My mother has a new electric bike but because we live on a hill she has not had much practice with. I decided it would be a great idea to pop it in the back of the van and take her to the park, where she could ride around on the flat.
I had to flip up the small back seat but the larger seat won't flip up because one of the catches is jammed. However, there was just enough room for the bike with the front wheel turned sideways and pushed up against the inside of the sliding door.
There are plenty of tie-down points in the back so it was a simple job to secure the bike and stop it moving. The route we took to the park is up and down some very steep hills and along some very windy roads, but the bike didn't move an inch.
One minor hiccup was that once we had unloaded the bike at the other end we realised that neither of us had picked up the keys, so we had to put it back in the van and come home again. By that time mother had had enough, so in the end she didn't even get to ride it.
Still, it was fun for me.
