As per the title really ... is it possible to get a bike in the back of a Qubo (or a Nemo, come to that) without dropping all back seats? I can't seem to find a definitive answer, so if anyone has one I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks chaps.
I have a Qubo and the only way I can get my road bike into it is to take out the single removeable back seat behind the driver and also remove the front wheel of the bike. That way I can then stick the bike in rear wheel first with the handle bar pointing toward the rear window. This still leaves the double rear seat in place. You do need to slide the back wheel a little bit between the side of the drivers seat and the B pillar.
I did once post a picture on here on a similar thread. With that arrangement I was able to transport my ageing father, even older spaniel and my bike along with a weeks luggage for us all.
Never tried fitting anything in with flat bars but I'm sure its possible.
Should be a pic on here if you scroll down:

I had a nemo and same as above, had to take the single rear seat out. Could fit road bike or medium sized bossnut in wheels on.
I miss that car. Don't miss the the semi auto gearbox though.
Thank you chaps, that's really very much appreciated. I'll only really need to put one bike in regularly, but I'll put a tow bar on to carry a rack if I need more. It'll also be used for the usual camping holidays, karting kit around type of thing.
Have you found yours reliable?
my neighbour loves his but the bikes go on his roof .
HE said only thing he would do next time is buy the 1.3 diesel as the 1.4 petrol is ludicrously slow on the uphill entry to the dual carridgeway when you leave our village.
If you were going to buy one I would certainly recommend the diesel if you have any desire to avoid third gear on long hills. I have the 1.4 petrol and whilst I'm happy with it the car ain't the fastest I've ever owned. That said I've had it since 2012 so it can't be too bad.
Yep, fairly reliable. The front suspension mounts are a well known weak point however and the paint chips off more easily than the shell on a hard boiled egg.
