Private airplane, no checkin at the airport, just a question about size, weight and performance. I ordered one yesterday

Cool choice, let us know how it works out with a follow up! A friend really likes his high-end Dahon folder-yes, I typed that sentence! He's looking into a SWYTCH kit for his Dahon. Keep it light and reliable. He's a merchant marine so flight approved is not that important.
No I won't be using it on an airline but in my own plane. I might order later if I like the bike.Did you order the Airline travel bag... perfect for your aircraft!

I spent some time seriously considering the Carbo x, so I joined their Facebook group. I think there are birthing pains with any company making a bike for the first time and there are a number of
Carbo buyers who seem quite happy. There have also been problems. I don't worry about minor things, but issues with the seat post bolt breaking and the front wheel coming off the fork aren't minor (they're not universal problems, but they haven't exactly been one offs either), especially
for a company with no dealer network. It sounds like you ordered it, but I'd join their Facebook group and make up your own mind. I decided to hold off.

I would love to see some more pics of your Montague and I'm sure I'm not alone. 👍 👍👍 After 18 years or so of riding "legacy"/non eMontagues, and knowing how tight the space was in my plane, when econversions first came on my radar I assumed they would not be practical for my particular...

It's been 5 years, so thought I'd see what you thought of the Carbo X. I just bought one and love it so far. Only downside is there's a limit to how low you can lower the seat post and not scrape the ground.

I saw that video, and that's what I thought I would need to do (sadly I will likely never custom build an external-load experimental), or buy a large enough plane to fit an xT225. However, the ebike revolution has made it feasible for more of us to do it within the cargo space without mods. Gratuitously plugging a family video where we review several ebikes that are sub-50 lbs:
