A second way to raise the front wheel is by placing an automotive type floor jack under
the battery box and lifting until the front wheel is not in contact. Caution
– if you raise
the bike too much, then the bike will only be balanced on the back wheel and the jack
and will topple off. Stop raising the front as soon as there is a fraction of an inch space
under the front wheel.
TRANSPORTING YOUR ZEV
You can transport your ZEV on a trailer or in a truck bed using tie down ratcheting
straps. You will need 10 straps.
The bike wants to set down at the rear as that is the battery weight area. Place the bike
on the center stand. The front wheel will set up off of the deck. Place a broad board
under the wheel to make the front wheel set on the board.
If you are transporting on a wooden deck trailer, take advantage and drywall screw the
board under the front wheel to the wooden trailer deck if possible. Drywall screw 2X4
block sections in front, behind, and to the sides of each wheel if possible for any long
hauls.
Turn the steering head to the lock position, lock the steering, and remove the key.
Place one strap over the seat with a piece of cloth under it to prevent chafing of the
seat.
