    Stromer rear rack: adding a firm platform?

    Thanks. I'm looking for a rear trunk platform. It would mount like a rear trunk (not pannier) on top of the narrow ST2 framework. A bigger flat platform with multiple slots/holes to bunji a backpack or a small bag of groceries etc.

    Stromer rear rack: adding a firm platform?

    Hi, the stock rear rack can be too small to securely mount some items like a small back pack or misc . Is there a strong "bare platform/base" that can be mounted? Something with multiple holes for securing bunjee cords etc. A flat plastic surface. Also, for a rear rack bag, what brand mounts...

    Shimano XTR Di2 loose wire?

    Hi, any tips on how to fix a loose wire that goes into the Di2 control/display gauge. Looking at the back of the gauge, there are 3 inlet ports, the righthand wire is very loose. It only makes contact if you push it in and hold it in. Is this a common problem?? Thanks

    ST2-S Di2 control connectors??

    Hi, my Di2 control box has a really loose wire that does not get a good connection. Looking from the front of the bike, the righthand wire is extremely loose/ gets no connection unless you push really hard and tilt slightly to the side. There are 3 ports, lefthand port has a wire, center wire...

    ST2-S battery(s) recharge technique?

    Hi, Stromer ST2-S question: It has main battery and Di2 XTR small control battery. How exactly can one charge the Di2 from the main battery? I know it is doable but I expected a small device plug-in receptor on the Di2 handlebar gauge. I found a medium device connector under the rubber flap...

    Introducing Rich from Crazy Lenny's

    Welcome, lil'Rich, I'm new to the e-bike world, after test driving one in FL. Loved the feeling as I previously was a 6000 mile a year rider here in MN when working fulltime. Injuries got me sidetracked but looking to get back into it now that I'm retired :)

    E-bike Controls Survey

    submitted. We'll be in Amsterdam and Haarlem the end of May. Where do you live? Are there restrictions on higher powered ebikes? Can ebikes use bike lanes? I think I saw that motor scooters in bike lanes are now illegal

    Stromer tires for 2018. Worth an upgrade?

    that seems odd to forbid reflective side tires as they'd seem safer when moving, standing still, help cars see you so not sure on their logic. Anyone hear why they are now forbidden??

    How to ship a bike, best company, for big box?

    Scooter-- I was hoping the factory box from Stromer could be used as there is minimal takedown and reassembly required. But it is oversize for most shippers :( In the near future I will likely want seasonal transport btwn MN and FL. I just discovered how the E-bike shipping class gets...

    How to ship a bike, best company, for big box?

    Thanks. The box size is the deal-breaker with almost all shippers, as BikeFlights won't touch it. Taking front wheel off and bars going sideways sounds like the only way for reasonable shipping IF there is no battery as the e-bike price skyrockets :( Is there a best method/shipper to ship a...

    steering head play??

    Hi, for a carbon fork with it's "mystery to me" compression fitting in the head, should there be any play in fork bearings? At rest with front brake on, should there be any movement forward when pushed? No movement or is small movement allowed? What does it take to adjust the play out...

    Stromer tires for 2018. Worth an upgrade?

    Hi, since the 2018 ST2-S will come with Schwalbe Marathon Almotion HS 453 tires, is it worth looking at upgrading now from Conti Top Contact II? Maybe just the front tire?? ?? Is Stromer mounting Almotion tubeless as it can go with a tube? Schwalbe discontinued one version of the...

    How to ship a bike, best company, for big box?

    I searched for various combos of bike shipping and found nothing on shipping a bike. What is the best option in US for shipping what seems to be an "oversized" box where FedEx, for example, states it's over their size limit? Heavy too. Box is 71" x 46" x 9" and weight is likely 65...

    Rear rack trunk bags? Messenger bag?

    Hi, St2-S on order for spring pickup (Minne Snowta resident) so I'm looking for accessories. For rear rack trunk bags, what brands/models fit their factory rack? I think I just want 8 L max with remote chance of wanting expandable beyond that? Links would be great. For a messenger bag...
