ST2 what is the advantageous it has over the ST1 Platinum ?

[Cuong Tran]

Hey Everyone

I have ST1 Platinum that I commute to work. It's takes me 28 miles to get to work at an average speed of 23 mph. So before I start looking at the ST2 and start making excuses to upgrade. I would like to know from people who has both. To tell me what's the advantageous the ST2 has over the ST1 Platinum. It would be nice to ride faster to cut down commute time.

The ST2 won't get you there any quicker as both bikes top out at 28mph. I wrote detailed reviews on the comparison between the two here:

Ability to maintain top speed and torque without overheating.
The thermal setback limit on ST1 is fairly low compared to ST2.

Ability to program the speed and torque.
The system runs at 48V, as a result, the motor runs more efficiently and range is almost twice that of ST1 Elite if not platinum.

The ability to maintain top speed or close to it can't be overlooked. The more rolling hills to larger hills the more the ST2 shines in comparism. It is much easier to keep top pace as older , weaker rider too.
