Hello. Can someone build and sell me the Emeljay Mod for a T50?

I just electrified my T50, so not ready to part just yet. I highly recommend the Emeljay Mod. Surprised at the staying power of the name I gave this mod... One reason I did the mod was to make the bike fit better into a Prius car. Another reason was to make a more solid front end. The mod I did is a very tight design with minimal clearance between legs and thumb shifters. I did have to get the inside tube machined to fit and find a stem for 1.25 inch steerer.

Yep! I want to build a T50 up the same way.

You should have patented the Mod
I'm quite surprised with your reason, but thinking about it, it's the most practical reason to do it. I know a good machinists, but am hoping to get a detailed diagram/specs, also a shopping list for all the parts. It's not easy to go thru all the forums to make the list.
I'm surprised Cruzbike has not kept the fixed-boom design same for their entire lineup.

But Emeljay did it before I did, and there was a guy on Cruzbike homepage who also modded a Quest. I made use of scooter clamps (the blue colored clamps you see). Doing the mod made dealing with the headset much easier. Knowing a good machinist is a good start. Boom tube is a 24 inch long, 1.25 inch OD, 1/8 inch thick wall tube. I also had to cut the fork shorter and install a finger nut (like upright bikes use) in the steerer. If I could do it all over again, I would just get an S40 and build it up with 650B wheels.

I'll be buying a T50 over the winter. If an emeljay kit was available for the T50 I'd buy it. My days of tinkering and searching for bike parts are behind me now.
