    Torque sensor

    Yes. I have an ST1. Had an accident where the rear derrailer bracket was bent. Everything works fine, but occationally when I turn on the bike, the power is more sluggish than normal. I am very careful not to touch the pedals when turning on the bike. However, usually turning the bike...

    Problem charging battery in a new ST1

    Cant advise on how to fix. However, having to remove the battery everytime you charge would be a pain. How did you determine it is not charging? Just make sure that the battery is not full when you charge the battery in the bike because it will turn off if the battery has more than 92-98%...

    Thudbuster / Body Float

    Upguy, I also have a bodyfloat on my ST1. Was swapping the tires for the Continental Kings 2.25 as large of a difference as putting on the "float"? Thanks

    Tire changing kit

    Consider including a knife (to cut the plastic ties that hold the wires connected to the back tire), wrench (back wheel) and allen tool (front wheel) to remove the wheels, rubber gloves (I always get messy after a tire change) and a few plastic ties to resecure the wires that go to the back...

    foolish to but st1 elite with 1600 miles?

    I think this is a good deal if you dont mind a used bike. I would go out and ride it and ask if you can ride it for 15 miles or so. Request that they charge the battery all the way before you start. See how much consumption you use and relate that to how far you think you will ride. If...

    Thudbuster / Body Float

    Understood. Keep in mind that my stromer is not recommended for people over 300lbs. I will say that I was riding 2-3 times a week and dropped about 6 lbs. Then I slightly modified my diet, turned down the power setting (all the way down to eco) and started swimming and I'm hoping to be sub...

    Thudbuster / Body Float

    Call up Bodyfloat. They fixed one up for me. I was probably heavier than you when I started riding about a 8 months ago. It works fine with the spring configuration he set up.

    Thudbuster / Body Float

    I am on a Body Float. Modified by Charlie because I'm in the weight range you are in (Kaldeem). I like the product and have logged in almost 1000 miles on it. no problems

    Hard data to prove E-biking is NOT cheating.

    I am out of shape. So much so that I could not ride a bike because it was just to hard and no fun. I got a Stromer and slowly worked up to being able to bike 28 miles. That was with full power and flat surfaces. Took about 1-2 hours for a ride. I figured that at least I was balancing...

    Help troubleshooting a ST1 computer

    After a charge I noticed the display did not seem right. Specifically, things were not charged up. I pushed some buttons and the display went kooky. I figured it needed a new battery, installed, and then recharged. Everything seemed fine. Then I went for a ride and the speedometer was...

    What kind of bell do you use?

    I bought the orp and got a free remote which makes it easy to ring the bell. I like the "short version" of the bell, but as others have mentioned (86 and still kicking) most pedestrians do not recognize either of the sounds the orp makes as "something coming up behind you, be careful". I can...

    How's your Stromer Battery holding up?

    No "new" information here.... I have 2 gold batteries. The initial battery is 2 years old and I have not seen a reduction in capacity. The newer battery is a few months old and the capacity is the same as the 1st. I cannot easily charge either of the batteries to 100%. It peaks out at...

    Wow, you did a lot of cool things to customize and upgrade to suit your needs. Impressive it sounds really sweet.

    Not bad for an old man!

    Interesting. What did you upgrade from? I have an ST1 Elite with 9 gears and Sora derailleur (so only one ring in the front). I crashed the bike and damaged the derailleur and Sina was kind enough to send me his rear XT derailleur to replace my damaged Sora. I'm just about healed up and...

    Replacing Sora Derailleur on ST1 after accident

    Sina, Today I received and incredible gift of your XT derailleur to replace my damaged Sora! THANK YOU! In about a week I will try to replace it and let you know. I've not quite recovered from the spill and have not had the motivation to check out the torque sensor and the replacement...

    Replacing Sora Derailleur on ST1 after accident

    I take it the torque sensor is inside the wheel well (where the derailleur) is attached. I have not inspected it closely and would not know what to look for. The bike did act funny (and the wheel was going full speed by itself when I went to pick it up), but it seemed OK after I turned...
