Bromptons in the Trunk

[Sandman1962]

I just want to share that it is possible to put two Brompton Folding Bikes in the trunk's footwell space.
This still leaves a ton of cargo space in the trunk with the seats up. After a bit of trial and error, the only way it worked for me was to place the bikes upside down. I used padding to ensure the bikes do not scratch each other. I also used a thick blanket to make sure I protect the car. It is very impressive how much space is in the trunk.

As far as the Bromptons are concerned... for those who are unfamiliar, they fold down to a very small size. They ride like a normal bike despite having 16 inch tires. For recreational riders, they are great. Instead of hanging around at superchargers, I go for a ride and get some exercise. The Bromptons are made in England, and are a bit on the pricey side...

Teslas and bikes seem an elegant pairing...

Anyhow, here are some photos:

Looks good. Guessing the Brompton would not fit in the frunk?

not the new smaller frunk. I was hoping that at least one would... but sadly no.

Are those training wheels on the green Brompton bike?

There are times that I want to upgrade my 2013 rear wheel drive to a newer Model S. Then, I open the frunk where my Bike Friday lives and I forget that idea

Wow that is pretty cool.

No.... when folded, you can use those wheels to roll the bike around. With one of the Brompton bags in place, you can use the bike like a shopping cart.

Hey thanks for these photos - I am going away this weekend and taking some brompton folding bikes. I wonder if you can tell me - could I fit 7 in the back without folding down the seats?

My guess is yes. if you have an empty footwell. Good luck
