Make a Portable Tallbike!

Step 7Dis-assembly for Transport!

Dis-assembly for Transport!
To fit this thing into a trunk or backseat, you simply (carefully) unbolt the top frame! This might be easiest and safest to do with the bike on its side on the ground.

STEP 1. Loosen either the clamp that holds the hub in the stem... OR Loosen the axle nuts so the fork can slide up out.

2: Loosen up the seatpost clamp. If the bike has a separate clamp (not welded to the frame), make sure it doesn't fall off or that you don't lose it! Some of the separate ones have a little set-screw that hold it onto the frame.

3. Undo the chain around the upper crank. Now the top bike should be totally separated.

For the pictured bike, I simply stuck the two frames next to each other so they took up a minimum of height. I wrapped a couple bungee cords around them. In this manner you can make your tallbike fit into the back seat of a 1995 Honda Accord.
