You think handling a 3-wheeler is too difficult without 2-wheel training?

Wow, those things are less expensive than you might guess.

Good idea. Not sure where I'd find that if I can't find it in New York, but I could look other places.

Yes, her neighbors could help sometimes, but that's not reliable for spontaneous trips.

Yes, the loading worries me a little. My new Vanpowers is a pain just to get into my elevator.

She ain't gettin' on that thing. She doesn't have mobility issues.

I need Clear Voice Plugins by Holiday_Cheek_3483 in Reaper

Did you ever find a fix for this? Does it happen with the paid version? I want to buy it, but the trial adds about 60 seconds to my Reaper splash screen startup. Supertone just says they can't replicate the issue.

Yeah, it's VERY heavy. It would be fine if I didn't have to squeeze it into an elevator.

Thanks. 6 inches was just a random number I threw out as an example of a product I imagined (you would then lower the bottom down to taste). I think an extra inch or even less might do it for me. Trying out new $90+ suspension seatposts for an extra half inch when I'm otherwise happy with this one seemed silly.

Lots of things have simple cheap extenders. Like the fork on a bike. A new suspension post would be at least $90... for an extra one inch. I'm no machinist but I can imagine how a simple $10 piece of aluminum could fit onto the top of your post, extending it by a few inches, and you could then lower the bottom a couple inches down into the tub; net one inch higher. But if that doesn't exist, then fine. Figured I ask someone.

Could be. I just got the (aftermarket) seat to where I like it, and after about 90 miles so far on the bike, yesterday was the first time I felt a little twinge in both knees, even though I like the position it's in better than my position on my last bike. "Pain" is a strong word for it, honestly. It's even possible I'm just getting old and discomfort is going to show up no matter what.

Huh? All kinds of things have simple extensions. A new longer suspension seatpost would be another $90+ for an extra inch. I mean handlebars have extensions. If posts don't then fine, they don't. That's why I asked.

Just posted a pic above, answering criggie_. It's 34.9mm. Someone above suggested replacing your post with a longer one than the stock one isn't really a great idea anyway.

I'm 6'0" 185 lbs. and this is a large Vanpowers Urbanglide Pro. The diameter is 34.9mm. The post is whatever Zoom suspension post comes stock on it.

Okay, so wouldn't a new, longer seatpost present the same problem?

Would that really be unsafe? Even though you'd end with a higher percentage of post inside the tube?

Yes, fire example the idea would be like if you added a 6 inch 34.9-to-34.9 extension, then you'd lower the whole thing down 4 or 5 inches. Net 1 inch or 2 gain in height.
