Will this bike fit in the trunk?
I'm thinking of getting an e-bike that can fit in the trunk of my BRZ. I'm looking at this Kalkhoff Sahel Impulse Compact 8R, it's a compact frame bike with folding handle bars and pedals, and a 250W mid-drive electric motor driving the rear tire
So would I be able to load this into the trunk with the seat and handle bars folded? It probably weighs around ~50lbs also. It's obviously thin enough profile to fit the height of the trunk, but I can't tell if it will fit the width of the trunk. http://www.kalkhoff-bikes.com/en/bik...8-g-nexus.html [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e10Nh00lVrw"]Kalkhoff Sahel Compact i8 Video Review - Mini Electric Bike with Mid Drive, 8 Speed Internal Hub - YouTube[/ame] Another video in german showing the relative size of it well: [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJgZQG6RlKE"]Raleigh Dundee iCompact bei OnBikeX.de - YouTube[/ame] Other choice is a Tern Link D8 with a BionX kit from NYCewheels, which would likely fit well enough but with a higher profile, however it's a folding frame and rear drive hub where the Impulse is a solid frame and mid drive, both which I'd prefer. http://www.nycewheels.com/tern-link-...tric-bike.html Last edited by radroach; 06-29-2014 at 09:42 PM. |
