    Wich speed pedelec?

    Hmmm Stefan... I am a little concerned with what you’re doing. You’re trying too hard... As with any ebike and or sp, you are aware that they come with multiple levels of assist. So if one chooses to sweat, it is possible. Need I remind you what pedal assist means? You do know that there are no...

    Wich speed pedelec?

    I guess you’re trying to be funny and or lighthearted . So benefit of the doubt...Yes the stromers are somewhat beefy and I appreciate that you may not enjoy the riding sensations provided by a superbly engineered hub motor/ controller combo. That you prefer the “natural “ feel of your mid drive...

    Wich speed pedelec?

    Akrotiri, my bad. I must’ve clicked on the wrong thing. I thought I was replying to @Stefanmikes, who I’m pretty sure has made that assertion a couple of times before. As for seeing a Stromer on the streets, it is akin to seeing Ferraris or Lamborghinis. I have only encountered them around...

    Wich speed pedelec?

    Stefan, thank you for your reply. I agree with you that one very rarely sees Stromers on the road. This doesn’t mean that they’re illegal. It is more of a reflection of their very high price and of cycling culture in general. I haven’t been to Leuven in a very long time and it was well before...

    @Stefan Mikes Hi Stefan, Stromer bikes are not illegal in Europe , outside of Switzerland. They are in fact one of the most popular sp brands in Belgium ( where I'm from) , the Netherlands where they have a huge market share and dealer representation and also in Germany and France , as far as I...

    New Stromer ST5 LTD

    Hi Abek, Yes ! Sp connect makes a special attachment for your Iphone/ android phone. Your Stromer dealer should have it in stock and install that for you or you can do it yourself . Remove the ST5 plate and replace it with1or 2 screws and double sided adhesive. I Like it and must say it looks...

    ST-5 cassette removal procedure

    Hi Johnny, thanks for the response. I thought I needed to wax the cassette as well as the chain...ugh.. I know it's a little embarrassing... My ST5 has been flawless (as a bike) since I bought it. The connectivity gps, bluetooth, smartlock IMO are marketing gimmick jokes. very iffy/ unreliable...

    ST-5 cassette removal procedure

    Hi, could someone provide some tips/info about removing the cassette on an ST-5, the proper cleaning procedure of said cassette and the re-mounting of the cassette and wheel. Tools, cleaning products, torque values etc. BTW I've recently changed my brake pads from TRP to Shimano DS03 resin pads...

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

    Hi , I believe the new ST1 only has Bluetooth connectivity and uses the Omni BT whereas the ST2, ST3 & ST5 can use Bluetooth but are also connected through the 3G cellphone network. See this: https://www.stromerbike.com/sites/default/files/2020-10/Stromer%20OMNI%20MY21_EN.pdf I hope this helps.

    E-bike riding instruction and tips

    Hi Dallant, as you may have seen in the pictures above the giro bexley has quite large overhang which I believed would protect that area of my face.The overhang is so large that sometimes I find it obscures my vision forward. My riding position is sometimes described as aggressive forward. I...

    E-bike riding instruction and tips

    Yes you’re right,I am very lucky and very happy to have her. There’s some scratches and scrapes and aching ( arm/ hand / hip) that will heal ( eventually, I will turn 50 in a couple of days) but I believe the brain function is ok and doesn’t require further treatment. I will replace / retire...

    E-bike riding instruction and tips

    Hey Luto, of course! I will definitely be more prudent when it comes to speed and wet leaves. I believed that I was in control and that the dry weather and road surface conditions were safe/manageable. I obviously misjudged.. Lessons learned... Ironically , five minutes earlier I had been...

    E-bike riding instruction and tips

    Hey 6zfshdb ,thanx for taking the time to reply. Yes the bike seems mostly ok. A few scratches on the rearview mirror (no big deal). I did ride the bike home and it felt fine except for maybe a loss of pressure in the left hand/front brake. the throw of the handle felt longer than usual before...

    E-bike riding instruction and tips

    Yep! Wet leaves are surprisingly slippery! I was having a nice ride with my wife this afternoon, on a dry road surface when I hit a patch of wet leaves. As I road through it I felt the rear wheel abruptly loose traction then swerve left. As I tried to correct the trajectory , over corrected and...
