To be fair, back in 2015-2016 Stromer represented the top-of-the-line. Stromer was a first love, and you know how it is with first loves: What could have been? And the siren song of Pinion! I also liked Kalkhoff back then. I went to an expo in '16, test rode the Integrale S11 + received a $200...

Great question. Better isn't the right word. Stromer and R+M are more innovative; more likely to integrate the latest tech. This is very attractive if you're the early adopter type, especially when it's a feature you've been waiting for. I am not a Specialized expert, but Trek and Tern tend to...

Dropping the price means competing directly with Trek, Specialized and Tern. Trek has a very large footprint, of course, very visible. Specialized is well-known. I have yet to meet anyone with a Tern complaint IRL, and I see a lot of their bikes on the road. The sub-forum here is also issue-free...

I'm actually surprised Stromer lasted here as long as they did. In response to 'What is going on here?', I'll add a few observations. The heady 'good, old days' were also a time when people saw $$ to be made by jumping on the bandwagon. As a result, 1. US skeleton crews. I was recently told...

Rohloff Lockring tool (new) 180 mm Rohloff Magura disc rotor (new) (sold) Rohloff Oil Seals! (New, I have 4 (now 3) pairs available) - if you need the seal tool to press them in, you will find it on eBay. I went this route to never repeat the soul-crushing experience of replacing seals at a...

Both are new, purchased as spares. I opened the mount box. The mount is the 1500mm cable version. These are pre-smart system, usually identified as BDU2xx or BDU3xx. The mount is the most recent version with updated contacts. Price depends on shipping and whether both are purchased together...

Packsters were recalled 20-21; assume this is a refurbished recalled model. Problem was with the steering, IIRC. Regardless, I would not purchase a Vario -- too many have failed multiple times on cargo bikes during the warranty period for comfort.

Well this is underwhelming but appreciated. The plethora of magnets purports to imbue torque sensor-like qualities to the cadence sensor. Have you owned any torque-sensing bikes? I'm trying to figure out whether the magnets are a kludge, or if it just feels delayed compared to pure cadence...

Thank you. I have a 31.6 Kinekt seatpost I could dedicate to this bike, if I take the plunge. Sounds as though I will need a shim. Looking forward to your comments as you use the bike.

What is the seatpost diameter? Couldn't find it in the review write-up. I miss Court's attention to detail. Thanks.

Lithium ion battery fires are the #1 cause of fire-related deaths in NYC. Given that the buildings are likely given guidance by property insurance companies, thus is likely to get complicated. I did not watch the video either but did look for the attorney. A bike accident lawyer, hmm. Imagine...

Exactly my experience -- 2 flats within first 1000 miles. I also experienced sidewall damage. Sidewalls were thin, presumably to accommodate folding.

I have at least 1, maybe 2. I can look for them if you want. If I have 2, I'm happy to give you one free.

Yes, just the Nyon (1gb or 8gb) screen which slides into the Intuvia mount. The Intuvia control unit (switch) should work with Nyon. The only time I've seen it not work is really old versions (2015-16) of the switch. The Nyon unit has a toggle next to the screen, giving you an alternative to...

I had this problem with Nyon 1. As it was never officially released in the US, my dealer refused any assistance :( The good news is that with repeated attempts while systematically making changes, I always managed to get it working (eventually). My first suggestion would be to remove the device...

That's with a cloth cover for the top battery. no less. I predict that cloth battery cover will be nothing but trouble. Looks great on the showroom floor, tho'.

I enjoyed your proof-of-concept and consider it a form of advocacy. The comments regarding how easy it is to find an outlet seem dated to me. Public/private entities increasingly are discouraging charging due to 1) Safety. As an example, my regional rail now explicitly forbids bike battery...

The scooter manufacturer might be out of business, but the battery manufacturer is still around. I'd contact them to get a connector ID and possible recommendation on how to source a charger. I doubt they still make this battery, but it won't hurt you to reach out...

R&M makes TuffCoat foil available (free) via your dealer to protect the rack. Comes in sheets and actually works well. Don't know if they've continued the practice -- I was given some in 2022.
