Hello Yuba Mid Drive Folks,
ryan suggested I post here to let you know about the conversion kit I am making for the Yuba V4 to make it Stoke Monkey compatible.
Essentially, is it a Stainless Steel bar with flanges that mounts on the center stand tab on the lower end and the brake bosses on the top. The SM then uses the extracycle clampset on the stainless steel bar - plug and play.
The jig to make the conversion piece was made by Brett Flemming of Efficient Velo Tools http://www.biketoolmaker.com (His helmet mirror is the best on the market)
Attached are some photos from a set up I did last night.

If you are looking for a Stoked Yuba, I can send you the stainless steel bar ($65) or the whole Stoke Monkey setup with bar.($1350) Supply is running low on the Crystallyte 407 controllers, so if you have your own controller, that will save you $100. Note: these prices do NOT include the battery. On this bike, I used an eBikeKit 22A controller with a handlebar switch to limit to 250 watts for the times I want to conserve my battery. Lyen's programmable controller would be ideal.
For the throttle, I suggest a half-twist. To make the shift levers buttery-smooth I filed the corner back top of the up-shifter so it clears the split twist throttle.
Brakes - I highly recommend upgrading to the disc brakes. Avid BB7s are ideal. However, Yuba has indicated that the 203mm rotors will not work on the rear and suggested the 180mm rotors instead. I will post photos of the 180s after I have installed them on the Yuba I am putting together tomorrow.
Battery - on this build I used the eZee 36V 14Ah Li-Po flat pack with cordura carrier. It fits, but is a bit awkward. I am considering asking Ping to custom make a battery that will fit perfectly into the same space so that I can them make a removable alum box that we could paint to match the frame.
Of interest: The customer for the bike pictured asked if we could match the frame color for the Stoke Monkey. If this important to you all? should I ask Todd if that is an option? (I would do the painting, but I don't want to screw up his branding.) Yuba will be sending me the specs for the paint on the frames in the next week and I will post that information here...
PM me if you want one - for questions, please post here so all can see and make suggestions.
Best,
Wake
