Default eBike in frunk???

Hey boys and girls, I've been trying to find a small folding electric bicycle that can fit in the frunk of my 991 and couldn't. I don't need a lot of range or speed as the bike will be used to putt around the beach or at track events. I know there are other scooter or sagways that can fit but I want to exhaust my folding ebike options first. Would like to stay under $1000 though. Currently I have a Jetson Bolt Pro from Costco that costs only $300 and love this thing can take it anywhere as long as I'm not taking the Porsche.

How about a Sea Sucker bike rack and take any bike you like?

My Segway scooter won’t fit in frunk. Would fit behind seats no problem.

Related to this thread, I have a Segway brand scooter (ES1) and find it has difficulty on gravel at different venue's so I'm looking for something with bigger tires.
I did see that Jetson at Costco, but was not sure how it was. I'm also looking at the Segway Max scooter with 10"Pneumatic tires rather than the 8" solids on the ES1.
I have a truck and trailer so no frunk issues.

Any other recommendations are appreciated. This year I'm probably just going to bring an old mountain bike.

If I take the RS with my wife to an autox for example, it's not too easily to put stuff behind the front seats with the fixed back buckets, so the frunk is my only area for storage. If I go to the beach, then I will be taking my truck, but thought it'd be neat if I can get an ebike or at the very least an e-scooter into the frunk. No I'm not interested in hooverboards.

I ended up with a $200 Swagtron 8 Scooter which is capable of going up to 15 MPH and it does fit in the frunk.

If you end up deciding on a seasucker, I'll ship you mine for cheap (Seasucker Talon, latest model). Used about 5 times, works insanely well. Kind of freaky the first time you use it, but it's not coming off. I had the bike in my profile pic (Yeti SB150) on it but now have a truck so don't need it anymore.

Hi, I'm going to use the cycle-to-work scheme with a total budget of about £1,500 to buy a new bike and can't decide between a Brompton folding bike and an e-bike (non folding) Any thoughts on which I should go for? It will be used for urban and suburban town and city cycling - around 5 miles - with some short sharp hills that I find get steeper each time I cycle them at the moment! Thanks,

Default The ebike is the pickleball of motorcycles

Why not buy a pocket racer ?
