    Santa showed up at my house!

    Congrats! The black liquid is scratch paint. I had the same question when I got my bike in the box like you did. I left the reflectors off and have installed an aftermarket light and one of those battery powered blinkers on the back instead.

    Stromer ST1 - Recup 1&2 Stopped Working

    Does setting the 1009 to '0' remove the 2 recup modes from the menu? If it does, perhaps this is all that the feature is designed to do (with braking still engaging the recup 2 mode)? Just speculating. But personally I don't know why one would want to disable the recup modes. If nothing else it...

    Stromer ST1 - Recup 1&2 Stopped Working

    Thank you, Optimax. You are absolutely right - it started working again once I reached 70% battery level. Thanks for solving my imaginary problem :). Good to know that there is nothing wrong with the bike.

    Stromer ST1 - Recup 1&2 Stopped Working

    I thought about it initially, but the battery is now at 84% and it still won't work. Also I don't recall ever noticing the regen/ recup mode not working before due to charge level.

    Stromer ST1 - Recup 1&2 Stopped Working

    I went for a ride on my ST1 Elite today and noticed an issue with Recup modes 1 & 2. When I switch the control unit to Recup modes 1 or 2, nothing happens: charge is not indicated on the display and I also can’t feel any change / slowing down in the bike’s momentum that i experienced before in...

    It's been a while, but I finally got my bike fixed under warranty. Turns out that the freewheel was faulty and needed to be replaced, I finally got it done yesterday. Hopefully this issue is resolved for good now. If anyone has similar issues, here is the link to the video recording the noise...

    I've listened to it again, not a clicking noise, more like a bit of a grinding noise. I want to believe that it is 'normal', some kind of break-in or maybe the noise is coming from the hub motor itself, but I emailed the dealer with the question, will see what they say. Maybe I am overthinking...

    It could be, I am hoping that's what it is. I will try to listen to it again. Thanks David.

    Thanks, JoePah. Well I wasn't going 55km/h all the time - only when I was going downhill for like a minute tops, but the noise is there at lower speeds when I stop pedalling.

    Hey guys so I took my new ST1 Elite bike for a ride today around town and on some serious hills, it was super fun and I 've even hit 55km/h going downhill and pedalling. But here is what I noticed: when I 'd pick up speed and stop pedalling there was this noise coming from the rear hub as if...

    What online Stromer dealer do you recommend ?

    Yes, you are right, buying locally is preferable. I just got my bike (from Scooteretti based in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) yesterday, but here is the local Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada Stromer authorized dealer (the only one on Vancouver Island at the moment), located in Langford...

    What online Stromer dealer do you recommend ?

    For those in Canada, I have just received my ST1 Elite, which I purchased online from Scooteretti (http://shop.scooteretti.com) a dealer based in Ottawa. I purchased the bike on sale, and I am very happy with the price I paid, as well as the service I received. These guys helped me select the...

    My ST1 Elite was delivered today! Thanks to all of you guys for advice, the assembly was pretty easy, it actually took me longer to unpack the bike. All I had to do was install the front wheel, the pedals and the handlebar, as easy as the online guy had promised it would be. Glad I got the 20"...

    New Stromer ST1 Elite

    Thanks opimax. I might just go with aftermarket since i am not planning on riding after dark anyway - I would just install those battery powered safety lights, that's all I need, so not concerned about the lights being hooked up to the main battery. Any advice on the aftermarket mudguards...

    New ST1 Elite Owner Looking for Advice

    Thanks JoePah. From what the online sales guy told me, the assembly should be very easy, just install the pedals, the handlebar and the seat - something like that. When i was speaking with the local dealer he told me that 'the spokes on the rear wheel with the hub need to be properly tightened...
