    Stromer ST3 rear tire removal

    I have done the rear tire on my ST-2 release twice upside down. It worked pretty good, but you have to pay attention to the rearrangement when replacing and make sure that the left side removal has a thin washer that you do not wish to lose it to remove. I am guessing that the ST-3 has a...

    Stromer ST3

    Good work Mark! Michael is simply great on the stuff you were concerned with and he is virtually a lone guy in Stromer, but he still pitches in when he can and has always been great for me. I have purchased my ST-2 in 2016 and have not had a problem yet that he could not solve for me, should I...

    Specialized Vado 5 problems

    Something is definitely not right...I have a Vado 6, ridden close to 700 miles and have never experienced the problem you mention. Check to see if your dealer has installed the latest operating system (download). You might want to check the battery position. If it is loose at all, that could...

    Turbo Vado 6.0 ?

    I have ridden my Vado 6 a bit over 800 miles this summer, some city riding, but mostly out on country roads. To this point, the only problem I have encountered is reseating the battery. My dealer (and some of my friends) can do it instantly, but I seem not to have the "touch". My solution has...

    Can't get any support from Stromer. What am I doing wrong?

    interesting...I'm still experimenting with the two very different drives (rear hub vs mid-drive). Clearly, the mid-drive puts a lot more pressure on the drive train, particularly if you are not particularly adept at changing gears. I grew up on Campy friction shifters using a Nouvo Record drive...

    Specialized mirror on vado 6.0

    Possibly a specialized dealer could order it for you? I also like the mirror for the reason you stated...

    Can't get any support from Stromer. What am I doing wrong?

    Hey bluecat...”treadmill vs sports car”...love it, but I have a Stromer ST-2 and the Vado 6, 4K miles on the ST-2 and 800 on the Vado. I was riding the Specialized electric fatty, which I brought for some off-road cycling. I found myself not using the Fatty as planned, so traded it in on the...

    Hello Turbo Vado friends everywhere / 2019 Range / Missing App!!

    Since we got little of what was promised for the TFT, the difference must be negligible....I have called and written Specialized any number of times about the lack of the app...still believe they should at the least provide a rebate for the lack thereof. I used the app on a Turbo Levo Fatty and...

    Can't get any support from Stromer. What am I doing wrong?

    Take a look at the Specialized line...their Vado 6 is very competitive with the ST-2 in many instances, not the least of which is price and there are lots of Specialized dealers in the US, compared to Stromer. The folks at Stromer have been very, very helpful, but are apparently undergoing a...

    Mud flaps

    The Specialized Vado 6 looked at this problem and produced some really good mud flaps, along with some related fender work. The flaps are flexible and shaped to match the natural look of the fender. They might be adaptable for the ST-2 if they are available from a Specialized dealer...

    bicycle carrier for Turbo Vado?

    1upUSA makes terrific racks and the customer service is very, very good...I looked at any number of racks before making a decision and the plus factors were the ability to fold it up for storage (or to carry in my trunk if I wanted); the ease of anchorage to my trailer hitch, along with some...

    Stromer ST2 on fire?

    the headlight looks like the one on the ST-1, but it could be an older Stromer ST-2; not sure of the history there...

    Stromer still viable in the USA?

    Got a note from Michael this week...he is flat out and working with reduced staffing. I know that he is trying his very best to accommodate our problems, whatever they may be. Hopefully, some additional help is on the way for him and Stromer USA. Their support is key for a great product.

    Swapped my lemon Vado 3.0 for a Vado 6.0

    basic difference between Vado5 and Vado6 is the front fork, regular fork on the 5 and shock fork on the 6. Otherwise,I believe they are identical. Vado3 has lesser components (price and effectiveness). If you go to specialized.com and check bikes, then e-bikes you will get pricing and major...

    Swapped my lemon Vado 3.0 for a Vado 6.0

    So far so good with my Vado6, it is definitely several steps up from the Vado3; although I thought the Vado3 might be a great bike for those who simply wanted an every day commuter. Sorry to hear about your poor experience. My general experience with Specialized has been that they have some...

    Turbo Como 3.0 Test Drive

    Interesting discussion above...I have both a Stromer ST-2 and a Specialized Vado 6. The Stromer is simply a strong, supremely engineered bicycle The motor is very powerful and the battery life is very, very good. I have ridden it a bit over 3000 miles in city and country riding and enjoy the...
