    Possible S30 owner passing by Maylands train station around 7.45am?

    Don’t ask me why - I have to know. I got caught at the Maylands railway stop and watched as someone on what looked like a well loved S30 passed by on the other side. I tried to catch up, but even with the 350 tongsheng mid drive on my Q451, I couldn’t catch them before they headed down off the...

    WTB: locally sourced (/used) Quest parts

    I'm a new owner of a used Quest 451 (v2) located in Perth, Western Australia. I'm hunting some replacement stuff. I've already spoken with the cruzbike team and they have most of what I'm seeking, but it just occurred to me (yes, I work slow... ish) that there might be people willing to part...

    Electric conversion to a Quest 451

    Hi all, I'm considering an electric conversion for a Quest 451 (the one with the e-ring). I think my options are hub motor in the rear wheel, or mid-drive out on the crankset. In either case I want something small and (relatively) light: I'm looking for low power and sustained distance. I'm not...

    Q 451 v2 assembly question

    My secondhand Quest 451 (v2) arrived today. I’ve assembled most of it, but I have one question: the rear wheel is stuck, and The cause seems to be the disc brake. From what I can tell the disc isn’t aligned with the brake pad. It’s like the disc needs spacers to push it out. Am I missing...

    Cruzbike Quest 559: Prescription for spinal pain relief

    Similar story: Spinal Fusion at L4-5 2 years ago. I tried to commute on an upright post-recovery but it just aggravated the pain. It's now been 3(?) months since I bought my 559, and I'm riding to work most days. It's brilliant. : )

    Suggestions for Rear Rack?

    Hi Phil, have a look at the images in my post here. The guy at the store I bought the bike from cut, drilled, painted and attached a piece of steel that's done a good job of holding a normal rear rack in place.

    First Ride: From South Perth to Bassendean

    2nd Ride: Bassendean to Perth Followup post: My first commute into work was a nervous but exhilarating experience. Ride started on a normal road - cannibalised a side mirror from my old bike that isn't a good fit for the handlebars; I'll need to investigate something better. I'm still in the...
