Just bought this. Ad says that you can fold for easy storage. I don't see how b/c 2 horiz bolts prevent seat bar from folding. What am I missing?

It doesn't really "fold" for storage, but if you lift it from the back end, you can roll it around on the wheels at the front (water tank) end and then tip it straight up to store it vertically...in a corner or against a wall. It should stand on its own. (Note: make sure your cork is securely in the water tank!)

You're not missing anything. It's a mis-statement in the ad. The rower doesn't fold, but it does turn upright very easily for storage. Hope that helps!

I believe that the word "folding" is misleading. I lift it up by the rail end and tilt it up on end. More like TILTING than folding. Hope this helps! Once it is in this situation, it takes up very little room.

It doesn't fold, but it does flip up on end which gives it a pretty small footprint, and you can also easily roll it around that way.

Mine was really hard to move around with the rollers (straight out of the box) and I noticed one of the wheels is completely missing...good luck moving it if that's the case with yours.

It won't fold up. But it does stand up on an end very easily for storing out of the way.

I don't know that it does fold. You just stand it up on the water reservoir end. Takes very little space.

I can see how that could be a problem! Ours is mounted on a sedan which keeps the handlebars above the trunk so it doesn't touch. Also, realize this isn't a 'folding' mount so if you mount it to the back of a truck you won't be able to open the tailgate very far. Hope this helps! Jae

You can fold it all the way back if you unfasten the rear support rod. That is how I trailer it. I Wouldn't trust the sturdiness of it at highway speeds when it is up.

It is possible to fold it but only with the removal of a specific bolt in the frame. It is difficult and cumbersome but not impossible. If you are looking for a chair that folds easily, then I suggest that you keep on looking.

Folding not an option. I suppose you could remove the nuts and bolts and disassemble it for storage. I am using it in a spare room as a dressing bench.

That's a really good question, I haven't tried, but I think you can kind of push it folded, especially if you strap it together tightly, when it's folded. I bought a couple nylon straps with cheap plastic quick release buckles off Ebay (less than $5 incl shipping, I think. Something like that), and I can roll it that way. If you don't strap it together, it's a pain in the a55 to transport. But usually I'm just going from car to garage or front door so it's not far to carry. Cuz if it was much further... I'd unfold it and ride to where I was putting it away :-)

No. Once you put the handle bars on, it becomes one piece and cannot be folded.

It does get easier! However, my go-to move when folding down and popping into my truck is to always make sure to have the handle bar facing up. That way you can grab it with the right hand, unlock with the left and make one swift motion when opening it up. Until it becomes fluid take advantage of the snap that keeps the seat stable to the frame at least for forward facing. I haven't parent faced in a long time and can't remember if there were any mentionable nuances there. Good luck!

When folded, the seat frame provides an easy handhold to carry it. To make the bar more comfortable, you can slip a foam tube (like a pool tube) slit lengthwise onto it.

Mine was delivered folded, with the cover on. To unfold and set up is super easy, and just involves locking a joint on the two longer top bars. We have folded it up and set it back up multiple times for travel with no problems.

I'm not elderly, but I am disabled w/chronic pain-many elderly people can run circles around me. That being said, I have no trouble folding it up. I lay it in an unobstructed area in a hatchback, and slide it back out w/no problem. I did have a small car & it is a pain if you have to stand it behind the seat, or jockey the wheels around in a small trunk.

This chair folds easily but the back doesn't fold down it's the handles and the armrests that touch when folded so that the seat and back cushions cave in (does that make sense?). . .and the footpads do come off so I would think you could get it into a trunk . . .I had a sales rep of a mobility store ask where I purchased it. .He couldn't believe how lightweight it was and was going to go back to the store and order some. Thank goodness for Amazon!

My seats just fold down over the Duha and works just fine. There is no way that I know of to lock it down unless there is some aftermarket gadget.

It does fold for storage. It has a clip to keep it closed but I can't get it to stay clipped. It may be operator error.

Just pull up on the section with the knob. Once you do it a few times it will be very easy. I used this device after two hip replacements, one knee replacement, and two foot surgeries. I was teaching during all those events, and had to drive myself to school and doctor's visits. It was very easy to fold and unfold, and easy to put behind the front seat.

Legs do not fold, they can be pulled off. You need to remove the stabilizer bar if you want to store it flat.

The vertical bar does not fold down. The two horizontal bars where you put the tires will fold up. As far as opening the trunk, if the bikes weren't in the rack you could slip off the "hold down" brackets and that should allow the trunk to be opened and closed.
