Hi, I'm strongly interested, my only problem is that I'm living in Levis, Quebec Canada, but I would assume a reasonable shipping cost. Please let me know if you could get an estimate for the shipping cost. Marc Zweili PS: I owned on of the first Silvio's back in 2015

I'm looking into this for my Sylvio 2.1 https://www.electric-bike-kit.com/propacklithium.aspx Motor 6 lbs Battery 3 lbs Would help on hills

Funny set-up. Now you could use the sportscrafter progressive roller http://www.bentrideronline.com/?p=7813

I think this was an issue with the Silvio 1 only

I have a 3ft wide corridor in my basement. That helps a lot. But still without the mirror in front, I wouldn't be able to ride. Initially it takes a lot of concentration. I prefer to have the front wheel on the double roller, it feels less twitchy.

+1 It's a similar setup I have in my basement. Riding my Silvio 2.1 during winter time.

Shorter cranks result in less leg movement. You will get your knees away from the handlebar.

Ivan, I'm interested to know how you are going to upgrade your Silvio 2.

Back in 2014 Alex Stegemann confirmed that the Omni Wheel is a good fit for the Silvio (see my first post). The Velogical unit consists of two small rim motors. Have a look at their website. Whatever motor assist you chose, the batteries will be heavier than the motor.

The rather expensive German units from velogical weigh less than 3 pounds, and they could be mounted on the front or back wheel. For riding uphill it would be preferable to have the motor assist on the rear wheel

I was looking at these units, specially the slow one http://www.velogical-engineering.com/velogical-velospeeder---standard-motor-for-bicycles-retrofittable Another solution would be the OMNI Wheel from Evelo.com I was told that this wheel can be controlled with a trottle instead of the pedel...

Hope so. Presently I have the pattern printed on my back after riding ;-)

Ask markciccio to launch production

Would the new chainstay fit on a Silvio 2 ??

A torque wrench might be useful for some more important bolts. For an aluminum handlebar clamp it's not really necessary. Hand tightened with the allan key does the job. For a carbon fiber handle bar I would be more careful.

Nice, a picture tells more than 1000 words Thanks
