Smile Bike inside the trunk?

Hi guys, COVID-19 has finally forced me to get my lazy *** of the couch and go start riding, I was wondering if any of you riders are able to remove the front wheel and fit rest of the bike inside the trunk, havent bought the bike yet.
Thx in advance

Depends on how big the bike is and how wide the handle bars are.

One of our bikes you need to take both wheels off.
The other fits with just the front wheel off.
I'm confident that a folding bike would fit just fine.

That said, usually we just put the universal strap-on rack on the trunk/boot as that only takes a couple of minutes to fit vs fiddling about with the bike wheels on/off and battling with one the bikes brakes.

Good luck with your bike purchase.

I fit a 700c bike in the trunk by taking the front wheel off and stuffing it all in the trunk.
Does require some finagling and might be a bit awkward, but you should be okay.

Is it possible to test fit before buying?

My dirt jump bike will fit with both wheels off. My 29er mountain bike won't fit at all. My road bike fits with one wheel off. It all depends.

The trunk is decently deep. Not as deep as a w212 e series but it's definitely got some room. The limiting factor is the trunk opening.
