    Eddie there are some good videos on how to. You need some security torq bits. I used a die grinder to open up the case so it?s not pulling on wires and used a hot glue gun to help with balance wires chaffing. To solder the battery wire I just peeled back the battery cover some.

    I have flown my Kitfox around the USA three times now and brought a pedal operated folding bicycle with me each time. There are no perfect folding bikes. Folding bikes come with either 12" wheels or 16" wheels. The 16" wheel bikes are much better to bike on and can handle the gravel roads that often lead to rural airstrips but these bikes do not fold down quite small enough so that they can quick-fold into the cargo area. Typically with a 16" folder you have to remove the seat, front wheel, and sometimes the rear wheel too. The 12" wheel folding bikes fit fine but then you have to walk over gravel. Here is a video of me packing my 16" BikeFriday into the cargo area so you get an idea of what is required ...
