Yup, it's right in the owner's manual. I've seen Youtubes of small women lifting the Wing up also. The Wing has protective bars along the front and back on the sides that prevent it from tipping too far over, maybe 75 degrees? They also keep a tip over from damaging the paint or the body at al. Clever design which I don't plan to test.

As far as the wrong girl goes, I married her, and yes she would laugh at me rather than help, but that's a different story. :roll:
