Default Car2Go + Bike?

Anyone know if you can fit a bike in one of those Car2Go smart cars?

I highly doubt it. Unless it folds up or is a kid's bike.

Maybe a small child's bike, but certainly not a full-size adult bike.

People barely fit in those things, I don't think a bike will.

Unless you have a James Bond like bike that folds up into a briefcase.

Yeah that's kind of what I thought. Was hoping there were ones with bike mounts on the back or roof or something...

You can fit a bike in if it has two quick release wheels and a frame 18" or less. It impedes slightly woth driving but it fits. Not sure about larger frames

Possible



or stick it out the back window


There's a failed kickstarter to make a portable Car2Go bike rack that fits in your bag. It's too bad that didn't fund. It's a really good idea.

I don't know where you got that idea from, but it's simply wrong. I'm a bigger guy at 6'4", 220 lbs, and yet I have no problem at all fitting into a Car2Go Smartcar.

I'm just a few inches taller than you and I can barely get in the things. It takes some extreme angling of my right leg to get it under the wheel, and the seats aren't the easiest to move back before you're sitting in them, but I have no chance unless it's all the way back.

I've driven in many other small cars, and these are one of the toughest for me to get in besides a Lotus Elise.

It's a great service, but the cars are utterly horrible. That transmission… ugh.
