My 62-pound Lectric XP eBike is a wonderful product … when unfolded. However, it is intended to be deadlifted into a car or truck when folded, which is not good for my 71-year-old back.
Without cutting into the bike, I am now able to roll the folded bike forward and backward on a ramp tied to my little Honda Fit.

Your comments are welcome. All of us are smarter than any one of us.
Thanks,

Good work. Fixing oversights in the manufacturer's design.
But it does remind me of something. I apologize in advance.

I wouldn't call my attachment fixing an oversight. They never intended the user to roll the folding bike. However, I find the attachment is a necessity for me and my weak back.Quote:

I'm gonna have to disagree with you on that one good buddy. A Segway is basically rolling birth control. Any girlies catch you on one of those things and your chances drop to zero.Quote:

why no seat?
I remove the seat to reduce the height. It has a quick release.Quote:
