Bonjour from Northern California!

Hi all,
Just purchased my first ebike - the Gazelle Medeo T9. Currently waiting for it to arrive and am super excited to tackle the hills in and out of San Francisco!

My only concern is lifting my bike up 2 flights of stairs. I've been eye the Thule EasyFold XT Long Loading Ramp and am wondering if anyone has tried to use a few of these to tackle the stairs in a walk-up? Would love to hear how others have tackled the "stairs" with a portable solution.

Welcome sfcanuck, I’ve used the walk up mode and it does help a bit, but not as good as it’s supposed to. Good luck.

I used to occasionally carry my Vado up stairs or on a long escalator run at BART. Not pleasant. I used to grab the crossbar and carry it like a suitcase, or sometimes, put the crossbar under my arm and hold it by the seat tube. Either way, cumbersome and heavy, as throwing it up on my shoulder wasn't an option.
