Assume it is a weight concern. No intrusion into car obvs.

Look at the pic further up, it sits fairly high so should be good. The towbar comes off when not in use but the e has little natural overhang. Will watch it tho

Cox sent the wiring instructions too

Edit to say it has restrictions around the rack size, you cannot tow a trailer etc. Bracket is sub 10kg for sure, bikes sub 15kg.. rack I assume is pretty light but as you allude, it's all hanging out

Kid is a lanky streak and my 80kg up front should counteract it

 

It’s not maybe that the rack structure and supports could present an intrusion risk in a rear impact ?

 

Possible chip but I spose that risk presents when carrying bikes anyway, does stop people strapping em to an S2 boot?

Anyway, it won't be guidance I adhere rigidly to. Will put the dog in the boot as an airbag
Will get it fitted over easter

 

Looks like the range of the car with bikes on the back and passengers is less than the range of the bikes themselves

 

Not with me on the ****ers 10km off road and I am done
chomping at the bit to get it on now

 

No, no no - you get a roof-mount bike rack, couple of pedelecs, plug them into the e via a step-up transformer and use the kids up there as a range extender.

Just beware of low underpasses.

 

My mate, who is a decent cyclist, can push about 240W

so four hours to get 1kwh which will get yer 4 miles I don't think it's a goer However a small gas turbine range extender?
Given the plug in and forget all I have noticed to date is that you do have to plug it in. As we use it more post lockdown we are doing runs out to Sherwood forest which is 15-20 miles each way, that makes a dent but I just plug it in before or after. Its not a hassle really compared to driving to a petrol station, especially at the moment. Takes about 3s. Won't let you drive off plugged in.

The climate is very good. Maybe based on comparison to my owd knackers

 

Since squirt stations have become mainly supermarkets for Fat Margarets in SUVs, I do find refuelling rather an irksome process.

For the usage, I could probably better manage with an e and a 13A three-pin. And another for the C-TEK.

 

They are more thinly spread and never a pleasant exp round 'ere specially over the last 12m

I havent put petrol in anything since we got this. Its only done about 1k since Jan
DIt bike fell.over and spewed so that needs some but it's 12m+ old so probably best used as paint stripper anyway

 

I've got some like that - takes a few tugs, but the Izy splutters into life on it still.

Had to drive to about three stations with both the KB and the AP recently, before my criteria were met and squirt could be squirted.
