I still long for it. Could anybody tell how one put handlebar higher up
and further away from the knees. If one put saddle back then one do
wheelies too easily. That is not safe riding either.


Apart from that I love it.

I wish the maker of the K bike would get more active in promoting it
and telling about its specifications. Maybe that "stick" bike would work for me.

The SmartBike I bought is a poor substitute for my old Microbike.

The CarryMe is not designed for a tall rider over 6'.. in reality, anyone with an inseam greater than 32" will probably not be comfortable.. seat to pedal(BDC) distance at minimum seatpost insertion is barely 34".. modifying seatpost length or adding height in other ways will alter design parameters, as would moving the handlebars further forward with a longer stem.. if I were you, I wouldn't even consider the CM.. wait for other more suitable designs for larger people..
