ABS
Why does the ABS icon of my Stromer light up yellow?
ABS icon lights up yellow
When the Stromer is switched on, the yellow ABS icon automatically appears on the display. As soon as you ride faster than 5 km/h and lightly apply the left front brake, the anti-lock braking system is activated and the icon goes out on the display.
If the ABS icon remains lit up yellow, have your dealer check the anti-lock braking system of your Stromer. The brake still works, but without anti-lock protection.
Why is the anti-lock braking system on my Stromer only installed on the front wheel?
E-bike ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) is primarily designed for the front wheel and that is for a good reason. During braking, the front wheel delivers about 70–80% of the stopping power as your weight shifts forward. It also plays a key role in maintaining directional control. Locking the front wheel is far more dangerous than locking the rear, it can cause loss of control and lead to a crash. That’s why ABS puts its focus where it matters most.
Why does the yellow ABS indicator light on my Stromer not go out?
ABS indicator light does not go out
Please restart your Stromer. As soon as a speed of 5 km/h is exceeded, the indicator light should go out. If it remains lit, contact your dealer.
Can a regular Stromer E-Bike, like the ST5 or ST3, be retrofitted with ABS?
Retrofitting ABS
The Stromer models cannot be retrofitted with an anti-lock braking system as the entire technology is located in the top tube. The top tube of an ABS model is marginally wider as a result.
