The forward-looking solution of the Swiss company won the prestigious 2021 iF Design Award.

Design that enhances functionality and safety. In short, the very essence of the Stromer ST5 ABS, the pedal-assist bike of the S-Pedelec category that deserved the 2021 iF Design Award thanks to its unique, exclusive style and to the seamless integration of an ABS system. While delivering on their design promises with clean and contemporary lines, the Swiss engineers cut no corner in terms of safety: Stromer ST5 ABS is the first S-Pedelec in the world equipped with Blubrake ABS, fully frame-integrated and completely stealth.

An award-winning design

Stromer's extreme attention to detail and bike design has been awarded with the international 2021 iF Design Award in the Discipline Product category. A recognition that Blubrake is proud to be able to feel as their own: « We have contributed to the safety of the Stromer ST5 ABS without marring its design – commented Fabio Todeschini, founder and General Manager of Blubrake – We take pride in what the iF Design Award acknowledges: that Blubrake's ABS system makes it possible to design an e-bike with strong safety-conscious technologies while allowing manufacturers to stay true to their own stylistic code .»

Stromer ST5 ABS

The ST5 is the top-spec model of Stromer's S-Pedelec category, i.e. e-bikes with a maximum assisted speed of 45km/h. Exclusive high-end components and stylish design to ensure high performance and excellent riding dynamics: these are just some of ST5's impressive array of features. As for 2021, Stromer takes a further step forward: the ST5 will be equipped with an integrated anti-lock braking system (ABS), supplied by Italian company Blubrake: added safety for daily commutes. Blubrake and Stromer's teams have joined forces to deliver a fully integrated solution to the rider, who can now interact with the ABS directly from the touchscreen display on the bike. ST5 will be available in stores starting June.

No front wheel lock-up, controlled braking on every surface and protection against rolling over

The  Stromer ST5 ABS is the first Speed ​​Pedelec with a fully integrated anti-lock braking system, able to regulate the power of the front brake and provide additional safety under challenging road, slippery surfaces and traffic conditions.

Compared to e-bikes, S-Pedelecs can reach higher speeds and therefore generate greater braking forces, hence why Blubrake's research team developed specific software that was purpose-designed for this type of bike.

Not only, a new functionality allows smarter and more sporty cyclists to override the anti-lift off function, simply by using the HMI interface fitted on the bike.

A real revolution for the e-bike world since it is the very first ABS to be equipped with this functionality.

Blubrake ABS for S-Pedelecs has met the requirements of several tests, some very stringent, as a result of which we have obtained product certifications for the category standards, both in Europe and the US.

Morever, Blubrake ABS is an open system, this means that it can be integrated with every battery pack and every braking system on the market.
