Stromer ST1 Limited Edition Video Review - High Speed Commuting Electric Bike
bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
https://electricbikereview.com/stromer/st1-limited-edition/ The Stromer ST1 Limited Edition is a limited run (only 399 produced) speed pedelec with premium integrated lights from Supernova and Toplight, Aluminum fenders, rear carry rack from Racktime and Magura hydraulic disc brakes. High end Shimano Deore XT drive train with nine sprockets geared for 28+ mph riding speeds, comfortable Ergonomic locking grips from Ergon, custom Carbon fiber fork with sturdy 15 mm thru-axle. Offers smooth, silent, pressure sensitive pedal assist activated with a TMM4 torque sensor, four power levels, two regen levels and integrated regenerative braking via the right lever. One of the heavier electric road bikes I've tested at ~60 lbs, weight is balanced across the frame and kept low for improved handling, charger uses a dongle to connect to the battery that could get lost easily, chain stays are extra wide and I've clipped them while pedaling.

Those balls on the end of the handle are not to keep your hands from falling off, they are so you don't get impaled by the levers if you crash.

What bikes do you consider this bike's stiffest competition?

Comment on the weight was important, hope folks were listening. Have a Turbo X and I use a rack for long portage -- it keeps you tuned is all I gotta say. The Stromer would not be so slick on rough byways. I like a front shock and 27.5s at the minimum. In the urbs it would be a Q ship. You shed tire rovings on those zombies at the lights. Nice vid. Ear catcher: "Some cool stuff on two wheels is just down the lane." I'm on my way.

Nice review. Personnaly I found there are still some flaws on the bike.
1. Front fender is too short to keep all the water from splashing onto your feet. A mudflap could bring some help, but longer fenders would have been better.
2. Extra bosses for an additional water bottle would have been nice. It's no extra cost for the manufacturar.
3. A Tubus rack is much sturdier and preferable for me. It adds an additional leg to keep panniers away from te spokes, plus it can carry a heavier load while weighing not more than an Racktime. A rack attached to the frame (wishbone) is always sturdier and flexes less.
4. I don't think I would be happy with the wide range MTB sprockets. Gaps are too big for me.
5. I prefer a kickstand on te rear end, in stead of the center. This is much more stable with panniers.
6. And while I'm running down my list....why not a Pinion with a Gates belt. No more hassle with greasy chaines, etc...
For a little less, this one is more my cup of tea http://www.koga.com/en/bikes/e-bikes/collection/e-xlr8.htm?frame=H
Comes with very smooth welds
For me, this looks like a good bike, but at this price....I want a bike the way I want it without any compromises. And that's possible, except it won't be an electric one. -
I got to ride a very similar stromer at the ebike fest in houston, by far the nicest bike, but a little too much for me. I am thinking of doing a homemade one myself, and doing probably a middrive.

Loved the more comprehensive review of the Stromer any plans to test the st2 s in more detail a bike I've been thinking of buying for a while but given how much they cost don't want to make wrong per chase choice
-
ok thats it i am having one ,just ordered today in uk
-
At first I was thinking, "Oooooh, Stromer," but as you started pointing out some of the more ... interesting ... design oddities and equipment choices on this bike, I decided that I'm better off with my Misceo.
-
oh go its so fast and there are some weird noise from the regen i guess.
this vid id cool and the bike is really awesome. god wish it came to india at affordable price. -
this bike is supper sexy.
-
Such a beautiful looking bike.
-
'Masculine jewelry'! Love it. Your reviews are the best.

I am always surprised to see that no bike comes with a rearview mirror. I love having it on my regular bike when I commute to work as the bikelanes can be rather crowded at times. When you have a powerbike like this and are cruising in 28+ mph I suppose it come really handy since you ride in "mixed" traffic with cars. Do you know why this is the case, that noone uses mirrors or equip their bikes with some? Anyway, I like your videos and your review of the Hibike sduro hardtail 29 eventually had me trying one, get hooked, and buying it. Great stuff and great fun!

holy cow man have you seen the new ohm e bikes? they look really nice and seem to improved many things while keeping the power and speed !! nice review by the way the stromer is legit!
-
Nice review with many specifications Inc seat post diameter but I was left wondering how many watts the motor was rated for.
-
alot of electric bike frames lack torque arms or clamping dropouts to make it impossible for the motor axle to slip out. without them the motor can slip out of dropouts
-
Greate camera angle, tnx man you are No1
-
In northern Europe something black on your teeth just means Snus = nuuska here in Finland very normal, no need to explain/excuse it :) On other notes sweeeeeeet bike!
-
Now that bike has about the right level of performance and the torque sensing looks very good.
-
balls on the end of the brakes are so you don't imale your hand if/when you fall off the bike...safely feature
