$500 Stromer

[Retrorockit]

Thanks for the reply. My research is leading me to about the same conclusion. I could probably get it for $300 or so. Looking at it as a donor bike the...

Looking into this further. Stromer doesn't sell parts. They refer you to their captive dealers. The PAS, Battery controller, display and firmware are...

E bikes are very quiet. If the leader of the herd didn't notice you then the rest will just follow. On E bikes I prefer to give up the aero head down...

A local thrift shop has a Stromer E bike ofor $500. It was stolen, has damaged wiring to the display. Comes with charger, rack, fenders, saddle bags....

Sand and snow are on the menu with fatbikes also. 30 psi with suspension is about right. Under that and the tires are softer than the fork. 30 psi the...

When you add a motor the weight , and speed penalty go away. At higher speeds the tires are too bouncy and become the limiting factor. But the versatility...

[Retrorockit]

That looks like a very old bike, but high end for it's time. I would add some thicker tires (Schwalbe make some E bike versions), and be sure you have...

I don't buy Wippermann 8SE at the $80 list price. When I see them down around $50 I get a couple of them. But I like to do experiments that others might...

I've found the same thing with width and forward vs. upright riding. But riding urban, upright is the way to go for me, and the BBSHD overcomes any aero...

ISM makes a series of sadlles with an open nose for this problem. The Sport provides almost no side to side support and I would avoid it (seems to be...

Check the rear wheel magnet for proper position to the sensor, and if you have a kick stand or center stand be sure the wiring isn't pinched there or...

I just never had a reason to look into it. I see in that particular article they're looking at durability on pedal bikes which is not the same as strength...

[Retrorockit]

Do you have a reference for that? I run 8 speed because that's what I already had and it's enough gears for what I'm doing. I heard it was stronger than...

[Retrorockit]

i would consider a BBSHD 750W version to save that hub. Some people run it 1500W and say its OK. But it's just a matter of tuning to change that and soften...

I don't have brake cutoffs on my TSDZ2 or throttle either. But BBSHD is much more common here. The PAS torque sensing on the TSDZ2 cuts off power that...

[Retrorockit]

There is a delay in the power cutoff when you stop pedaling. The brake switch shutoff is right away. So it's worth having....

[Retrorockit]

A great deal depends on where and how you want to ride. How fast? Is going slow for terrain, or around pedestrians important? Are you looking for a powered...

The difference is that the solid tool only tells you if it's already worn out. The Park CC2 let's me know when it's starting to wear out. My Wippermann...
