The exploding popularity of electronic bikes (e-bikes) the past few years has undoubtedly benefited several from getting in their physical activity.

But it has also thrust to the forefront a unique problem for some users.

㽶ƵֱThey are very heavy to lift onto a bike rack,㽶Ƶֱ said Vernon resident Sean Hannigan.

㽶ƵֱOne day I got the idea that it would be a lot easier to rack if it could go all the way to the ground and you can roll the bike on and off.㽶Ƶֱ

So, Hannigan decided to tinker with some parts and voila 㽶Ƶֱ the Lift Caddy was born.

㽶ƵֱIt came to me basically in the middle of the night,㽶Ƶֱ he said. 㽶ƵֱI got up and went, 㽶ƵֱHmm, maybe I am onto something here.㽶Ƶֱ㽶Ƶֱ

Hannigan㽶Ƶֱs model, perfected just six weeks ago through a couple of prototypes, is hydraulic and designed for use on all kinds of bike racks.

With warmer weather approaching, the appetite for the Lift Caddy is growing more and more everyday.

㽶ƵֱI started selling them last week and I have sold 30 in three days, and have just sold 10 today.

㽶ƵֱMy phone has been ringing off the wall, it has just been crazy.㽶Ƶֱ

Hannigan even joked about hiring on a couple of his friends, due to how fast the business has taken off.

If you are interested in purchasing one, you can do so .
