Hmm can I pull a TW200 apart enough to fit in a Prius

[Ozrockrat]

OK I need to pickup a TW200 from LA next week and I will have a rental Prius. Do you think that it will fit if I pull the forks and rear wheel plus turn the handle bars??? Anyone have a spare bodybag to put it in :sombrero:

I have never seen the inside of a Prius, so I can't really help. But, I think it could be done like you said. Do the back seats fold down?

Well I don't have any information that could help you. But it seems to me that you are now obligated to provide photographic evidence of this if you manage to pull it off.

And as someone that has ridden a TW from San Diego to San Bernardino on So.Cal freeways, I would have rather tried the Prius route.

Last edit, if you need any measurements of a TW let me know.

Measurements hmmm that might be a good idea.

Let me dig up a photo and scribble down where to measure.

Thanks

Open trunk, install front wheel and tow away!

Stage 1 get the CT90 in to take to LA

OK I didn't get a Prius but ended up with a CMax (Ford Hybrid) instead.

And the Honda does fit without even taking the wheels off.

Almost as fun as my rear land rover axle in the back of a Honda accord.

thats funny! I hauled my KLR650 in the back of my disco once. well maybe just the front half and the rest hanging out the rear.

Ok the answer is YES. We removed the forks, plastics and rear subframe. It would of fit with all the plastic and subframe but they are NOS 2012 ones I didn't want to scratch up.

Now to get it running and build a fold up sidecar.

Actually a rental was the intelligent choice (cowardly choice). If I tried this with the missus's car I would be hung drawn and quarter and have my husband benefits cut off for at least a year.

All oils etc drained. One fuel tank had never had fuel and the other we drained, flushed multiple times and air dried. Now I have to drive very carefully home as I do not have a full net over the little bits.
