Oooh, love the first set you posted. If this is the future count me in!

PM me when you get the details straightened out and I'll cheer you on when you're in the area.

I haven't researched yet. One of the constraints I'll have to solve for is how to store the faring so that I can still commute on the train with the bike. My thinking is that on days I ride down to the office I may still take the train home on the bike car so the faring will need to be able to...

One of the tests I ran when I had the loaner ST2 last weekend was lugging it up my apartment stairs. You can bet I felt every one of those 62lbs! Sadly my building was made before ADA regulations so there isn't a ramp into the building. I don't mind the exercise, but I'll need to make sure I...

I like the experiment. You'll have a turbo button on your bike whenever you want it!

No kidding! That sounds like a great way to spend a Friday afternoon.

We'll see if The New Wheel can pull some magic out of the hat. I suspect I'll have to wait until next spring which is too bad because I'd love to take delivery sooner than later.

Absolutely. I used to own a Kawasaki Vulcan 500 and always desperately wanted a Zero. I sold the Kawasaki a few years ago when I got sick of moving it every week for street cleaning and always finding a new feature (hmm, looks like the mirror got stolen last night, etc.) each time I went to move...

@JoePah That's exactly what I did last weekend. Taking an inefficient route I completed the commute in roughly 1:45. I suspect in I'll get that down to roughly 1:30 as I get better. Plus, with Nirmala and Ravi's idea for a fairing I might even shave the time down a bit further. I'm a pretty data...

That's fantastic! The two of them have been incredibly generous with their time over the last few days as I've bombarded them with questions. Tell me more about this 5,000 mile Guinness Record. Will you be passing through the Bay Area? Do you plan to have a three or four backup batteries being...

@Ravi Kempaiah , I was just talking with Karen and Brett over the weekend about that. Karen said she was meeting with the Stromer reps this week and would ask to see if I could order the 983Whr battery. In Europe this looks to be a 410 EUR upgrade option so hopefully they'll extend the offer...

All great comments. I test drove the Focus Aventura Speed and found that the mid-drive system relied much more on my effort than the ST2 did to hit and maintain 28mph. With the Focus Aventura Speed I averaged around 24mph and with the ST2 I averaged around 27mph on key straightaways that I...

I am optimizing for sustained speed of 28mph (class 3 bike) over a distance of 33 miles (San Francisco to Palo Alto, California). The Stromer ST2 looks to be my best bet. I test drove one over the weekend and it barely crossed the hurdle with less than 5% charge when I arrived at the office. Are...
