Stromer e-bikes have gained a well deserved reputation for their performance and technology. One of their latest offerings is the new ST5 Pinion bike which is marketed as the executive among e-bikes. The ST5 Pinion sits near the top of Stromer’s bike lineup as their second most powerful bike behind the ST7. As the name implies, the ST5 features the latest and greatest Pinion Smart.Shift 9 speed transmission with electronic shifting that allows you to shift even while stopped. Retail price starts at $11,990 and goes up to $13,338 with the optional suspension fork and seatpost. The ST5 is classified as a Class 3 e-bike as it features a 28 mph max speed in the US with a torque sensor activated rear hub motor. As with other Stromer bikes, the ST5 is fast and powerful with a 110 mile maximum range and large removable 983 Wh battery.
The Stromer ST5 Pinion uses a classic double triangle design with robust aluminum construction and large tubing. With its oversized downtube there is no mistaking the Stromer ST5 Pinion for anything but an e-bike. The shape is constrained by a large removable 983 Wh battery with a square cross section that sits inside the downtube and is accessible via a hinged side door. As you would expect at this price point, the bike is impeccably finished with smoothed welds and a tapered top tube. Stromer currently only offers the bike in imperial red color which has a beautiful satin like finish. It’s a unique design that helps the bike stand out in a sea of black and gray bikes. Branding on the bike is limited to subtle glossy ST5 logos along the downtube and Stromer printed on the headtube and top tube.
Stromer has done an excellent job of hiding all the electronics and technology of the bike with internally routed cables and a clean proprietary integrated handlebar setup. That means all the technology such as the ABS front brakes and cabling are completely hidden inside the bike frame and under a cover panel on the stem. It’s a sleek setup that mimics the integrated handlebar designs of aero bikes and has the same downside of a lack of adjustability. There is also a removable cover on the top of the stem that reveals a mounting spot for cell phone holders which is convenient for commuters who use the cell phone for navigation. Stromer has also integrated full fenders and a rear rack that make it easy to carry gear and ride the ST5 in wet weather.
