    Hello
    It works great until the wheels start unwinding and then as you roll around the wheel falls off!

    After the 1st wheel fell off, I noticed one other was about to go and 2 others were loose! LOL

    If they included just 5 C type lock washers, it would not happen! I had to add my own!

    And there is never enough room to get a proper wrench in that little space to tighten the nut down.

    Yes, That is True!!! The addition of the lock washer does make it easier to get the wrench in there too!!

    Hmmm. Biker roller seat, huh?

    It's designed that way. You know, with only one wheel falling off....that leg then acts as a kickstand!
