I'm just waiting for them to go on "sale" lol. I"m sure my existing stromers will only be worth 33% or less of what I paid for them by the time an ST3 or an ST5 go on "sale.
I've learned, the most difficult thing before you start in the dark to ride is to insert the blue battery properly. A white sticker helps me to identify "this side up".If you were going to ride at night it would be nice to know if there was something immediately in the way before you began pedaling.
Yes, even in the US, the ST1 and the earlier models then will be gone. Also the ST2 will be sorted out - but for several reasons, that ST2 / ST2s might be the better for certain users.I"m sure my existing stromers will only be worth 33% or less of what I paid for them by the time an ST3 or an ST5 go on "sale.
I sold one st2 comfort two years ago( for over 50% of list) with 2k miles on it, to buy St2s. Recently bought another new st2 comfort while they are still available.I'm just waiting for them to go on "sale" lol.

That is a cool looking WREN fork. No problem in installing the fork?I sold one st2 comfort two years ago( for over 50% of list) with 2k miles on it, to buy St2s.

I don't think there is any thermal management built into the battery. As one starts using the bike, the battery warms itself up but it DOES affect the range. The power may not be affected but I am sure range does take a hit.I left the battery in the ST3 outside during the night at -4ºC. After the start in the morning, everything runs well. But to protect the battery from loading, the motor brake is disabled. A few km later, the 0ºC barrier in the battery was overcome. Now, all functions are available. My ride was less than a half hour in the cold and dark morning. Nevertheless, the battery warms itself up to 10ºC (and the motor even higher). Overall, I felt no lack of power or another hindering.

The battery has lost less than 10% during the night with bluetooth active. But the loss is difficult to measure, as the starting value was read from a warm battery (after my ride home).
There was a minor issue installing fork. The taper on steerer from 1 1/2” to 1 1/8” on carbon fork happens fast(in a short distance), but wren and Rockshox taper is a little longer. Last time I solved problem by buying Stromer branded Suntour, but this time I looked up into headtube and found U light backing plate had “gussets” that I ground off to make forks fit.That is a cool looking WREN fork. No problem in installing the fork?

It would be much easier on the battery if we don't stress them with extreme temperatures![]()
Yes, for sure.It would be much easier on the battery if we don't stress them with extreme temperatures![]()
Sad to hear this, especially as a skilled bike mechanic shall be able to fix that all. Here in Switzerland, bicycle-related problems are rare. Here in Switzerland, bicycle-related problems are rare. Luckily for me, after a few changes, my bike store and Stromer representative is now well established and also skilled in more typical Stromer problems. I hope, you'll find also such one.... not having any good luck w/our ST2s...brakes keep leaking, fenders loose, parts and serfvice availability getting worse....
I’m sad to hear also. I learned how to bleed brakes myself last fork swap. Any parts that would cause leaks are very inexpensive, any shop that would send back a bike with bad brakes is another example of people not caring.A good part of the issue is poor repairs. Bled btakes 3 days later no pressure in line, should have replaced parts and not just leaking parts...contaminated the pads and the rotors, now discolored. These should have been replaced when they fixed the leak.instead I get the bike back , attempt to ride, couldn’t stop well at all took other bike after wasting time getting ready and cleaning rotors with alcohol so they weren’t wet w/fluid. Part of the issue is waiting weeks for parts too.
I am being kind it is worse than I write....
New fork option available.
I believe that Stromer ST3 with the new OMNI-C and 983whr battery would be superb commute vehicle.

That’s HOT good news!,,,
Suspension fork for ST5. Better late than never, maybe I’ll consider a st3 after all!
