You are absolutely correct Harry, that was meant to be overall length and width of the platform, but it was not clear - we have updated it now and added in the overall stowed dimensions for good measure - thank you.

Bold move featuring the Nifty HR17NE in the delivery video, nice of the original to show up for its own tribute act
