We've seen some great successes on the Vendetta which have thoroughly vindicated all the design premises of going to front wheel drive for recumbent bikes. Behind the scenes there are always manufacturing challenges such as how to obtain the right materials and what is the best way to design and...

I finally got around to taking some pics of the mountainous terrain on which I train here on the RAAM / RAW route in Prescott. I took special care to shoot the roadside shrines of the many motorcyclists who flew off the cliffs or ran smack into the mountain after going too fast and missing...

Catch the Cruzbike intro package, including clips of Vendetta being ridden Catch iView, to see the show. Cruzbike, from 9 minutes 30 seconds:

Hi y'all, Now that the board is back up... I've successfully completed my 700c conversion (V2/K frame, Sram i-ride front fork, velocity rims w/blade-type spokes, ultegra crank, sram 9.0 shifty bits) and am very happy with the results. The bike is much more comfortable (lower seat height), fast...

I recently purchased a helmet-mounted "tail" light that works really well with the relatively low profile of my new sofrider - not only does it sit on top of my helmet, it actually self levels and maximizes the visibility for oncoming drivers/vehicles. It is called the "Planet Bike Blinky "3H"...

My shifting was getting really bad on the Quest.Spent way too much time trying to adjust the cables.Finely bent the hanger back and now shifting is perfect. Jack

Would the Polaris Scrambler make a good donor bike? http://www.walmart.com/ip/Polaris-Scrambler-26-Mountain-Bike/11064947

Hello! My conversion donor has a frame geometry such that the seat is relatively high. The height is not a problem as such, but the bottom bracket could probably be higher relative to the seat. This can obviously be accomplished by shortening the adjustable tube, that is, swinging the bottom...

I know some Vendettas have shipped and arrived at homes. Where are the pictures and the ride reports? Here I am sitting in front of my computer while it is sunny out there and just waiting on pictures... Hey, sun in the PNW, I guess it is time to RIDE. I will check back in when it is wet...

Has anyone set up a softrider for off road (maintain) biking?

Just wanted to share my newly finished conversion Kit. The donor is a Kawasaki DX126 that I purchased from Amazon.com. Great price and no shipping and no sales tax. The only two pieces that I had to buy extra was an adapter for the headset and a piece of threaded metic rod due to the headset...

Hi there- I want to hear back from anyone who has had to undergo a similar spinal fusion and can ride a Cruzbike successfully with no pain. A bad accident, not related to biking, necessitated the fusion with metal rods. Thanks!

Anyone out there in my area or perhaps even New England with a Cruzbike I can try? There are no dealers around here unfortunately. Would love to ride one to see how they feel. Thanks!

Hi there- I am looking for feedback from anyone with a similarly "messed up" back who can ride a Cruzbike successfully with no pain. A bad accident, not biking related, necessitated the fusion and metal rods. Thanks!

A bad accident, not biking related, necessitated a fusion with metal rods. Anyone out there with a similarly not so abled back successfully riding a Cruzbike? I would love to hear about it. Thanks!

Not for me, thank you very much! When my back, "goes out" -I can hardly sit up straight or walk well or even move very quickly. One of the few things I can do when that happens, thankfully, is ride my Sofrider... especially if I take extra care to steer around the more jarring pavement...

Has anyone out there sorted out how best to ride a Cruzbike on indoor rollers. Due to the onset of winter and quake damage to so many of the cycling routes around the city ( Christchurch NZ ) I would like to get a training programme running using indoor rollers during these dark months. I always...

I look forward to hearing what you think about it Dan. PS: I miss your posts on the B and BR forums. Thank you for having an opinion, even though it's not always popular.
