Stromer Wins Red Dot Design Award

The Stromer ST5 Pinion is built around an aluminum frame and fork, an 850W hub motor (750W in the U.S.) and Pinion’s C1.9 Smart Shift internal gearbox. Rather than a chain, it uses a Gates carbon belt, making it one of a handful of multi-gear e-bikes using a Gates belt. It also includes Stromer’s innovative anti-lock brake system made in conjunction with Blubrake and TRP.

The Stromer ST5 Pinion provides an outstanding response for riders who struggle with range anxiety; thanks to its 983Wh battery, Stromer estimates riders can get up to 112 mi. of range per charge. The ST5 Pinion is a Class 3 pedelec with a maximum assist speed of 28 mph.

The Pinion C1.9 gearbox offers riders nine gears and it can be shifted smoothly and silently whether the rider is pedaling or stopped. Being able to downshift while stopped is terrific if you happen to forget to downshift before stopping for a light. Starting in too big a gear isn’t good for the long-term health of the motor.

Thanks to Bluetooth connectivity, the Stromer ST5 Pinion offers riders a level of security that isn’t common.
