    Stromer ST5: Is it reliable?

    Yup 1500miles on it now trouble free. I ride about 18 miles to work daily. I get a great workout on it, It’s my time machine. The internet connectivity is poor. Metrics lagging. Since I upgraded my iPhone to the 11 pro, I cannot pair. I never cared for the seamless unlock mode. just updated...

    Stromer ST5: Is it reliable?

    My ST5 had assist cut and error messages at ~750 miles. It got to a point where I couldn’t turn it on using the power button. I discovered a few things: I could only turn it on while plugged into the charger. As soon as I unplug, bike would shut down. This meant that power was not getting to...

    Anyone else seeing issues with the OMNI app not updating?

    Yeah, the mobile app / infrastructure is not as active / real-time as you expect. It will eventually connect and locate you / update mileage ...etc.

    Stromer and the front wheel fork.

    That would be a no on the ST5.

    Stromer ST3

    Don't forget to update the system software once you get registration sorted. You should be able to perform a system update OverTheAir. It's in the Omni - system menu.

    Stromer ST3 rear tire removal

    To make live a lot easier, I'd removed the chain first. The rear wheel is heavy and hard to manipulate with the chain in the way... Does the st3 rear wheel have a lock ring for the free hub? The ST5 does not, so if you are not careful, the freehub and cassette can free fall out spilling all the...

    Stromer ST3 Torx Key and Boost Function

    Not sure what you mean by Boost mode... I have a ST5 purchased in teh SF bay area. I have S mode. The rental company may have had their fleet disabled for S mode for range purposes.

    Tubeless ready ST5 - Yes!

    Glad you were able to convince them to look. Did you show them this thread with picts? BTW here's the T70 Torx bit I use for $5.55 on Amazon. I guess the 10MM axle is nice, but it's hard for someone to steal your wheel with a T70 axle. (Or they have a 11mm allen wrench) What did they charge...

    Tubeless ready ST5 - Yes!

    There's no need to remove the wheels if you are willing to sacrifice the inner tubes. ( labor cost for wheel removal vs cut the inner tubes off) It's not hard to go tubeless on the ST5. You need tubeless valve stems. Bike tire sealant. ( Use 120ml in each wheel) The Pirelli e-cycle tires are...

    Tubeless ready ST5 - Yes!

    The rim is the most important part of the tubeless equation... If the rim doesn't hold on to the bead, it is very hard to air up. (It is possible to build up the inner rim lip with additional tape) Not all non-tubeless tire can be used in a tubeless setup. It may leak too much air from the...

    Tubeless ready ST5 - Yes!

    Keep in mind in the ST5 there is no locknut on the free hub shell. So if you are not careful with the rear wheel, the free hub + cassette can free fall out and spill all the little bits everyone where you will never find it :D (Springs, paws...etc)

    Stromer ST5: Amazing customer service

    Just did this yesterday. Don't skimp on sealant, use at least 100ml on those pirelli boost tires.

    Tubeless ready ST5 - Yes!

    Yeah so if you get a puncture running an inner tube, your bike is disabled 100%. If you run tubeless with sealant, there's a good chance the sealant can seal the puncture in time and your tire not completely flat. This bike sealant video should inspire confidence.

    Tubeless ready ST5 - Yes!

    Not even the local dealer could tell me if the stock ST5 DT Swiss rims are tubeless ready. Anyhow, fearing of getting a flat on the road, I wanted to better my chances. Peeled back the tire and yes the rim is tubeless ready! I pull the tube, put in a tubeless stem add sealant and air up via...

    Tubeless ST2?

    The rim needs to be tubless ready also or the bead on "tubeless" tire will not be able to seat.

    Strange problem

    Pull the battery and seat it again. After you re-insert the battery - make absolutely sure you can turn on the bike BEFORE you close the battery door.

    ST5 suspension fork - is it really proprietary?

    Are there any Stromer dealer mechanics here? When you perform the handle bar recall service, are the forks really proprietary? I can see an oval jam nut at the very top. But taking apart the charging port and reaching in, I can feel the rest of the fork stem is round. Perhaps the fork just...
