Transporting the Freedom Chair
The Freedom Chair was designed to be easily disassembled and transported by car. We’ve packed Freedom Chairs into sedans, pickup
trucks, minivans, SUVs, and almost literally everything in between! If you’d like advice for packing the chair into your specific vehicle, give us
a ring at 617-356-8106. Some pointers to ensure your Freedom Chair arrives at the trailhead in top riding condition:
•
Put the main frame of the chair into the trunk first. It is the heaviest part, so try to avoid placing it on top of the other
parts. Place the frame flat to avoid bending the side of the seat. See Figure 2.19–avoid having anything press into
the sides of the seatpan.
•
The footrest does not always have to be removed.
• Keep the chains away from dirt that might be at the bottom of your trunk. Dirt and gravel in the chain will impact
your riding performance and drivetrain life.
•
Avoid metal-on-metal contact to keep scratches from occurring.
• Remove the levers from their storage position to keep them from falling out during transit.
Figure 2.19: Do not squeeze together the sides of the back of the seat.
