STROMER 2020 CONCEPT BIKE

[Petropoliskhan]

Saw this today @ velofollies in Kortrijk Belgium
The Stromer 2020 concept will sit between the new ST1 and the ST3 in terms of power and price. As it stands it features a 5 speed integrated gear hub by Sturmey Archer

It looks like it says ST2 on the fork. Does anyone know if they are calling this concept bike the ST2?

It's the same heavy clunker with unappealing design lines, no personality , just like the Bmw, Benz and all other west European ICE cages.

BMC from the same country as the stromber does a great job with their ebikes design and performance !

5 speed hub? That's really disappointing.

A mid-hub like a pinion would make a lot more sense.

That is a TDCM hub motor: https://www.ebikes.ca/shop/electric-bicycle-parts/motors/rear/igh-305.html

Bmc use to own stromer didn't they?

I agree that their higher end models should have a pinion + belt option instead of a cheap 5 speed igh(nothing wrong with it being cheap, the problem is its range being very limited). Even an 8 speed is fine as long as there is enough range.

Looks like the Pedego Conveyor https://www.pedegoelectricbikes.com/product/conveyor/

I don't think it looks anything like the Pedego, other than the color. I'd like to ride the belt drive to see- it could make a quiet bike even quieter. I only use the top 6 gears of my 9 right now, so 5 might work.... Cracks me up how people bash Stromers about weight and looks; to each his own. Do batteries and motors that look like tumors growing out of the frame look better? To some, apparently they do. Do I care that my 60lb bike is heaver than 45lb bike? Nope., I regularly pass those bikes on my 'tank'. Anything over 15lb in a bike is a heavy turd, anyway.

Buy and ride the bike you like. I rode 6 before I chose, and it was an easy choice after doing that. I don't bash on the other 5, tho...

I love my Stromer but I do think they will need to reduce the weight to stay competitive. I am a big guy and it isn’t easy to move around.
