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.

Another video in german showing the relative size of it well:

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
