Stromer ST5 ABS Review - .5k

https://electricbikereview.com/stromer/st5-abs/ The Stromer ST5 ABS Review is a one of the fastest accelerating, quietest, most stable, and safest feeling Class 3 electric bikes I’ve ever tested… now with anti-lock braking on the front wheel. The onboard electronics include 4G cellular communications for remote locking, tracking, and over the air updates. The smartphone app lets you tune the motor, the onboard display lets you dial up regenerative braking, the touch display and button pad interfaces are simple but still deep. All of the best touch points including co-branded Ergon saddle, GS1 locking grips, and wide alloy platform pedals. Excellent derailleur with clutch to reduce chain bounce, electronic shifting is fast and tight. Custom Pirelli tires offer volume and width for comfort, stability, traction, and puncture resistance. Optional WREN inverted suspension fork with matching fender and suspension seat post take comfort to the next level and look great. Sturdy and quiet tubular aluminum alloy fenders keep you dry wile supporting the rear rack and light, which has brake activation to go bright. Narrow-wide chainring with aluminum alloy guard reduces drops and protects your clothes. The headlight is crazy bright, has a high beam, and there’s a secondary running light with integrated USB charging port just below. Extra large battery pack extends range but fills fast with the 4.5 amp charger. The bike is super expensive, but it’s really one of a kind and the performance just feels different than the rest. The extra strength, battery capacity, and motor type all combine for a very heavy 72lb footprint. The center-mount kickstand may be necessary for weight, but creates pedal lock. The plastic shield below the downtube seems like it could be more flush or refined.
