Anyone have an idea how I can raise the ground clearance by an inch? I couldn't find a thread on here seeing if someone already did it.
why do you need more clearance?

6" seems to be PLENTY even for pretty rough roads.... I recently used my ePony to shuttle concrete block (12 at a time) up a fairly steep 'unmaintained' access at a new construction jobsite... I walked the route first, and there was nothing over 6", so I decided to just drive up to get a bunch of ballast block up to roof level without climbing a ladder....

Contractors on site were impressed with the work the Mach-e can do!

This is after after about a mile of pretty rough dirt road off the highway. It did remarkably well as a 'rock crawler' at 2-3 mph on the roughest sections.

Purely educational.question, what benefit to the rider does a spacer provide. Many people have issue with the "Riding on waves"/bouncy nature of MachE.

Just a slightly raked stance / appearance, if the spacer goes on the rear springs.
