The overall ride is very smooth and balanced. Even though the bike weighs in at 62 pounds, it’s not unwieldy. The powerful pedal assist offers a huge boost when crossing over busy intersections! The POD [power on demand] also works well and provides just the right amount of power when cruising up hills. For me, I don’t mind the 20mph speed limit because it is not about how fast I get there. In fact, my commute to work has actually become the best part of my day! Buying an electric bike, specifically the Stromer, has definitely enhanced my joy of riding. Thanks again for your fantastic customer service.”

I couldn’t agree more with her statement about busy intersections. Electric-assist bikes have, more than anything, built up my confidence to ride in day-to-day traffic.

What a fantastic write-up on the Ridekick power trailer. We’re really glad you’re having fun with it. The snow on our streets today left me considering a Ridekick snow tire…

We’re so glad to have you as a Ridekick partner! Happy ‘kickin’!

The Stromer had me gliding through the hills and glad to be outdoors on this fall afternoon.

All the cables – gear, brake and electric-assist – seem to be neatly tucked inside the frame so you only handle the frame as you wheel the bike in & out of the house.

Now to install a computer and see if it’ll indeed go 60 miles on a full charge!

Perhaps Barb also decided to donate a portion of the sale of the car to a bike charity in her area?

Marney, of the Burbridge St Bed & Breakfast (burbridgestreetbandb.com), stopped in to get a flat fixed. She’s lived car-free since 1986, getting around on a 3-speed bike with front basket and the SEPTA bus system.
