Thank you for that, we do have a similar one that we use when not towing our caravan! The issue was with the hanging rack and finding a false crossbar that would bear the weight, I have since found a suitale one!

Yes I agree over the weight and correct loading. However, our caravan is very small but we load it so one bike can be carried inside and one on a flange attached cycle rack. We prefer our small caravan, don't want a large one as we do a lot of touring. Before retirement, my husband was an...

Our caravan is too small to take two bikes, we carry one inside and one on a bike carrier.

Thank you Flecc, I think if we can get one bike really stable on the carrier , we can then look at how we can cope with two! When we are not pulling the caravan, we have a 'proper' platform carrier which easily takes the two bikes. Incidentally we will remove the batteries before carrying as...

Thank you for all your suggestions, when buying the bikes even though we mentioned what we intended to do with them, none of the sales staff ventured an opinion that carrying could be difficult!

I think your suggestion of extra straps to help take the weight from low down is probably the best idea and I will purchase one of the false crossbars from the USA and try with one bike only to see how the bike sits on the carrier.

Hi Andy, the bike carrier we use is a flange carriwr off our tow ball as we also pull a small caravan! The bike carrier is a post with two forks which go off it for tbe bikes to be carried. It will take the weight of the two bikes as max load is 60kg, although for safety we are considering...

Yes we do have safety straps to tie them to the car, we always did this with our 'normal' bikes, but it is finding a false cross bar adapter that will take at least 25kg/30kg each is the difficulty. We have found one that can be imported from America, but was hoping somebody on Pedelecs might...

Thank you Bluemoon7, unfortunately the ones we have found in Halfords will only take up to 15kg!.

We have purchased 2 Cube Town Hybrid Pro 500 e.bikes which we love, so easy to cycle. Despite the advice they should be carried inside a vehicle (which we hadn't realised when we bought them), we have a small caravan and we carry our cycles on a Witter flange attached tow ball. This will take...
