Anyone fit a Honda Grom or Navi in the back of a FiST?

Just wondering if it'll fit. Was thinking a grom might fit in the back hatch if I flip the seats down and rotate the bars backwards. The Grom is EFI so would probably be happy for a bit but the Navi would probably barf gas.

Someone owes me and has a couple of groms and a navi, said I can have one if I want. Where I live is ok to ride, but to go anywhere else I pretty much *have* to take the freeway.

Ooh, maybe I could get 2 navis and a small trailer for 'em so my wife and i can go dink around on them!

Bought my son a yamaha pw50 and it wouldn't even stand upright in the back of the FiST.

Wheelbase is 50.6" and seat height 30" on the Navi. So it should go in tipped over. Grom has a 3" shorter wheelbase and same seat height. If it has mirrors on the handlebars you might have to take them off.

Gas leaking will be a real concern. Best to drain the tank, run the carb dry. And tip it over on the ground to be sure. But still cover the drain tubes.

Ok my new mission is going to be finding a small trailer with 2 groms. She saw it and decided she needs one now too haha.

I haven't been able to ride in about 10 years due to arm issues, but the grom's clutch pull is so light that its not that bad, and since its not highway legal it kinda makes sure I *can't* overdo it.

Ahahaha! I got the grom in trade and its amazing! I've owned lots of bikes, but haven't been able to ride for quite some time. This is such a silly little toy I definitely need to get my wife on one. I didn't have a way to put it in the FiST so I had to plan an all surface street path at below 45mph speed limits to get it where it needed to go. My first experience on this tiny thing was a 5 hour ride but I now own the most ridiculously fun motorcycle I have ever thrown a leg over. It's fun in all the silly little ways the FiST (or moreso my abarth) is.

Not a Grom or Navi, but older 1972 Honda ST-90.
I actually got two of these into my 2011 Fiesta SEL.

I would think it better to cut just behind the front seats.
This way the bed could be more extended to make more like a Ranchero.

Wow, yall have me thinking bad thoughts. I ride my minibikes at the kart track. My grom is cheap and i don’t feel burdened with remorse at the dumb things I subject it to. I very routinely lay the bike on its side on the ground to change tires or the ocassional clutch. I have been very surprised the tank has no sploshed fuel on the floor in my garage. However I don’t think I will try transporting it in the back of my FiST.
however I do have a Greenger G3s electric supermoto minibike I ride at the track. No fuel to tend to. It is about 30 lbs lighter than the grom and incrementally smaller. Also the 35 lb batter pops out which means I would only have to heave 130 lbs of bike in the back of the FiST. The battery can sit elsewhere on the floor. This may have potential. If it’s doable, I’ll put a quick short on youtube. Thanks for the idea. My FiST gets much better gas mileage than my TACO…

The Honda motocompacto fits under the floor on top of the spare tire. I used to use mine to run to lunch when I worked in the city.
