We have ordered a Auto Sleeper Broadway and need a bike rack for 2 small electric bikes, has anyone got a Broadway with a bike rack if so what make and model is it and how low is the platform/ rails from the ground ?
One company said Thule do one but couldn't tell me how high platform / rails were for me to lift bikes . A rack that lowers down very low is about £750!! Where as standard one is £325

Get a tow bar fitted.

That way you can have a wide choice of bike racks.
If you want a heavyweight rack that lowers to the ground (similar to a towbar mounted motorcycle rack) then they don't come cheap.

However when it comes to racks, Thule are the brand to look for.

I would not get a 'standard' high mounted bike rack fitted. They are OK for bikes, as long as you can lift a bike over your head. They are not suitable for E-Bikes, due to the weight.

I recently had a towbar fitted to my PVC and then bought a hardly used second hand Atera Strada DL3 rack - towbar fitting £420.00, rack cost £240.00. Depending on how heavy your E bikes are this is potentially an option for you as I believe the rack is recommended up to 60kg. Thule are a bit better but I’m quite impressed with the Atera Strada.
