    Thoughts on best power meter

    Thanks for all of the interesting comments. I just finished swapping my Vector pedals onto my Stromer this morning, and I'll try to get out for a test ride at lunch. I also appreciate the additional info on CA. I'll have to investigate, though I suspect I will come to @linklemming's conclusion...

    Thoughts on best power meter

    Thanks. I may try hooking up my Vector pedals for a test ride. Cadence is easy but not what I’m looking for.

    Thoughts on best power meter

    Hi all - I have a bit of an obsession with bike data. I'm an engineer, and engineers have a hard time knowing that they are having fun without the data ;) One of the things that I found very appealing about the Specialized ebikes is that they broadcast the data from their torque sensor and...

    Finally pulled the trigger ...

    @Stefan Mikes - I haven’t examined them closely, but the bike has less than 100 km on it. Now I did buy it used, and I am a bit irritated by a few surprises. For example, it arrived with the BQ814 and not the ‘983. In addition, they sent me the CR190 charger and not the 245W version. However...

    Finally pulled the trigger ...

    Went for my first real ride today. 19 miles, 400 Wh and 48.3 minutes. I started with Mode 2 programmed to “Snow”, but switched to Mode 3 after a few miles. Despite having a local dealer bleed the brakes multiple times, I’m still having some issues with the front brake lever. Sometimes it...

    Sleep vs Off

    Thanks. I'm just looking for some real-world feedback on the power consumption difference. I'm going to assume that "off" is very low, if not zero, but what about sleep? If I leave the bike in sleep mode and don't ride for a week or two, what kind of energy has been consumed? As you know, I've...

    What's the difference between Omni app and Omni BT app?

    @bluecat - there are definitely two different apps. I downloaded both of them. I found that Stromer USA / my dealer had transferred ownership of the used ST2S I bought to the Omni app automatically. The Omni BT app had an ability to "Add a new bike", but that didn't work for me. Once I realized...

    Sleep vs Off

    What do you all do with regards to turning your Stromer Off vs letting it go to sleep? Mine will live in an unheated garage. I’ve got the BT-based Auto Unlock feature activated, but I’m wondering whether I should use “Off” or sleep for day-to-day operation. How good is the sleep function? Of...

    What's the difference between Omni app and Omni BT app?

    Ah, I finally found it (and confirming your response @Petropoliskhan !) What are the differences between the Stromer OMNI app and the Stromer OMNI BT app? Differences between OMNI app and OMNI BT app The Stromer OMNI BT app is only available with the Stromer ST1 (from model year 2019, with OMNI...

    What's the difference between Omni app and Omni BT app?

    Can someone help me understand the difference between these two apps? I looked quickly on the Stromer site, but no obvious answers.

    Avid cyclist looking to reduce ~40 mile round-trip commute time

    I did, but not until about a week ago. I started to re-consider the Trek Domane+ HP and was spinning through all of the options again when a Stromer ST2S popped up on my radar with a heavy discount. It was a slightly older model, but with just 45 km and being offered at 60% off its price new. I...

    Few questions about new (to me) ST2S

    @fxr3 yeah, I did a sub 60s spin around icy, salty roads at 10p last night. After reading some more of the manual last night, I realized my mistake regarding that rear hub piece. I’m curious if the function of that piece is to securely hold the wires onto the hub or make it easier to remove...

    Few questions about new (to me) ST2S

    It took a bit longer than expected to re-assemble my new (to me) ST2S, but I think I have it mostly sorted. A few lingering questions for the experts ... This thing appears to belong not the rear hub. Should it be in place when installing the rear wheel or what? What’s its purpose? See first...

    Finally pulled the trigger ...

    After searching for an ebike for my commuter (Looking to reduce commute time), I recently changed direction and bought a used Stromer ST2S with <50 km and just a few weeks of time on it. It should be on its way to me today. I'm very excited! Question for the forum: the Stromer website seems to...

    Questions about Stromer and ST5

    Hi all, I have not been looking at Stromers despite their apparent fit for my goal (high-speed commuter) primarily due to price. However, my LBS has a demo ST5 on sale with the Wren fork and Kinekt seat post options. I would still need the rack option. Questions: I'm a data junky. What data is...
