How to Transport a Lectric XP Folding Fat Tire Ebike In the Trunk of a Car

[@raindanse8466]

I swear everybody has a truck, jeep, or SUV but me. Finally I’m seeing a normal car fitting in the Lectric bike. Hallelujah, thank you.

[@EbikeProducts]

You’re welcome! Before buying the Lectric XP I was frustrated no one had a video showing if it fit in a sedan style car. After I got the Lectric and got it to fit, my wife reminded me about my frustration and helped me film the video. Glad it was helpful!

[@rosemarythyme8595]

Do you know what before I even got done finishing reading that comment I had already read your mind because I feel the same way!!💕 I drive a Toyota Camry and that is one of the reasons why I chose this bike because of the beauty of how it folds to fit in the car, but also to be stored in your home or your garage with a smaller footprint! :0)

[@EbikeProducts]

Just know, one thing I forgot to mention is that if it’s tight going in and out of the trunk, taking the seat and handlebars out helps a lot. Sadly, I am selling that Camry this weekend. Love that car

[@Maris-W]

Super helpful video! I've only discovered people putting them in RV's or van type vehicles, not a regular car trunk. Thanks for all the tips about what to watch out for during the process, too.

[@kupolaf2031]

As a one-vehicle family with a car, and not an SUV or truck, THANKS SO MUCH for this video.

[@EbikeProducts]

Watch other videos demonstrating how one can transport without any lifting heavy foldable fat tire like Lectric XP3 e-bike. Simply slide the folded bike to raised vertically 38x21-inch plastic cargo tote/bin, then slide the container with folded e-bike handlebar into the trunk using foldable car dog ramp 21-in wide at least. This way without any lifting one can place even two foldable bikes in the trunk of his/her crossover/SUV. Have a nice e-bike trip!

[@EbikeProducts]

I bought a few of those totes when I first got the ebike and tried them, I didn't like the pressure it put on some parts of the ebike (me just being extra picky) and since I didn't have an SUV anyway, decided to return the tote. My plan was to put the ebike on a table in the tote when storing it to save space or to transport it in the bed of my truck. As time has passed since, I think totes are a really good idea as the bikes are really tough and totes keep them very stable during transport.

[@USNAVDC]

Outstanding! I love how much care you take not to damage the bike or the car! Great advice and a lot of good tips! Great job!

[@EbikeProducts]

Thanks! I hope for both vehicles to last me a very long time with as little scratches, dings, and dents and possible.

Thanks for the loading/folding demo and now i'm hopeful that this will fit into my Accord. I'm amazed how few videos cover this important area of "FOLDING" bikes! If one can't load it, then why buy a folding type?

[@joesawyer931]

Fits in the trunk of my Tesla Model 3 about the same. Maybe a little tighter. Also can put my second bike in the back seat (optionally) in a storage bin.

[@EbikeProducts]

I bought 2 different storage bins to see if it would be easier to transport the Lectric in my car and both the bins were too tight to easily get them in and out by myself that I found myself straining my back way more when trying to fight with totes. I just need to buy a vehicle that I can load both the Lectric XP and the Bolton Blackbird safely at the same time. Maybe my next vehicle purchase will be a minivan? Thanks for commenting and watching the video!

[@1cosmocat]

I am a 5'2" woman can't lift my bike. I have a Subaru with a hitch so I have purchased a Black Widow aluminum (motorcycle)bike carrier with a ramp from Amazon. That way I can use the walk speed and walk it right up the ramp and secure. It is $143.99 now

[@EbikeProducts]

Wow! I looked up the carrier you got and I think I may consider getting one of those when I get my Bolton Blackbird and add it to my truck. That way I can bring the Lectric XP and the Bolton Blackbird (that I should be getting soon) with me at the same time without needing to lift the ebikes into the bed of the truck. Thanks for sharing about the Black Widow, that was super helpful information.

[@SyrusLang]

You can just leave the key in it so the battery doesn’t fall out. Learned that after my first time folding. I have truck now so don’t have to worry about folding anymore

[@EbikeProducts]

Keep an eye on your key when you do the folding and unfolding to make sure that the cable doesn't bend it. There were a lot of people who bent/broke their keys in the early days of the 1.0 version from the underside cable hooking on it.

[@jonnypetersen3681]

Great, you are my hero!

[@blumaninwi]

I saw in another comment elsewhere that a person said that you can use the thick padding that was inbetween thw two halves of the bike during shipping. Since I just got my bike, I still have the box, padding, etc.

[@ridesharebiz5317]

Great video. If necessary, I will fold my bike when I take my car to the shop during the pandemic. I have a liftback so putting it in the car is not a problem but I do recommend removing the battery and using a bungee cord when installing it inside the vehicle. I will admit the XP is a goofy bike to fold because of the fat tires. There are other ebikes that will fold easily into a car or to store them inside a home or office.

[@EbikeProducts]

Taking the car to get serviced now is something I don't dread as much now that I know I get to go for a nice ride on my ebike rather than sit in a waiting room for a few hours. It didn't bother me as much before masks were required everywhere as I find it difficult to keep one on for a long period of time. Thanks for the comment!

[@EbikeProducts]

If you have an xp or any folding bike that’s similar, you should have no issues putting it in a RAV4. Anything bigger or not foldable maybe need to have the front tire removed to get it to fit easily (as long as the seats fold down). CONGRATS on your new ebike!

@@anthonybyrne7121 I think I would’ve returned it too. Ebikes are expensive, if I put out good money on an ebike, I would not want to accept a damaged one.

[@EbikeProducts]

Good luck! Hopefully you get it soon! Once you get it, I think you'll feel it was worth the wait. I suspect wait time will only get longer from here and you'll think yourself lucky that you have yours when you get it. Supply chain issues for ebikes don't seem to be getting better and others (ebike shops and manufacturers) are hinting they are fearing things are only getting worse.

[@akassebaum]

I got nervous trying to do this in my Tesla Model 3. It’s the weight that makes it hard to maneuver around and watching each part of the bike so that it doesn’t snag anything. I didn’t continue. I bought a smaller e-bike for times that I want to take the bike into DC trails. I use to ride all the way into the city. Getting lazy these days…lol

[@EbikeProducts]

Yeah, e-bikes are heavy and have awkward stuff you have to watch out closely for while putting them in or out or you’ll have some deep scratches in your car. Smart move getting a smaller one just for trunk + shorter commute riding. I’ll sometimes throw a scooter in the trunk of my car or truck too if I know I might have to do a longer walk from where I’ll be parking.

This is helpful 👍 thanks!

[@EbikeProducts]

Glad to hear it!

[@michaelreeber2185]

Wether the bikes will fit in different models of cars is something of intrest to a lot of people. The manufactures would do themselves a favor, if they would solicit information from the people who have bought their bikes, and then have that info on their web site. I have a 2005 Hyundai Elantra sedan, and could use the info. The trunk is limited by the opening, but a bike would go through the side door easily. I am considering an XP, but hate to have to buy a hitch and rack, for almost the same cost as the bike itself.

[@cudderz97]

I think the bike makers don't want to potentially discourage people from buying their products! I was disappointed to find that my XP won't fit in the back of my Kia Forte hatchback without folding down the seats and laying it on its side. I would have thought twice about buying it had I known.

[@RenaultPanka]

Hmmm nice work. Is it possible to transport two fat(folding) bikes in a car trunk with the backseat dropped down?

[@EbikeProducts]

I don’t think so. It’s a pretty tight fit, but if you’re able to get the bike through the back door, it could work but that would be tough without a quick release front rim.

[@sylvancreekfarm]

Thank you! I have ordered the bike without seeing one in the flesh (I live in rural WA), and the hints on folding are very welcome. Now please show us how your wife loads it by herself. I am taller (5'9") and I have a truck with ample space - but how can I lift it? A ramp of some sort? I've looked at hitch mounted lifts for deer hunters, but did not find one that could be mounted on a truck with canopy. I know I am not the only retired woman who wants to ride independently, so there must be a way. Please advise!

[@EbikeProducts]

I think your may want to check out the youtube video that Ryan from ebike escape made about a rack he found. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXitY5l3btegaac He has 2 ebikes that demonstrated with the rack, but that manufacturer may have a single usage rack that could be a fit for your truck. My wife is not able to life the ebike and even I need a back brace to help prevent strain pain. With a rear mounted rack, you could hold the rear brake and lift the front of the bike and swivel the front tire in the rack first, then you would only need to lift the back of the bike on to the rack after which would be a lot less weight to carry. The bike is too heavy for my wife to even fold and remove the battery. It would take a little practice, but I think the rear rack is doable for a lot of people. I plan to get a rear rack for my pickup truck one day because the bed of the truck is very high and even difficult for me to carefully load in by my self while making sure to not let it tip. One big tip I can give you is to buy a folding stool the extra height comes in handy in so many ways when you need to lift the bike. Sorry I can't be of more help with the advice.

[@Gankstomper]

5'9 is not tall my friend.

[@gtaterbug]

@@EbikeProducts i may be a little dense, how can the stool help with loading into the trunk? I have a corolla and will have to fit it in there and I do worry about trying to do that. Thanks for your helpful ideas.

[@EbikeProducts]

@@gtaterbug depending on how Tal and strong you are, a stool can be helpful in getting your ebike a higher starting point or get you more leverage without lifting the ebike so high since stepping up on a stool while lifting puts you higher with using your legs rather than your arms. I’d love to hear if you’re able to get it into a Corolla’s trunk.

I have a 2011 C300 Mercedes and have been wondering if my 2.0 will fit in the trunk or not.

That looks fairly easy, but it's nice to have options.

[@raindanse8466]

Same. 2008 C300 and I’m desperate to know before attempting to lift the Lectric. Also, if one were to place the bike folded in to a 40 gallon tote, would it possibly fit in back seat? Seems I’m only person without an SUV.

Leaning toward the Commander XXL 64 gallon or Craftsman 50 gallon, since I've seen both of those work. I was able to fold and set my bike in the backseat of my car on a piece of carpet and it worked fine, but don't want to take the chance of tearing or soiling upholstery. Lowes sells Craftsman, but not sure of Commander.

Do you put your backseats down when you put your ebike in?

[@EbikeProducts]

No, there is no need to put them down as the bike doesn't even touch the back of the seats and there is room to spare. Also the trunk height gets lower the further in you go so I keep the bike as far away from the seats as possible. By the way, I realize now that taking the handle bars out of the stem can also make it easier to fit if needed.

The bike fit too tightly for my to feel comfortable leaving it in and was very hard to take in and out without needing 2 people as the tote needed to be held very sturdily with so much tension on it. I wonder if there is a market for an XP case? One that can close so it could be stacked?

Why don’t you just load the bike the other way so the derailer is facing up and no weight is on it duh

Because the screen might get crushed on the handlebars on the bottom.

I tried it the other way, but the handle bars and neck fold in the direction that could really damage other stuff that are harder to repair if they bend or break. You also don't want pressure on the brake rotors too. As long as you don't have the bike in a position that the derailleur is having a lot of weight on it, I found this method really was the safest in the trunk but also the easiest way to lift in and out.
