I have the full spec golden ST7 LE. I commute 60km/27mile / day since jan.2023. I love this bike! Very beautifull, got a lot of nice comments from other people. It changed my commute from 2x 1.25 hour heavy traffic to 2x 40 minutes of pure fun.
i have the same bike, did 4’500 km on it and i absolutely love it. Main use case for me is 40 km daily commute, but i also use for recreational purposes.
Jason: I know it may not feel like it with "only" 150 subscribers, you've absolutely made a huge difference in my experience with Stromer and my new ST7! From feeling confident to buy and identifying accessories, keep it up and you'll get quite a bit more followers! Awesome video quality too - kudos!
Thank you so much for the encouragement and feedback. Still not comfortable being on camera but thats part of it I guess.. Glad I was able to add value. Let me know if you ever have any questions.
Belgium, woohoo :-) I have an ST3 Pinion Red Bull Edition and I simply love that bike for commuting, but I'll have to try the ST7 someday too, nice ride :-)
Thanks for sharing your story Jason. I’m not Strömer owner but saw a local advertisement for the brand and wanted to checkout some reviews. I bought a kalkhoff pedelec 28 miles rated bike a couple of years back and went from not having biked for years to using at least 2-3 times a week. It is one of the best things I have done for myself as it keeps you active and I have stopped using the car for all my local commute and shopping. I’m totally onboard with the concept of paddle assist biking and the fact that you need to put energy into it before you move. I heard you mention that you would like a feature for automatic tracking of your bike rides. I would recommend to take a look at garmin they have a little device you fit on the on the wheel of your bike. It starts tracking the minute the wheels start turning. I think your channel is the start of a personal journey for you and your bike set some goals and show the rest of us what you and bike can do and have fun while doing it. Lastly to all the haters saying that it is an overpriced bike - remember the difference between boys and men is the price on their toys. Greetings from denmark
Denmark…hello …thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment. And I couldn’t agree with you more…I have lots of toys 😁. I will look into the garmin.
Hi and thanks for your 1year review. i see a lot of negative comments on ST7 being over-torqued resulting in its motor shutting down prematurely due to overheating e.g. if using the Sport mode for too long or if pedaling too long uphill on steep hills. Question: have you or has any ST7 owner here experienced the ST7's motor shutting down prematurely due to overheating e.g. using the Sport mode or pedaling too long uphills? would love ST7 owner's POV on this! Thanks again!
@@rptempmail1 Hi.. I have never had a motor “shut down” however it is 100% true that sport mode will default to assist level 3 if it gets over heated. You are also correct that uphill (when you need the assist level most) is when this is most likely to occur. Outside temperature also is a consideration . If it is hot outside (above 85F) the time in sport mode is shorter than below 80F. Keep in mind all other assist modes will still work. Once the motor cools down for example you can once again use sport mode.. Example.. you get the warning on the OMNI that sport mode is no longer available you can continue to ride.. and then in 5min or so you can go back into sport.
Hi.. !! 70 miles that is incredible and inspiring. And thanks for the info about Bikes and Care. :) All places I want to visit now. Thanks for watching.
@@bertappermans2049 HI.. Congratulations.. When you get it you will have so much fun. That is a fantastic benefit to have thru your company, that is not even a consideration in the U.S.
Good question.. I just looked it up.. I dont know if the one you are looking at will work because of that angled piece... you might want to also order just the round mount www.mous.co/products/intralock-adaptor-disc-with-universal-accessory-adaptor as well and try them both out. Make sure whereever you order from will let you retrun it.. I am thinking just the round mount will work and then you can lock in your phone just like SP Connect.
I live in Switzerland. It's a great bike but....... here are some complaints:- My 14 grand (CHF) ST7 motor overheats on flat rides after 10 miles - no hills - and the S mode then stops. In 3 it's difficult for me to see the assistance being better than my wife's 3 grand Diamant bike! Awfully hard to pedal. The motor then only cools down after another 10-20 minutes minimum. This is in ALL temps of 8 to 38 degs C (the warmer, the more it overheats obviously). Doesn't matter. The bike is also very difficult to calibrate and STAY calibrated. Bumps knock it out and then you have to recalibrate it. This is on 2 replaced sensors since purchase. The Pirellis gave me 3 punctures in a year. I changed to Schalbe PickUps - no punctures. Solutions:- Drill holes in the motor casing for ventilation. Yeh, right! (flawed design imho). It's like paying 4 million for a Bugatti Chiron which gives you 1500 horse power for only 20% of your drive..... and the rest is not more than a Golf GTI. Redesign the calibrator and stop giving us the more expensive overhyped Pirellis. Overall it is in NO WAY worth 14 grand and I am now looking around for a replacement.
@@1thaleb Hi… thanks for watching and your comments.. I agree with your comments and while I haven’t experienced everything you have there are some common issues. I recently had the torque sensor replaced the bike is working much better now. Did have a flat not due to a puncture but due to a pinched tube so that sucked.. I do have the Tanus (I think that is the brand) tire liners installed.. As far as sport mode I agree that it is limited based on outside temp, also if I use it up hill it could be a shorter amount of time. I get maybe 10-15min in the summer but I have not had a problem in cooler temps but I am in an extreme heat region. As far as the overall motor overheating in any of the other assist levels I have not had a problem. It will be interesting to see if Stromer adopts the Pinion power unit in future bikes. Thanks again for commenting.. Ride Safe.
@@xaviermaillard Regen works great both when you squeeze the break handles (saves your breaks) and when going downhill for longer periods you can activate regen and now set a cruise control speed . Example if you don’t want to go faster than 30mph you can set that in the display.
I was watching your video and couldn't help but think that it must be nice not having to worry about chipmunks or squirrels running into your path. I don't ride faster than 20 mph, and even then, the trails that are used where I live are inhabited by the small creatures that I have to be careful about. Not only am I worried about running them over for their own sake, but it is also a danger to the bike and myself. It must be nice not having to worry about that issue on your path. The only potential threat like mine I can think of would be snakes in your case?
@@jasonlynch9979 I'm in the Midwest. It's funny that you mentioned that you grew up somewhere else. I believe I understand it to be SFO area from the videos I have seen in the past? I don't know how that climate differs from ours here in the Midwest, but I do have a patch of the trail, where I have to be going no more than 10 miles an hour and constantly having my fingers on the brake levers because there iare several families of bunnies that tend to jump out and run in an unpredictable manner across my way.
@@jasonlynch9979 I also forgot to mention that deer can also be a potential problem, but I do have my night lights at all times when riding any time it's dark or dusk. They tend to walk onto my path but they're easier to spot because they're larger and they tend to run more predictably
I'm sorry from a excerise standpoint this bike do 80-90 % the work for you and it's pedalling for optics. a normal light bike without engine and weight is way better for the goal exercise.
Hi Darkstar. Thanks for watching and your comments. First, I agree with you 100% that the two are incomparable. However, I'd like to give you some context about my view on exercise regarding this bike and how it has benefited me. To give you some background, I played water polo for a champion-winning team in high school for two years, which meant 5 a.m. daily practices and 4 p.m. games. In addition, I rode my bike to and from school and work about 20 miles per day (way before electric bikes existed), so I understand exercise. As I got older (I am 54 now), I hated exercise, I focused on the wrong things, I had multiple surgeries, and life just got in the way. My highest weight was 260 lbs. Seven years ago, I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. I changed my diet and dropped down to 245lbs. I would go to the gym and would hate it. I would try to swim again and hated that. I had a regular bike and would be lucky to ride 1 mile, which was no fun. I bought the Stromer last July, and since then, I have been riding every day (weather permitting) and absolutely love it. As I stated in the video, finding a bike that did not have a throttle was essential because the goal was to move. I can ride further and stay out longer, and even using your estimation of 10% - 20% effort on my part, that is way more than what I was doing, and I am consistent. Depending on how long I stay out, I can burn 400-1000 calories per ride, my legs are sore, my heart rate is in my target range, I sweat, and my core is stronger. There is a mental aspect to riding as well; the experience is fun. I miss it when I don’t get to ride, and as of today, I am down to 195 lbs., where regular activity is part of my regimen. I feel better at 54 than I did at 44, and I still have a way to go towards my target, but I am having fun getting there. So, my point in all this is if there is someone I can connect with in a similar situation, this is a way that you can get out and have fun while moving your body. Slow progress is progress, but with this bike, the ride is at a faster speed . Thank you again, and ride safe.
@@jasonlynch9979 Yes for the context its exercising for your circumstances I could complete understand please don't misunderstand me. I think about regular people without living in this weather conditions and health issues etc. they maybe fit better with a normal bike wihout engine and challenge themself without any help what they really don't need. I have a colleague with diabetes type 2, asthma, now below 265 lbs and he has starting is journey a half year ago of with walking and hiking and he has still fun. Yes every activity is worth it no matter what. From my european prospective this bike you called it tesla I think it's more a cybertruck. Also in my country this bikes very limited you can't use it compare to smaller limited speed e-bikes 15.5 mph. I think you can't use it without the smallest driver licence and you can't use it on a normal bike path you have to use the regular street that's all makes it not really appeling for the regular bike riders. Rules and regulations sometimes makes no real sense. Thanks and have fun on your rides 🙂
