    Taking ST1 on 7 day trip--Hitch-Mount Rack and Rain?

    That looks like a good solution. How tough is it? If I really strapped it down tightly do you think it would hold up well on a 2200 mile trip on the back of our Prius? Thanks.

    Taking ST1 on 7 day trip--Hitch-Mount Rack and Rain?

    We're going on a 2200 mile trip through the UP in Michigan, northern Wisconsin, Minneapolis at the end of September. We have a Prius with a Thule hitch-mounted rack. I am wondering whether I am asking for trouble if I take the Stromer and we go through some heavy rainstorms during the...

    Stromer ST2 Pulsing (Please vote)

    Hi Professor, Thanks for responding, and I take your posting in the spirit in which it was intended. But I am sure the problem I am encountering isn't my leg strength or being overtired. The first time it occurred was on my longest ever ride--61 miles mostly level on the Little Miami Trail...

    Stromer ST2 Pulsing (Please vote)

    I have experienced what I think you're describing on my last three rides (each between 15 and 20 miles) will cruising along between 12 and 15 mph in Eco, City, and Tour modes on flat land on my ST1, with 2 different batteries. Everything is going fine but it begins to feel like you're suddenly...

    Any upgrades to Stromer ST1?

    I took your advice and ordered the Ibera RA5 rack and a pair of extension support rods. I am little confused--will it come with an ABS plastic mounting block to attach to the frame--and if so, is it any good? Or, will I have to do what it sounds like you did--have a tapped aluminum block insert...

    New ST-1: battery life?

    I just did two more rides in the past 24 hours--on one, I went 20.6 miles, with about 600 feet in elevation gain. Tried to limit myself to ECO and CITY power settings--only used POWER setting on a couple of very long, steep hills--and again the bike and I combined weigh 290 lbs. At the end I had...

    New ST-1: battery life?

    Thanks, much appreciated. It's been raining nonstop for 3 days but hope to get out and keep riding this evening. Good to know to expect the battery to go dead at around 7-10%. I have the regular battery--actually, I have two of the regular batteries as Stromer is running a free 11.5 battery at...

    New ST-1: battery life?

    Love my ST-1. I rode 15 miles, 650 ft. elevation gain. I weigh 225. At end of ride I had 34% of battery left. Guessing I could have gotten 21-22 miles out of it. I know I am a "load" but does that sound right? Got a small amount of juice back from braking. Also, for someone my size: what would...
