    • @forwardselectric
      @forwardselectric 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      This is a great question and good reason for another video, which we have planned. The GSD is the perfect town and city car replacement, we've even done 100+ mile adventures on them while surfing the power modes. They really are exceptional cargo bikes for families or individuals that want to live a better life. They are really nippy and agile due to the wheel size, wheelbase and head angle. The Orox is a totally different beast. It needs to be set free in space and most defiantly wants to be off road. It’s a little big to get in and out of tight town and city spaces and those tyres make no sense on tarmac. It’s slower to respond to inputs due to the massive wheels and tyres, long wheelbase and slack head angle. They are both awesome but made for for different types of adventures.

    • @forwardselectric
      @forwardselectric 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      We remove it and use a parts washer. A home mechanic could use a quick dry degreaser or brake cleaner. Use a tooth brush and a rag but be REALLY careful around the wiring. The wheel should be removed to get at the sensor easier. HTH

    • @forwardselectric
      @forwardselectric ปีที่แล้ว

      No issues really, we have needed to change a gear cable after only a short period of time as it snapped at the shifter. You just need to have the gears adjusted correctly and ease of the pedals while shifting. If you're in the market for a new Stromer and like the ST2 the Pinion is the one to get. www.forwardselectric.com/stromer-st2-pinion

    • @m.b.8536
      @m.b.8536 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I own a st2 with the sturmey archer for 8 months now and no issues with this. If it jerks when changing gear, you have to check the tension. This is very simple: Shift into second gear and then check on the hub that the two markings point exactly towards each other. If not, you can adjust the gears on the handlebars with the small adjustment wheel. Then it will run smoothly again. I have found that gear changes go better if you keep pedaling lightly.
