I found the following info about the Strong GT-S210 E-Bike sold by
Canadian tire but does anyone have a PDF of the owners manual to e-
mail me or a link to download it. The www.strongcanada.ca is not
around anymore and I bought the last one in our local store missing
the owners manual.
Does anyone have any additional info on the problem with the hub
motors on this bike?
Could you add a fuse (size, type & location to add) to the controller
incase the motor shorts out for protection?
What is the best direct replacement hub motor for this bike if the
company is out of business?
Is the wiring diagram in the owners manual?
Any mods for this model?
Also what other models is this bike sold under. I found : ISD sells
them as Futuro & Explorer:

" It sound like Strong Canada is gone (according to my local Canadian
Tire sporting goods clerk). The ebike was de-listed and they only sell
the Schwinn I-zip and folding bike now. Has anyone else heard this yet
(not likely big news).
Too bad. I know it wasn't as well thought as some of the conversion
kits but it filled a niche for those of us who wanted something less
complicated. I have had mine since July and rode it almost every day
to work until the snow fell in my area around the end of October. Only
about 1000km all toll but so far I haven't had any problems with it. I
was able to fit it with a bike trailer for my youngest child and also
attached a trail-a-bike without issue.
Ultimately, my concern is the battery. I had hope Strong would have
produced their lithium battery as once suggested in the literature but
even getting a SLA replacement looks unlikely. Canadian Tire still
lists it but the young clerk wasn't too sure if any were actually
being shipped anymore. ..."
"They had a lot of problems with this model from what i was told the
hubmotors where burning out. Phase wires where melting and shorting
the controller. I think they lost a lot of money using half there
stock for parts and I'm sure a lot of customers wanted a refund"
