    Stromer commuters

    @emtbdude So you have found one guy with issues with his bike, and Stromer is a trash brand? Did you ever drive/own a Stromer yourself, or is this just hearsay? Perhaps the dealer in this case is just a trash dealer? Or perhaps the Stromer office in San Diego is poor. I kow hundreds of people...

    Stromer commuters

    Because the bike uses a hub motor. So you can't easily put an Rohloff style gearhub in the rear wheel... Some competitors with Hub motors announce a pinion based solution, Stromer announced a carbon belt version for 2020 as well But frankly, i don't see the issue with a chain. It's more...

    Stromer commuters

    If I ever break down with my Stromer, I can call the AA as well. And keeping warm, well they will be there in 30 minutes, and I always have an additional jack in my bike bag. You obvisouly have no clue. Stromer is where I live market leader (over 5000 Stromers sold a year), I know lots of...

    Battery compartment "spacer" when battery is removed?

    I purchased my dummy over here: https://www.vanzijptechniek.nl/product/batterij-dummy-stromer/ Works very well Don't know if he ships to the US

    Stromer commuters

    No I live in Belgium. Infrastructure is OK over here, but you don't cant drive everywhere at 28 mph on a cycle lane. It takes a bit less then 3 hours a day.

    Stromer commuters

    I have my Stromer ST2 now for 6 months. I have driven 9100 km (5600 miles) with it, mainly commute. I do 110 km (68 mi) every day (except those days that I need to work abroad, can't use my Stromer for 600 km + travel trips I frequently do, or when the weather is to bad (storm) Average speed...

    Stromer tires for 2018. Worth an upgrade?

    The disadvantage of using 2.0 tires is that you loose a little bit of your topspeed (2.0 tires only 0.6 km/h)

    Stromer tires for 2018. Worth an upgrade?

    It is odd. It is not logic. Controls now need not be on the left side on the steer as well. Not sure either why, but it's part of the new rules as well.

    Stromer tires for 2018. Worth an upgrade?

    Stromer is marketing the ST2s with another tire because the new European legislation forbids reflective sides on speedbikes.

    That Cross Bar is Going to Kill You

    About the study, it has been proven that it's a flawed study. On top of that, even when you are more prone to get head injuries, you can wear a helmet. A hip injury for people > 60 is way more dangerous. If the study would not have been flawed, there could have been some logic to ban these kind...

    Haibike xduro Race

    After the recall operation, I can at last start to use the bike. I've done 6 trips to work, and need 1h35 one direction (22 mph). This is with a 400 Wh battery, I need to do around 5-7 miles in eco-mode, afterwards I can switch to Touring. Within a few weeks, my condition should be OK again...

    Haibike xduro Race

    I did one ride over 55 km with it. Stiffness is comparable to my race bike (trek). It's OK for me

    Haibike xduro Race

    Well I have not yet driven the trip, I have an ankle injury. The deal was 2199 EUR for a brand new bike, but with aluminium rimms instead of the carbon rimms. Carbon would have been 2599 EUR, for commuting purposes I prefer a standard alu rimm over a deep dish carbon one

    Optimizing Battery Usage

    I agree . The advice the topic starter got is more or less ok on NiMh cells, but will only harm a Li-Ion battery pack. You typically keep 80% capacity out of Li-Ion batteries after 500 cycles of full drain. If you limit yourself tou draining the cells only to 50%, you get 1500-2000 cycles...

    Haibike xduro Race

    It's a nice track, with little stops, and the track is also almost flat. Using my race bike I get to around 16-19 mph depending on the wind. I guess that I will need to limit myself to eco to ensure the distance (I only managed 5 miles on the bike for now, way to cold and snowy over here for...

    Haibike xduro Race

    Haibike xduro Race

    Hello guys. I just purchased myself a Haibike xduro race. Was first planning on purchasing a Stromer ST1x, but a friend linked me to a shop with some old stock of the Haibike Xduro Race 2015/2016 at a ridiculous price point, so I ended up buying the haibike. I've been looking for people...
