Any recomendations for a folding bike that would fit in the aft baggage area of an RV-4?

The Brompton looks like it might do, but they are quite expensive.

Van's promote Bike Friday but make no reference to fitting in a -4.

Does anyone have any succesful experience?

I have an -8heh. I believe the rear seat back on it is the same size
as an RV-4. By removing the the seat back and the bottom cushion,
(rear stick too), I can get my Dahon in easily. The tires go in the baggage
compartment and the bottom of the seat post is on the seat pan. The
seat belts hold the bike down and pin the tires against the forward
baggage shelf bulkhead. Sorry, don't have a picture. Should work
in a -4. Here is a link to my model Dahon (Mu P8)

Mine is a 2009....no girly fenders

Here is a pic with the bike in my eight. Might even be easier to get in a -4 with the hinged canopy. I have to manuever the bike around the slider.
