Looks really cool. Can you tell us more about the frame?

Today I got tired of my Thor seat sitting around the garage collecting dust. I wanted to install it on my Silvio 1.0 but I couldn't bring myself to saw off the original seat and potentially destroy the bike when I wasn't certain I could get the new one mounted nicely. So I decided to install it...

I've been riding electric Cruzbikes for over 10 years. Just for fun I put a BBS02 mid drive motor on a Sofrider once and although it worked it wasn't great. The efficiency was equivalent to a rear geared hub motor which I much prefer. The geared hub motor in the rear is the perfect solution for...

Actually isn't the V20 seat incompatible with Silvio, due to the different angle of the butt part?

Oh interesting. That's also very tempting because it's a really good deal.

Yes quite, thank you. Given I'm already planning to heavily modify my Silvio 1.0 I'll try one out

Excellent, definitely interested, but I'm not fully decided on a Thor. Why do people use Thor seats instead of CruzBike ones? Is it simply that they're so much cheaper, or are there some other advantages? What size is it? I would want a medium Sport.

I'm also considering a Thor seat since they're so much cheaper. Hadn't heard of them until this thread. I'm planning on cutting off most the seat from my Silvio 1.0 and mounting a removable carbon one for better packing and hopefully a bit more comfort.

Want to sell it? How much would you want?

Any chance somebody has an extra one?

I just had some more time on a Silvio with one of these and I decided I definitely want one. Feels both more comfortable and faster for me. I think these are long ago out of stock from Cruzbike, so hoping someone has one who isn't using it.

I'm thinking about doing RAGBRAI this year. I haven't committed yet and don't have transportation plans though. I'm guessing there's a chance it could be canceled anyways.

Saw someone on a black CruzBike (S30 I think) coming up Tunnel Rd yesterday in East Bay hills, Sunday 29th. I was going down the other way on a Silvio :)

Gear: overnight shelter: Bivy sack (OR Helium) if I do not expect rain. Tarp tent if I expect rain. Camping hammock if rain is reasonable possibility and I know there will be trees. ground pad (Thermarest NeoAir) down quilt if summer (EE Enigma) or down mummy bag if spring / fall / winter...

Wow has anybody here actually done this or have you heard of someone doing this and how it worked out? I'm thinking about something like this, but I think I'd need that seat modification to fit in this bag https://www.orucase.com/products/b2?variant=29128838905909 When I packed up my Silvio I...

Last fall I did a nice short tour on my Silvio in Idaho (~210m mostly on Trail of the Coeur D'Alenes). The worst part was disassembling, packing, and reassembling the bike. I'm thinking about doing some more touring in other states on the Silvio and I'm hoping somebody has some tips for checking...

Thanks, think I'll give these a try. Since I'm doing a bike camping trip this weekend I should drop my bike at the shop now actually. Not going to try to do it myself again just in case those don't fit either.

The recommendation at the bike shop was Specialized Armadillo tires, but for now I'm just using the cheap and thin Mavics

Wow, I just measured both tires, and the Schwalbe Marathon 700x28 is slightly more than 3mm taller (6mm total diameter) than the Mavic Yksion Elite Guard 700x28. I switched back to my old tire, and I'm going to ask the LBS about an alternative x28 or x25 with more puncture protection that will...

Really? I have slick tires. If I ride through mud I can get build-up around the breaks, but rocks should never be squeezing between the fork and tire.
