Bike only has to rise 4 inches. The piston is about 6. I'll dig into after work.

That helps. I'll see if the paperwork for the chair mentions anything about capacity.

My experience with those chair cylinders is that they are weak. Everything will likely depend on having enough leverage so it will even...

I’d try and make some plywood test units to get the range and leverage correct Maybe some of our engineering staff can give some ideas...

That's what my initial thought was. But I'm having trouble "seeing" it, even with this picture. Still drawing a blank. If I still drank...

Your design so nothing says it has to run vertically correct? What about cantilevered like some do with airbags?
