Our verdict
Stromer sits at the dear end of the commuter e-bike market, but the price buys a belt-driven frame, a house-built motor and long cover. Riders who want a daily commuter with finance from a dealer and a 10 years frame warranty will find plenty here to like.

Pros and cons
Pros
- Belt drive is fitted, a spec only a minority of e-bike brands list, so there is no chain to clean and oil.
- The motor is built in house and rated at 940 W nominal, with no outside supplier in between.
- Frame cover runs 10 years against 2 years on the battery, a useful split on a bike meant to be kept.
- Removable battery and a claimed range of 260 km suit riders who charge indoors.
- Finance is available, so the €4,499 entry point does not have to be paid in a single payment.
Cons
- Prices run €4,499 to €11,490, well above the €906.56 typical of commuter e-bikes here.
- Support runs on help centre only, so there is no listed phone line for a roadside problem.
- Buying and repairs both lean on local shops, since sales run through dealers and service sits with partner shops.
- The battery warranty of 2 years is short next to the 10 years frame cover, and the battery is the part that ages first.
Who it suits
- Daily city riders who want a belt drive and a removable battery instead of chain upkeep.
- Buyers who plan to keep a bike for years and value a 10 years frame warranty.
- Riders who prefer a dealer to arrange finance and servicing.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone after a step-through or eMTB frame: Kalkhoff covers city, hybrid and step through, which the Stromer range does not list.
- Riders carrying loads or folding a bike onto a train: Tern lists cargo, commuter and folding.
- Buyers shopping for folding or fat-tire frames: HK Beirui Trade Co. covers commuter, folding and fat tire.
Core features
The top bike in the range carries a battery of 1,440 Wh and a claimed range of 260 km. That battery is removable, so it can be carried inside and charged away from the bike, which matters for riders without a garage or an outside socket. The drive is a belt, so there is no chain to clean and lubricate after wet rides. Cover is 10 years on the frame and 2 years on the battery. Finance is available across the range, which is what makes the higher ticket prices workable month to month.
How it compares on our data
On entry price, Stromer ranks at position 144 of 149 e-bike brands tracked here, so the cheapest bike sits towards the expensive end rather than the middle. At the top of the range the picture repeats, at position 139 of 145 brands. Buyers who compare on the starting sticker or on the top specification get the same reading either way, and the gap to the middle of the market is consistent rather than a quirk of a single bike.
Plans and prices
Stromer starts at €4,499 and reaches €11,490, with the middle of the range sitting inside that span. The spread between the cheapest and the dearest bike is wide, so the entry figure alone gives a poor picture of what the range costs. Buyers weighing a small budget against the largest battery available should read both ends of the list rather than the starting sticker.
The company behind it
Stromer is operated by myStromer AG, headquartered in Switzerland and founded in 2009. The company has been building electric bikes since that founding year, and the range stays narrow and focused on a single job rather than spreading across formats. Support runs on help centre only, so a rider who wants someone on the phone during a roadside fault will not find one listed; questions go in writing instead.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a Stromer e-bike cost?+
Prices start at €4,499 at the bottom of the range and reach €11,490 at the top. The models in between sit inside that span. Finance is available, so the entry price can be spread over time rather than paid in a single payment.
How far does a Stromer go on one charge?+
The top bike in the range is quoted with a claimed range of 260 km and comes with a battery of 1,440 Wh. The battery is removable, so it can be carried inside and charged away from the bike. Treat the range figure as a claim from the brand.
Is the top bike classed as a moped or a bicycle?+
The range is listed as s pedelec, so assist is cut at a level above the standard pedelec category. Class rules differ from country to country, so check the local position before riding one on public roads.
Where can I buy and service a Stromer?+
Stromer sells through dealers, and service is handled by partner shops rather than by an in-house team. That means the practical experience depends on how close a partner shop sits to your address. Riders moving to a new city should check local cover before buying.
How do I get help if something goes wrong?+
Support runs on help centre only, so questions are handled through written answers rather than a phone call. Faults are usually dealt with through the dealer you bought from, since service sits with partner shops. Keep your purchase details handy when you get in touch.
What motor and battery does the top bike use?+
The top bike in the range uses a Stromer-built motor rated at 940 W nominal, paired with a battery of 1,440 Wh. That is more power and more capacity than most commuter e-bikes carry, and it is part of why the range reaches €11,490.
Does Stromer make anything other than a standard commuter e-bike?+
The listed bike type is commuter, and the reference models are ST1, ST2, ST3, ST7. There is no step-through, folding, cargo or eMTB in that list, so riders wanting those formats should look at Kalkhoff or Tern instead.
