Does anyone have experience with long distance travel abroad with a Stromer 350? How far can I go on one or two batteries, how long do I have to have lunch to recharge (what's the best way to charge 2 batteries with one charger), would it be better to sell the Stromer and buy a motorbike (I hope not)? Can I get a repair outside Switzerland in any bike shop dealing with electric bikes, or is the Stromer too different from other e-bikes? Is the Stromer legal outside Switzerland? Any advice will be most helpful.

Country:
Distance is not predictable, too many influences.
1h charging gives approx. 75% capacity, the remaining 25% want take another 2 or 3 hrs. Repair of electrical parts only at Stromer stores. With the license plate (= with insurance) a Stromer is street legal even outside of switzerland.

with respect to range:
the better way to estimate the range is the battery consumption per kilometer (Wh/km).
Speedped has a good overview on this:
https://sites.google.com/site/speedped/reichweiten
I personally come to a 13 Wh/km average,
heavy rider, some climbs, full support up to 45 km/h,
which gives a range of 30 km out a 396 Wh battery.
Reducing the maximum speed and support level would give a longer range accordingly …..
Hope this helps ….

Thanks so far...! My Stromer 350 is, as far as I know, the model with a number plate and a maximum speed of 50 km/h, and with insurance. I've never done 50, but up to 40-45 km/h without having a stroke.
I am disappointed to know that I cannot expect more than 30 km per charge! That makes a morning ride of 60 km on two batteries, then a 2 hour lunch break 2 x charge of 1 hour, then an afternoon ride only 75% i.e. 45 km, a total of 100 km per day - or maximum 150 km if I have one lunch in the morning and another in the afternoon. But then I'll spend most of the trip eating, drinking, waiting for the battery charge. On the other hand, I would probably never drive faster than 30 km/h (except downhill).

Or you change (from the 360Wh battery?) to the newer 522Wh battery, reduce sensor sensitivity and slow down uphill...

I would rather say 30 km is the minimum you get out of one charge ….. as an achieved cyclist I´m sure you get 50 km out of it easily ….
