Stromer ST5 ABS Review - $10.5k

The Stromer ST5 ABS Review is 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. 0:00 Introduction and anti-lock brakes overview 1:09 Class 3 speed pedelec, high price tag $10,500 1:48 Custom joined stem and handlebar, Ergon locking grips 2:17 Pirelli tires with 5mm thickness 27.5" x 2.4" 2:29 Premium Supernova integrated lights with bright modes 2:55 Safety overview, sturdy tubular aluminum alloy fenders 3:21 Standard fork and seat post, optional suspension parts 4:45 Co-branded Ergon saddle, platform pedals, crank arms 5:14 Narrow-wide chainring, Shimano cassette and derailleur 6:01 Bottle cage mount, super smooth ground weld seams 6:29 11-speed 11-42 tooth cassette, electronic shifter buttons 7:22 Rims, spokes, direct drive hub motor, weight details 8:54 Regenerative braking and recoup, theft prevention & GPS 11:07 Rear rack, rear light, chainring guard, pedals, kickstand 12:45 Large disc brake rotors, motor power cable, charging port 13:17 Battery unlock and remove, battery capacity details 14:10 Battery charger details, powering up the display 15:12 Recoup (hold - button to adjust), other display readouts 17:13 OMNI smartphone app walkthrough 18:11 Ride test begins with handheld camera 22:33 Drivetrain and motor closeups, noise test, brake test 23:07 Walk assist "Move" test with adjustable speed! 23:44 Body cam shots, riding around and jumping a curb 25:25 Conclusion, thanks, resources: compare & local shops Full review with specs and comparison tool: https://electricbikereview.com/strome... → Become a Subscriber: https://www.youtube.com/subscription_... → Instagram:   / ebikereview   → Facebook:   / electricbikereview   → Website: https://electricbikereview.com/ → My Channel Home Page:    / electricbikereview   → This is the first accessory I add to any electric bike: https://amzn.to/3aX2dKD → As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. *If my video review was helpful, please give it a "thumbs up" and consider subscribing.* Disclaimer: Due to factors beyond the control of EBR, I cannot guarantee against improper use or unauthorized modifications of this information.
