Interesting idea - we have a Corbin - No hole in the middle..

Yeah you have to have a seat with the slot in it to make it work.

That's what we do. She plugs in first then hops on.
Tried plugging in after seating, but was hard to reach the outlet.
An extension cord might be nice, I'll have to look into that.

Plugging in firsts was a little hard - stretching the cord? but when the wife gets off the seat - she does it a little different and her leg goes over the plugged in cord - don't ask me how and don't ask me to re-train her, she's 67, lol... she is retrainable as much as me at 66, lol,,,,, So,,, I am thinking the ext cord will work best,

A last second wheelie should prevent her from hanging her leg on the cord and the cord will prevent her from getting too far from the bike.
