the city kit is least of Stromer's weight issues.
Do you have an answer to the question?
The bike is already over 60lbs.
+/- 1 or 2 lbs won't make any difference.
The city kit is remarkably light. I didn't notice a difference adding it. Storing my lock and cable in the trunk bag mounted to the city kit is another story...
Anyone install a Nova E3 headlight (without the City Kit)? Can you just plug it into the connector in the battery compartment (or splice)? Thanks!
I took your advice and ordered the Ibera RA5 rack and a pair of extension support rods. I am little confused--will it come with an ABS plastic mounting block to attach to the frame--and if so, is it any good? Or, will I have to do what it sounds like you did--have a tapped aluminum block insert made? Do you have photos by any chance that you could share? Thanks in advance.Take a look at the Ibera RA5 rack ( and RakPak bags )
(Link Removed - No Longer Exists)
It is rated for 55 lbs vs the City Kit rack's 22 lbs ..
It will require bending of its front support rods and making a tapped aluminum block insert
to replace part of the stock ABS plastic one, but worth the effort : it is Strong !
And, Ibera makes several snapon-off bags of very high quality.
