Just hoping someone could point me in the direction of a decent LARGE bike cover that would encompass my two e-bikes.
As you can see from my photo my old Fiamma cover does not quite make it on the Thule rack.
TIA

A cover a car bike rack is not really advised.. it will cause a lot of wind resistance and if not made with really heavy material it will eventually rip .. also blocks the rear view ..

I had the same rack with two e-bikes and never used a cover for these reasons.. but its your choice

Sorry I should have said that I need the cover for the motorhome not the car shown in the picture . I’m also thinking about a cover for security reasons.

Iv got a Hinderman bike cover for my two electric bikes.
Well big enough and strong material with a built in pocket
for the reflective square you need for Spain.

We bought a team obsidian extra large from Amazon for our 2 bikes on the back of the motorhome. We went to Scotland last September and suffered 60mph winds out in the open thinking the van would tip over and the bike cover was solid. We travelled about 1500 miles in total and the cover was as good as new.
 
We have one from bags4everything.Been brilliant and I think they still do taylor made versions. Ours has a slightly rubbery inner face so waterproof
 
This is the one we use for our towball-mount Thule rack. Very good quality with plenty of fastenings. If you opt for the clear pocket don't get the optional plastic stripes sign if you plan on going to Spain or Italy. Buy the reflective aluminium sign elsewhere if you need to.

They do the slightly smaller standard size so it's a matter of what best suits your bikes.
 
Another vote for Taylormade. We have used it on the MH and at home for 5 years. Faded by the sun but otherwise in great condition. Comfortable fit for two eBikes.
 
Hindermann e-bike cover. Tough as old boots.

I'm using a cover from Taylor Made which I got at one of the shows. Seems solid and durable with generous sizing and a fair bit of adjustment straps.

Make that 3 for TaylorMade- various sizes available - quick turn round - pocket for reflector board - very secure.
 
I'm looking for a bike cover too! A heavy duty one which will fit two mountain bikes on a rack offset on the right hand side of double opening doors at the back of a campervan. Any ideas? I've looked at the ones mentioned so far: Taylormade don't do them, Hindermann's seem to be the same type too. And Fiamma don't get very good reviews, being too flimsy.

Used these guys for 2 custom made covers.Excellent quality and good fit.They will tell you what to measure and post you one out.I was passing nearby on the last occasion with my bike on the rack and they measured up and made me one while I went for breakfast. Not saying they always do this but a great quality product,good price and nice people.

Ah, will have a look there. Thanks
 
Have you thought about buying a motorbike cover? Oxford do a decent quality one and the material may be more robust than Fiamma’s offering. One motorbike cover may suit two bicycles size wise.
 
Oxford do bike covers, (probably in different sizes too?)

I use one to cover our two bikes. The material is really thin, but it’s been robust and folds up small for stowage.

I usually put several bungees around the cover to stop billowing, and that probably extends its useful life too.
 
Depends on how much you want to pay .
And make sure you ordervfor 2 bikes and the correct fittings.
You can get them made to measure
 
I've got a Kampa one.... they don't make them now but there are similar one's out there. The material is thicker than Fiamma etc and heavier plus the added bonus of a pouch for a warning board. Like I say they don't make them now and the nearest is..... although the bungees are a bit more basic than mine..... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09WYNLVP1/?tag=mhf04-21

If you order from Taylor made (Very good quality) make sure you do specify it is for e-bikes
