Hello all I am looking for a bike rack which is capable of carrying 2 e bikes 23kg each bike with batteries on so will be a little lighter when batteries are removed
Do not want to go down the tow bar route for various reasons.
Any suggestions on which rack and good fitters would be appreciated.

Fiamma Carry Bike Pro Hymer

This is a special model of the Fiamma Carry Bike Pro(in a blue version), which is suitable for Hymer motorhomes with preinstalled upper fixing brackets.

The weight is 8.2kg and it can carry a maximum of 60kg.

It comes ready to carry two bikes but with additional accessories it can hold a maximum of four.

Ask Peter.

It takes 60kg
The Hymer one is a hell of a long way to lift heavy bikes up to

If you look at my fitting guide for Rapido you'll see I ignored Rapidos fixing points deliberately because they are flippin idiots.
This is what they would have :eek:

I fitted mine 3 yrs ago so it is the old model. The latest model is clearly a better design.


A fitting guide I did for general info

I am a carpenter by trade having looked at your fitting I am tempted to have a go myself it's just drilling the back wall that's a bit daunting I suppose I could by the rack and then make up my mind after having a look at what's involved.
Great job by the way it seems a bit silly of Rapids to put the upper fixing points off centre any ideas why

I don't think there is any drilling on yours, it should fit your upper fixings. Have you got lower fixing points?

So there's room for a ladder on the left that no one bothers with.

BTW Fiamma store price is £479 for 2 ebikes

No rail on bottom just two fixing points on the top
It's a hymer tramp 554 cl
I think the bottom ones will need drilling

but johns cross give 10% discount
Something to work on as Peter only said over £500 which could be £579 like other sellers.

Johns cross is only listing the cheaper bike lift 77 not the e bike lift 77

EDIT Sorry Peters link says £527 less 10 % (y)

Sorry Andy if I am sounding a bit thick are you saying the bottom does not need drilling
No but its easy once you hang it on the top hangers. Whats on the inside at low level? the rack is adjustable for length

Small garage about 2/3 the way across so fixing points should go into garage area I will have to check in the day light

Looking at the video that should be OK on the other hand HYMER may have put fixing points within the wall to drill into Hymer should be able to tell you.
