I have a new ST1 Omni C. I previously owned an ST1 Elite until 3 years ago. My new ST1 Omni includes the 814 wH battery. I am disappointed with the range it provides. While it is advertised as being capable of providing a range of 90 miles, it comes nowhere close. Fully loaded, the bike and I...

Hi, I recently bought a LunaCycle 36V charger to use in place of my Stromer ST-1 charger. Why? With Stromer batteries being so expensive, I want to maximize the life of each of the 4 I have (I do long trips) and only charge the batteries up to 90% to prolong their lives. I disassembled the XLR...

Somehow all my mileage info has gone from miles to kilometers--how can I switch it back?

I have had my share of issues with my Stromer ST-1 Elite and the Platinum they replaced it with due to intermittent electrical issues. My Elite was ridden 1800 miles, and my Platinum has 1900 miles on it. The Platinum has been totally reliable until yesterday. Took off on a 15 mile ride--the...

Happy to report that after many months of waiting patiently, Redshift Sports Shockstop is available. I have installed it on my ST-1. Due to weather where I live, I've only had it out on the street for a few miles, but what I experienced thus far was a major improvement over biking without it. I...

I bought a used gold battery for my ST-1 a year ago. Seemed to be ok, but now may be on its last legs. I can leave it on the charger for hours, but it doesn't seem to want to go above 76% of full charge at the moment. Does this mean what I think it does--that it is losing it's ability to hold...

I am looking into using a BOB trailer with my ST-1. The way the rear axle works makes mounting a BOB trailer a bit challenging. I saw on Stromer's website that they actually sell a mounting plate--(Art. 213522). I called Stromer in San Diego to see about getting the plate, but was told there was...

I hadn't ridden my ST-1 Platinum for about 10 days until this evening. When I got ready to pedal and turned on the bike, I got a reading of 0% of power remaining. That was strange--I'd had it plugged in to the charger for several days, and the green charge light was lit up. I decided to pedal...

I have had two Stromer--both ST-1's--first the Elite, and now the Platinum. Both have occasionally suffered from the safe problem--using different batteries always with 50-75% power remaining--when I went to start the bike after pausing from riding for 5-10 minutes--it wouldn't start up. The...

I have an ST1 and I like doing longer trips with it on rail to trail routes--the Katy Trail in MO, Little Miami Trail in OH, Greenbrier Trail in WV, Elroy Sparta Trail in WI, and the Great Allegheny Passage. I love these trails--you can zoom along up to 20 mph, see some beautiful and historic...

I keep hearing that the ST-2 is getting a major new battery next year--I know the ST-2 uses a different battery than the ST-1 but does anyone know if the ST-1 will be getting something similar? I like to do 100-mile rides, but I live in a fairly hilly area and weigh 220 lbs., so the bike and I...

I would like to know if anyone has tried using a 12V to 120V charger in their vehicle--plugging it into the cigar lighter--and plugging the Stromer battery charger into the car charger to be able to charge Stromer batteries while driving on a trip? I am wondering if the chargers (roughly $20 to...

I took my ST1 in for a checkup at 500 miles. The only real complaint was the pulsing issue. When I got it back it seemed a bit better, though the mechanic didn't really seem to have an explanation about what he'd done. Since that time I have encountered the problem and lately it has been...

We're going on a 2200 mile trip through the UP in Michigan, northern Wisconsin, Minneapolis at the end of September. We have a Prius with a Thule hitch-mounted rack. I am wondering whether I am asking for trouble if I take the Stromer and we go through some heavy rainstorms during the...

Love my ST-1. I rode 15 miles, 650 ft. elevation gain. I weigh 225. At end of ride I had 34% of battery left. Guessing I could have gotten 21-22 miles out of it. I know I am a "load" but does that sound right? Got a small amount of juice back from braking. Also, for someone my size: what would...
