I refer to the Stromer ST2.

Lots of things about it I like.

Neat looks, integrated display, integrated big battery, and it should have more than enough poke from the 500W motor.

Not so fussed about the smartfone connectivity, and I suspect the bars might be set too low for me.

A couple of other (minor) things against it.

It costs the earth and they don't flog them in the UK.

Still, I can always dream.

I'll pop out to Switzerland to bring it back for you.

Of course it would only be reasonable that it would require a two week all expenses paid trip, along with plenty of test riding carried out, just in case.

I can always dream as well.

My large framed Grace & Delite are not a generally available bike in the UK.
Have a word with a friendly importer, you never know, given enough interest...

I could be tempted but not a white one.

You can't have one.

Their website states - ST2 is “faster than a car.”
We can't be having that.

Interesting advert. Not sure riding an ebike for me is about turning heads. If anything its the opposite, I like silent stealth setups as its so much fun when overtaking people on hills :)

I thought the clean lines, absence of graphics and monochrome appearance made the ST2 reasonably stealthy.

Don't know about noise, sure to be some, particularly on full beans.

Direct drive motor with regen, in my experience these are virtually silent.
