Has anyone with a KS-18A made a "trolley handle"?

[Bryan Wells]

I know the 18 was supposed to be tall enough not to need one, but i am 6'3" tall and the wheel simply is not tall enough to be able to trolley with the stock shell.

Any ideas for making it just 6-8" taller to roll about?

A "C" channel fitted over the existing horizontal handle, fitted with a hinge at one end. The hinge would also be attached to the existing handle. 

This would allow you to lift the C channel and extend the height by approx 8 inches. 

Would that be a comfortable height for you ?

I'm having a hard time imagining how you mean. Any images of this C handle

I think he means a metal bar that's bent into "C-shape" (profile):

Well, not probably one made from steel, but the shape...

@Bryan Wells It would then be like a Ninebot handle.  Drill hole through c channel and Kingsong handle and insert pin of some kind.  Chamfer the end with the pin so  the other end would raise up to the height you need.

so your saying something like this??? looks like it would go right in my @$$ lol

OHHHH i get it! ill draw a new pic. i mean like the ninebot stock handle not the Trolley handle

you know... I do have a ninebot trolley handle I could bolt to the back of the ks if the back of the wheel is strong enough. Maybe even put a backing plate (in Grey_ behind the plastic to aid in strength...

Yes, but without the half circle just the part that lays on top of the Kingsong handle. One end raises up the other end is the hinge.

I apologise for not explaining properly, but think you have grasped the concept now.

If you wanted to make it really neat, to create the C section shape of the handle extension, you could mould fibreglass over the existing handle (top and both sides) so the shape matched perfectly

Kinda sounds like the InMotion V5 handle, which would be awesome to have on the KS-18A. I'm just 5'8" and have to slightly hunch to one side to roll my KS-18A.

That is exactly it.  Maybe could be used to replace broken NineBot handle.
