FEATURES

 

We’ve listened to feedback from test riders and customers from all around the world in the making of the new feature-packed STRØM CITY M 2.0. Check out all the cool features below:

 

Hidden battery – detachable for easy charging
STRØM CITY M 2.0 comes with a 10,4 Ah LG battery that is hidden inside the lower frame. The integrated locking system makes it easy to detach for charging in approximately 3-4 hours.
With our standard 10.4 Ah (375 Watt-hours) LG battery, you get a range of up to 60 km/38 miles. Or upgrade to our 14Ah (504 Watt-hours) “GO Further” LG battery and get up to 80 km/50 miles.


Integrated lighting system
STRØM CITY M 2.0 comes with a fully integrated lighting system that starts at the push of a button. This lighting system makes your rides safer and more convenient with brake lights and multi-blinking functions. Say goodbye to lost or stolen bike lights and hello to peace-of-mind commuting.

 


New powerful & silent motor
Take advantage of up to 400 Watt* of electric motor power with our new improved motor, which can take you from 0 to 35 km/h* in a matter of seconds. The mini rear motor is built to be durable, powerful, and silent. Choose between a 250W (EU model 25 kmh/15mph) or 400W (US model 32 kmh/20mph) motor.

 


Displays 
STRØM CITY comes with an LED display that allows you to adjust to 6 different assist levels (1-5) and shows the battery level. It also features a fully integrated USB charging system, so you can charge your mobile device “on the go”. Or you can upgrade to our intelligent computer display, which shows battery level, assist level, distance, trip meter, speed in km/h or mph, and more. 
 


Automatic drive function (US model only)
The automatic drive function (turbo throttle) allows you to ride fully electric without using the pedal assist. Please note that this function is only available on our US version, as current legislation does not permit the throttle function in most European countries.

 


Puncture-proof tires
There is nothing more discouraging while out biking than hearing that distinctive hiss from a tire. Say goodbye to flat tires and hello to STRØM CITY M 2.0’s puncture-proof tires.

 


Plug and play wires
We have an innovative screw wire system that will make you able to switch our components quickly. The system is IP68 waterproof. A smart system for remote repairs and new accessories.   

 


Disc brake system
STRØM CITY M 2.0 is installed with dual disc brakes to ensure quick and reliable braking power. The 160 mm are preferred on modern bikes. We have installed a direct cut-off on the breaks for a complete motor kill when you brake for extra safety.  

 


7 Speed Shimano 
We install our City M 2.0 with a 7-speed gearing system from Shimano. In our mind, an e-bike should be a flexible transportation choice and not only limited to riding with electricity. The 7-speed gear is great for commuting with zero electric assists on days looking for more exercise on the bike.

 


Ergonomic grips & saddle
A well-shaped Selle Royal Havoc saddle matching the quality grips ergonomic grips. The ergonomic medium-wide shape saddle adds to the comfortable experience.       We have also added a convenient handle in the back excellent for parking the bike. 

 


Danish design & quality
The component has been carefully selected to ensure your e-bike will last for years. Our bikes are made of carefully selected components and materials – We use 6160 aircraft grated aluminium and stainless steel to avoid rust of any kind.

Front low with lights

We have done it before… Delivery Guaranteed!

 

 

 

Being our 4th crowdfunding campaign over the last 5 years, we have delivered more than 4500 STRØM Bikes that are riding the streets with happy STRØM Riders. 

Today we have the setup in place with a streamlined supply chain and pre-prepared shipping ready to serve a high amount of pre-orders.

We are proud to say that this is only the beginning of something truly great! 

 

Upgrades to City 2.0

 

Based on feedback from our previous customers, and years of test and trial with our products, our experienced team have made a wide range of upgrades from the first version to our newest version City M 2.0

 

 

2.0 packaging implemented

 

A crucial element in delivering great e-bikes are protecting our bikes from factory being shipped direct to you.

We don’t accept shipping damages, our design team has drop-tested our packaging from 10 different angels from more than 1 meter in the air to make sure your bike arrives safe and sound.

 

External Quality Control

 

Being a young developing company, we have once more realized how important Quality control is. On our last campaigns, a lot of issues could have been avoided with a higher QC level. Therefore we have hired a Quality control team to test our e-bikes. 

Quality control will now be extended to electric ride test, paint approval, assembly approval, and add-ons inbox control before shipping bikes out.

We will financially reward our quality team for bikes delivered successfully and fines for bikes not delivered successfully being passed on to our backers.  

 

 

DIRECT TO YOU

 

 

We have removed all intermediaries and rely on an online model where we only sell our electric bikes online. This means that you are guaranteed a high-quality electric bike at the lowest possible price point without any expensive middlemen. We simply think it’s a great business model for all parts involved – you and us.
 

 

 

 

STRØM Bikes is the brainchild of entrepreneur Nichlas Lloyd (age 30).
Nichlas is in charge of industrial design and production spending more than 3+ years in factories all over Asia designing unique components for our lights, frames, and all the way down to our custom screw wires connecting our e-bike system.
 

When saying STRØM you must say Indiegogo, as our story has been closely connected to crowdfunding from the very beginning.

STRØM Bikes started in November 2016 when we designed our first FATBIKE model, which later raised more than $450,000 here on Indiegogo out of a campaign goal of $40,000.

The City M was launched in 2018 raising more than $2.050.000 million on Indiegogo and the support of almost 2000 backers.

Our latest member of the family City W – a step-through e-bike – was launched in 2020 and raised more than $2,200.000 bringing 2000 new STRØM Bikes out in the streets.

 

‘Thank you to the whole team and most importantly the people that have backed our mission in making inner-city commuting more sustainable and convenient’ ⚡️

“Founder, Nichlas Lloyd”

To start up production we need €50,000. As an Indiegogo exclusive, we’re offering more than a 50% discount to make sure we reach our goal. This is a UNIQUE limited offer only available on Indiegogo.
