    A kayak dont weigh much. Provide a good cardiovascular workout while being pretty low impact. Carry a collapsible fishing rod and catch a healthy dinner too.

    I'm almost universally under a reitnouer flat, I wonder if a removable sling could be made for the center.

    Don't even have a small bike yet. Give me a minute. :p I'm hoping that spitballing will give me an answer, but that seems the best option so far. I don't think a 600lb liter bike would be best for the job.

    38" bar height, 52" to the deck ribs, so without putting the bars between the ribs that's about 14" clearance max from wheel to pavement. At least for the Grom.

    I went into a bike shop in Colorado and was checking out those electric assist bikes, could not really tell by looking at it but for us old farts flying past them youngsters on a hill is a good day. You can not go far on a charge but the little extra boost now and then is nice.

    My first motorized vehicle was an AMF Roadster a pedal-powered bike with a tiny motor that dropped onto the back wheel by flipping a lever. Something like that, built lighter with more modern materials, could easily hang on the back of most cabs. I remember that I could easily lift mine and carry it, though it was a lot heavier than a pedal bike.
