To the ST1 that I ran into today...

It's an odd sensation watching a bike pull away while I'm doing 52 km/h.

Thanks for making my (dongled) Haibike feel like a kiddie toy

32 mph +, which means his bike had to be modded also!

I can hit 32 downhill , and not a small hill in "power" . i have seen 33 once, i want this mod!!! I would guess a different large ring??

If it was an ST2 I see that. My bike w/the same city kit looks a lot like a 2 if you aren't careful

Caveat: I swapped out my tires when I bought my bike, and I've never done a true calibration for the circumference setting in the computer. So it's possible my speedometer is slightly off.

With my Stromer, I can go above 52 km/h. Not downhill, in the plain and without wind. Gear settings are 52 / 11, this means 1rpm = approx. 10m. With a ST1, I couldn't exceed 48 km/h - even with 4 Bar, fully charged battery an all the strength I have. The reason might be the efficiency of the ST1 motor. Above 45 km/h, most electrical power is transformed into heat.

So, maybe you've met a classic Stromer. Easy to identify by the color of its motor.

The term dongled is your clue. I've seen 40 mph on my Haibike, downhill and pedaling like a mofo! 28 - 33 is actually quite common in Trubo. -S

Bah, back in the day they were a few hills where I could hit 58-9kph on my stock circa 95 Raleigh mountain bike!

/end thread!

Well that bike didn't have the weight or motor which these do. I would like to go faster , I wish I knew what was done. I doubt their are any of the Euro spec hot rods here in the States but maybe

Platinum? My ST1 hits 30mph with relative ease. Peddling hard but not all out. Usually in City mode set at 50.
