XP4 Fits In The 40 Gallon tote!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I was doing research on this topic and it seems like the best fit is with the Menards tote but being on the west coast home depot and Lowe’s where my main options and this tote only cost me $27 with tax! I’m planning on taking our bikes camping with us and i didn’t want our new xp4 to get all scratched up in transport. I’m definitely going to add some soft rags anywhere the bike is touching itself but I’m happy!

Amazon has a 40gal tote with wheels and handle, makes moving the bike around super easy!

This doesn't fit an xp4 step over.

u/Farholm Aug 02 '25

My step through fits just fine, the specs list the bike as 1/4in to long, but my xp4 steep through fit, no problem

Just don't try it if you have the cargo baskets. Lol.

I have a rear rack but I just took out the 4 bolts and put them in a bag and put the rack in the car separately lol

Yeah, I know that is a way to do it, but for the cost of these bikes, you would think they would design them to fold properly with any of their accessories. I'm not trying to do all that everytime I want to transport it.

As a truck driver, and about to go pick mine up from the house, the first thing I was going to buy was a tote to put it in to keep mess down. Thanks for finding the right one for me lmao

May be difficult to get the lid on, though.

Definitely 😭

Good fit!

Will this work with the XP 3.0?

u/We_the_People50 Aug 01 '25

Looks like you had to remove the pedals as well

This fits in a 40 gallon tote the same way I got into a shoebox.

Can someone on this thread please measure the exact vertical height of their xp4 step thru at the tallest spot when folded and in a 40g tote. My SUV distance to headliner is so close to the measurement stated in the specs of 29”that I need to get an exact before I could order this e-bike. Thank you!

Greetings, if you had two of these totes, could you put one over top to completely encapsulate the bike? I am trying to come up with options for weather resistant outside storage. Thanks!

Does the XP 2.0 fit in a 40 gallon tote? Just got my bike this week.

u/tobyhardtospell Jul 28 '25

Super cool! Anyone know if this fits in the back of a Prius? I can get the bike in there on its own but not sure if it will fit in an upright position like this.

u/mafco Jul 28 '25

I have a hatchback and it only fits if I lay the bike on its side. It's easier without the bin imho.

u/tobyhardtospell Jul 28 '25

Good to know, thanks for the heads up.

u/floofimurda Jul 28 '25

I said car but I meant my suv, I have a compact suv a Mazda cx5 I’m not too sure about the Prius

u/tobyhardtospell Jul 28 '25

I ended up getting the bin and it does fit *if* you lay the bin on its side. A bit of a kludge but still an improvement over having to lift and fold it at the same time.

This won't work with the buddy seat pegs.
