KS16X - one foot riding causes wheel chafe?

[Crooznfbroozn]

I noticed when trying to ride the KS16X on one leg I can hear the wheel rubbing up against the rest of the device. Is this due to the plastic shell being too flimsy and the leg pushing against the top of the device?

I remember trying this on the ks18xl and not having this issue?

I've also experienced this and have the same suspicion. Also, the plastic parts that house the red turn signal LEDs are also one of the attachment points for the side panels, and I've had one break, likely due to riding with one leg. After noticing this I try to ride with my foot as close to the case as possible (when riding on one leg) and that seems to have mitigated the problem so that I never hear wheel rub against that case anymore.

I have that issue on my 18xl. Didn't want to try on the 16x.

Weird. I tried it on someone's 18xl and it didn't happen. Tried it earlier with my foot as close to the body as possible but still getting the noise... Disappointing!

From what I can tell the clearance between tire and shell is minimal - when you one foot ride you put alot of pressure on the shell with upper leg and slight distortion causes contact with the tire. They cut it too close design wise.
