Actually, I'm sure it can't be THAT easy - but anyway, if I was to buy a small fleet of CarryMe's for this purpose, what sort of maintenance and repair issues should I expect, and what parts do I need to load up on?
I had missed this posting!
Wowow! If you do that, that would be huge news for the world of PORTABLE BICYCLES!
A full renting fleet bike carried to the rental spot.
As somebody might know, me too, as Makeinu, I am a portable bicycle partisan ( I developed the Mini125RD).
BTW, you might want to throw in your fleet also a couple of A-bikes. A-bikes are doing well. The new model year is out, see

I have run out of Mini125RD, otherwise you could count on me as a sponsor for this project. I am sure the Pacific Cycles people would think the same.
