 that would marry up to the one on the Luna Cycle. Beginning to think experiment is going up in smoke. Thanks for the updates.

Hi, yes the old Stromer charger works fine (glad I still have it). I'll double check on the resistor again. I will try your suggestion: plug in charger first, then connect to battery. Worth a try for sure. Thanks for writing. I really want to make it work as I believe it will prolong my very...

Hi, glad to be of help. I didn't have any problems even though the 30 degree option probably raises the handlebar height by 1-1.5" (guessing). I was concerned about that too, but the 30 degree model has worked out perfectly. I guess the Stromer gearshift and brake cables are generous enough in...

Wanted to update you on my quest to use a 36V Luna Cycle charger in place of the stock Stromer charger that came with my ST-1. I took my Stromer and my Luna Cycle charger to a local guy who does electronic repairs. I asked him to open the housing on the Stromer plug, make note of the wiring and...

The Stromer Racktime pannier rack is what it is--but it doesn't belong on a bike as substantial as a Stromer. I replaced it with a much sturdier Racktime rack that can comfortably support 60 lbs. and have filled the panniers (Ortlieb Back Rollers) with 2-3 additional batteries, charger...

Thomas, will do it for sure. Give me about a week and I will post the details.

Wow, I appreciate it very much Thomas. Just saw your postings. I just posted an update 5 minutes ago. Took a different approach as I wanted to keep my Stromer charger and its XLR plug as a backup if needed in the future--decided against chopping it off and connecting the other end to the XT60...

Hi, I recently bought a LunaCycle 36V charger to use in place of my Stromer ST-1 charger. Why? With Stromer batteries being so expensive, I want to maximize the life of each of the 4 I have (I do long trips) and only charge the batteries up to 90% to prolong their lives. I disassembled the XLR...

Pretty rough, sometimes dangerous. Been to Philly and would say very comparable.

That's great, congrats. Instead of front shocks, you might consider the Redshift Shockstop handlebar stem. I added one to my ST1 and especially on long rides of 30+ miles it really absorbs a lot of the vibration and bumps on roads and trails. To each their own, but I also recommend the...

Thanks, I may be missing something, but it seems to be different on the ST-1. Anyone got any ideas on switching back to imperial from metric? Thanks, SP

Thanks, taking battery in to dealer today. It's still under warranty so hoping they'll sort it out or replace it if necessary.

Somehow all my mileage info has gone from miles to kilometers--how can I switch it back?

I have had my share of issues with my Stromer ST-1 Elite and the Platinum they replaced it with due to intermittent electrical issues. My Elite was ridden 1800 miles, and my Platinum has 1900 miles on it. The Platinum has been totally reliable until yesterday. Took off on a 15 mile ride--the...

In answer to my own question from a few months back, the answer is yes, Stromer now has a new higher capacity battery that fits the ST-1--that's right, the ST-1. The part number is BO-630. It is the same size, shape as the purple 396 Ah and gold 522 Ah hour batteries, but it's capacity is 630 Ah...
