Ryvid introduces fresh new Colorways and Accessories for Anthem Electric Motorcycle, plus new Financing options

Ryvid, Inc

Following last month’s announcement of a complete 3D parts catalog available to owners of the American-built Ryvid Anthem electric motorcycle, the California-based company is continuing to expand at a phenomenal rate. The month of March is filled to the brim with announcements, headlined by two new colors for the 2024 Ryvid Anthem, including the distinctive Photon Blue and Plasma Yellow. These colorways join the existing line up of Galactica Black, Rapid White, Carbon Grey and Atomic Gold, expanding customer choice to six desirable colors. And thanks to the 3D Parts Catalog at ryvid.com, existing Anthem owners will be able to purchase body panels in the latest colors or even mix and match. The vibrant new Photon Blue and Plasma Yellow are perfect for the Spring and Summer, helping to ensure the clean lines of the Ryvid Anthem really stand out. ACCESSORIES Another new Ryvid initiative is its Accessories range, which will enable owners to personalize and customize their Anthem. As a special incentive for new owners, Ryvid is offering a $350 Accessories Bundle Credit for anyone purchasing an Anthem before April 15, 2024, allowing the new Accessories to be supplied with the bike. The Accessories are intended to make the electric motorcycle more convenient for users, providing a frequently-requested cargo rack, for example, which can carry up to 25 lb. The rack takes advantage of the threaded holes in every Anthem frame, which were always intended to fulfil this function. Other useful Accessories include a phone mount, Level 2 charging adapter, and helmet lock. Owners can also choose to change the color of their Anthem seat and bodywork or order a replacement battery. The full list of new Ryvid Accessories includes the following: Anthem Rear Rack - $195 Handlebar Phone mount - $55 Anthem Charging Cable 110V - $25 Anthem Charging Cable 220V - $40 Level 2 J-plug Charging Adapter - $95 Anthem 4.3 kWh Battery Pack with Integrated Fast Charger - $3995 Anthem Seat (4 color options) - $250 Helmet Cable Lock - $35 Power Controller Upgraded by ASI - $995 The high-performance Power Controller Upgrade by ASI is a simple plug-n-play swap, allowing Anthem owners can enjoy a 30% increase in acceleration without sacrificing range. The ASI Controller Kit includes a wiring harness that plugs straight into the Anthem. DIY installation instructions are available for new and existing Anthem motorcycles. Customers who order the ASI Controller with a new Anthem will only pay a discounted $800 for the controller once it’s ready to ship in April. FINANCE PLANS By popular demand, Ryvid has partnered with FreedomRoad Financial to offer competitive rates and extended term financing options. To see if an applicant qualifies, they simply click the “I Want to Finance” option on the Anthem page at ryvid.com and a member of the Lightning Squad will walk them through the process. The introduction of the new San Bernardino, CA factory facility has led to faster production schedules. This has not only allowed the company to ship the Anthem within four weeks of order completion, but customers can now select from four shipping options. This includes California collection and expedites national delivery to ensure new customers are enjoying the Anthem Electric as soon as possible. At the point of purchase, all California residents will pay tax and registration prior to shipping, ensuring their Anthem is ready to go upon arrival. Residents of all other states will pay the applicable tax and registration at their local DMV. SHOWS, DEMOS & MODEL LAUNCH At the Mama Tried motorcycle show in Milwaukee, WI in February, Ryvid was not only an event sponsor but supported the entry of a modified Anthem by Thor Drake from SeeSee Motorcycles. Competing in the Ryvid-sponsored EV class race, he placed third after an exciting battle. Additionally, Ryvid displayed the Anthem and provided demo rides to show attendees. Looking forward to April 19-21, Ryvid will be a title sponsor of The One Motorcycle Show in Portland, OR. There are big plans for this community event, which will again see the Anthem on display and available for demo rides. As a custom motorcycle show, many customized Anthems will also be on display for the first time, inspiring current and future owners. However, the major news is that Ryvid will debut its brand-new electric motorcycle at The One Moto Show, giving visitors and attending media the chance to see this exciting new model in the flesh for the very first time. More details will be revealed next month, but the groundbreaking concept will offer a revolutionary approach to motorcycle design, purchasing and customization. We can’t wait to reveal it to everybody at The One Moto Show and beyond.

An Inherited Condition Could be the Cause of Your Early Heart Disease or Stroke, But Your Doctor is Probably Not Testing for It

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/Y_mu9ZpIO88 Heart disease is still the single biggest threat to American health today. Family Heart Foundation research shows that less than 5% of Americans are being screened for the most common, life-threatening genetic condition that causes early strokes and heart attacks – elevated Lipoprotein(a) or Lp(a) for short. Elevated lipoprotein(a) is the most common genetic cause of early heart disease and stroke. One in 5 people worldwide have inherited high Lp(a), and most don’t know it. You inherit your Lp(a) level from your parents. Because elevated Lp(a) isn’t screened for, the first sign of this condition may be a stroke or a heart attack. Elevated levels of Lp(a) increases the risk of blood clotting and plaque buildup inside the blood vessels, which can block the flow of blood and oxygen to your heart and brain. Compared to the general population, people with elevated Lp(a) have 2-3 times the risk for a heart attack and stroke at a young age. The higher your Lp(a), the higher your risk. Lp(a) is not measured in the standard cholesterol panel. It’s important to understand if you have elevated Lp(a). Multiple therapies are in development but in the meantime, there are things you can do to manage your other cardiovascular risk factors, such as keeping your LDL cholesterol levels very low. The Family Heart Foundation can help you find a healthcare provider near you and connect you to others living with elevated Lp(a). The Family Heart Foundation is the only patient-centered, research and advocacy organization focused on addressing the lack of screening and care for people born and living with this common life-threatening condition. On March 20 th a nationwide media tour was conducted featuring Dr. Amit Khera, Professor and Director of Preventive Cardiology UT Southwestern Medical Center and Misty Votaw. Topics they discussed included: Who should have their Lp(a) measured and when. Misty’s story and how the Family Heart Foundation provided resources. If you have elevated Lp(a), what can you do to reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke. What the Family Heart Foundation is doing to address gaps in care for 60 million Americans at risk. For more information and to find out if you have elevated Lp(a), contact the Family Heart Foundation’s Care Navigation team at FindLpa.org.
