Thanks, great suggestion. I follow the Cycling Trucker, but I didn't know what he uses. I'm bookmarking that bag.

30 inch inseam. 175 pounds. And one more thought for you: I tried the same Superdelite model with Rohloff and with GT chain derailleur. The GT was admittedly more responsive and sporty. The Rohloff feels sluggish by comparison, but that may be a matter of mastering it, perhaps learning to...

You're probably right about the frame size for you. But for such a substantial purchase, I would be inclined to drive the 2.5 hours each way before I committed myself to the purchase. Just a few days ago I placed my order for the Superdelite Rohloff HS with 1125 Wh batteries, Kiox, Fox...

Thanks to your search suggestion (!) I found this, which might be pretty ideal. My R&M Superdelite is on order, so I will need to wait until it gets here to take measurements and see if this bag would work. Maybe a current R&M owner can chime in. This bag is tall but looks foldable and can be...

Thank you, Chris! Really appreciate your input on this forum, all your help for the biking community, and your great videos. I live in Northern California, but I do get down south occasionally, and my next trip will definitely include a visit to Propel in Long Beach.

Congrats on your TINKER purchase! Wow, with such a compact bike, I am surprised about your challenge of preventing theft. I am thinking I could pop it into a car trunk and certainly keep the Tinker indoors. The compact size seems like one of the main selling points. I have not purchased yet...

Hi! I am seeing lots of great bike videos about the R&M line for 2020 (including the new videos by Propel Electric Bikes), and I am wondering how the TINKER will change for 2020. So far, I have held off purchasing. What I really want is the Tinker HS version, but with the Gates belt, Rohloff...

Chris, what you said about the Brompton makes a lot of sense. I didn't quite think of it that way. Am I guessing right that the Kiox display (if available) is just a swap with the Intuvia display, and nothing else is needed to make it work? Or is there more to it? I'm talking about on the...

I look forward reading to Chris’s reply to you. Like you, I have been on the fence about folding bikes. The most extreme folding bike is the Brompton, and the electric version will go on sale soon in the US. That compact fold is very attractive. But much about the ride is compromised for its...

Chris, so it sounds like you are saying that installing a Kiox display on the Tinker is just a matter of swapping it out, if one is available. Is that right? The bike electronics are compatible to make the Kiox work as soon as it is mounted? Does the Kiox require a different mount? And...

Hi! Nobody has posted here since last July. I hope someone is still monitoring this thread! I’m considering the Tinker HS and looking forward to a test ride (Northern California). I’ve watched all the available videos many times over. SHOUTOUT to Cort, Chris Nolty, and Kelly up in Ladysmith...

I sure appreciate your points, Court. (And all your video reviews!) But I am going for the best price I can get.

This is an interesting discussion. I just want to add that we are still in the dark ages about e-bikes. I have been watching to spot an e-bike on the road around here. I see dozens of bikes on the road every day and in our local parks, and I have seen exactly ONE e-bike in all the months I...

Ravi, if you would, I would like Len's number as well. I am within a couple weeks of ordering a Platinum, perhaps even 2 -- one for my wife. When I am ready I will be calling to order and will not waste Len's time. Thanks.

James, and others - I love the ST1 Platinum and will probably get one soon, especially if that price from Crazy Lenny is still good. One reason I have hesitated is I hear about lots of variability in the quality of the motors. Big concern for me. You evidently got a perfect Stromer! Have you...

I wrote to Stromer via Facebook messaging. Whoever monitors that told me to expect ST2 in California in April. Go figure.

Man, the ST2 looks plenty cool to me! Can't wait for the complete specs, pics, and a demo ride.

Hey! Look what I found! A full shot of the Stromer ST2: And this description: That quote comes from this page.

Yes, standing out for theft. Also, standing out where riding an e-bike is questionable or iffy (restrictions, legality). IMHO always best to keep a low profile on an e-bike. James, I hope to join your ranks soon with your Platinum. Safe riding!

What concerns me about the ST2 is it might look SO slick (ambient lights, etc.) that it will attract attention as a futuristic e-bike (for people who don't want to draw attention to that). In my case I would rather play that down. I'm looking at getting a black ST1, which will look clean and...
