You need to know how to load ebike into a small car if you are going to be able to use the vehicle to reach good riding spots. I use an affordable folding ebike, the OneBot T6F, to demonstrate. You do not need a truck bed to transport a folding electric bike! Folding e bikes are made to transport without the cost of a high capacity hitch!

Works well, thanks. I used a belt (pants). They're adjustable and more durable. Also wider and easier on the fingers.

@KayakhacksFishing Год назад

Good idea!

I also have a folding ebike. I am 59 years. Very heavy THANK YOU❤ I will try this

@barrybegley5379 Год назад

For a 75 year old, I am finding these folding eBikes way too heavy to manhandle into a hatchback or minivan. Rather than fold and lift, I find the much easier way is simply to purchase an inexpensive folding dog ramp from Amazon for around $50, then instead of folding the bike in half (which makes it less manageable) just leave it in the riding position BUT fold the handlebars only. Then the bike will roll up the ramp with ease. Just lay it down on its side being careful of the derailleur. This is 100% easier than lifting it. Let the ramp and the rolling wheels do the work for you. No extra dollies or 50 gallon tubs needed, just the ramp, which weighs in at about 11 pounds. Piece of cake. Greetings from Ontario, Canada.

Great idea! Thanks

It’s much better 65 lbs or heavier foldable fat tire e-bike sliding option into the vehicle trunk without lifting. Check alternative videos about this task using a 200 qt 50 gal storage containers and car foldable dog ramp. Save your back foldable e-bike riders. Good luck

@jamesallen8107 5 месяцев назад

The videos I've seen with the storage container/dog ramp approach, the person had a minivan with higher clearance in the back, that allows the folded bike to be stored upright. But this person had a hatchback sedan (with less vertical clearance), which is also a problem with a sedan with a standard trunk (my situation) - then the bike needs to be stored on its side (part of his discussion about which side to store the bike on). Some variation of the dog ramp may be do-able, but probably not with the large storage container, and neither he nor I can put the bike in, upright (the folded bike must be stored, on its side). My positive is that I have a Lectric XP Lite which is a little lighter at under 50 lbs.

Thanks! Tying the wheels together makes it so much easier to lift.

@truewordz777 Месяц назад

Brilliant sir. thank you!

@KayakhacksFishing Месяц назад

Glad it was helpful!

@user-om6cf9wc9t 5 месяцев назад

The car dog ramp and 32”x22” (LxW) plastic bin/tote, or call it storage container works for almost all vans, SUV/Crossovers, pickup trucks without any lifting. Just roll the 65 pounds foldable step-through e-bike (like in my case) inside the container that is turned on its width vertically, then slide it by pushing on the ramp, or pull it on the ramp in normal container position parking the container in the trunk. There is a trunk place for a 2nd foldable bike as well, transported next to each other. That is it.

Good Point!

@timrossmultimedia 5 месяцев назад

Bingo! I FINALY found my solution. This is a great idea. Thanks so much for sharing. Very helpful.

@KayakhacksFishing 5 месяцев назад

@Mojo-Risin-Risin 14 дней назад

You can buy a derailer guard.... cheap to help with protecting it... Some bikes are shipped with them installed

@KayakhacksFishing 14 дней назад

Yes! I bought one for my other ebike. I should have got one for this one as well. Thank you for pointing that out to other viewers.

@terryhenderson3959 Год назад

Thanks... You helped me. Just got my bike and its around 75lbs. Its made to be handled about as well as you can but it's touch. I have a little Prius C (a little smaller than the regular Prius's). But it fits really well.

@KayakhacksFishing Год назад

Glad it helped!

thank your sir God bless you I literally looked for something like this

@KayakhacksFishing 3 месяца назад

You are very welcome

Thanks, great tip! I found this useful

Those moving blankets are good but don't let them sit in the car, the sun/ heat seems to make them come apart. A decent quilt from Goodwill or a cheap store has been about the same for padding and longer last for me. Also a little pvc on handle loop may help the cheese wire effect on the rope handle, soft tube works ok too.

@KayakhacksFishing Год назад

I need to add the PVC to the handle. I did that for all my 5 gallon buckets and it does make a difference!

@tictac9367 Год назад

Thanks for the video all that seems like a mission im thinking of getting a scooter instead

@robtangent4664 Год назад

Good idea.

@KayakhacksFishing Год назад

Thanks!

@vinceimp9581 Год назад

Second thought is you may he able yo fit the whole bike in one of those roof top bags and prevent a lot of potential damage like that. Once again goodwill is a nice place to get one on the cheap. You may find some other case or bag it fits in with a handle at thrift stores.

@KayakhacksFishing Год назад

Good point. I would have to find one wide enough for the bike to lay on its side since it is too tall to fit.

@signupisannoying Год назад

Isn't it going to be harder to carry such a heavy bike up that high?

@tonylopez7649 11 месяцев назад

I recently purchased a folding e-bike. There is a fella on RU-vid who puts his e-bike into a 50 gallon tote, then slides it up on a portable pet ramp. Hope this helps.

@KayakhacksFishing 11 месяцев назад

Yes. That is a good solution

@evolutionaryTom Год назад

Nice video, Col. but Steve is going to be reviewing your man card status after loading this into a Prius. ;-)

@KayakhacksFishing Год назад

lol! But.... it's my wife's car :-) My truck is a 22 year old Ranger!

@pacman4568 3 месяца назад

Place some cardboard along the sides to avoid scratching the plastic on the sides of the boot.

@KayakhacksFishing 3 месяца назад

Great idea! Thanks

@gabesvidz 6 месяцев назад

Correct about not damaging bike or car but most of all I don’t want to damage my back.

@RondiLindquist 2 месяца назад

Now that it's in there, how do you get it out?

@KayakhacksFishing 2 месяца назад

You can pull on the blanket to get it to the edge and then grab the rope and the front

@GinoFerreri Год назад

Laying your bike on the side of the derailleur if you're not careful, it might cause issues i.e. alignment of the chain

@KayakhacksFishing Год назад

Very true.

@MucaroBoricua 9 дней назад

That's easy for you because you are a strong 50 year old dude.

@KayakhacksFishing 9 дней назад

lol... thank you for that! I am 72

@rajeshj8383 Год назад

Can it come ahead of front passenger seat or between front and rear seats in standing position

@KayakhacksFishing Год назад

Not on the Prius. It might work on a different vehicle

@mist4926 11 месяцев назад

if you take seat off and handle bars will it fit up right

@KayakhacksFishing 11 месяцев назад

Good point. Thanks!

@bethloomis8961 Год назад

How do you stop it moving around should you have to stop suddenly?

@KayakhacksFishing Год назад

You can add something between the bike and the front seats. If you have tiedown points, you could use those as well

@jasonnisi1602 Год назад

I ordered one. How much assembly is there to put it together.?

@KayakhacksFishing Год назад

Basically, none. I do have some tips I share in this video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_558MqbVKL8.html

@Planzman1 Год назад

Have you checked out cargo ebikes like rad wagon or others?

@KayakhacksFishing Год назад

No. I would love to. The stores selling ebikes here do not have them.

@Jim-df1vx Год назад

anyone try to get lectric bike in a 2003-2008 corolla sedan? back seat? trunk? any luck?

@KayakhacksFishing Год назад

I am interested in the answer as well

@kaysmile1866 6 месяцев назад

the rope make easier

@mikegorton691 Год назад

Use a foldable dog ramp and 50 gallon plastic tote

@KayakhacksFishing Год назад

Yes, good approach. I would have done that if my bike would fit without having to lay it flat
