    In that vein, I have a an extended blue Stromer ST1 battery pack that is not working that I'll be selling for parts - who wants to experiment? lol ;)

    Stromer still viable in the USA?

    Wow, it sounds like Lenny's is still the best bet for price + service then! I have had them follow-up and offer help, beyond what Stromer has offered, so Lenny's is coming through - happy to report.

    Stromer still viable in the USA?

    But if you can't fix it over the phone and you're not in driving distance, Lenny's will say "contact Stromer" and that's that. Not much "service" or "warranty" offered, in my experience.

    Stromer ST1 battery door has come off

    If it fell off, I imagine that the semi-hidden bolt had to be missing. The bolt goes up from the bottom, through the battery door hinge. 5mm (IIRC) hex, probably ~4" long. It will be partially hidden by cables.

    Stromer still viable in the USA?

    I've been working with Mike on diagnosing my ST1, and he mentioned that they're a bit understaffed or something, so expect delays. He did ship out parts quickly (unfortunately they didn't fix the issue), at least. Their voicemail also pretty much says don't expect a response in a timely manner...

    Best online warranty/support?

    So, I'm a consumer who prefers to DIY vs take something to the dealer - with experience in mostly car maintenance/repairs. I'd like to apply the same to an ebike, and was wondering what ["low/lower end"] brands people think provide the best after sale follow-up/warranty work, repair, diagnosing...

    Should wearing helmet be optional?

    Do you disable your airbags and never wear your seatbelt too? How do you feel about vaccines? The FDA? Drinking water standards? Sometimes the government's role is to save people from themselves. *shrug*

    Should wearing helmet be optional?

    If you're helmet less when riding your donor-cycle, please make sure that you are indeed an organ donor. Thanks. -society What would save more lives is to make organ donor "opt-out" on driver's licenses. Make donation standard, and if someone really doesn't want to, they can opt out. /tangent

    Very poor recent purchasing experience for ST2S

    Great to hear about the Crazy Lenny support! I have 450 miles on my ST1, bought from them, and just got a "no_com" error. Tried replacing the display battery, unplugging/replugging wires, etc - no luck. Local shop prefers not to work on bikes not bought through them, but I think I gotta ask...

    Haibike Urban Plus 2017 - The most exciting Urban E-bike!

    Wow, great price. Also 3% cashback if you use activejunky https://www.activejunky.com/invite/18072 at IZIP saves you another $45 plus $10 if you're a new user! I believe the IZIP allows a boost button for those who are worried about not having a "throttle"...

    Urban Plus Prices

    From what my local dealer says, there is no difference for 2018. Its simply a carry-over. Low sales at the original MSRP and oversupply lead to the 50% price drop. They need to clear them out. Someone else's words, not mine. I'd be inclined to think "why not just sell them as 2018s?" I was going...

    RadCity vs Haibike Urban Plus?

    I got the B&M kit. Only had one evening ride and it was fine. I sure wouldn't pay retail for the kit though.

    Hill climbing ability

    Urban Plus should be a top contender for sure. Mid drive at rear hub price. I don't see a need for more than 10 gears unless your battery is dead!

    Haibike Urban Plus 2017 - The most exciting Urban E-bike!

    Pretty sure it isn't possible. I thought that there was a chance for this bike, b/c you can add a "boost button"/throttle on near identical bikes by IZIP E3 Protout/Raleigh Sprint IE - but I don't think that the Urban Plus has the empty electrical connector like those bikes. They [Haibike]...

    Bike Insurance Thoughts

    Geez, bike ins. rates seem way too high. Imagine if your car insurance ran roughly 10% of it value, annually, and only included accident/theft replacement - no liability, medical, etc. At those high rates, I'd self insure. Our homeowners also has a $1,000 deductible, standard. I'm not added...

    Haibike Urban Plus 2017 - The most exciting Urban E-bike!

    I cross shopped these and a CCS. Ended up buying an ST1 on clearance. I think I would have enjoyed the cobi more than my simple interface I have now, to be honest. Originally the cobi was seen as a potential negative. The Urban Plus is a solid bike and great deal at it's 1/2 off price. You...

    Anyone use a trainer with your ebike?

    My ebike trainer sits right next to my downhill treadmill and stepper. ;)

    Road bike snob looking for advice

    Stromer ST1 or Haibike Urban Plus can be had for the same price as a CCS, but would require a battery recharge at work (packs won't be as large as the CCS).
