In June of this year I purchased a Stromer ST1S and have put 550 miles to date. I've been riding motorcycles for 45 years and never really an avid bicyclist. I enjoy cycling to the point I have not rode the motorcycle in a few months.

E-bikes have not yet caught on here in the US but are getting more views each year.

I live 25 MI north of Manhattan in Westchester County NY.

Hey Cip57 how are you enjoying the riding experience compared with your motorcycle? Stromer are participating in the travelling ebike expo which is coming near me in northern Virginia in early October, maybe I'll get to try out an ST1.

Hi Dewey,
I'm really enjoying the Stromer, here in the states its unrestricted and there are codes to unlock the top unassisted speed to 28 MPH on the flats. I've been averaging 20-25 miles and still have 40% battery life left in tour mode. Great bike, I'm looking into the new Giant road-e1 which should be at the dealers soon.

Hello cip57
You are in the same gang as me, I have 2 motorbikes in my garage and I have only been out on the one for a short spin, but I'm out on my e bike all the time.
All the best from over this side of the pond and enjoy the ride.
