That's an interesting looking bike, but I can't quite see how you use it

a shopping trolley. Or am I looking at the wrong part of the website?



What I do is fold it all but the handlbars. Then I put my large
front-mounted bag on the bars.

So I have the rear wheel folded under, the front weel folded back, the
seat down, but the bars are now at about waist height. I then roll it
on the wheels on the frame that are now just at the right spot. The
bike is pushed in front of me like a trolley, the bag is where the
groceries go.

with the seat down, you can just see the little wheels it rolls on
on the floor behind the rear wheel at the base of the seat tube.

or see

which is a fully folded Brom. The handlebars flip up and are
fastened so the bar riser aligns with the main tube, I then lift with
the bars so the bike rolls on its little roller wheels, done.


Ahh. I didn't see the little roller wheels and couldn't see how the wheels
would even turn. And they don't appear to line up.
