I have a Bailey Approach Autograph 745 and recently bought a couple of A S electric bikes (one small 20" wheels, one 26"). We rather naively thought they would fold up a bit smaller than they really do, and that they would fit in our large under bed locker. Well they do fit but with microns to spare, and leave no room for anything else!
How do you guys carry your e-bikes? They seem a bit heavy for a bike rack, although the specific Fiamma rack for a Bailey is rated at 60kg I think, so should carry both. It just doesn't seem right to strap two heavy (40kg in total) lumps on the back hanging in mid air. We could just about fit one under the bed and put the biggest on a rack, but are there any better solutions? I know I could fit a towbar and a proprietary bike/scooter carrier but would that be overkill? The other alternative is to buy a new van with a large garage, but our Bailey is only a few months old and we love it, as well as having loaded it with kit since we got it. We would lose a fortune!
