    Total Eclipse

    My family are heading to Oregon for the eclipse. I want to be in totality as anything else does not count in my mind. I thought hard about taking my bike, but decided to travel light and we are going on the train to avoid traffic as much as possible.

    OMNI Custom Motor Settings - assumption correct?

    I ran a test. When I scaled up all three levels to the max I noticed no difference between that and level 3 (where I spend most of my time). I did not run all on the lowest level and compare to level 1 as I have not spent enough time in level 1 to really be able to tell how close they are...

    OMNI Custom Motor Settings - assumption correct?

    I am playing around with the Custom level 2 mapping and there are three sliders to choose from: - Speed(Limits the maximum speed of the motor assistance) - Torque(Higher the torque produces faster acceleration) - Agility(Reaction time of motor assistance) I assume that level 1 all the sliders...

    ST1 X Review

    I keep my PSI around 50 (tire says 35-55). I choose the higher end due to me being a bigger guy (6'3" 220lbs) and figured more PSI would be better - like when I carry weight in my truck. Perhaps I should consider reducing and doing a comparison.

    ST1 X Review

    It is not that enjoyable.... One of the bike paths I take has a lot of tree root bumps in the asphalt, and I can feel it. Even with the body float I feel the need to get out of the saddle. I have looked into adding something, but have not pulled the trigger yet. With that said, it is a lot...

    Elite boost and consistent top speed

    I just wrote a review on my ST1X - not the same as an elite, but I can give some feedback. There is a big difference between a 20 mph and a 28 mph ebike. The 20 mph ones I seem to feel it is always held back - 28 is a lot more fun. For me it is easy to get and stay at 27-28 on flat ground...

    ST1 X Review

    I thought I would give my ST1x review as it has been around a month and 200 miles since I received it in the mail. Sorry for the long post, but I hope someone will find all the information useful. ORDER: I decided to place an order with an E-bike shop instead of buying from my local shop...

    Can't decide what to get

    Thank you all for your input. I just ordered a Stromer ST1 X in 22". It will come with the ST2 "gold" 814wh battery and a BodyFloat. It is above my original budget but I feel really good about the price I landed at and all the boxes I checked on my list. Once I have a few hundred miles...

    Can't decide what to get

    Thank you all so much! I don't have an intention to do a 50 mile ride full out at 28 mph, I just want to be able to ride without losing all power. I will check out all the suggestions people gave. But currently I am considering a Stromer ST1 Platinum (in price range) or a ST1 X (over price...

    Can't decide what to get

    I drove out to a dealer that carries Stromer and rode a ST1 S. I did not like that it cut-off power at 20mph, so a 28 is a must. The dealer said there is a hack to take off the limiter and also turn the power button into a throttle so that sounded interesting. Are there any opinions on the...

    Can't decide what to get

    I should mention I am also interested in a Stromer, but they fall outside the price range and don't have a throttle which makes me wonder how important that is.

    Can't decide what to get

    Hello, I've spent way too much time researching and not enough time on a bike. I am hoping this is the month I make a purchase. The bike will be used to both commute and go on fun rides. My commute is about 8 miles each way with large hills. I will need a rack as I don't like riding with a...
