Admittedly just the fact it's something new! I like shiny new things, what can I say?
The range is pretty cool, but my bike takes my usage no problem (for the most part) so I don't really need more range. I like the fact that someday you could change the computer settings and get more top speed out of it (from my understanding)

It will not have the performance or the range.. And for $600 in an all in one wheel, it almost seems too good to be true.
The FLYKLY iOS App went live this month, and can be used by anyone as a cycling computer of sorts.

Flykly and Superpedestrian are the game changers, simple, gets the job done and versatile. (if they work as promised to be).
Very few people have the need to use humongous 48v, 17ah battery.
What if the thief breaks the LCD display and damages the GSM chip (then GPS or anti-theft may not work)
Also, if you want to hop onto metro stations with that bike, god save you..!!
It is like one of those cases where a rich college kid buys $2500 MacBook Pro and ends up surfing Facebook on it, while a $400 laptop could have served the purpose. Having said that, Stromer wants to set a benchmark and establish some sort of brand value. They are certainly not eyeing for mass market.

This is what I've heard direct from Stromer, asked if I could quote the email I received and am waiting to hear back. Sounds like limited Europe launch and the US price is still being decided.

The ST2 is a buzz maker. This is the reason it was never meant to replace the ST1. Celebrities and other high level egos are expected to fight over ST2 with paparazzi doing their lion's share. The ST2 will be the "must have" bike for all VIPs and folks that have no choice but "keeping up with the Johneses".
For some reason I never saw TESLA in the release. I was privileged enough to see the ST2 not once but twice, and each time TESLA was mentioned.

Interesting, in what capacity was TESLA mentioned? Just that the ST2 uses the same 18650 cells? I've seen a lot of Kickstarter projects say things like "this bike is like a Tesla!" to sort of draft on their widespread recognition and chic nature

Last year while looking at the ST2 I was told the battery was a cooperation with Tesla. I don't see it in the official announcements but as a brand ambassador for the brand I can ask the right person.

Yes, 34 miles in maximum assist, windy (coming from the front), flat route (no important hills).
In support modes 1, I already did 140 km (87 miles) and still 10% battery left.
In mode 2 (adjustable by the owner) i did 90 km (56 miles) - don't know anymore how much energy left
I didn't hear the motor due to wind sounds

Very cool. And 87 miles is fantastic. If you got it on Friday, then the battery would still be fleshing out. I would expect better distances than this in the future.
Pics please! Perhaps some of your ST2 overtaking your horse?
Congratulations KrrR! Always like it when someone decides to dive in and head for the deep part of the pool! Keep us updated as you go..
