Thanks, Larry. I already have too many subscription services, so I will stick with my spreadsheet. It's free and I know how to use it. I might take you up on the offer to spend some aero-testing time at Technology Circle. Now, for the latest testing results: Maria and I did a simultaneous 8...

I like that battery placement. It's ideal. So Grin makes a hub motor that is thru-axle compatible. That's great to know. That looks like a super fun bike!

Maria and I went out for a 40 mile training ride this morning, including four out-and-back laps on the "Tropical Trail" which is a beautiful road that is only a few meters from the Indian River on the Space Coast of Florida. Maria started out with a stock rear wheel, and I started out with a...

Hi Flakkjacket, This pannier fits the S40 rack perfectly. It just hit our warehouse. If you don't see it on our accessory page, directly search for "Everyday pannoer" on our website. -Jim

Looks like they are made by Zeroing in China and are nice-looking but poor quality. https://chinertown.com/index.php?topic=4120.0

Other than the trademark violation, these might work very well! I sent inquiries to multiple Chinese companies about making short cranks several years ago. Maybe this is the result.

The Vendetta is not just for racing. For those who find the V20/V20c their go-to bike for commuting or long leisurely trips, there is naturally an interest in carrying stuff on a rear rack with or without panniers. There is a good thread about this here. Another option is to use the S40 rear...

On my V20 I am able to unweight my hips and allow them to float above the seat. Other times, I sit up and have my weight fully on my hips, and sometimes, the weight is distributed more balanced across my hips and back. I had issues with knee pain the first year or two that I started riding big...

If you have a lost or damaged charger for your T50e, here are some options. Cruzbike does not stock spare chargers, but they are readily available on the market. The original charger is Model DZL (M) 3710A0 with output of 42.0V and 2.0A. This charger for $57 is listed as a specific replacement...

When Maria first started racing and going fast in large crowds of bikes, she got wobbles at high-speed. It turned out she was scared and her hands were trembling, causing the front to shimmy. Once she realized what was happening, she learned to get a steady firm grip on the bars. I would check...

Definitely need photos!

I haven't had a chance yet to write a blog about the Bike Safari week. I wanted to put something brief up here to say what a great time I had, and to thank all the Cruzbike riders who came out and made it such a special event. We had 16 riders (5 women and 11 men) sharing the roads and sharing...

I am going to be in Florida for the next few months, suitcases are in Massachusetts.

I think you are correct. It's got the same handlebar style, same color.

This has been my go-to bike for riding around town and to the beach. The boss says I need to be riding the latest model, so out with the old, in with the new. I think this is model year 2019, which uses QR skewers, not through-axles. Gearing is 11-speed 11-40 cassette with a 38T chainring. SRAM...
