Hi folks

I'm new here...currently an SR22T pilot, looking to upgrade to a P100 or M2. I'm a cyclist and want to be able to travel with two full sized road bikes (ideally without taking off the tires). I'm curious if anyone has experience doing so? And any pictures to show how easy or hard it is?

Thanks!

I've put road bikes and mountain bikes in the Phenom 300, with some luggage, simply by removing the front wheels. Depending on the size of your bike, it may do it no problem without removing the front wheel. It's a pretty good sized door and a huge cargo space. If you can't remove front tires, you're looking at something like the Vision Jet or PC12 or 24.

Thanks (Username Protected)!

Do you know if the cargo area of the 300 and 100 are similar?

And are you able to do two bikes and luggage?

Not in the 100. It is significantly smaller. Same with the M2.

Thanks! Think I could get one in there?

I had a 100 for many years and traveled with two Mt bikes in the luggage area. You just need to take both wheels off. No big deal.

Awesome (Username Protected). Can you get away with only taking the front tire off?

[Username Protected]

no, especially if you want to put two of them in.

the 300 baggage is much larger. I haven't tried it( I now have a 300), but you could probably get a whole bike in with both wheels on.

I own a Phenom 300. One or two bikes with front wheels off fits easy. With 2 bikes in baggage compartment still pace for some bags and the engine covers i often fly that way. Just get the engine covers in first at the front then the bikes( one can use one engine cover between bikes). Always load the bikes rear wheel 1st then place the detached front wheels vertical against the sides and then space for bags next to the baggage door

First question, why is it a big issue to remove one or both wheels? Just curious. I know you would rather not, but way easier to do that than trying to contort your bicycles in and out of the airplanes, beating up entry doors, luggage compartment doors, etc.
I currently own both airplanes (Phenom 100ev and M2 Gen2). The 100 has a bigger rear baggage door and storage area. It’s definitely the bigger of the two in that area but both airplanes are more than capable to put the bikes in if you remove one or both wheels. I’m super OCD, so the thought of trying to cram a couple of bicycles in and out of the airplanes full assembled is not worth it to me. You would definitely be better off in the PC12 or even the slower Caravan for that matter. Not sure if the distances you are flying, but one of the airplanes I owned that I miss the most is a Grand Caravan EX.

Removing the wheels takes time and also often messes up the brakes… so I’d rather go for a bigger plane if I can. Agreed on not putting them inside the cabin
I’ve been looking at the pc-12, good option

Thanks!

At Maya Air we had many owners that requested the Phenom 100 due to the fact that their bikes fit well in the baggage compartment.

It's hard to separate the Telluride people from their bikes.

The Phenom 100 and 300 are excellent for bicycles!
