Thanks. This is very reassuring. Ill be riding stress free. While I have your attention... I've heard of "over torquing". Do I have to worry in power mode in low gear pedaling hard on a steep grade? I'll take the buzz over the extra cash for the st2. This bike is awesome and the buzz was my...

Does anyone else hear a buzz when taking off from a stop on your ST1 Platinum? It sounds like it's when the motor is being torqued then goes away once in stride. I'd say 3 or so pedal rotations before it goes away. Maybe less. Imagine your tire briefly rubbing against a playing card as it...

Thanks for that advice. I'll try out the Anker charger for my phone etc. to see if it's worth keeping. I'm wondering how much juice the Stromer takes to charge at full capacity like it's plugged into the wall. Even charging at half the rate seems viable for a 40 min or so rest stop during a long...

I saw a sweet deal on an Anker solar charger ($49.99 crruently) http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E3OL5U8/?tag=kinjadeals-20 It opened my mind to the idea of wiring this to my ST1 Platinum and riding on a sunny day. I ordered it. I plan to mount on my rear rack for nice exposure. Electrical...

Welcoming the ST1 Platinum to the family. Awesome bike after 3 rides.

I went with the Topeak. Now for experimentation with the PB fenders. I ordered the ones you told me, Lenny, but it doesn't look like they'll fit. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RYBGKM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I think these are the ones Gus got...

Will the Racktime Snapit adapter work on the ST1 City Kit? https://www.bikebagshop.com/racktime-snapit-adapter-p-1604.html I'd like to use this bag with panniers that hopefully wouldn't hit the rear wheel (Link Removed - No Longer Exists)

Has anyone seen this? Would it attach to the City Kit rack? https://www.bikebagshop.com/racktime-snapit-adapter-p-1604.html Supposedly the ST1 rack is a Racktime. I read that here http://electricbikereview.com/stromer/st1-platinum/ I want to use the City Kit with this bag (Link Removed - No...

Thanks, Gus. Where did you buy your standoff bracket? I'll be checking Hope Depot if I go this route. Any specifics you remembers on the part as far as size/measurements? Thanks for the recommendation on Lumens for the light. I'll be starting out with Cygo 680 rather than 320. It just arrived...

Can you please give more detail and pics on this minimalist installation? My PB fenders arrive next Tues. I'll either be going minimalist or Gus's way.

I'm going to order this 680 Lumen Cygolite http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00E1NPYQM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1UPNX51AIZ0NI and compare the two. Or maybe I should just save time and send the 360 back. Doubling both lumens and battery life is worth the extra $25 for me.

Thanks for the advice. I ordered the 360 lumen light based on a wirecutter.com recommendation. I have Amazon Prime so I can easily send it back or order a second. I will be on a very dark trail.. in spots. At the speed this is capable of it will get dangerous without a well lit path. Which light...

Great, thanks. These fit the ST1 fender mounts without modification? I'll likely order these and maybe spray paint them matte black to match. Nice price. I also would like to get rid of that Planet bike logo. Is that a sticker? Update: Ordered. Thanks again. This community is amazing.

Good tip. My Jagwire's are already ordered so I'm committed. Were they easy to install yourself? I've never done it. Make sure you're breaking them in properly. When stopping, wait longer than you normally would and apply extra force. Do not be "nice" to your brakes to break them in. Do not...

Thanks for the reply. I need the panniers and love the quick release. I'll lose some style points but gain utility. Beautiful photos by the way. I live in NYC but dream of San Francisco.

How did you get that Topeak bag attached to the city kit? Is it still quick release? I have the same bag and the shop is installing the topeak disc rack custom on my ST1 Platinum. I didn't want the city kit due to price and the rear rack just didn't seem robust enough. I'm still searching for...

I just ordered my ST1 Platinum! (Black, Large) It should be ready for pickup next week. What I'm adding/modding right away: 2" cut off handlebars both sides. NYC traffic is tight. Ergon GP3 Grips Topeak Disc Explorer Rack. I guess this is a custom installation but they're doing it for free. I...
