Some days ago I shared the bike parking space at my work corporate facilities. Just an update testing them with my foldable- electric bike. It is in fact extra difficult to use… if you were wondering.

the trick with getting a heavy bike onto a rack like this is to first pop it up onto the rear wheel, and then lift it with your leg (just above the knee) placed under the seat.

first, pop the bike up onto its rear wheel with you standing behind it holding the bars for control.

next, get directly under the hook.

don’t try to lift the bike with your arms.

place one knee just under the seat, and use your leg muscles to lift the bike straight up and onto the hook.

use your arms to guide it gently into place.

be sure to avoid hanging it next to the inner tube valve.
