- Опубліковано 28 сер 2024
- Today we show you how we transport and store our #lectric ebikes. We purchased these bins at Lowes and modified them to fit our bike. These bins will work for the new lectric 3.0 since it has the exact same dimentions as per the lectric website.
Now we can easily move our bikes and then fit them in our car.

We refuse to grow up. We're 70 and you inspired us. We just purchased a couple of XP 3.0s believing they should fit in our 2019 CRV. You proved it works. GREAT and very informative video. Lowes just sold two more tubs! They need to give you folks a kickback for all the tub purchases you've inspired! Thanks again... very helpful.
A kickback would be awesome😅 but it’s even better to hear we inspire people. Thanks for the kind words. Enjoy your bikes and ride safe!!
This is great! As a single, late 50s woman, I wanted a folding bike for the purpose of being able to transport it. But didn’t realize how not only heavy they are, but bulky. This makes lifting them so much easier. Getting myself a container right now!
So happy this has helped you . Many have said they have made a ramp to slide the bins into their vehicles just take your time I know you can do it thank you so much for watching and your support
When I first watched this, I thought you were a little obsessive to go to this much trouble. Just use them the way they are. Then I watched it again, and showed my wife. Now she’s on the way to get two of these totes and I’m going to do the same as you show here. This is pretty fantastic. Nice job…happy riding. #loveLectrics
Thank you very much for watching and the compliment our bins are still working fantastic for us and we hope they work just as well for you
My thoughts were exactly the same but it is actually a very good solution. I am going to duplicate this or maybe a modified version if the tote will squeeze into the back of my F-150 crew cab with the seats up.
Great job describing your process. I almost went the 40 gallon route but after seeing this with your mods I'm going to replicate what you did. Thanks!!
Glad I could help and thank you for watching and for your support we appreciate it
Thank you for the tips and visual details. We plan on storing in a crate. We should receive our 1st ebike
Lectric-2.0. soon.
That’s why alternative method to bring the heavy foldable step-through e-bikes to the car trunk like $700 Aipas A2 Elite and very similar equipped $1,000 Lectric XP 3.0 - is to get a car foldable dog ramp with the appropriate width of plastic container (22”/32” size) and just slide the foldable e-bike in the container easy to your trunk for transport or storage. No lifting at all even when sliding the foldable bike into the vertically-positioned plastic bin.
Thanks for your input.
Love how New Yorkers figure things out and make them better. Fantastic job. Gonna do this in my travels around the country. Peace and Blessings to you and yours.
There is always a way Thank you very much for watching and your support we appreciate you . Safe travels and be blessed
Very helpful!😊
Glad you think so!
Very clever & handy! Thank you for sharing! Hugs and love to you and your family. ❤️✝🤗 Have a beautiful and blessed week. God Bless ❤️✝🤗
Thank you! You too! we hope yo are doing great
Ok, I'm a mile from Home Depot. I used the Husky 45 gallon wheeled tote, almost identical. Works great, the frame fits down inside the tote like yours. I have the Lexada quick release pedals on my bike so it's a tad skinnier than the stock fold up pedals. And my rear derailleur guard was sticking out unnecessarily far so I banged that in a touch so it wasn't bulging out the side of the tote. The wheels are great, especially in the garage and on pavement. Much easier to get the tote in the front compartment of my fifth wheel. Thanks for showing us how to get er done!😎
So happy you were able to find a bin that works for you . I passed on the bin you used to some others who having trouble finding the one we used . Thank you for sharing your experience with everyone
Excellent video!! I followed your directions nearly identically and the result was perfect. These tubs are decent quality. I used my jigsaw for all of the cutting and didn’t have any issues with the plastic cracking or splitting. I also put a few more zip ties on the corners and handle area so the lid will not separate anywhere. Thanks again! Our XP3.0s will now travel in style!
That’s awesome, enjoy!
This was AWESOME! Now I'm thinking of buying two of these bikes!
That's wonderful, they have come out with the new models that are still foldable but lighter. We checked the measurements and the 3.0 will still fit in this bin. Get out and ride. Thanks for watching.
I have the new XP Lite. I did this using a Husky brand 45 gallon bin that I got from Home Depot. Very similar to the craftsman. Its much easier to move the bike around when folded up in the bin. Was a perfect fit. Thanks for the great idea.
Very cool! so glad it helped . Thank you for watching and your support
This weekend we did this DIY project exactly as you explained and both bins turned out excellent!! We too have a Honda CRV and two Lectric bikes and that's why we followed your suggestion. Thank you! Thank you!
That is awesome! so glad it worked out for you thank you so much for watching we appreciate the support
😭😭😭 these are tears of joy. Thank you all so much for creating this video. I've been trying to figure it out for the longest time. I was going haul a bike around. I hear these bikes are terribly heavy
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching and for your support . these bikes are about 65 lbs and can be a bit awkward to move around but the bin helps so much
What a smart idea you came up with. Thank you for showing.
Thanks we appreciate the nice comments. Enjoy your bikes.
Exactly the information I was looking for. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching
I just picked the bin up from Lowe's! It's perfect! Thanks so much for sharing your solution!
So glad, I hope it works great for you too. Appreciate you stopping by.
Great video and timely for me. Will pick up my bikes in a few weeks and did not want to get a bike rack, we full time RV as well. You may have just given me the direction I needed. Thank you both.
Glad it was helpful! thank you so much for watching and your support
This is a great video. I'm modifying a 50 Gallon Craftsman tote from Lowes now so I can store my new XP for the winter. Thanks for sharing your experience and advice.
Thank you we appreciate your support . Hope the bin works as well for you as they have for us
Thank you. Really like the modifications made to the lid!
Thanks, still holding up today. We appreciate you watching.
Appreciate the very practical and useful demonstration, thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching
Going to buy two 50 gallon containers right now. Glad I seen this video first. Thank you
Hope it worked out for you, appreciate you checking out the video
Best idea ever. Works perfectly! Thank you.
Glad it worked for you thank you for watching and your support
Thanks for sharing this video!
Our pleasure! Thank you very much for watching we appreciate your support
Hey there, just finished watching your video on electric bicycles and I must say, it was really informative! As an avid e-bike user, I was thrilled to stumble upon a new crowdfunding project called Freebeat Morph 2-in-1 e-Bike. The fact that it can be charged indoors is a game-changer and something I've never seen before. The Morph e-Bike's brushless 750W motor and impressive torque definitely caught my attention. I'm excited to see how it performs on various terrains with its front suspension and puncture-resistant tires. The Smart Saddle Detection+ feature is also intriguing, combining fitness and technology seamlessly. Count me in for supporting this project! Can't wait to experience the Morph e-Bike firsthand.
Good luck with this project. Thanks for stopping by
I saw another UA-cam video using a similar method of packing up a folding eBike.
What they did to get the bin into the car was to use a dog ramp to slide the bin up into the car rather than have to lift it.
The dog ramp slid open to twice its length, and one person could push the bin up the ramp and into the car.
They said they got the dog ramp on Amazon...
Yes, many have shared that hack, that's how my sister gets her recumbent bike pinto her SUV also. Thanks for watching
Great video ! You answered my questions of getting a folding e bike.
Love the Allegany State Park shirt. I’m from Western New York originally and
The Park is one of my favorite places on earth.
Glad it helped. We spend a lot of time at Allegany. We volunteer now with their CAPS (campers assistance program). It is an awesome park with tons to do. It's nice to see them spending some money and adding new things too. Thanks for watching, we appreciate it.
Easy peasy! Very good and useful information!! 👍
thank you for watching and your support we appreciate you
That was a great idea. we have 2 bikes and that's what we're going to do. thank you
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching and your support
Genius!
Thank you very much for watching and your support we appreciate you
Awesomeeee!!! I have been searching for a solution! Thanks!!
You are welcome! Thank you for watching and your comment we appreciate your support
I havent bought one yet, but this video just gave me the best idea on transport on the back of my RV! Thank you!
Glad this helps with your plans Thank you for watching
👍
Well done on the Craftsman Tubs!
thank you very much for watching and the comment we appreciate your support
Excellent video!! I’m picking up a pair of bins tomorrow!
I hope it went well, enjoy your bikes!
I use bins similar to those. I picked up a couple Velcro straps to help hold the bikes in the folded position when lifting in and out of the bins.
we were trying ti figure out what to get to keep the bikes from un folding great Ideo where did you get the straps
@@FullTimeDreamRV Canadian Tire store. They are 18” long and one inch wide. I were to buy again I’d go longer than the 18” so they could go around the frame. Right now I just run them thru the u frame under the seat and the fork of the front wheel.
Great job with the video with detail. Thanks
Thanks for watching! and for your support we appreciate you
Nice job on the cutting and fitting.
Thank you for watching and the compliment we appreciate your support
Thanks, nice video! We have 2 Rad Mini 2 folding bikes and use the same bins to transport them. To reduce the weight of the bikes, we remove the Batteries, this same around 8 Lbs per bike or 12%. At 72 years old this 8 Lbs seems like 20. As you pointed out this method keeps the Bikes dry and improves security. We plan on covering our so they can't be seen from the outside. BTW, we added our Bikes to our Insurance Co and registered them on the EBike Register Index!
Thank you so much for watching and for your comment we have written down the serial numbers and are in the process of doing the same . we have a moving blanket that we put over the bikes inside the car that and with the tint on back windows they would need to break into the car to know what's in the back
Did you add your bikes to your homeowners insurance or auto insurance?
@@Nolasusan1 It the same company, but I think they are actually under the House Ins.
This is soooooo awesome! Thank you guys for this video, i just ordered my bike so this will come in handy
Good to hear your bike is on the way and this video helped you Thank you for watching
Thanks for a great demonstration. Still waiting for my bike so I'll have a head start.
I am sure when you get your bike you will enjoy it . Thank you so much for watching and for your support
Jice job. We are hoping that my new purchase lives up to your review. Thanks
We are so happy with our bikes We hope you enjoy yours as much . Thank you for watching we appreciate your support
Awesome ! great job, We will definitely use your idea, thanks.

Thank you, we appreciate you watching.
What a great idea. That worked out perfectly.
We are very happy how they turned out . I spent a long time in the store with a tape measure trying to pick the Bins that were perfect for what we were trying to do. thank you vey much for checking it out and your comment we appreciate your support
Great idea brother enjoy your bikes stay safe God bless

Very helpful. Just picked up my Craftsman 50 gal and zip ties today. Heading to Florida in 3 days. Thanks!
Glad to hear that. Safe travels.
This is great. I just completed ours. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful! thank you so much for watching and for your support
I've saw this done by other people, but I like how you used a bigger tote. The only suggestion I would add is to anchor your tubs in your car in case you have to make an emergency stop or (God forbid) a front end collision.
Great safety suggestion . We are still trying to figure out an anchor system that works in the car. We are getting awesome suggestions like this one and appreciate you watching and commenting . Do you have ebikes also?
Genius! Thank you for sharing !
Thank you for watching and for your support we Appreciate you
May try it....thanks!
thank you for watching we have had no problems with them and hope it works for you
I bought two craftsman 50gal and I'm gonna try this for my two Lectric xp 2.0 bikes. Thanks for the video howto
I hope this works as well for you as it did for us . Thank you for watching and your support we appreciate you
Thank-you...nice job...shopping for our containers today.😂
That's great, enjoy your bikes!! Thanks for watching
Excellent and smart idea. Good job!
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch our video and for the compliment we appreciate your support

Thank you very much! We appreciate you watching and for your support
Great solution! Many thanks

Clever idea with the excess top cut adding it to the bottom 👍
Thanks 👍 thought it was better then just throwing it away thank you for watching and for your support
PERFECT !!!!! Thank you brother……I’m doing the exact same thing, now that you posted this

Thanks, we appreciate you!
Great job!!! Thanks for video. Heading to Lowes this morning!!!

Thank you so much for taking time to do this video. As soon as I watched it I knew this was the absolute best way. I did exactly what you said and did and everything worked out perfectly. Appreciate it!
Glad it helped! Thank you for watching and for your comment we appreciate your support
Helpful, thank you - we have a XP 1.0 and an Xp Lite, this is perfect for the 1.0. I like how it drops in there like that, much better than having the battery exposed to potentially being damaged like you said
Glad it helped! Thank you for watching and your support we appreciate you
Great! Idea! Thanks.
We appreciate you watching, Thanks
Nice set up my friend! 😉
They turned out great thanks for watching and commenting
What a great idea! That works wonderful!
Thank you it isn't often that my plans work out as well as this . thank you for watching and for the comment . your support means so much to us
Thank you for the great video
thank you very much for watching and for your support we appreciate you
Thank you, finally a realistic guy doing a video like this instead of a 20 something weight lifter holding the bike up and just placing it in. As a senior I now know its possible for my husband and I.
Thanks for the nice words. We always try to be real and do honest reviews of everything we do. We still love our bikes! Thanks for watching.
Great idea! We have a bike rack that we carry hours on right now, but if we ever get a tow car it will no longer work. Thanks for sharing. Lynn and Danny
Thanks for watching This is what works for us right now everyone's needs may differ a bit we adjusted from what others where doing with their bikes
재밌는 영상 잘보고 구독하고 갑니다.
thank you
Thanks so much for sharing this! I am moving to an apartment and will no longer have a garage to store my folding Lectric bike. I'm looking to trade my Camry for a CRV or Rav4 so I can store the bike in the back of my car. The idea of placing it in a bin is fabulous! I would add that I am also looking at a folding portable ramp to get the bike in and out of the back instead of lifting it. The portable ramps weigh only 20 lbs and can be easily stored in the back with the bike. Btw, I'm a former NY'er (Syracuse). We NY'ers figure things out and get it done!!
That awesome, pet ramps are a great solution so you don’t have to lift the bike. One of the lucky NYers that made it out😅 Thanks for checking out the video.
@@FullTimeDreamRV Actually, I decided to get a folding wheelchair ramp instead. They also weigh about 20 lbs and are wider than the pet ramps. The pet ramps are a few inches too narrow for the 45-gallon bin.
Nice video. Informative
Thanks appreciate the feedback
Very smart idea, Thank you very much.
You are welcome! Thank you for watching and the compliment. we appreciate your support
Thanks for the tips buddy
thank you for watching and for your support glad it helps
Hi, thanks for the video. We have 2 step thru Lectric e bikes, and this looks like the way to go, for transport. Enjoy your travels, stay safe and healthy. Happy holidays to the 2 of you, too. Dave
We hope your holidays are filled with Love and Joy as well let us know how these work for you
Perfect. Thank you
thank you for watching and for your support we appreciate you
Watching this thank u for sharing.
Thanks for watching hope you are doing well
Excellent!
Thanks
thank you for watching and for your support we appreciate it
Very innovative, guys.
Thank you . It was a project that took a long time figuring and a short time doing but very happy with how it turned out . Thanks for watching and commenting
I like those bins with handle and wheels.
They have worked great for us thank you for watching
fyi I looked at 5-6 other videos on 50 gallon totes . Your was the best. Even those that used the craftsman tote were lazy and didnt got the extra step in cutting the top out..
Thank you for the compliment . we appreciate your support
*Very helpful!*
Glad it was helpful! Thank you so much for watching and your support we appreciate you
this is a great video thank you hope my husband and i can lift it wwe are in our 60's
Some people will use a pet ramp to roll it up and then put ramp on top. It’s not bad with two people though.
I love this I will be doing the same thing for my bikes thanks for the idea
Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment we appreciate your support . we hope this works as well for you as for us
Thnx!
Thank you for stopping and watching!
Im getting my lectric ebike, May 16th (according to FED EX) but I'm gonna do my own review, BUT I super APPRECIATE YOU doing this with ur time, it helps
We hope you have no problems with shipping and you enjoy your bike as much as we do . Will be watching for your review . Thank you for watching and your support
Nice Job!
This is the most helpful video I found. Now I can load my bike into my Promaster by myself. I tip the cart on end and roll the bike in with a tiny lift it is done.
Big thanks for helping all of us figure this out.
we appreciate your support and hope you enjoy your bike
Thanks so much. What a fantastic idea.
You are more then welcome . Thank you for taking the time to watch and comment . Are you happy with your Bike ?
Hello from Minnesota. Cool setup.
The Bins worked out great for what we need . thanks as always for your support
Great Video!!!
Thanks for the visit we appreciate your support
Thank you! great video
Glad it helped! we appreciate you watching and your support
Having the bikes completely protected from the weather while rv-ing is much better than on the back
We agree totally the bikes are a big investment and need to be protected
Especially if you are alone. Take that heavy battery out of the bike before lifting 👍👍
Great tip!
Thank you ! I intend to buy the 50 gallon ! Was a toss up between 50 g or the 64 g but you showed that the 50 g works as well ! Ride safe ! Ty!
thank you so much for watching we hope this works as well for you as us
Great video you both made. Thank you for doing this now I'm going to purchase two bins from Lowe's. We have two Lectric 2.0 step-threw.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching and your support
Good job! I was just about to get a tote, I like the 50 gal. Craftsman for durability.
we have been using them now for 3 months without issue and they have made life easier Thank you for watching and your support we appreciate you
Nice work on the bins. Have you considered a ramp? Prime has some nice plastic ramps that fold up, then you can just wheel up the bins into your CRV.
So far we have only loaded by hand but will be looking into the ramps thank you for the suggestion and for your support we appreciate you
Great idea
Thank you so much and we appreciate your support
