I've got a 150 mm extender you can have; the very one seen in avatar. I switched to a 100 mm and love it

You can call or text me at 207 three fifteen nineteen double zero. The extension should give you a bit more power, given the more acute hip angle, as well as improved aero. But I question the close bar set up currently as I much prefer full arm extension, maybe just a 10 degree elbow bend. Some...

I actually have one that I'll part with, the very one that shows in my avatar. I have modded to a 100 mm over the winter, along with new 11 speed set up with PM crank arms, seat mod to raise recline angle, btw. So far so good. I doubt I'll want to go back to very high bb. The raised handle bars...

The Pletsher was too short for the Sofrider and I added extenders to each leg using 1/2 inch copper tubing. I see they offer feet for the stand and maybe that would be enough extension for some situations. I'm wondering about having a rear mounted battery weighing down rear end and lifting front...

Actually, that is a dual/center stand in the picture that is folded up. It is the Pletsher stand which has both legs folding to one side and is currently at $39 on Amazon. It is very convenient to use but care must be taken to keep front end from flopping. I have been rigging a sock cord...

I wasn't aware that Nuvinci had options. I have the 360 standard unit, as far as I know. As for power limitations with the cvt, I have a rear wheel hub motor, 2 wheel drive set up so motor power a non issue. I know Ratz has had cvt experience and I recall discussing the issue you raise a couple...

The battery is a Falco down tube, I think they call it, canister style. It's 36 V 11.7 ah and they are available still, at $695, I just checked. Mine has been holding up well for 2 + years. The motor set is an Ebike kit brand, ebike kit.com, and this very light duty system has been discontinued...

I thought I'd join in on this CB Utility e-bike party. I just did a re-mod of my e-assist Sofrider which has been in operation for 2 years. The new mod is the return to freerider bars (love to open cockpit) and the addition of what I call a cockpit fairing. The fairing was a Zipper brand...

It seems to me that the 33 degree seat angle is as significant as the new suspension-less fork in changing the design. How is that done, btw? The new seat angle, it seems to me, sets the new Silvio apart from the V significantly. I find that a more upright position greatly improves my ability...

I still have the Sofrider and still want to sell it. I don't know the year but it is an earlier one as it has front suspension and the last version did not. Please PM me for all the details and options. Dave

Thanks, Zzzorse for posting my cl ad. This Sofrider actually is a result of such a post you did a couple years ago. I love the utility CBs and am keeping the V2k I have but am collecting $ for a Vendetta and 3 Cruzbikes is my limit. Will also sell as stock 2x9 Sofrder for $750. I am hoping to...

Count me in as a Cruzbike ambassador, currently in mid coast Maine. I've inclined that way already having two utility bikes and I try to keep one newbie rideable. Was at the lbs just last week with a show and tell. The Silvio too specialized to fit almost anyone else nor would I trust a newbie...

I really appreciate the suspension on my S. It does exactly what a performance suspension should do, not be noticeable until you hit some nasty pavement. The other thing I appreciate about the S is the seat angle being at a practicle height for seeing road and sights while still being a crazy...

I can relate to the newbie handling issues being posted because I struggled myself for quite a long while. I see the mastery of the CB ride to be a risk reward situation with the risk not having the patience to allow the body to get it and the reward an amazingly athletic cycling experience like...

There used to be both 100 and 150 offered but the 100 might be very good for you. Keep in mind that the chain stay length effects handlebar height and with drop bars a 150 mm extension puts the bars too low. It did for me. But a stearing tube extension would be a remedy for that situation if you...

Yes, the M5 seat, like many I suppose, is incredibly rigid and light and requires just 2 mounting points. I copied Rick Youngblood's method he posted in the fall. Quite an easy job. I did dispense with the headrest tubing although I thought I'd use it to mount the water bottle quiver but I ended...

I'm inspired to overcome my computer-phobic ways and come out of the shadows to add to this thread on fitting a tall rider to A Silvio. I'm also about 6'4" and have been very much dialed in to my Silvio. I was among the wave of folks who came in about this point 2 years ago who got the S 2.x...

I recently acquired this 451 Quest for travel and ride-as-you-are fun bike but due to business downturn and the desire to use limited bike funds to upgrade (mainly new wheels) my Silvio 2.1, the real (bike) love of my life, I'm offering up the Quest. It's pictured in near full boom extension to...

Faring on Sofrider Lief, I was actually surprised how little impact that Windwrap fairing had/has on my Sofrider. Right from the start with it there was no noticeable drag on handling. Boy, what a bonus! The Sofrider in my opinion is a high performance format for handling, especially with...

Ultra Mod update The thwaters post has inspired me to post an update of my beloved Ultra Mod sofrider. Honestly, it's more fun than riding the Silvio but I love the Silvio just as much. I'd hate to have to choose between them. So the upgrades are the Cygolite 800 lumen unit and the...
