Summary of C3STROM Astro Pro E-Bike Review

the C3STROM Astro Pro. This isn’t just any e-bike; it’s a hybrid between an electric moped and a motorcycle. With companies constantly reaching out to showcase their products, this one caught my eye with its unique design and exceptional build quality.

What’s in a Name? The name “C3STROM” has an intriguing backstory. The “C3” stands for Class 3, indicating its classification, while “Astro” is derived from space, hinting at its futuristic design. The Astro Pro variant packs a punch with a 20 amp-hour battery, compared to the 15 amp-hour battery in the regular model.

Design and Build Weighing in at a hefty 95 pounds, this bike features hydroformed aluminum construction with stylish, non-functional accents reminiscent of a Subaru or Toyota hood. The tires are 20 by 4.25 inches, giving it a robust, motorcycle-like appearance. Despite its weight, the bike’s thoughtful design includes cupholder mounts, and a potential coffee mug holder, showcasing a blend of practicality and style.

Lighting and Safety Features Safety hasn’t been compromised. The Astro Pro sports an enormous headlight with multiple modes, including high beam and turn signals. The rear light intensifies when braking, ensuring visibility. The optional rear rack offers utility with space for a second battery pack or panniers, though mounting a child seat might obscure the rear light.

Performance and Handling Equipped with a Bafang 750-watt motor (peaking at 1000 watts), the Astro Pro doesn’t skimp on power. It features a DNP nickel-coated 11-34 tooth freewheel for versatile gearing, crucial for a bike of this weight. The Shimano Altus derailleur, though basic, gets the job done, albeit with potential for pedal and ground strikes due to its low-hanging position.

Brake and Suspension This beast stops reliably thanks to hydraulic disc brakes with 180mm rotors and quad-piston calipers. The kickstand is robust enough to support the bike’s weight, and the double crown suspension fork with 120mm travel handles rough terrains smoothly. The adjustable preload and lockout further enhance ride comfort.

Battery and Range The 52-volt, 20 amp-hour battery is centrally located, aiding in balance. It’s user-friendly with a charge level indicator and a high-mounted charging port. The 4-amp charger speeds up the charging process, reducing downtime. A fast and comprehensive instruction manual ensures you get up and running without a hitch.

Tech Integration The digital display, although a bit cluttered, offers comprehensive information, including speed, battery level, and trip data. The bike’s Bluetooth connectivity and smartphone app provide advanced settings and tracking, enhancing user experience. You can even unlock high-speed modes for off-road adventures.

Final Thoughts Priced at $2,699 USD, the C3STROM Astro Pro is a solid investment for those seeking a blend of e-bike and moped functionality. With free shipping in the US and Canada and a year-long comprehensive warranty, it’s a compelling option. While it blurs the lines between traditional bikes and mopeds, it offers a unique riding experience that’s both powerful and versatile.
