How we travel with Lectric eBikes in our RV  

Hey TNT, Nice video. Keep those little gray cells communicating, Very nice food for thought. It's really fun to see how other folks solve problems. I would love to see how the couch extension moves into the main cabin.

My wife and I rv as well. We have the lectric bikes too!! We also store ours in totes. And to make it more interesting, our names are Tony and Tina!!! Lol

Exactly how we do the same thing in our Rockwood Mini Lite 2109s and our two Lectric bikes!!

THANK YOU. Everything I needed to know. Bike just arrived today, haven’t even unboxed it cause it’s ‘TO DARN HOT’. But followed your previous vid about the totes and did order and receive it. Haven’t made the mods yet but have everything to do it. This one was very helpful as I am hoping fingers crossed I will be able to heft it either into my tear drop which will be a tight fit. Will try the empty tote box first see how that goes, OR into my SUV. Either one will be a challenge as a solo traveler. I’ll have to ‘PUMP UP’ real quick. Having the totes is BRILLIANT. You two have great chemistry on camera and off I’ll bet. THANK SO MUCH. RIDE ON!!!

Team work!! That's how my husband and I work together!! :)

Thanks for the video! Just purchased 2 Husky 45 gal bins today after watching your video instead of hitch bike rack. I like having the bikes inside our 5th wheel. NO rain , no worrying about them falling off or someone taking them off. ( H.D. now priced at 39.99)( cheaper ones available without wheels and lightweight... won't last as long)

Thank you. Very helpful. 😊

I've just purchased 2 folding ebikes xp 2.0 and this was very helpful. A suggestion: Can you remove the seat post and put the handlebar where the seat post was? This would protect all the stuff you have on the handlebar - Mirror, controller, phone holder, shifter, break levers, rubber grips, etc... Thank you.

Great idea. We have our 2 and wish we saw this sooner. A few trips on the rack on the back and not happy with how they’ve been beat up. This is such a great and easy idea. Fold up the dogs cages and slide the bikes right in their spot. Thanks guys!

the expansion rod was genius!

Smart! A question I have is do you have to remove the battery? Thanks

You guys make some great videos! Very helpful solutions to problems a lot of people have. Keep up the good work, guys! 👍👍

Wow I like your rv it's got just enough to be comfortable.

I've just purchased a folding ebike and this was very helpful. Thank you

Great demonstration! I’ve used totes too, and I have given detailed instructions on the best way to load an eBike into a pickup, with cap. (In my case the Lectric XP Premium. Several things that I liked. You had your wife helping you (I will use that with mine to convince her… if necessary😉😁) Then there are those pipe insulators, genius! I’ll be adding that to mine. (64 gallon yellow handle, heavy duty tote with wheels). Also liked the use of a extendable brace. I have one already but they would come in handy if I get a cargo trailer. Thanks. Lastly, to keep the tote from moving/falling over I added a cargo strap (without the ratchet) to go around the tote. Mine attaches to the bedside rail. The strap held, but would slip occasionally because of temperature or extended movement. I fixed that with some bent coat hanger metal shaped into an S. This keeps the strap up near the edge(where you have the pipe insulation. Eventually I’ll add so E small hangers (1 inch strap looped, with a buckle on the ends to keep it from falling through the slot in the tote edge). Anyway great video, hope these suggestions help. By the way, I notice you commented on the bikes weight. All together the two batteries on the Premium weigh 15 pounds. I always take them off before moving the bike. They go behind the drivers side seat in the cab. I keep them in a fireproof bag that allows charger(s) to thread through. That and a fire blanket is what I rely on if the unthinkable happens. As to an extinguisher, most would not work, so removing the batteries really counts. The only extinguisher I know of that can reduce or eliminate a battery fire would be a decent size CO2 pressurized extinguisher. Better safe than sorry…

Super smart y'all

Thank you for your info. We have Lectric eBikes and we are campers, we are always looking for new ways to transport them.

Hey Friends!! Was so great meeting you at the GlampOut!! ~ 4Ever Trippin

Nice, We use totes also but we like them in the back of our Nissan Armada. Reason being many times we unhook the camper at the campground and then travel with the truck to different places to ride our Lectric bikes.

Thanks for sharing! We have the same RV and bikes.

Hi Tony and Tina, thank you for the quick response. Greatly appreciated. We love your videos, watch regularly. Keep up the good work. Our camping season up here in British Columbia Canada will be starting Easter Long Weekend. Have a great day. Natascha and Bruce

Nice video with helpful information. We travel with ours in a similar fashion.

Great idea with the storage tubs!

Another RV’er puts the bin vertically then rolls the folded bike in then tips the bin down. No lifting. Then he uses a dog ramp from Amazon (which has to be stored- it telescopes) so he doesn’t have to lift the bin- he easily does it himself. I’d want to avoid lifting as his method allows

Nice video can you tell me what size bin you are using please Thanks

Where do you get those bins? Looking at getting this ebike.

My wife and I just purchased 2 Lectric bikes and decided to pick up a few totes for traveling in fifth wheel. Wanted to ask where you store your bikes when camping? Do you bring them inside daily or just chain up? We're excited to use these for the first time but want to keep protected as well. I feel we'll bring ours in at night even though it will cramp us some with space. Thoughts??

Good videos. I appreciate your thoroughness. I’m curious why you don’t put the bikes in the bed of the truck? I understand the desire to gain more space inside the Rv but even with the torsion axles, there is a lot of weight and leverage on the rear end of a travel trailer. I’ve seen lots of bouncing bikes on the back of trailers especially when crossing overpasses. Last one had the front wheel of a bike dragging on the ground. Of course he had five bikes on the back. 😮 We always hauled ours either in the bed of the truck or on a special bracket I built on the dinette seats.

I was just about to buy a 55gal Lowes Craftsman wheeled tote I saw in another video, but these Home Depot Husky 45gal look to be a nicer more compact fit, and cheaper to boot! Thanks! I just hope I can lift it up into my SUV.

Came over from real weekend warriors

Where do you store them when you’re camping?

Saw y’all on the real weekend warriors!!! Just subscribed!!!!!

What size pipe insulation did you use around top of totes?

Great video! Where did you get that extension rod & who makes it? Many thanks...

Love that you’re wearing your KYD shirt!! Coincidentally, I’m wearing mine as I’m watching your e bike storage video!😃❤️

Nice video we have the same bikes and the same challenges moving them I transport them in the back of our car that we tow I also have done two RU-vid videos

When you load the bike into tote, wheels should be over the wheels of the tote. This will take pressure of your arm while pulling the tote.

Get one of those folding dog ramps, put it in the doorway and roll the bin right up and in.

Grab the bin on either side (not front/back), toss it in the door wheels first, n wheel it right into position. Ergonomics.

How much those bikes weigh?

What size bins are they?

What size are the husky containers for the Lectric bikes?

What brand/model are those boxes ? Any link please ?

Could you put one tote on each side of the bed during travel?

what ya gonna do when one of those ebike batteries start burning ?

What size is the pipe insulation on the edges of the totes?

Your trailer has a receiver hitch. Why not just get a hitch mounted bike rack?

I'm not seeing any links 😕

great now do non folding bikes

Why not just get a bike rack for the rear of that camper it comes with a hitch that's rated 300 lbs

Far from effortless. Great idea of you have two people.
