Hey,  I just picked up an esseesse9, rode it around town a bit and love it. I've made it a habit to see how I'd need to lift up a bike in case I drop it, so I removed the front turn signals, put down a blanket, and tried the usual back-to-the-seat and lift with the legs technique, but wow, I just couldn't get the leverage I'd expected. Tried from a couple angles, but the bike is so top heavy and lays down pretty horizontal that it was difficult getting my feet underneath me. Had to get a roommate to help lift a little and once I got the tires on the ground and angle up a little it was heavy, but fine.

Anyone figure out a better way? I'd hate to drop the bike on some isolated road somewhere without an assist.

Thanks!
