Tesla Model 3

Anyone out there know if the Lectric XP bike fit in the rear seat and/or trunk of a Tesla Model 3?

Thanks

It should fit just fine... I carry a full-size Ebike inside a Model S.

Hey, you look like a young George Hamilton!

No problem in mine.

So one in the backseat and one in the trunk would work?

So, what is the trick to getting the bike in the trunk and backseat? I finally received my letric bike but not sure this will fit in a Model 3. The model S is larger than a 3....

Thanks
Mark

The key is to remove the front wheel... easy to do if you have Quick Release or Thru axles.

I remove the battery to reduce the weight and lift the front forks of the bike into the trunk first.

Confused, I don't think the XP has quick release, did you add that to yours? Was really hoping that I wouldn't have to remove the wheels to squeeze it in the M3....

Sorry, I was referring to another bike... I will have to let someone with an XP comment further.

He suggested folding down the handlebar. Make sure to take a pic if you’re able to get it in. I have a model 3 as well but still waiting for my ebike to get here.

Done! Looks like the key to the trunk is removing the handle bars! Thanks for everyone's help....

Does the folded bike fit in the 2nd row with or without the seats down?

I put the seat all the way down when I put it in the second row and the trunk. Helps to take that battery out too.

Thanks for the response. I take it that it won't fit 2 XPs in the Model 3 then.

1 in the boot and 1 in the backseat is how I work it. You can not fit 2 in the backseat.

Looking to put two 2.0 STs in our Model 3 as well. So one in the trunk and one in the back seat with seat back folded flat and handle bars out? Do you load one through the back door and one through the trunk? Have any pictures?

Solved! Took a whack at it today. Relatively easy to load into trunk with handlebar stem pulled out and derailleur facing up. Then with rear seat backs folded flat slide the first ST 2.0 forward enough to load the second also through the trunk. Ojai bike trail here we come!
If anyone still interested in pics I'll try remember to get some next time... Ride on!
