With just 170 miles on it, I began getting a charging error that escalated into a system error (#210005) and then my ST7 stopped working altogether. It turned out to be a short at the charging port and it blew up the ST7's distribution board (all the bike's wiring connects to it). My dealer...

Mine is 4G, and when it has a signal, it says “4G” just above the bars.

Wow - thank you for this great post. I haven’t gotten my bike back yet but will try this as soon as I do.

I pretty much agree with everything you say. I just bought the mirror online for about $15. https://www.amazon.com/Mirrycle-MTB-Mountain-Bicycle-Mirror/dp/B0009R96YK/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?crid=9RZTYJ5T0VF&keywords=mirrycle&qid=1682645799&sprefix=%2Caps%2C435&sr=8-2 Like you, I also replaced the...

No, sorry - I thought you meant the S mode, which is above mode 3 which you get by pressing the + button. What you are referring to does not exist in the ST5/7. There is a “walk” mode, where the bike is self propelled at a slow pace, but it is meant as an assist for walking the bike up a ramp...

Yes, it works exactly the same on the ST7 as on the ST5.

I never had any significant issues with my ST5 (mine is the limited edition model from 2021 - just before ABS was added). The OMNI died once and had to be replaced, and the torque sensor got messed up by a bad Stomer software update that they eventually corrected. Otherwise, after having put...

I haven’t tried that with this more escalated issue, but I had tried it before with the lesser version of the problem, to no avail. I did turn the bike off a couple of times and it didn’t work. Right now I feel that even if taking the battery out were to resolve this immediate issue, the bike...

Both my ST5 and ST7 have a the suspension fork and Kinekt suspension seat post, so there’s not much difference for me in that regard. My ST7 has, however, effectively become a paper weight in my garage. The “minor” issue I was having with the regenerative braking described in earlier posts...

I’ve now put over 100 miles on my ST7, and my overall impression is that it is in most ways an improvement over the ST5. Now that I’ve gotten used to riding it, I believe it has more power than my ST5. Going up hills and getting it to 28+ mph is noticeably easier with the ST7. The Pinion...

Thanks, Petro - yes, I’ll try adjusting the brake sensitivity and hopefully that will work. Just as you would expect, as soon as I got my bike home it started raining and hasn’t stopped for two days. I’m planning to do a 30-mile ride tomorrow to really put the bike to work! The Thule worked...

I got my ST7 yesterday, and to address the issue you mention about the motor cable being eroded by the brake rotor, my dealer used a zip tie to hold the cable against the frame and away from the rotor. Even with the (ugly!) zip tie, the cable is still dangerously close to the rotor. I would...

I got my ST7 today! It is a very nice bike, and I only had time to take a short 5-mile ride to adjust the seat, and get a feel for the bike. A few initial reactions: Compared to my ST5, it is a predictably different experience, given the obvious differences in drive train. But it is just as...

I spoke with Stromer USA, and the gold ST7 will be arriving in the US end of February, and the platinum grey will likely arrive end of April. My dealer told me to add an extra month to both dates as they first go to Stromer US in California to be checked out, then get shipped to the dealers...

Thanks for posting your experience with the ST7! Did you try lifting it? I understand it’s quite a bit heavier than the ST5. I also have the ST5 with an ST7 on order. One of the things I like about the ST5 is how quiet it is. I used to have a R&M Superdelite and its Rohloff transmission was...

I also just learned that only the gold ST7 will arrive at the end of February here in the USA. The dark platinum ST7 won’t arrive here until end of May.

I just checked with Stromer USA about when we can expect to see the ST7 here, and their response was: “The cargo ship carrying the container for Stromer US has experienced two delays leaving port and is conservatively anticipated, end of February. Originally, estimated end of January.” So I...

I have turn signals on my two helmets (Stromer helmet by Unit 1 and Lumos Ultra), but rarely use them as you need to be very close by to recognize what they are. I generally only use them when I’m at a stop light and everyone is close by to me.

That’s who I have mine on order with, but so far they haven’t called me with good news. I went with the front and seat suspension, so it’s possible they haven’t gotten that in yet.

Interesting… since the ST7 is purportedly the first bike to use Pinion’s smart shift, I suppose we have to wait a little while longer to find out as it appears these bike are just now starting to arrive.
