Story

STRØM CITY W

More affordable and feature-packed than EVER

We are very proud to introduce the new STRØM CITY W. The most stylish women e-bike without compromise on design, durability and convenience.

From the biking capital of the world, Denmark it comes in the perfect combination of minimalistic design, great quality and affordable prices.

The best performing LG battery hidden inside the frame – detachable for easy charging and with a built-in locking system to prevent theft. The most powerful, silent motor. A light aluminum frame in 3 timeless cool colours. And a fully integrated lighting system, operated by a built-in power switch.

We’ve packed all of this into one outstanding and affordable e-bike with prices starting at Euro €949.

STRØM CITY W is available in 3 cool colours to match your personal style. Choose between black, fire red or shiny white.

ONE SIZE

STRØM CITY W comes in a one-size-fits-all model (155 cm / 5 feet up to 205 cm/ 6 feet 7 inches) to fit just about any height and with weight limits approved for up to 130 kilos / 286 pounds.

MODEL OPTIONS

* The difference between the EU and US model is the motor size and automatic drive function.
Please note that the US model is not allowed in most European countries. Check your country before placing your order.
* The backer is responsible for any additional taxes, duties, and VAT. Taxes, duties, and VAT vary from country to country.

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 W. Check out all the cool features below:

Hidden battery – detachable for easy charging
STRØM CITY W 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. Charging time is approximately 3-4 hours.
With our standard 10Ah LG battery, you get a range of up to 60 km/38 miles. Or upgrade to our 14Ah “GO Further” LG battery and get up to 80 km/50 miles.


Integrated lighting system
STRØM CITY W 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.


Tiny Powerful & silent motor
Take advantage of up to 350 Watt* of electric motor power, which can take you from 0 to 32 km/h* in a matter of seconds. The mini motor is built to be durable, powerful and silent. Choose between a 250W (EU model 25kmh/15mph) or 350W (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. And of course, the computer display also has a fully integrated mobile device charging system.


Automatic drive function
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.


Shimano Nexus – 3 Speed
STRØM CITY W Works like a regular bike and comes with a single-handed 3-speed Shimano inner-gear system that lets you use it just like a regular bike. This is what we call the “exercise level” (0 assist from the motor). Very useful if you want to exercise or if your battery runs out of juice.


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


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 W’s puncture-proof tires.


Hand-stiched grips
We only use the best high-quality hand-stitched grips. More importantly, we have installed grips that are very ergonomic for hands and wrist. The wide surfaces add’s to the pleasure of your daly commutes. 


Ergonomic saddle
A well-shaped saddle matching your grips. The ergonomic wide shape make you sit like a queen. We have also added a comfortable handle in the back excellent for parking the bike (No more broken nails gripping the bike saddle).  


Rust-free components
The component has been carefully selected to ensure your e-bike will last for years. It is built to be as rust-free as possible – from top to bottom. We’ve even added a chain protector to keep mud and dirt out of your chain. Less cleaning, more biking!

6-level pedal assistant

Ride full turbo throttle* or use the 6-level pedal-assist function. Start pedaling and feel the electric momentum instantly kick in. Go up to 60 km (38 miles) on a single charge.

IN HOUSE DESIGN

We’ve spent countless hours designing and building what we believe is the most stylish, affordable, and feature-packed e-bike ever.

Direct to you

We have removed all intermediaries and rely on an online model where we only sell our electric bikes online. First through crowdfunding at a special campaign price for setting up production of new models and later directly from us to you through our webshop.

This means that you are guaranteed a high-quality electric bike at the lowest possible price without any expensive middlemen. We simply think it’s a great business model for all parts involved.

STRØM Bikes is the brainchild of entrepreneur Nichlas Lloyd (age 29).
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..
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.

We then experienced a high demand for a city bike. The City bike was launched in 2018 rasing more than $2.050.000 million here on Indiegogo with the increased goal of $50.000.

WHAT A RIDE we have been through as a relatively young company with amazing experiences and the darkest of days! We have struggled, we have been challenged, we have fought to the extreme – but most importantly we have learned a lot from all of it!

‘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 50% discount to make sure we reach our goal. This is a UNIQUE limited offer only available on Indiegogo.

Running a crowdfunding campaign requires a 100% transparent approach to our backers. We’ll do everything we can to keep you fully informed about the campaign, production, and shipping. At the same time we promise to deliver the coolest e-bike EVER!

Don’t just take our word for it. Listen to what other backers have to say..
