Torque sensor adjustment definitely helped. MUCH more impressive ride with the torque sensor feedback increased. I'm convinced an ebike will make my 50 mile roundtrip doable every day. Oddly, I ended up going through 40 percent of the battery on a 17 mile ride. That wear seemed a bit excessive and I noticed there was a 600 Wh instead of the 983 Wh battery installed. I showed them the online specs for the bike and they're trying to figure out what happened. They originally thought the big battery was an upgrade so I don't think they were trying to pull one over on me. I actually don't think they know a ton about the bike lineup. I don't gather that Stromer's are big sellers for them. There's not much reason that they'd know a bunch about them if they weren't feverishly researching them on EBR for weeks on end seeking the perfect commuter! While they're trying to fix the issue, it gives me pause and kind of leaves a bad taste. If I didn't know the bike specs like the back of my hand, I never would have noticed and might have left with a REALLY expensive flagship bike without the flagship battery! Its $6.5k which is roughly 25% percent off and i'm not sure the $4k premium for the Stromer is worth it compared with the Juiced i've got preordered. I've built one of my commuting bikes from the frame up so have the skills needed for my own maintenance. My regular shop is also ready and willing to help with the Juiced so i'd really only need to contact Juiced for electrical issues. I think i'm leaning towards sticking with the preorder (a new batch arrived so hopefully i'll get one in a couple weeks). If anyone on here might want a discounted ST2S and lives in the Washington DC area, i'm happy to send the name of the shop!
