I'll take out a bank loan 2017 Specialized Turbo Levo HT 29 ? Bike SocietyThey're good fun the electric bikes, a mate of mine has a US import one that more resembles a motor cross bike, weighs a ton but the 2400w motor pushes 80kph, not cheap though as they start at 8k new.
hey dazz , got it for $4,000, retail @ $6,000 but girl's at the shop would give ( I mean sell lol ) me a new 2018 model $5,000, I thought $4,000 was enough. my mate payed $5,500 for his few months back and this one higher spec model. he loves his and rides every week now.

I reckon it would nearly fit in the back of the SR with seats folded down! Wouldn't want to be taking the wheels off to do it though. Maybe next year once the finances recover from car upgrade and all my trips!
going on a 30k rough single dirt track, big hill's ride today.also looks like I sold my old trek mountain bike, to a new member of the group, first day I mentioned to the group leader. I have a buyer. so happy as a good guy, and he had a not so good bike to ride, I payed $1,100 five year back now same model is $2,000. I put a lot of track under that bike loved every minute, the mountain bikes suit me as the country we ride in.also the 40k ride Monday was a beauty some real rough down hill sections with just as rough up hill sections the fat rear tyre had good traction up hill good ride damping. then a 5 k tarmac run to the cafe with my good m8 on another bike like mine just Dif size wheels & tyres, he also had fitted 4 extra tooth crank Sproket so I was flat out after him we had no electric help unless speed went below 25kph we were over the help speed for the five k so good work out. bigger frank Sproket soon for me too.
Dazz, that's a bummer I cant fit my bike in the back of the car either had to get a friend to bring it over from the other house.

Re bike in car,.Are you putting in with frony wheel flat?If so, try putting in with front wheel turned up so wheel up in air sort of.
dazz, if you can fit a tow bar, a quick detach bike rack is a good option as no need to remove wheel & can remove rack quick to put in back of car to allow rear hatch to open. I used one with my first fd but have sold it.
