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.

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.


The big wheels don't line up no. That's how they get such a tight
fold.

The small wheels are not meant for long journeys, I am getting an
upgraded set as the ones on it now are just meant for moving the thing
a few feet for storage under desks or whatever.

If you get the rack you get 4 wheels which makes for a very good
rolling method but I don't want a rack.

I'm loving the Brom, it's a lot of fun. Still a bloody wedgie, but I
can almost forgive it for that.


When you say it like that it must remind you of the "Old Girl". Brom, Brom.

A Moped in Holland is referred to as a 'Brommer'.
