I can fit our Rumba with the front wheel removed by backing the rear wheel in between the second row seats. The rear seat is not the problem; the handlebars are too high. My main concern is the...

Thanks, Artmo. But...220 views, and only one response! I assumed there were a few people who transported their e-tandems in minivans, but it looks like I'm in uncharted territory. I'll have to see...

Does anyone transport their e-tandem in a minivan?

Do you know if you can leave one of the second-row captain's chairs upright and still fit the tandem? We'd like to take a third person and her single bike bike along, too.

Does a tandem fit into newer Toyota Sienna?

As per the title, does anyone here own a newer hybrid Sienna? They are supposedly a bit smaller inside. I know tandems fit the previous models just fine (with the front wheel removed).
