    The new Stromer ST5

    Yes, I found the saddle that came with my ST2 S very hard and uncomfortable for long distances. (Although aesthetically, it's beautiful). I replaced it with an old, cheap saddle from a city bike and am very happy with it, actually! It's nothing special but very comfortable! I would never do...

    The new Stromer ST5

    I have to say, this sounds exciting! Although I am also curious as to why they are skipping the ST3 and ST4...? For future iterations of the Stromer, in my opinion, these are some of the improvements to be made: - Good seat suspension. I don't feel a great need for front suspension as I mainly...

    Touring on a Stromer: long distance riding

    OK, thanks for the advice everyone! So, 130 miles a day is clearly too ambitious. For now I am considering 90 to 100 miles per day. Our battery capacity for two people is the following: - Bikes: One ST2 S and one ST2 - 2 blue batteries (2 x 19.2 Ah) and 1 gold battery (17 Ah) With a long 4...

    Touring on a Stromer: long distance riding

    Thanks to both of you for the feedback! Before going into more details, this is the rough plan we had in mind: - We have 3 batteries and 2 chargers between the two of us. - The idea would be that each day: - we do a long morning ride, rotating all 3 batteries until they are all...

    ST 2 Bike Trailer??

    In the end I didn't go for the Robert Axel Project but got the plates from Stromer instead. I've attached my Radical Design trailer and it all works like a dream! I can carry very heavy loads and fly around without feeling the weight! However, my dealer tells me that it's illegal in the EU so...

    ST 2 Bike Trailer??

    Hi John, I really like the solution you found for your Radical Design trailer. I too have a Stromer ST2 S and a Radical Design trailer. I'm ready to order the same axel you got from Robert Axel Project but would you be able to tell me which axel I would need? They have many on the website and...
