Weza Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 Hi all, I was just wondering if you think I could fit an average size mountain bike in a VW Lupo with all the seats out or would I need a roof rack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sausage Posted February 26, 2017 Report Share Posted February 26, 2017 With the front wheel off you probably could. Got a 24 BMX in the back of mine with no dismantling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, had one in with front wheel off. No need for "all the seats out" though, just fold the rears down... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derv Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Easy, if you take the wheels off. I took a DH rig, a hardtail, spares, tools, roof bars, 2 cycle racks, luggage, to Austria inside the Lupo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I moved the passenger seat forward a little though, back wheel against that and then the bars/forks towards the tailgate end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weslangdon Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 (edited) as cj1; you might get 2 bikes in if you are prepared to take both back wheels off and twist the handlebars Edited February 28, 2017 by weslangdon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derv Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Just use an Allen key and take the bars off the stem, as it makes much more room and doesn't take much effort. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirk1978 Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Fairly easy with back seats down and both wheels off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
