Typically, where these hubs are useful are in their lack of maintenance and easy of use.

It has been a while since the release of the ST1X, though I feel this is necessary to mention and I have not seen it elsewhere in this thread or any other. A few weeks after the release of the ST1X, a customer of ours returned to the shop for a flat fix. After performing the flat fix...

Stromer is a great brand and they do a really good job servicing their customers and dealers, though their bikes do have a few quirks and are prone to end up in the shop every now and then. When a Stromer bike is working at 100%, you'll be hard pressed to find a better rear hub e-bike on the...

I just purchased a battery sleeve for my bike and having the added protection is great. Fluctuations in battery temperature can make your typical range deviate from its mean. The neoprene sleeve keeps the battery temperature much more consistent, especially when riding in colder temperatures for...

The Busch & Muller 701 e-Bike mirror has hands down been our most popular mirror and certainly one that I recommend checking out.

I have replaced a fair amount of motor cables, mainly on the ST2. It is a pretty straightforward, yet time consuming install. From my experience, a lot of motor cable issues have arisen from improperly installing the motor cable interface when reinstalling the rear wheel back onto the bike...

New companies are constantly over promising and under delivering. I see this happen most frequently in regards to service and technical problems. New companies nowadays are great at advertising and marketing to generate sales, though more often than not they are not very responsive when it comes...

Most manufacturers will refer to their systems as "splash proof" and never have I heard of any system being "water proof". I have also seen motors submerged for testing purposes, though submerging the motor or any of the electronics of a system is not recommended. Washing a bike using running...

I typically suggest inspecting pads at around 1,000 miles just to be on the safe side. Riders who tend to brake aggressively with only one lever, may need new pads at around 1,000 miles depending on brand/model. If you brake conservatively and utilize both brake levers to slow down, your brake...

My advice is to be wary of this bike, considering its use and the fact that Specialized has decided to discontinue this model. The price seems a bit high for a heavily used, out of warranty, and discontinued bike.

The Stromer ST1 and ST2 both are both equipped with carbon forks which utilize compression plugs rather than the typical star nut anchor used within an aluminum steer tube. You can watch this video here as a quick tutorial.

We are starting to see the angled motor more frequently, as it helps with clearance issues when riding over obstacles. More particularly, these angled motors can be found on a lot of off-road intended use bikes.

This thread here may help shed some light on the current NY legislation.

The best solution would be to find a local shipping broker that can help in providing you with a freight carrier and rate for your shipment. There are plenty of freight carriers that can be used such as XPO Logistics, Duie Pyle, FedEx Freight, New England Motor Freight, New Penn, Estes, and...

Lithium ion batteries are best stored at room temperature and at 30-60% capacity, though these batteries should not experience any trauma from being exposed to the cold. This especially rings true for quality brands/companies, who rigorously test their batteries. Lithium ion batteries will not...

@Durukan Devrim 45-55Nm, check manufacturer's specifications.

@PistolPete As long as the bike is still within the warranty period, I see you having no problem replacing the motor through warranty. The motor was the only part that required replacement in order to mitigate the whirring. They may want you to bring the bike along with the proof of purchase in...

Aside from the new Omni and a horn, there are not many big changes lined up for ST2S in 2018. With that in mind, the aforementioned price reduction seems like a great deal! If the bike is equipped with the old version of the Omni, you may want to look into upgrading and swapping out the old Omni...
