Welcome! I just got my Cruzbike to a rideable stage, and thought it might be good to have a place where Cruzbikers could exchange info about this great...
I did not want to embarass myself asking this on the Cruzbike site, but how on earth do you get on and off a Cruzbike?? On a normal Wedgie you swing your leg...
Think you have to do it "Girlie" style . . . . step through just like mounting a low threshold ladies bike. That's why you need to chose a full suspension MB...
Joshua, Mine is built on a "mixte-like" frame, and I lean it over and step over the top tube. I'm getting better at it... :) I suppose grace will come with...
Bummer I had thought the seat folded down or back, but I did not see a hinge or locking mechanism. So on a bike with 700c wheels this mounting/dismounting...
Hi Joshua, I can only relate my own experience with the bike. Mine uses a Swanson hard shell seat, so I cannot directly comment on the Cruzbike seat, other...
Hi Joshua, Yes on a 700c bike, I can swing my leg over the back, but its not exactly um comfortable that way! On the 24" wheeled bike, yes I find I do that...
Joshua, another thing that may make life easier. The new 700c brackets have a second purpose: they make it possible to put 26" wheels into a 24" frame. There...
From memory, since I have only ridden 3 Wedgies in the 27 years of riding bents, had a KHS Alite 1,000 in 2,000 & a TREK 4900 in 2002. The KHS went ice powered...
Figure that with some modifications I can get the leg over, I am a bit of a relic with Osteoarthritis in the knees, so bending the knees is a pain. joshua...
Joshua, what is the dimensions of the battery pack? Could they not be mounted under the seat, one on each side even. Or under the down tube? For carrying...
What may be possible is to make hard shell cases for the batteries that attach to the 2 rear triangles. Ideally any batteries used need to be at or below the...
Yes but am really low to the ground and I have 2 tadpoles and a CLWB. I am attached to a group of bent riders who play Hockey while riding trikes with steel...
Hey Joshua, I hope you are still alive, not just for the promise of a bike on display! Will make sure you get all the support we can muster, as I think that ...
In Australia you have this insanely low 200 Watt Maximum for e-motors, Canada is 500W, the USA is 750W and Britain is 250W. No one knows why Australia set the...

When I ride my Cruzbike the front suspension compresses all the way. I feel like I'm riding a unicycle! Although I weigh 175 lb. I feel that if I could move...
Can’t you simply increase the amount of travel on your front fork to compensate? joshua goldberg www.evsolutions.net ... From: Cruzbike@yahoogroups.com...
hi Bob, With you on the bike, what is the % weight on the front wheel? My estimate is 53%. Moving your seat back that much will trigger a range of other...
I received my Cruzbike kit (one week from ordering to arrival in North Carolina) and dropped it off at my bike shop with a new donor bike with 26" wheels....
Hi Bob, My Cruzbike is a "hardtail" and has the center of gravity moved about 4-5 inches rearward of the typical Y-frame arrangement. There's a couple of...
Hi Joshua, See this newly amended page: http://www.cruzbike.com/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/DiskBrakes From a mechanical point of view, from what I can tell of the...
Okay, so the concrete cinder block on a rope will have to do. Was thinking like Rube Goldberg re: add a Headrest to the top of the backrest and carry a step...
Hi Doug, Thanks for your reply. The hardtail frame configuration allows for the use of seat back support struts which really firms things up. I've gotta come...
Hi John, I don't know the answer to your question. I'll have to drag the bathroom scales out to the garage tomorrow and check it out. Actually my chain stays...
I would think coil springs would be common and come in different tensions (not everyone is 145 lbs), my foot is 145 lbs LOL Email me the name/model #/year of...
