Stromer

Stromer, a Swiss brand known for its high-tech e-bikes, offers the ST5 - a premium e-commuter designed to deliver a riding experience littered with industry leading tech. It's equipped with a powerful 750W motor and a substantial 983Wh battery, promising a range of up to 110 miles, making it suitable for long rides and ambitious commutes.

Stromer didn't skimp on the tech, in-fact, it's quite the opposite. The ST5 features the smart-shifting Pinion C1.9 9-speed gearbox, regenerative braking, GPS Tracking, Anti-Lock Braking (ABS), navigation, a sleek frame-integrated display, plus an app to tweak settings like the speeds, torque sensor sensitivity, braking power, statistics, service reminders and ride tracking. Plus, over-the-air updates mean your bike's software stays up-to-date.

The ST5 doesn't skimp in the looks department either, Stromer fitted the ST5 with sleek lines, modern lines and clearly focused on attention to detail. They even used magnesium for the Pinion gearbox to keep things light. Overall, it feels solid and well-made, it looks great, and the ride is smooth and comfortable.

With a starting MSRP of $11,990, there's no denying the ST5's price tag is steep. But if you're serious about e-bikes and want the best of the best in terms of performance, tech, and build quality, the Stromer ST5 Pinion might just be worth the investment. Check Best Price

It rides like a luxury sports car. The 750W rear hub feels incredibly smooth with assist levels ranging from natural to punchy.

Stability, cushion, and great traction from the 27.5×2.4” Pirelli Angel ST Sport street tires.

Packed with awesome, top-tier tech including ABS brakes, Pinion gearbox with electronic shifting, Gates belt, touchscreen interface, security system, and more.

One of the longest range test results we’ve measured thanks to its high-capacity 983 Wh battery.

The ride is comfortable with a relaxed but performance-oriented riding position, dialed-in geometry, and options for a suspension fork and/or seatpost.

Offers two regenerative braking modes including a Cruise Control feature that automatically brakes to an adjustable speed limit.

An impressive range of personalization through the Stromer OMNI app. Adjust torque sensor sensitivity, the speed and power of motor output, automatic braking intensity, etc.

Includes a fast charger for refueling the massive battery in just 5.5 hours.

As a status symbol, this bike stands out from the crowd. There won’t be many other ST5s on the road.

We thoroughly enjoyed the bike’s stable and planted feel, but at 75 lbs (including the battery), it’s relatively heavy. Not an outright con, but something to be aware of.

You get what you pay for, but the ST5 is pricey. The base model starts at $12k with options above $13k.
