Ahhh, yes - my dealer mentioned that was a problem on the early bikes and they were having to replace them often. Glad you’re enjoying your bike. It really is a fun ride!

I'm on my third ST7, which I got about a month ago, after the first two completely died. The first two, while they were still working, had the S mode high-temperature shut-off issue. S mode would shut off within 60-seconds on a steep hill climb. My third ST7 does not appear to have this issue. I...

Yeah, all's well that ends well, I suppose. What went wrong with your bike?

Yes, I agree the S mode on the ST7 is effectively just a marketing gimmick since it doesn't provide much value in the real world. My bigger problem turned out to be something much worse. My ST7 developed a problem where it wouldn’t provide power to motor the morning after rides where the motor...

I find the ST7 to be quite similar in performance to the ST5, though a tad faster when really pushing it. I had a nephew riding my ST5 for a few days, with me on my ST7, and he was able to keep up with me on all kinds of hills and flats. I can easily pedal my ST7 to 29 mph, and with some effort...

That's a bummer. Sounds like something your dealer will have to address. :-(

Thanks, Jason. Good to know you’re not having the issues I’m having. Your hill looks less challenging than mine, but also the climb was only about 90 seconds, which is right about the time S-mode turns off on my bike. I did see a post on Stromer’s Instagram account by someone having the same...

Minor but annoying issues with ST7 After a few months with my ST7, I'm generally quite happy with it. It's a fast, fun ride and I ride it just about every day. The two annoying issues I have with it are: 1) I need to climb a fairly steep 700 ft incline to get back to my house. On my ST5, I...

It doesn't close with the battery removed on my ST7. I generally tape it closed with painters' tape. Maybe on new ones?

Thanks for sharing, Jason. I agree that it's generally a good idea to remove the battery -- it is safer (in some states the cops may stop you due to fire risk in case of accident), and the bike will be about 20 lbs lighter on the rack.

Thanks for the quick response! What looked concerning to me in your photo is this rack appears to grip the bike just by the tires. Is that secure enough to keep such a heavy bike stable (vs. the Thule which grips the frame of the bike)? Also, does the ST7’s front or rear fender get in the way of...

How do you like your bike rack? I’m thinking about a new rack that can handle my ST7 and my wife’s Riese & Mueller Homage. It’s a lot of weight and my Thule EasyFold XT2 doesn’t work well with that combination.

Please let us know if adjusting the screw works for you. I haven’t tried the adjustment yet as I just got a new replacement ST7 after mine completely died. My new ST7 has 4.4.1.5 firmware and the issue seems less pronounced, though still noticeable compared to my ST5.

This is the ST7 parts list. On page 2 is the belt. https://stromer-bike.de/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/ST7_2022_V2023-1.pdf

It’s a heavy bike, but without the battery it’s easy to maneuver onto a bike rack. That battery, though, weighs about 20lbs. You definitely do not want to drop it on your foot! 🤕 🩼

With just 170 miles on it, I began getting a charging error that escalated into a system error (#210005) and then my ST7 stopped working altogether. It turned out to be a short at the charging port and it blew up the ST7's distribution board (all the bike's wiring connects to it). My dealer...

Mine is 4G, and when it has a signal, it says “4G” just above the bars.

Wow - thank you for this great post. I haven’t gotten my bike back yet but will try this as soon as I do.

I pretty much agree with everything you say. I just bought the mirror online for about $15. https://www.amazon.com/Mirrycle-MTB-Mountain-Bicycle-Mirror/dp/B0009R96YK/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?crid=9RZTYJ5T0VF&keywords=mirrycle&qid=1682645799&sprefix=%2Caps%2C435&sr=8-2 Like you, I also replaced the...
