Can this pack be used WITHOUT the frame, like a book bag?

of course... you don't need the frame to use this. the frame helps for stability when climbing and fatigue etc etc.

Yes just take out the frame and connect to shoulder straps directly to the pack.

No. With a disclaimer. The pack folds over your carrier and has two very sturdy plastic boards inside the bag to keep it straight and away from the machinery. The hooks on the inside area of the bag attach to the carrier frame. The only concern I would have would be the age of the rubber that is used to connect up the hooks. If that got old or cracked the hook might become loose or break off and get caught up. It's a small hook so you would be unlucky if it brought you down. Like all things mechanical - a quick check before you hook it up and you'll be fine.

Yes, I think it would work well without one, I have one attached but it's a very sturdy frame

This bag does not have a back frame, and the shape is not long and slim type. So usually they would allow u to carry on if the bag is not full. However when the bag is not full, the top cover tends to slide to either side, so it doesnt look nice..

This bag does not include a frame. I sent mine back because it did not fit the frame that I had. It was also very shoddily made. The stiching was not very secure and the plastic attachments for the frame (not the bottom) was not in one piece. This bag will not fit the frame.

I have not tried but I don't think so even if it's empty due to the internal frame. If the pack is full then no way.

No. I bought a frame platform without a box frame. It's nice because it sits 14" up from the floor so there's room for storage underneath.

I do not think so. I don't think there is anyway to use it as a back pack. I think it would be uncomfortable given its construction. It is a very tall suitcase and absolutely wonderful for travel.

I haven't tried that (have an e-bike kit in my basement, but never got roundto installing it). The bag is probably a reasonable size and shape, and sturdyenough. But it gets awkward to wheel it around with a heavy bag of grocerieshigh up on the rack, and the same might apply to putting a heavy battery packthat high up. It's an awesome bag for lightweight stuff like lock, rainpants, lunch(especially because you can unclip it quickly and carry it with the shoulder strap).

yes, it can. The padding has velcro so you can rearrange it to fit the items you want to store in the pack.

Absolutely yes. Also it depends on how you arrange the panels, but there's room for quite a number of elements. You even get to remove all the panels and use it as a regular backpack.

No, it is a soft case bag. However, building a frame for it may make it more conducive to stacking.

Yes. It you can pack quite a lot into this bag for its size. But if you plan on putting a lot into it you could buy a large just to be safe. I'd also suggest buying the frame as well (usually sold separately) if you do plan on packing a lot into this bag.

Yes, this case will definitely work in a book bag. I use mine in a back pack and have had no issues.

No, (unless you put a book under it...) This product is very sturdy and lightweight... I use it a lot with various sized textbooks. When it is not needed, it folds up nicely.

As long as you aren't including a pair of shoes I think you will be fine. its a medium sized book bag...

No - as mentioned the build quality is really poor. If you try and stuff this backpack, it will tear.
