What do y'all think??
Here's the link if you're not familiar:

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO! It's the biggest POS I have ever seen! I can honestly say it's the WORST designed product I have ever purchased. I had this, (I gave it away to a workman who showed up at my house on a bike with a rack. Before that the cat slept on it) and I have the Bug. The Bug costs a bit more but it is QUALITY and well designed. And Arkel will ship direct to Poland. Get the Bug, you won't regret it.
YES!
