Electric bicycles
Does anyone know of a folding electric bicycle that would fit through the baggage door of a PA28 (specifically a AP28-181).
Hoping to fit in two for away trips.
Ideally I am looking for ones actually seen to have fit rather that speculative suggestions.
Thanks.

Folding bike
Prob better to go for non elec aluminium, lighter and no other issues plus better exercise. I used one for years.

Ebbie,
I agree with Pobjoy, adding the reason that if you have a fire in a battery back there, that's a lot of energy, and you're not going to be able to extinguish it.
I have two Bromptons, which I could not recommend more highly - excellent bikes in general, and fold really well. They are worth every penny in utility and quality. I have had them for 23 years, and been all over with them. Two fit perfectly in the back of my C150. I took my wife, the two bikes, and a little baggage from Canada to Bahamas for a few days years back.
To this day, I ride my Brompton most days just for fun.
