Noteworthy Features For The Ryvid Anthem

The Anthem’s biggest attention getter is without a doubt it’s wildly adjustable seat, which Ryvid claims allows for a full 4 inches of adjustment without fumbling with suspension linkage. Seat height starts at 34 inches in its highest setting, but can be dropped down to 30 inches at its lowest. This should translate to a bike that’s flat-foot friendly for even the shortest riders, but doesn’t leave the 6-foot-plus crowd feeling like they’re riding a children’s toy.

The Ryvid Anthem’s chassis is interesting as well: Ryvid claims that despite chassis being made from stainless steel, the entire backbone of the bike weighs in at just 12 pounds. This allows the Anthem to keep its total weight down to an impressive 240 lbs, with 60 of those pounds coming from the battery.

How the chassis holds its weight is also worth pointing out here: Ryvid will house the Anthem’s electric motor inside the swingarm assembly rather than bolting it onto the frame, which should give the bike an exceptionally low center of gravity and admirable handling. The battery itself takes a similiar approach, mounting onto the lowest possible point in the frame to push the Anthem’s mass as close to the ground as possible.
