With "Omni", the Stromer engineers present a self-developed cloud solution with which the Stromer ST2-Pilot is always connected to the Stromer portal and your own smartphone. A special Stromer app - available for iOS and Android - is available for this purpose, which allows the e-bike to be set individually.

Built-in theft protection
A special feature of this application is an integrated anti-theft device that can also be operated remotely - for example, the motor can be locked. The anti-theft protection goes even further, as the stolen vehicle can also be located via the app using the GPS unit integrated in the vehicle. The Stromer portal also has other functions, allowing e-bikers to find out when the next service is due, for example.

System integration on the frame
In addition to the software issues, the Stromer makers have also further developed the vehicle on the hardware side. The clean appearance catches the eye, not least thanks to the integration of all cables inside the frame. A 20-speed derailleur system from Shimano is installed and the brakes are from Magura. The city kit features a Supernova headlight integrated into the frame and a rear light from B+M, while luggage is transported using Racktime racks.

What does the motor do?
Carbon is the material of choice for the fork, while the voluminous frame remains the same with aluminum
everything remains the same. For the drive, the Stromer relies on a newly developed Syno Drive motor that delivers 500 watts of maximum power and is said to be very quiet, efficient and virtually maintenance-free. A maximum torque of 35 Newton meters is available. The drive provides three levels of assistance, and there is also a recuperation level in which the bike can be braked and the battery supplied with power when riding downhill.

And the range
At around 5 kilos, the battery is not a decidedly lightweight, but should provide a maximum range of around 150 kilometers using 48-volt Li-ion cells with a stored 814 watt hours. An EnergyBus interface is used to charge the battery; this connection ensures that the bike is ready for public charging stations.

Two frame versions
Last but not least: the new Stromer is available as usual in a 25 and 45 km/h edition. The men's frame is available in two sizes with 17- and 20-inch wheels, while the women's version is available with 17-inch wheels. The new vehicles should be available from around April 2014.
