QuoteAlthough I admire your research methods, I think that's extreme muscle control.

Having helped a young lady into something that looked very similar, in my youth, I'd say it is flexible and clamps itself in place. Needs to be properly sized if you don't want it to either cut you in half or drop off as you walk.

QuoteAlthough I admire your research methods ....

Thank you.

I've compiled a research paper entitled, "How the Hell Does it Stay On?" and will be happy to share my findings with you, if you wish.

[Spoiler: Alas, I'm inclined to agree with Mike (Ithoriel) insofar that it is most probably an engineering solution and not an adhesive one.  ]

I just use glue, never had a problem. One wheel at a time.

"Into" ?

That was also explored in my paper ...

p.s. @Mollinary: we don't care any longer .... mind you, Nac451 might.    

In my limited (i.e. one time) experience you pull the front (red heart with white fur trim) and the back (bright pink "arse-antlers") apart and hold them low enough for the occupant to step astride, you then raise the item to a point where the occupant can take control and settle the thing into a comfortable position - or possibly "the least uncomfortable" position.

Bizarrely, I'd been taken on as a "minder" by a girl from the year above me in school who'd moved on from the groves of academe to a career as an exotic dancer in the local pubs and clubs. Her usual guy was down with some bug or other so she needed someone for a week to cover his absence. I was six foot, regularly did fencing, a bit of kendo, hill walking and swimming (changed days!!) so was fit and had combat skills of sufficient lethality that if laying odds on me versus a wet paper bag the smart money would be on the bag. Did that for a week then spent the next six working in the local public library service. It's been an odd life sometimes.  

Damn libraries are sexy!
