Thanks but the regulations i'm looking at read differently.
Bicycles and tandems
You can take a (foldable) bicycle or tandem (non-electric) of max. 23 kg (including the bike box) with you for a fee, provided that it is packed in a box, container or bag that is specifically designed for bike transportation. The maximum dimensions for this bike box are 176.5 x 23.0 x 101.5 cm (69 x 9 x 40 in). The best way to protect your bike is by using a hardcover casing. However, a softcover casing is also allowed if it includes an internal protective packing material.- The handlebars should be turned lengthways along the frame, pedals and other protruding parts should be removed, and tire pressures should be reduced.
- Special KLM bike boxes are available at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol for EUR 20 each. They are within the maximum dimensions. The KLM bike box weighs 4.5 kg / 10 lbs.
- Please note: due to international regulations you cannot take an e-bike or electric bicycle with you.
- Reserve the transport of your bicycle or tandem as early as possible and no later than 48 hours before departure online in My Trip or by calling the KLM Customer Contact Centre. You’ll need to provide the dimensions and weight of your bike and bike box when reserving the transport via telephone.
