Can this EBIKE Fit in the Back Seat of Your Car?!? Small, Light, Compact Electric Bike

A small, compact, and light e-bike that can fit in the trunk of your car or the backseat.

Hey everyone, I'm Dustin. I have nearly 20 years of experience in the bike and e-bike industry. And right here, I've got a small, compact, light e-bike, the Simple Step-Thru 20 inches that can fit in the trunk of your car or backseat of your car. All right, so transporting bikes and e-bikes is important to a lot of riders. This is the simple step-through 20 inches at the lowest step-through height of any e-bike on the market. I guarantee it. It is only nine inches to step through the frame and get on and off. It also weighs 46 pounds without the battery, and 52 with the battery, so pretty light. I'm gonna show you how we can fit it in the back hatch. Now this hatch is 42 inches wide, 32 inches deep, and 30 inches high. Now, may have to put the seat down to get it in the back here. Let's go ahead and try. I'm going to show you how we can get this real compact.

The frame doesn't fold in half on this one. It's a rigid frame. We did that on purpose, but you can fold your bars down like this. From here, if you want to make it even easier, pull your seat out as well. Now, the easiest way when you're loading it is you may want to turn the wheel like this. Because that's going to minimize the amount of space it's going to take up when you load it in. And grabbing it somewhere back here on the back of the frame. And again, if you want to decrease the weight, you can always take the battery off. Okay, so we are going to have to put the seat down, which is no problem. So let's go ahead and put the seat down. And it actually may be easier to even get this in the back seat because for the back seat... We won't have to do quite as much. I'll just fold the seat down there. Now from there, just come right over here. And you can do whatever is easiest for you. Probably loading the front wheel in is going to be easier. And in this case, probably not spinning it as well. There we go and you can lay it down in there nice and easy. Now, again, this would be much easier without the battery on because you're going to reduce it by eight pounds, but I just left it on to show that it can be done.
