Hi Dutch biker. Where can I find / buy a number plate cover for my stromer bikes. St2 and st7. Rgds wm gate

Do you think the new Angel ST tires on the ST7 have the same wet issues as the ones you have?

you are right about the tires. I fell on wet weather.

What size torx? Rear/front?wheel?

Should never touch the rotor.

Hey Dutch, how's it going? Still riding the ST3?

The only accessory you need is a tune, so it will actually fo 45m/h instead of 38.…..false advertising

Thanks, I need to true a wheel on the bike, I think, because I don't have the key to remove the battery. And I happen to have one of those toilet bolts! (Can you remove the Stromer wheel without removing the battery?)

General question... are you still with your Stromer? Any follow up reports or videos? I am on the verge of an ST3 Pinion purchased and have enjoyed your videos (along with EVery other Stromer video in the universe). Would love some up to date feedback. thanks!

Thanks for the real comments. I am researching and about to test ride the ST3 Pinion w suspension fork. Do you still have this bike? Your being a Bay Area guy… can you give me some feedback on hills and the rear hub? The common wisdom is that rear hubs are not ideal for steep grades. I live in Oakland, CA. Most of the videos and reviews I have been able to find are by folks in the mostly flat parts of Europe. So I have yet to see anyone talk extensively about riding Stromer in the 7-15% grade range. I guess my interest is if there are any serious shutdowns or if it just doesn’t feel right.… but also, even if it’s fine on steep hills, does it impact range in a way that is different than how it impacts range on a mid motor Bosch (I currently ride a Gazelle C380+ with a carbon belt and Enviolo hub). I am older… but reasonably fit. I am not looking for an effortless ride on hills… I just want to know if using a Stromer in the hills will be “all wrong”. Thanks. Maybe, if you still have this bike, this might be a future video suggestion.

Thanks for your advice 👍

Hi, what about repairing punctures, especially on the rear wheel?

I confirm, these tires are much much better. I had two accidents with the Cycle-e ST, both on humid roads. They are dangerous. I recommend everyone to change as soon as possible.

Thanks for the pluses of riding an E bike. I've had my ST2 since 2015 , and still blown away by the Swiss Watch quality feel of this vehicle. The way you can double click smooth gear changes up or down blows my mind. I sure can't do that on my Bosch motors on my other E bikes. You channel is very informative . I subd and liked. Thanks again

Hi, could I ask an advice ? I am a bit worried before buying a Stromer about flat tire on rear wheel alone on the road. Do you know if there are tire "flat resistant" that work with a Stromer ? (sorry if my english is not good).

Sir, what do you think of ST7 model? 15% more power, 18% more torque, electric pinion shifting and …. 50% more price 🥴

2 of your 5 points have 1 and the same cause, missing (front) suspension. The adjustable suspension damping significantly improves grip performance, it's not just the tire, it's the combination. You don't have a super light racing bike, but a heavy and speed-hungry ebike. Front suspension is a must-have and not a nice-to-have item, especially on less good roads. Take your mountain bike and put on the best wide road tires ever, increase the preload, adjust the damping until you're happy on the paved road. Then lock your suspension and tell me about your crappy tires...

Hi Mate, what is the tool to remove the back wheel ?

Are you looking forward to the ST3 Pinion?

I love this review! Often, these videos are simply commercials for the manufacturers. Your review is real and honest. Thanks!

Have you tried Schwalbe Marathon Tour Plus? I really like them on my 2016 Stromer ST2. They’re 26 x 1.75. I adjusted all the OMNI bike setting to super low for speed, torque and agility, just slightly higher on torque. It’s like a whole new machine on assist #3.

IoBT, I literally did LOL at this! Paid big bucks for updating the 2G display to 3G, and it connected even less. Now Stromer sent an email saying the 3G is going away (Duhh!) so I emailed my dealer...no reply. STROMER = You can buy a better bike, but you can't pay more!

Very inspirational video!

Hi! Did you know at how many "nm" you need to lock the back wheel when you replace it ?

I think the brush is small to penetrate the bike curves wheel

Thanks for the 30psi hint! My next test ride on the ST3 will be to try out different pressures over the same lap to figure out how that affects comfort and handling. It might save me the EUR 1090 for a suspension fork that btw got several negative critics regarding its cheap mounting (fender touching the tire in tight curves). And the Kinect might be worthwhile after all....

Nice MTS as well... 😃

I love that you have these videos on the ST3. I just purchased the ST3 (used to have an ST1 years ago) as my commuter vehicle in the Bay Area too. I sold off a standing scooter which just wasn't working out. Appreciate your points about the ST3 being an "intermediate vehicle". It is a misunderstood vehicle on the road. Drivers do seem surprised that you can keep up with them often or even pass them when they get stuck in traffic. Vehicles do cut you off and as much as I'd like to give them the benefit of the doubt, often it seems as though they do so deliberately to assert dominance essentially. Also agree with your point about being courteous. I ride my road bike once a week to work cause it's a shorter distance and the rest of the week on the ST3. Helps to put things in perspective. Your final point about how fun it is is so true. It feels quite liberating to be able to go a long distance quickly. I wanted an e-bike because I have to go a longer distance than I can get to quickly on my steel road bike, also so I don't get there all sweaty. I've watched many of your videos. I contemplated trying out the ST5 Pirelli wheels as you recommend but opted to keep the stock wheels and simply put in a Tannus insert in the tires to prevent the chances of a flat. It's barely rained in so long but I'm wondering your thoughts on riding the ST3 in the rain. There's so little online about day to day use with the ST3.

Great video. What kind of chain lube do you use after cleaning & drying the chain?

Thanks mate, great video, thinking of swapping them over on my brand new ST3. For me, safety is always paramount. I live in Holland (just outside Amsterdam) thus lots of rain here. Quick question, did not see you put an inner tube in, I guess these tyres are not tubeless ???

Good Video!

Thanks for your video. I will go into the same direction next spring, after removing the winter tires. May I ask, which stand you are using with your ST3?

I just got mi Stromer ST3 (probably from the same place you got yours in Wisconsin). It came with 3 problems: the ring button (+, - and low beam) and the shifter don't work. The right brake is not recognized by the controller (the brake light does not come on). However, they seem to be very nice people and they're taking care of the issues. Did you have any problem at the beginning with yours? I love this bike.

I had issues with my ST3 Pirelli tires; several punctures, three in less than a year. My bikeshop, easily the best in Copenhagen, suggested I get Schwalbe Plus MTB instead, and not a problem since. Perhaps Pirelli, as a bike tire manufacturer, is not that hot? Great to see another video from you, Dutch! Keep'em coming!!

Gaadi tubes are quite useful for ebikes. Not sure if you’ve seen them before. No need to remove the wheel at the front or back

will there be another video?

So I test drove the new ST2 with suspension forks and the carbon fibre belt drive system. I was so impressed I eventually bought it. However, I took one more really quick trip with my new Stromer and I hit a bump and it powered off. The thing is this had happened to me on another previous test ride on a different but similarly equipped ST2 - the shop told me they couldn’t replicate this powering down problem and I had kinda forgotten about it. What it sounded like when I hit the bump was basically a loud “click”, then it powered off - my guess is the battery is separating from the magnetic contact points for a split second, both causing the loud click noise and the system shut off. So long story short I returned my new ST2 the next day. Basically the bumps I hit on my five short test rides were, in my opinion, pretty minor/small, and having the unit shut down twice on five short rides was to me a safety hazard. I was just wondering if anyone else has this issue?

Awesome, thank you for sharing. Over 11,000km on my ST2 and haven’t performed a cleaning this throughly. Might be time.

video is really quiet or my hearing is starting to go.

Hi Dutch Biker! Would you now still choose the ST3 over the ST5? Thanks for all your informative videos!!!

Nice channel man 😃👍 subbed 🤙🔥

The comment about taking the battery out I would argue against. The battery door is closed and sealed off very well but only when the battery is inside. When the battery is taken out that door won't be shut and sealed but will leave an open gap. So it's best imho to keep the battery in, it won't get wet because otherwise the bike wouldn't be fit to drive in the rain anyways. When the battery is taken out there is a risk for water to get inside the housing compartment and the electronics underneath. Of course you can tape it off perhaps but then that's the same as leaving the battery in and have the door shut and sealed. Disclaimer: I also own a Stromer (and ST2S to be exact).

I have some points to add: 1. Crank needs reguarly tightening 2. Bottom plate deforms, 2nd in warranty 3. The freehub is crap, makes a horrible sound.

for that kind of money you could buy any number of high end e bikes outfitted with top of the line motor , batteries , components tires , wheel sets , suspension, etc, and still have some money left over for some nice riding gear.

Great video. Will definitely not buy a stromer now . What a pain .... Brompton much easier and good for ur legs.

Hey man thanks a lot great video just 1 question where can buy bike stand here in Canada 🇨🇦 ?!

Roflmao. WTF? Eight to ten grand and you get a bike with an uncomfortable ride that you have to spend more to correct. These are vanity bikes for those with no sense of value...

Hello Dutchbiker. I assume you’re Dutch. Today I had a test ride on both Stromer ST3 and a Klever X Speed Pinion back to back on the same route. I was impressed by both. I like the ergonomics of the ST3. However I reached a higher top speed on the Klever. It was a great experience. Ergonomics: Stromer. Battery: Stromer Speed: Klever Maintenance: Klever

When you put a paper on the top of the frame its easier, better vision and control

I installed a suspension dropper post 2 in 1 on my st5, it is more comfortable than the spring suspended seatpost, allows to drop or adjust the seatpost when descending or changing ride position with a lever. To top it all of it looks much nicer
