Hey Overthehills, lots-o-questions, I wanted to let you know i saw the post and will reply in the next day or so. I did look up the mirror I’m using and still love. It’s rock solid, easy to fold up when going through doorways and a very nice large quality mirror. I’ve had good luck ordering...

Like they always say "your milage may vary". My 814wh battery on my ST2 is now just about to turn 4 years old and I've started to see some decline in my distances. The summer of 2016 when it was just a year old I rode across Iowa on RAGBRAI and I was able to move my 220lb self, my nearly 60lb...

Happy to help out. Just a thought, depending on whether you plan to use a front handlebar bag or not, with the SG2.5 riser version of the HBar you may very well be able to use the original Stromer headlight brackets and attach your light on the back loop at the stem. Without a bag and with the...

Yes, I mounted the headlight to the front loop which just barely has enough wire, although I think it would be fairly easy to splice in additional wire if necessary. I have Jones HBars on several bikes including my Stromer, in each case I started with the 710 width bars, then I used a simple...

Yes, both the derailleur cables and housings needed lengthening which was fairly simple as well as the rear hydraulic brake which was less simple and required fishing a new rear brake line through the bike. Also you'll have to be inventive as to how you attach the headlight to the Jones bar, I...

It’s actually a different rack. The original one that relies on the fender for support wasn’t strong enough in my view. It’s a Tubus Evo rear rack with a Salsa seat clamp rear rack adapter. It’s not just a plug and play installation but it’s not to difficult to make work and it is rock solid...

I realized I actually am showing two different handlebar configurations. The ones in the picture with the trailer are called butterfly or trekking handlebars. I believe I ordered them through eBay or perhaps Amazon but they are out there in the $30-50 range. In the second picture I have the...

As I recall it is 20nm. That is what the 2016 manual calls for https://www.stromerbike.com/fileadmin/upload_media/customer-support/manuals/spedelec/stromer-manual-spedelc-2016-en-3-0-web.pdf

@Over50 - It’s interesting you mention the dilemma of ebike vs non-ebike. I’ve actually toyed with the idea of specing out a standard rear wheel for my ST2 in case the ebike portion becomes problematic, I could order up a standard wheel and send the battery and motor wheel home. This might...

Ravi, I think you're right about charging along the way. One is rarely more than a few miles from an outlet in this country. I think you just have to adjust your daily riding rhythm to be able to take advantage of them. One interest trend I've been noting at State Campgrounds...

Hi Ravi, here are a few photos of the rack sans panniers. Regarding a front panniers option I looked at several possible solutions but I was concerned that some of them would put weight too far forward and higher up. The choice of the Bedrock pouches and the Salsa fork bags gave me both...

After a 870 mile small group ride through the Canadian Rockies on my 40 year old vintage Trek with my Radical Design trailer this summer I came to a couple realizations. I love long distance cycling touring I love camping I can survive some pretty demanding physical challenges The trailer is...

And since I can’t seem to get my photos to appear at the end of my posts here’s a couple of shots of the ST2 with trailer and as a beast of burden rig

I’m currently working on some mods to my ST2 for long distance touring and they include a handlebar bag (similar to the Frontloader) from a company named Bedrock that is attached to a Jones HBar handlebar. With a tent in the handlebar bag, several separate accessory pouches and 2 front fork...

Here is a thread that covers the two different option available. One is a Robert Axle Project solution with a replacement rear axle. The other option is the trailer plates Stromer sells. https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/st-2-bike-trailer.2454/#post-38452

All better now; the new Omni unit I had installed was working fine except for the reboot. Once I got an updated firmware pushed and installed it's working perfectly again. I can't thank Stromer Support folks (Joel and Chan) enough, they stuck with me on the problem and worked it until...

Just a quick update - Stromer contacted me last week and sent out a new Omni unit to my local Stromer dealer who installed it on Saturday. I'm happy to report my ST2 is once again finding a signal and communicating. A couple of glitches seem to be introduced in that I'm getting a fair amount of...

Hi @Marceltt - I'd love to help but I'm not familiar with your bike so it would be hard for me to give advice. I know on my Stromer there is only so much give which limits your options unless you want to start dealing with replacing the internally routed cables. I'm sure it can be done but my...

I went with the 710 and would do it again based on the idea that it's easier to remove length than add it. I removed precisely 7/8" from each side following the old rule of measuring 6 times and cutting once. In my case I was adding a bar end shifter on one side and an in-tube mirror on the...

@Noreen - I went from the original drop bars to a pair of butterfly/trekking bars to the Jones Bar for the same reason. My old neck and back wanted a more upright riding position yet I still wanted to have multiple hand positions for long distance touring. I've probably made 15 or 20...
