I am in the process of putting together the bits to flat tow the Canyon and for now I will just carry the bike in the bed of the truck. The wife has not committed to wanting to buy an e-bike for her to ride so for now this should suffice. If we get her a bike I will buy a rack to go on either...
I have a 2020 Freedom Express Ultralite 196RBS. I want to mount a bike rack (two bikes) on the 4x4 bumper. I understand the standard stock bumper is not constructed to handle anything being mounted on it. So I am planning to purchase a stronger bumper and having it installed along with extra...
Thanks for your reply! I had a 4 x 2 piece of angle iron welded to the underside length of the bumper and welded to to the I beams. Solid as a rock with no worries.
Thanks for the report on the Lectric XL Lite, 10thtp. I’ve been looking at that bike for a couple months trying to decide whether to pull the trigger on it. Please post updates, when appropriate.
And thanks to you, Inerstate, on the info on the dirt bike carrier from Harbor Freight. My wife...
My bike is a Dyna Street Bob. No bags, no cowling, just a basic down and dirty six speed with a 103. Weighs about 700 pounds. Traveled up and down the east coast and regularly through the mountains of West Virginia. To take it with me on the coach, I would put it on a rack with hydraulic or...
What size bike? You know the question I have may not fit this thread but you kind of brought it up. I have seen most city buses with bikeracks on front. Why don't I see any lets say 250cc bikes on the front of a MH?
OK. A couple of things. One of the concerns is tong weight. Add 150 to the back will change the tong weight considerably. If you do this for bikes the wind pattern won't change much but other items may. It will be important to verify tong weight and make sure 10% of trailer weight is still on...
For a bike, probably useless. In big cities, for instance, that bike is dissembled and dispersed, within a few hours of it being stolen. And the smart operations likely move the disassembly location around, for that reason. secondly, it seems that police in these places don't care about such...
I have 2 folding fat tire ebikes and no longer wanted to put them inside my suv. I wanted a bike rack setup where I could easily move the bike rack from the suv to the rig while on the road and when we know we’re not going to use the bikes for a few days. I decided on the heavy duty Thule...
We just purchased the Lectric XP Lite that weighs 46lbs just for the same reason. We find these bikes perfect for us with our Tiffin Wayfayer. We can mount on our hitch Tule bike rack or we can fold it up and put in Rv. For the price and quality I believe you will truly enjoy the flexibility...
I'm glad I just stumbled on this post. I just ordered a bike rack and will be carrying three light weight road bikes on it.
I went back and forth trying to decide whether to cover them or not and finally decided not to just thinking of what could happen, and you just solidified it for me not to...
Thank you for your reply. That sounds like it would work. My new motor home came with a bike rack built on the back. The rail’s about 30” off the ground, I will need to work with that .
From everything I've read the front axle of a class A is usually the one that is over loaded and at max capacity, mostly due to the weight of the generator.. If that's true then I think hanging another 300-400 lbs off the front bumper might be the last thing you'd want to do. And remember the...
Wow! Do we have an engineer that wants to run the numbers? I always over build. I sit back and consider as many factors as I can. You know, weight, wind, what kind of terrain I travel, and the occasional pot hole I don't miss.
The short! over build.
That sure was close. I carry my electric bike and a electric scooter on a flat carry rack that fits in the hitch. It has 2 rounded steel brackets (one on each side) that comes up and secures over the tire of each bike. I then bungee they together. I use my bike cable lock to lock them to the...
